Laura S. Allred
Senior Associate

Laura started her career in Commercial Real Estate in the mid 80’s as the Comptroller for AFDC Development Corporation, a California based holding and development Company.  In this position, she directed the cash flow for 13 office buildings and three mid-size apartment complexes.   During her tenure with AFDC, Westwood Savings and Loan took over the portfolio as General Partner and Laura was asked to become the leasing broker for the assets.   In this capacity, Laura was able to take portfolio occupancy from 35% to 95% in just 18 months.  She coordinated all tenant negotiations, leasehold improvement construction and common area renovations.   Her ability to work with all types of people, to clearly communicate and to organize teams effectively, allowed her to reposition the portfolio assets and ultimately market them for sale.  Westwood Savings and Loan was taken over by the FSLIC Resolution Fund during the S&L crisis and Ms. Allred was retained due to her understanding of the assets and relationships with the tenants.

Ms. Allred continued as an owner representative through the 90’s, expanding her market knowledge to the retail product category, as the Leasing Director for Diamante Properties.  In this role, Laura executed the leasing programs for 10 office buildings and several retail shopping centers in two states with total portfolio square footage in excess of 1.5 million square feet. 

In 2005, Laura started her own investment and development company, with an emphasis on mountain property development.  She still owns property in Buena Vista.

Laura brings over 30 years of broad based commercial real estate experience to the C3 listing team.  In her free time, Laura plays the bass and mentors her daughter, Rachel.
