A third-generation Oregonian, Laura was raised in a small town in the Willamette Valley. Whether skiing at Timberline or playing on the beach in Gearhart, she knew that the diversity and natural wonder of the landscape would make her an Oregonian for life.
After spending nearly ten years in corporate sales and marketing, Laura decided to follow her passion for architecture and interior design into real estate. She has an uncanny ability to see the potential of a space, guiding her clients toward wise decisions whether buying or selling. As a self-described numbers nerd, Laura loves to utilize real estate data to help inform her clients. Values-driven and a constant advocate for her clients, she brings transparency, negotiating power, and a bit of fun to each real estate transaction.
Over the years, Laura has called each quadrant of Portland home and she loves how each neighborhood has its own unique vibe. Currently living in Lake Oswego, she has added the suburban sprawl to her repertoire of location expertise. When she is not out showing homes, you can find Laura chasing after her two adorable kiddos, Sloane and Holden, perusing interior design blogs, tending to her investment properties, or, as an avid runner, hitting one of the many amazing trails the city has to offer.

LAURA CAVANAUGH
Having lived throughout in the United States and abroad, Mandy understands the importance of discovering the perfect place to call “home."
Mandy entered the real estate scene after earning her degree in Biochemistry at the University of San Diego and pursuing her medical research career at Oregon Health and Sciences University. While searching for her first home, Mandy discovered her natural aptitude for architecture and design. The experience sparked a desire to explore more real estate investments such as short- and long-term rentals as well as build, design, and development opportunities. Mandy’s father-in-law, a realtor and developer in Carmel, California, served as her mentor while she built her own real estate investment portfolio.
She offers her clients a unique combination of skills. Her ability to identify the “good bones” of existing homes and imaginative approach to enhancements can turn an ordinary home into an exceptional one. Her most recent residential project is featured in Rejuvenation catalogues and Zillow advertisements.
Genuine, sincere, and committed to her client’s success, Mandy joins Harnish Properties eager to assist with a home or investment property purchase as well as seller listings.
