About

My goal as a Maryland Real Estate Agent is to earn your trust through honesty, dedication, and a fresh approach to buying and selling homes. With over 20 years of experience in the contracting business—10 years in Utah and 13 years here in Maryland—my husband and I have built a strong reputation in home flips, additions, remodeling, and new home construction across Frederick, Howard, Montgomery, Carroll, and Baltimore counties. Our business thrives on repeat clients and referrals, a testament to the relationships we’ve built and the quality of work we provide.

What sets me apart is that my husband and I work together—he as a contractor and I as a Realtor. This unique partnership allows us to provide clients with a well-rounded perspective, combining construction knowledge with real estate expertise to help you make confident, informed decisions. 

My 25-year career in healthcare taught me how to listen deeply and understand people’s needs, which I now apply to serving my clients with care and attention. 

Outside of real estate, I’m passionate about volleyball—I am both a player and a coach for high school and club teams, and I bring that same energy, teamwork, and determination to every client relationship. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling, or investing, I would love the opportunity to guide you every step of the way.

Let me know what your wants, needs, and desires are.

What My Clients Are Saying

“Aurora was recommended to us by a mutual friend. From the first sit down meeting at our kitchen table we felt comfortable and confident we were in good hands. We discussed marketing strategies including home improvements to help make the listing stand out to potential buyers. From that point forward Aurora led the way. She was always available to answer any questions and address any issues. Her confidence to sell the home never wavered even during a slight down market. Aurora used every tool at her disposal to promote viewings and showings of our home. We cant imagine having anyone else for our out of state transition. She coordinated with the agent for the purchase and settlement of our new home. We're truly grateful to have had her as our realtor and highly recommend her. It was a seamless process. Thank you Aurora Smith at Northrop Realty!”

Frank Hinkle

“Aurora was recommended to me by a co-worker who worked with her to buy her first home. Aurora was exceptionally responsive to a changing active status. She was able to switch my appointment to view the home on the day the status changed to active when the status changed a day early. Her negotiation skills are unmatched and I am so thankful that she was familiar with the home buying process because she was able to submit offers and escalations rapidly. She is very knowledgeable about properties in Baltimore County and she was able to explain ground rent and provide additional information about it so I could make an informed decision. I would highly recommend Aurora Smith to anyone looking to purchase a home, especially first-time home buyers. She communicated with me throughout the entire process and was always available to answer questions or to look into the matter in question. She has even checked in with me after closing. She truly cares about her clients and has their best interest at the forefront of her work.”

“As a first-time homebuyer in Frederick, MD, I couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Aurora. She took the time to understand exactly what my budget, neighborhood preferences, must-have features were. Aurora's knowledge of the Frederick, MD market is impressive. She pointed out details about neighborhoods and was always quick to set up showings. Communication was outstanding, she responded to my texts and calls even on the weekends. Aurora made what could have been a stressful experience genuinely enjoyable. I'm now settled into my new home and couldn't be happier.”

Steven Trawick

“Selling a home and saying goodbye forever to a place so central to our family memories is incredibly difficult. But, Aurora instinctively took our hands and guided us through the sale of our mother's home. She did this with heart, dedication, and such professionalism. We put our trust in her and she did not let us down. Her communication was great. She always answered the phone. And, she was particularly good at helping us understand the process of selling a home.”

“Aurora was an absolute Gem throughout the entire process. Not only did she listen to what my needs were, she went above and beyond making sure I have the connection I need even after purchase. She really made buying a home an easier process but made sure I didn't have to worry about a thing, especially during negotiations. I will definitely be recommending Aurora!”

KathrynPaparello

“I met Aurora at an open house and am glad I did. She was very flexible when showing me houses, driving great distances and giving me her honest opinions. She was strategic in making our offer and dogged during the process, which won us our bid. She stayed on top of everything during the process that was complicated because of a relocation company. I’ll recommend her to anyone I know looking for a house.”

Kim Walker

“We can't express enough how grateful we are to have had Aurora by our side during the process of buying our first home. From the very beginning, she was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. Aurora took the time to understand our needs and preferences, and she guided us through every step with professionalism and care. She was always available to answer our questions, no matter how small, and made us feel confident in our decisions. Thanks to Aurora's expertise and dedication, we found the perfect home that exceeded our expectations. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Aurora to anyone looking to buy a home. Thank you, Aurora, for making our dream of homeownership a reality!”

Aurora helped us with the purchase of our new home and made the process so smooth! It was a natural choice to have her help us with the sale of our home when we were ready!

She was wonderful to work with, she understood our concerns and constraints when handling the sale of our home. She did her research and we were able to achieve a much higher sales price for our home than we ever imagined! Our home went under contract quickly and the entire process was well managed.

Aurora did a great job for us, she communicated with everyone involved in the sale and handles problems for us before we even knew they existed! We would highly recommend her to anyone we know.

After 3 long years of forever home searching and several agents,
Aurora found us our forever home in just 3 short weeks. She was very
professional and personable! Aurora took our vision and put it into
action as she found us our home. Not only did she help seal the deal
on our house but she helped seal the deal on my engagement all in the
same day! She is one amazing realtor and friend!
