I was looking to rehab a property and sell it. I don’t live in the Springs — I just had a rental property there. I went on the internet, did some research, read reviews, sorted through the chatter, and focused on things that really stood out. When I spoke with Lauren, I knew she was the real deal. There are a lot of phony baloneys out there, but she’s legit. If you just talk with her for twenty or thirty minutes, you can tell she knows what she’s talking about. She knows her market. She knows what she’s doing. When I met her, she brought all these materials — how to sell a house, what to consider, publications she’s written. And she gives back to important causes — some percentage of her returns she donates to charity — which is important to me. I did a fair amount of market research on my own before I even contacted her, but working with Lauren really helped me fill in some of the gaps because she knew the market better than I did. More importantly, she helped me focus on what to do in terms of rehab work — what to fix and what not to worry about — to get the range I was hoping for when I sold the property. She helped me focus my time and energy on the biggest value-return items instead of wasting time fixing things that don’t matter. She’s flexible. We didn’t necessarily completely agree on everything, but she supported me and made sure I was making the right decisions. She could see my point of view, and having that kind of give-and-take, flexible attitude is super important. I think she’s invaluable. I sold for the figure I wanted and had multiple offers. One was probably another investor, and the other was a newlywed couple. They were thrilled that I bypassed the investor and gave them a shot. At the time, people were taking the cash offers first and foremost, so they were really excited. I got what I wanted out of it — it was a win-win for everybody. It really turned out well for everyone involved, and I was thrilled. She did an outstanding job. I actually live closer to Denver now, but I asked her if she would help me sell my house up here, and she said she’d be willing to drive all the way up and do that. I would hire her in a minute — wouldn’t think twice about it.

I've bought and sold over 10 houses in the last 10 years and Lauren is one of the best realtors I've worked with. I really appreciated her attention to detail and the check in emails she sent. We bought a house and closed in about a week. It all went smoothly thanks to Lauren's attention to detail and fantastic communication.

I sold my house to move into an independent apartment. It was a very precious house to me, hard to leave. It was just too much for me to take care of, even hiring people to help. It was time to sell. But I do have some sadness about it. I needed to feel comfortable about the buyers.  I was fortunate to have a few minutes before the closing to have a little conversation with the buyers, and I felt comfortable that they’re going to love the house as much as I did. That was important to me, and Lauren helped orchestrate that. I also needed it to be as quick a sale as possible. Lauren found a buyer two months after the house was listed, which seemed very quick to me. Lauren helped with more than just selling the house. I first met her years ago when I was considering a condo she was selling. She kept in touch. Then, when I reconsidered an older adult living community and started thinking again about a condo, she helped me. We spent a lot of time during the first pandemic year looking at a bunch of possible condos. Unfortunately, that year was absolutely insane — houses were going under contract within hours, and you had to offer over asking price right away. That didn’t suit me. But Lauren hung in there with me and kept trying. She was so thorough. No question was a stupid question. I decided to wait for this older adult living community to be built. When it finally happened last spring, of course I engaged her to sell my house. I think the world of her.
