About Laurie Laurie Coton is a native Texan and third generation Houstonian who has worked and lived in the Inner Loop for over 25 years. When Laurie was a new mom, she began flipping houses to bring in income and still allow a flexible work schedule to be with her young son. With interest in both the real estate transactions and the design aspect of refurbishing the homes, Laurie’s contracting evolved into a professional career as both a top-producing Real Estate Agent and a formally-trained, ASID accredited Interior Designer. Some clients fall under both categories, but many hire us for one or the other. Laurie holds degrees in Interior Design from the Art Institute of Houston and a BBA in Marketing from the University of Texas. Laurie serves as the President & Creative Director of Consilium Home & Office. Prior to leading Consilium, Laurie founded Laurie Coton Designs, for which she was the principal Designer for over 15 years. She is a top-producing Agent for the luxury Real Estate firm Nan & Co. Properties, located on Post Oak Blvd. With 15-20 years’ experience in both industries, Laurie has incomparable expertise of the city’s trade resources, evolving styles, and industry knowledge. Marrying the two complementary careers into one has provided a unique perspective into finding a house and making it a home. Laurie is able to provide personal attention to every Client with a trusted office staff and a first-class brokerage firm behind her. Laurie is charismatic, warm, and genuinely cares about providing superior service to her Clients.
