This was my first time buying a house. I had never worked with a Realtor before. I was finishing up graduate school and had a job lined up in Colorado Springs. My new boss recommended Lauren to me because she’d worked with her before. She was helpful and kind. I didn’t feel stupid asking her questions. She would answer them all and give me guidance and help me figure out what was next in the process, and what to expect. I felt I could trust her with the things I was looking for. I wasn’t concerned about being cheated. Since I was on a different schedule coming from out of state, Lauren ended up working with me at a time that I’d have normally considered after hours — like, she should have been home. That was impressive. She was timely and responsive. We kept changing the search parameters to find the fit I was looking for. I ended up buying a house that she was also the seller’s broker for — it never reached the market. She’d told me about it a month or so before it was ready and I filed it in the back of my head as we looked elsewhere. When we didn’t find anything, she showed it to me when it became available and it was perfect. I made an immediate offer. I love my neighborhood and it’s close to my work, which is great.
