MEET THE VISIONARIES
LAURA ANCONA & CHRISTY ABATE
We have been best friends for over a decade, affectionately calling each other "soul sisters" long before we ever imagined just how far that divine connection would take us. We met through our mutual connection to real estate. Laura has been practicing real estate since 2004, and has been a top producing Realtor with William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty since she joined the firm in 2007. Laura has always attributed her real estate success to her "secret weapon" Christy, who has been providing staging and interior decorating services to Laura's clients long before "staging" was even a well known term. Christy has been in retail for over 15 years, owning The Little House Shoppe from 2011-17. Her love of color and composition influences her design aesthetic and her stores. Together, Christy and Laura have always instinctively known that to sell a home, you need to create the right energy to draw the buyer in. Laura and Christy continue to offer full real estate and staging services. Christy and Laura have created a store that embodies positive energy and offers comprehensive merchandise which reflects that mission.
We are Purveyors of Positivity (POP) for the home, body, and soul. POP in and see for yourselves
