Laura L. Jackson

REAL Estate Agent

Laura Jackson is a Florida Real Estate Agent with the Jackson Florida Realtor Team and Florida Realty Investments.  She is married to Chuck Jackson, also a Florida Real Estate Agent, and has three children and a long loving marriage.  Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, Laura’s family relocated to Orlando Florida when she was but four years old and Laura considers herself a true Central Floridian.  Being from a family of strong Christian values, Laura attended private Christian schools including elementary and middle school at Orlando Junior Academy, high school at Forest Lake Academy before attending college at Southern Adventist University in Collegedale Tennessee, a suburb of Chattanooga, where she obtained her nursing degree.  

After 35 years in practice as a Registered Nurse, Laura rose to a position of Nurse Educator where she lecturers and teaches those who learn the ethical, respectful, and strategic importance of optimal care of vulnerable patients.  In her practice as an educator, she has learned that the same core value she learned as an RN are essential in all business and applies these values in her practice of Real Estate.  Laura says “Although different subject matters, health and home are intertwined.  Whether you have been in a hospital or you are buying or selling a home, both are life events and an emotional roller coaster ride.  Both require facts, delivered with compassion in the attempt to attain the most favorable outcome for the family involved.” 

No one understands compassion and favorable outcome greater than Laura and her family.  As a stage 3 Cancer Survivor, she and her family took an emotional roller coaster ride that reached from Orlando to Germany over a period of many months.  Facing the potential of a perilous outcome, undeterred one day while in Germany, she observed a glider plane pass the clinic where she was being treated for her cancer and decided to try gliding herself regardless of her condition.  So, she and Chuck rented bicycles, found the glider airstrip, she strapped a parachute to her back and took a glider plane ride across the countryside.  The danger gave her new found confidence and in the months that followed Laura overcame her cancer and remains cancer free today.  A True Survivor.

Buyers or Sellers alike will find no better real estate representation than Laura.  Her family, friends, peers, and business constituents alike quickly recognize her dependable, honest, and compassionate hard-working ethics in her representation of buyers and sellers when selling or finding homes for families.  As a real estate agent, daughter, wife, mother, nurse, cancer survivor and Christian, no one understands the family unit more that Laura and the importance of selling or buying a home.  She understands that each house is the place of childhood memories, places we argued and played, marked our door jambs with markings of growth, got ready for school, hung our artwork, worked out of, and built futures.  

Laura believes a house is more than just a house, it’s “HOME” and she wants her buyers and sellers to know that when representing them

Charles T. Jackson

REALTOR

Central Florida, where one out of every 4 persons living here is from another state, Charles ‘Chuck’ Jackson, is the exception and one of a few you will have an opportunity to meet who was born here, in Orlando, Florida, lived here his entire life and knows the Central Florida terrain better than most Realtors.  Knowing Central Florida as Chuck does, gives him a navigational awareness and advantage over most realtors to place families in just the right home location for convenient easy access to their places of business, children’s schools, shopping, entertainment, and all within a budget to fit their daily living. 

Much of this real estate proneness comes from Chuck’s becoming an Eagle Scout in his youth, learning to navigate the internet as a computer science major in college, marketing strategies acquired as a business entrepreneur and owner and just being a husband, father, Christian, and family man.  

Chuck says he entered real estate sales because, “My love for family pushes me to try and provide the best, safest, meaningful life possible for them.  Having the right home in the right location is life changing. This is much of why I became a Realtor. In Real Estate I get the best reward, and there is no greater feeling, in selling something that is meaningful and life changing to other families.”  

In addition to his position as a Realtor, Chuck works closely with Attorney Kristen Jackson at Jackson Law PA as a real estate manager regarding matters of preparation and review of real estate contracts and title closing documents.

Growing up in Orlando and having attended many of the local schools including, University of Central Florida, Winter Park High, Lake Highland Prep in Orlando and Dommerich Elementary in Maitland, Chuck has developed a large circle of friends, acquaintances, and business associates.  

Prior to becoming a Realtor, Chuck started MailRx Pharmacy and RxCoop pharmacy supplies. In addition, he has over 30 years of sales and consulting expertise with many local businesses including Letco Medical, Transaction Data Systems, Bay Resources, Winn Dixie, Central Florida Flooring, ComputerLand, Florida Hospital Association, ICR, and Bay Resources Computer Systems. So, when it comes to buying or selling a home, do not be astonished to learn that you either know or met Chuck at school, work, or crossed paths with him in some capacity.

Chuck and his wife Laura, also a Realtor with Jackson Florida Realtors/Florida Realty Investments and real estate manager with Jackson Law PA, first met on a blind date.  Love at first blind sight, they married and have raised 3 children to young adulthood.  He and his family enjoy boating and water skiing.
