"After getting connected with Lauren, she was able to do home showings the following weekend. She made the one-hour drive to Maryland. I gave Lauren a strict timeline of two months from looking at homes to moving into a place. She was able to accomplish that and answer any questions that I had. Highly knowledgeable about any questions that came up during the home buying process. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buying a home. -Yelp Review "

In many negotiation cases, she even got into helping the inspection requirements as smooth as possible. Take leadership on maintaining all the required services. Will do business with her again. Thanks Lauren & her Compass team. -Zillow review "

"Lauren was incredibly knowledgable, patient, and helpful at every step of the way in my recent real estate purchase. She was very responsive and able to act quickly when it was time to make an offer - two skills that are very important in a competitive like DC. Lauren's skillful, strategic advice from start-to-finish, including the negotiations in between, helped me land a new home with which I'm thrilled. On top of all that, Lauren really knows the DC and what makes it unique.

"As a first time home buyer, Lauren provided a lot of helpful information about the general home buying process, what to expect during the different stages of buying a home, and was available to show me condos in Maryland within short notice. I am very happy with my new condo and my home buying experience thanks to Lauren! -Yelp review "


"Lauren was an incredible realtor. She was extremely friendly and helpful in my search for a house while also being incredibly quick to respond and efficient at getting her work done. She was willing to fight for me when the opposing realtor was being difficult.

But what really sets Lauren apart from other realtors is her knowledge of homes, renovations, signs of damage to look for, etc. She doesn't merely showcase a house, she thoroughly inspects it with you and makes sure that you are fully informed of any potential issues that would arise from purchasing that place. This type of due diligence is amazing and very reassuring to know she wants what is best for her client rather than making a quick buck! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to purchase a home in the DMV. -Facebook review

"We loved working with Lauren. We are currently residing in Pennsylvania so traveling 3 hrs to view properties sometimes became a scheduling challenge. Lauren was very accommodating to our needs in making herself available to meet with us and arranging multiple same-day viewings. Her current knowledge of the was indispensable. She provided expert guidance for our offer submission that led to us buying a home that checked all our boxes. Working with Lauren was a pleasant and fun experience! -Realtor.com review "


"I am so lucky to have randomly run into Lauren at an Open House. I was toying with the idea of buying a place, but knew absolutely nothing about homeowning or the process of becoming a homeowner. Lauren was helpful without being pushy. She listened to what I wanted and provided feedback. I found the perfect condo and have been in love with my place for almost 2 years. And now, I can genuinely call Lauren my friend! - Facebook review "
