SARAH LAASER-WEBB, LEAD REALTOR®

Exceptional customer service has been the cornerstone of Sarah’s career, and she is passionate about guiding clients through every step of the real estate journey with clarity, confidence, and ease. With a deep understanding of the challenges that come with buying, selling, and moving, Sarah is committed to being a trusted resource—both for her clients' real estate needs and their transition into the community.

In addition to her work as a REALTOR®, Sarah took a bold step by opening her own office in Gilbert, where she restored a historic Main Street building. This endeavor perfectly reflects her strengths in project management, real estate investment, and financial oversight. Sarah also manages rental properties—both for herself and her clients—maintaining a reliable team of skilled craftsmen who are available not only for property maintenance but also to assist her sellers in preparing their homes for market.

Sarah's connection to community runs deep. She has served on the Meeker Elementary PTO board, participated in various Ames Community School District subcommittees, and currently serves on the Friends Committee for Youth & Shelter Services. In addition, she is a licensed Iowa foster parent, reflecting her commitment to making a positive impact wherever possible.

A strong advocate for philanthropy, Sarah led the RE/MAX Real Estate Center team in earning the “Outstanding Business Philanthropist Award” in 2019 from the Story County Alliance for Philanthropy—an honor that highlights her dedication to giving back and inspiring others to do the same.

Driven by integrity, service, and heart, Sarah brings unmatched knowledge and compassion to every client interaction, ensuring you feel supported from start to finish—and well beyond the closing table.

RACHEL KENNEY LAUBENTHAL, REALTOR®

Rachel joined The Laaser-Webb Team in July 2024, bringing with her a strong background in business and negotiation. As the daughter of a military family, Rachel became well-versed in the challenges and opportunities of relocating—an experience that shaped her passion for helping others feel at home in new communities. Her unique perspective and skill set make her a valuable asset to our team and to the clients she serves.

Rachel lives in Humboldt, Iowa with her husband Joe, a third-generation farmer, and their three beloved cats—Stuart, Clara, and Abigail. Outside of real estate, she and Joe enjoy spending time with friends and family, often exploring Iowa’s local wineries and breweries. A devoted Cyclone fan, Rachel never misses a chance to cheer on her team whenever time allows.

SARA ROBERTS, OPERATIONS MANAGER & CLIENT CARE

Sara brings over 30 years of experience in the human services field, where she built a reputation for compassion, connection, and a deep commitment to serving others. Her extensive background, paired with a strong sense of community and genuine passion for people, makes her a valued asset to our real estate team.

In her role, Sara oversees daily operations, manages marketing initiatives, and ensures every client receives exceptional care throughout their journey. Her strengths in organization, time management, and relationship-building are already elevating our client experience and contributing to the continued growth and success of the team.

Outside of work, Sara enjoys running a small business of her own and spending time with her close-knit family: her husband, Matt; daughter Rachel and daughter-in-law Dani in Portland, OR; son Ben—owner of Wagner’s Golf in Ames—and his fiancée Claudia; and her youngest daughter, Jenna, who’s still at home. She also loves reading, cooking (especially trying new recipes), and cheering on her favorite sports teams.
