She kept me updated throughout the home search and offered great insights on the homes, locations, and everything you need to consider when you're buying a home, which can be a stressful and complicated process. Lauren made it easy and stress free. Thanks so much, Lauren!!"

--Jou, Buyer, Investor, Overland Park ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


"We recently had the pleasure of working with Lauren as our realtor during our home buying journey in Kansas City, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! From our very first meeting to the closing day, Lauren's professionalism, expertise, and dedication made our experience not just smooth but also enjoyable.


As we embarked on the home building process, we knew we needed a realtor who could guide us through the complexities involved. Lauren proved to be that perfect partner. She took the time to understand our vision for our dream home and helped us navigate the various builders and available options in the area. Her knowledge of the Kansas City market was impressive, and she provided us with valuable insights about different neighborhoods, schools, and local amenities, helping us make informed decisions.


One of the standout qualities of Lauren is her responsiveness. No matter the time of day, she was always just a text or call away, ready to answer our questions or address any concerns. This level of communication made us feel supported and reassured throughout the sometimes stressful process of building a home.


Throughout the building process, Lauren was our advocate. She attended meetings with the builders, ensuring that our interests were represented at every stage, from design choices to contract negotiations. She helped us understand the various upgrades and options available and provided guidance on which would add value to our home without breaking our budget. Her keen eye for detail ensured that nothing was overlooked, whether it was the layout or finish selections.


Overall, our home buying and building experience with Lauren was nothing short of fantastic. She made what could have been a daunting process feel manageable and even enjoyable. We are now settled into our new home, and we owe much of that happiness to Lauren's hard work and dedication. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and committed realtor in Kansas City, look no further than Lauren."


--Brandon, Relocation, New Construction, Overland Park  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


"Lauren was the absolute BEST realtor I could have asked for as a first time home buyer! Not only is she exceptionally knowledgable, she is incredibly patient and kind (and didn't mind fielding my 7000 questions). I cannot recommend her and her team enough - from offer to closing I knew they were with me every step of the way! If you're looking for an agent in the KC Metro, you simply cannot go wrong with Lauren!"


--Maggie, First-time homebuyer, Brookside ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


"Lauren Smith stood out with her personalized approach. She took the time to understand our preferences and lifestyle, which was evident when she found us a home that matched our wishlist. Throughout the home-buying and selling process, she was incredibly communicative. She promptly answered our questions and informed us about every development. Her genuine care and support extended the relationship beyond a mere transaction, offering us a more holistic and reassuring experience."


--Marissa, Seller & Buyer, Brookside ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


"Working with Lauren to buy our first house was an absolutely magical experience! As a dear friend, she not only understood our needs but went above and beyond to help us find the perfect home in an incredibly competitive market—and within our budget.


Thanks to her expert guidance and well-thought-out strategies, we were able to secure a home that felt just right for us, even in such a challenging market. Lauren’s responsiveness and quick action were truly unmatched. No matter how many questions we had (and there were plenty!), she patiently guided us through every step of the process, making the entire journey to closing as smooth as possible.


We’re so grateful for Lauren’s dedication and professionalism. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only a skilled realtor but also genuinely cares about finding you the perfect home, Lauren is the one!"


--Yuuka, First-time Homebuyer, Fairway ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


"Found Lauren through a friend of a friend and she did a fantastic job. We were complete novices in the home buying process and she provided excellent guidance throughout. We are extremely grateful for her expertise as she helped us find the perfect home.


Lauren brought optimism to each showing, which is refreshing, especially when the home buying process can be particularly grueling. She recognized our likes and dislikes early on and provided an honest and thorough assessment of each house we toured. We really appreciated her input, as she is very knowledgeable on what to look for when purchasing a home, which helped us find the perfect place.


If you are looking for someone who will be patient with you through the process, provide meaningful feedback during tours, and go to bat for you when in negotiations, then you should absolutely hire Lauren as your realtor! We cannot thank her enough for the wonderful job she did for us, and I would absolutely recommend her to everyone!"


--Evan, First-time Homebuyer, Mission


"Professional, warm, caring, kind, diligent, & full of integrity and energy are just a few of the ways I can describe Lauren! An absolute Godsend! I had a beautiful home that needed to be sold. I'm a widow who was living in a house way too large for one person. I had a disappointing experience with a realtor who didn't listen to my needs and my home was on the market for 2 months. No real effort was being made to sell my home and it basically just sat on the internet. I asked a client of mine for help and he referred me to Lauren. Lauren took the time to listen to my needs and understood what I needed out of the sale of my home. From the first time I met her I immediately felt comfortable. Lauren got to work from day one. She explained to me that my house should not have been on the market that long and told me what she would do to fix the problem. She did more to sell my home in one week then had been done for months. My home sold in a week and a half and I made a substantial profit! She was warm, caring an empathetic to my situation. Even after closing she has still been there in case I needed something. I cannot thank her enough!"


--Danielle, Seller, Parkville ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


"Lauren is a fantastic realtor! She worked very hard in selling our home and also assisted with finding our new home all in the span of a month or two. Would recommend to anyone if they want someone who they can fully trust and makes things happen in a timely manner!"


--Neil, Seller & Buyer, Overland Park ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


"Lauren went above and beyond with all aspects of selling our house and purchasing our next house! Lauren had excellent communication throughout the whole process. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent real estate agent!"


--Kristen, Seller & Buyer, Overland Park ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


"It’s been a pleasure to work with Lauren. Her communication, professionalism and knowledge of the Kansas City market is second to none. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients to give them the best possible experience. If you are looking for these qualities in your real estate agent, I can’t recommend Lauren enough."


Brian Riley, Local Lender, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


About Lauren

Hi, I'm Lauren, and there's nothing I love more than helping people find their dream homes in Kansas or Missouri.

While my path from teaching to real estate might surprise some, the transition was fueled by a deep-rooted passion for guiding people through significant life transitions.

As a wife and a mom to three girls, I understand that buying or selling a home is more than a transaction—it's a major life moment.

That's why I go beyond just showing houses; I'm here to streamline the process, educate and empower you when buying or selling–and have a little fun along the way. 

What truly sets me apart is not just my professional knowledge; it's my genuine commitment to the Kansas City community and a true understanding of balancing work and family life. As a local expert who has lived and worked in Kansas and Missouri, I offer unique insights into the nuances of neighborhoods, schools, and each area's unique qualities.

This firsthand experience makes me an invaluable guide for families navigating transitions, ensuring the real estate process is simplified and aligned with your needs.

Beyond real estate, I love spending time with my husband, Blair and my three daughters, Harlow, Vonne and Malone. We love getting outside to play sports like tennis or soccer or ride bikes around the neighborhood. When I’m not with my kids, you can find me playing tennis with friends or exploring a new date night spot with my husband.
