Meet Laura

Editor & Real Estate Broker

With over 15 years as a licensed real estate broker (Monarch Legacy Group) and a real estate career that began in 1997 at the esteemed Harry Norman Realtors in Atlanta, GA, Laura Doughty has built a legacy of excellence in luxury real estate. Growing up with her father, Mel, being a publisher, Laura gained an innate understanding of marketing and storytelling, shaping her ability to craft compelling content and create powerful branding strategies for businesses.

Beyond her success in real estate, Laura is a best-selling author, known for sharing her expertise and experiences through her books:

• The Monarchs of Malibu: Billionaire’s Guide to Real Estate
• LaLa's Circle of Love: Stories of Faith & Friendships
• Create Your Monarch Daily Planner & Gratitude Journal

For the past 8 years, she's been the host of The eXperiment podcast, where she explores the intersection of real estate, wellness, and entrepreneurship in our daily lives, inspiring listeners to push boundaries and create their own success.

Her influence in the industry extends far beyond transactions—Laura has coached over 4,000 real estate agents, helping them generate over $6 billion in sales through her innovative Branding and Operations programs like Brand YOU. She thrives on elevating professionals by combining strategy, creativity, and authentic marketing.

Laura’s commitment to holistic living is woven into everything she does. As the founder of Next Living Wellness, she believes true success starts with well-being, integrating that philosophy into both business and life.

Splitting her time between New York City, Kentucky, and Malibu, Laura is always on the move, but she’s never without her beloved companions—Daisy, her English bulldog, and Jasmine, her green-eyed black cat. Whether she’s curating impactful content, guiding real estate professionals, writing bestsellers, or embracing wellness, Laura does it all with passion and purpose.
