Lauren Schaffer

Lauren is a natural entrepreneur, bringing high energy and a positive spirit to everything she does. She is known amongst her peers as a masterful connector, project manager, and problem solver, always thinking 10 steps ahead and streamlining the customer experience along the way. This innate drive, coupled with a keen eye for style and a love of people, is what fuels her passion for luxury real estate sales in New York City.

Lauren’s real estate business spans across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens where she enthusiastically partners with her clients to buy, sell, and rent homes. Her knowledge of New York City’s complex and evolving real estate market is extensive. Above all else, Lauren brings a warmth and ease to the process that makes those around her feel comfortable in any high-stress scenario.

Lauren is a proud graduate of Vanderbilt University. Prior to real estate, she kick-started her career as an HR Manager within the niche start-up markets. She worked in fast-paced industries such as entertainment, digital media, and technology, where she built “people programs” aimed at maximizing employee potential. No matter the task at hand, her primary goals remained the same: put the client’s needs first, identify creative solutions to difficult problems, and build trusted relationships through action. Lauren proudly brings the same client-centric approach to her work in real estate.

In her spare time, Lauren loves attending Broadway shows, biking around the city with her husband, relaxing at her family’s cabin in New Hampshire, and taking her miniature schnauzer on long romantic walks. As a Chicago native, Lauren always knew she was destined to call New York City her home, but that doesn’t stop her from showcasing a healthy dose of Midwestern charm along the way!
