About Lauren

I’m a Colorado native who grew up in the housing industry. From the age of five, I attended showings with my mom, fetched contracts from the front desk, listened to her instruct clients on how to navigate a deal, and got candy when I sat through closings. When I was with my dad, a general contractor, I walked around construction sites, lived in houses that he was flipping, discussed floor plans and finishes that would be good for resale, and listened to him talk to subcontractors as well as customers. By the age of 16, I had lived in 12 houses in the greater-Boulder area.

I got my bachelor's degree in advertising, focusing on strategy and customer needs. After college, I lived in Boston, MA, and Austin, TX. During this time, I learned my passion for educating and helping other people grow. I worked in program and event management, with a focus on training. I also tutored students and taught fitness classes. All of these roles allowed me to be both people-focused, in connecting and helping others, and systems-focused in creating tools, utilizing technology, and continuously improving processes to serve clients efficiently.

As a real estate agent, I aim to provide support and guidance through the home buying and selling process, one that is often unfamiliar and can even feel scary. My number one goal is to focus on my clients by listening and understanding their needs, and utilizing tools to help their success.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active with Lagree and spin classes or hiking with my Labrador, Jax. In the summer, I try to spend as much time as possible waterskiing, paddle boarding, or just hanging out by the water. Year-round, I love trying restaurants, walking around Denver, and enjoying the Colorado sunshine from a good patio.

I’d love to connect, discuss your housing goals, develop a strategy, and support you in the process of making those goals a reality.

" I am so happy to have had Lauren handle the sale of our Denver condo. She was proactive with communication and responsive to all of my questions. Lauren provided excellent advice and guidance at every step of the process: pricing, presale improvements, staging, showings and negotiating the final sale. Early in the process Lauren found a solution to a possible restriction on buyer financing that opened the door to multiple offers. When it came time to draw a line in negotiations, she supported my decision while also presenting options that helped get the deal done at a great price." - Allen T.

"My wife and I met Lauren at an open house and we couldn’t be more thankful we did! Lauren was very easy to communicate with, always quick to respond, and found us the perfect home! She gave us the tools to narrow down our search and remembered every detail we had discussed at the consultation throughout the process. She was an excellent negotiator with the seller. We closed significantly under asking with a large credit back after the inspection! She had recommendations for each step of the process and made us feel like we could get any concern resolved with a phone call or text. We feel very fortunate we found the perfect realtor and we couldn’t be happier in our new home! We would highly recommend Lauren to anyone trying to buy or sell their home" - Josh M.

Couldn't recommend her enough!" - Nicole D.
