What others are saying

Lauren knew what she was doing, offered her suggestions on what the local market was like, responded in a timely manner to questions that I had.. she was understanding of pets in the household when coming over to discuss offers

- DAKOTA

Lauren found us an off market property that exceeded our expectations on quality and price. She listened closely for exactly what we were looking for and went out and found exactly that. She was on top of all negotiations and communication was excellent. Lauren was honest and attentive the entire way of this process, and even after. We felt like we were her only clients (which we were not) but she still handled everything with ease and the upmost professionalism. I highly recommend working with Lauren, she is a great person and realtor.

Lauren was great from start to finish in the buying process. Based on what I was looking for she looked outside of the box to accomplish my goal within my time frame that I was looking. Even after the purchase there were some things that she didn't necessarily have to help with but took initiative to help me get some questions answered. I can't wait to buy again with her!
