Most of their business comes from friends and referrals from friends and past customers, which makes their job fun and enjoyable. Not only do they love working with their friends and family, they love the new connections they make from their internet presence.

I was born and raised in Ocala and although I moved away for undergraduate and graduate school, I knew I wanted to move back at some point to raise my own family. I went to Auburn University where I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and later earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work at the University of South Florida. I spent almost 10 years as a teacher in the Marion County Public School system before transitioning to a career in Real Estate. I have a 9 year old daughter and a 7 year old son who definitely keep me on my toes! I love spending time with family, relaxing at the beach, and watching college football, particularly Auburn football- War Eagle! I really enjoy the variety of roles I am able to play for my clients throughout their real estate transactions, from teacher, to counselor, adviser, and ultimately a trusted friend. It’s the perfect mix of my past experience and I love it! I look forward to helping you in your journey!

I have always chosen careers in service. Whether it was in sales management for a large
women’s retailer, in real estate sales or in healthcare, I made it a priority to be an exceptional
communicator delivering great customer service. I moved to Marion County in 2004 and began
my Real Estate Career in 2006 where I was awarded the “Rookie of the Year” in Sales. I
eventually went on to study Nursing and have worked in the hospital setting and for our local
hospice in Marion County. I have decided to return to real estate sales and I am so excited to be a
part of Sellstate Next Generation Realty and the Laurie Ann Truluck Team!
On a personal note, I am the proud wife of a local high school principal and the mom of two
young men. I enjoy spending time with my family and hosting get-togethers with them. I love to
travel and one of my favorite destinations is Denver, Colorado to visit my son, Ethan. Another
favorite pastime is watching my son, Elias, play college baseball at Thomas University in
Southern Georgia. I love the beach and our central location allows for a short drive to either
coast of Florida. There are beautiful springs here and I enjoy kayaking on the Rainbow and
Silver River. I am an avid Florida Gator fan and can be found in “The Swamp” on Saturdays in
the fall. I have thoroughly enjoyed raising my sons in Marion County. They received a great
education here. They have participated on multiple sports teams and have met some great friends
that are like family to us. I love to call Ocala “home” and I know you will too.
With a passion for serving the Marion County area, I am ready to help with your home buying,
selling and investing needs. I will carry the values of hard work, integrity, and outstanding client

I am a driven person with a wealth of experience, having enjoyed 16 wonderful years of marriage to my husband Mark who works in the construction industry. My journey through life has been a diverse and fulfilling one, shaped by my strong passion for service and a deep commitment to my family. Before my real estate career, I worked as an ER nurse, where I dedicated myself to helping those in need during critical moments. However, as my family expanded, I made the choice to stay home and nurture our three incredible daughters: Mckenzi, Juliana, and Olivia. Watching them grow and thrive has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. In recent years, I've also taken on the role of a proud grandmother to a lively two-year-old grandson, a source of boundless joy and love.
