Beginning with the listing of my home in Key Largo, I have been very happy with her service. My original realtor gave my home very little attention. I received one offer over a number of months, yet it was well below my asking price. Lauren came in, raised the asking price, and marketed the house. Within a month, we negotiated a sales $300,000 higher than my first offer. Clearly, I was thrilled.
Even before I even closed the Key Largo home, she found me a bay front home (within my budget) which just went in the market . I was hesitant to see it, yet she insisted and I’m glad she did. We were the first and only buyer to see the home. That same day, she wrote the contract and they accepted. During the inspection period, Lauren was successful in negotiating a very substantial credit.
She continues to show me investment opportunities, and maybe one day soon, I will be back under contract.

Working with Lauren while searching for my own rental apartment in the South Beach, Miami Beach area was a great experience. She was always communicative, highly knowledgeable about the market, and knew exactly when and how to apply the right amount of pressure to get timely responses. Her understanding of comparables and market dynamics made the process smooth and efficient. I highly recommend working with her.

I’ve known Lauren for over 30 years, and she continues to impress me in every role she takes on. She is incredibly quick-thinking, one of the most creative people I know, a natural leader, and a risk taker. Lauren has a rare ability to brainstorm and clearly articulate how to execute effective business strategies, and I’m always amazed at her insights and ideas for any business function.
When I worked with her as my real estate agent, those same qualities truly shined. She guided me through the process with confidence and clarity, anticipated challenges before they came up, and always had innovative solutions at the ready. She made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless and even exciting. Lauren’s mix of creativity, business savvy, and genuine care make her not only a trusted advisor but also someone you’re grateful to have in your corner.

I wanted to thank you for all your hardworking in selling my home in Key Largo. I had listed the property 6 months earlier with another realtor who couldn’t get anything done. Once you took over, your proactive marketing and social media outreach, quickly brought me a buyer. You’re advice and negotiating skills allowed us to bridge our differences and secure a contract. Even after the contract was signed, you didn’t stop there and were extremely helpful with the inspections and negotiations over a repair addendum.I want to thank you again for your tireless effort and work to get this to the finish line. I look forward to our next closing.

When we decided it was time to look for a beach house in New England to get away from the summer heat in the south, we contacted Lauren to navigate us through the process. She immediately referred us to an amazing local broker. And it’s a good thing she did because the home we were interested in already had multiple offers and if we had waited even one day, we would have missed out on this fabulous property. Thank you Lauren for knowing exactly what do!

Lauren is the best realtor we’ve ever had. We gave her a “needle in the haystack” type of search, on a very tight timeline, and she exceeded our expectations on all dimensions. She quickly and thoroughly clarified our needs & wants, immediately went to work to identify a strong set of options for consideration, never wasted our time on properties that wouldn’t meet our needs, creatively negotiated price and dates, and remained totally focused on our needs way past our move-in date. Needless to say going forward we will be using Lauren on every South Florida real estate transaction and recommend you do the same.

Lauren was amazing in my search for my Miami Beach home. She seamlessly organized day after days of showings, making sure everything always went smoothly. She was extremely educated on every property and put together a CAP sheet spreadsheet for me to help make the best decision on my investment. She made sure I met every milestone and stayed on track from offer to close so everything went off without a hitch. I had a complicated purchase with a double 1031 exchange and 1 reverse exchange, so her financial and business background came in handy in her being looped in with the lawyers. Not only did she do a great job negotiating my purchase, but she also marketed my property for rent prior to closing, and we were able to go under contract for rent within a few days of closing in the off-season. I will continue using Lauren for all of my real estate transactions. I have also already referred her to long-time friends to work with and continue to always think of ways to refer her. She is the best!

I've known Lauren since she was an MBA student in my class back around 2007. We reconnected on a personal level about 10 years ago and have been friends ever since. Thus, I know her as both a former student and close friend. There are so many positive things I could say about Lauren but I will keep this brief and focus on her creativity/innovation, social skills/community building, and conscientiousness. In terms of creativity, Lauren has worked many years in the fashion industry and now also in real estate. She has an innate knack for understanding what is beautiful and visually appealing. In terms of her social skills/community building, she is extremely warm and personable. Lauren can work easily with all types of people. Furthermore, she has a passion for fostering positive professional connections among others and I have seen this first-hand through a women's professional networking group she founded. Finally, Lauren is conscientious. She is always going to meet deadlines. She is always going to follow through - and the quality of the work will be impeccable. I would personally trust her with my most important tasks!!

I worked with Lauren to rent my two-bedroom apartment in Miami in an extremely competitive rental market when inventory was in short supply. Not only was she well-informed on the market, comps, and presented me with a list of immediate options that matched my requirements to a tee, but she was also incredibly easy to work with and supportive of my preferences. I felt she "had my back" throughout the process, asking the questions I hadn't thought of during showings. She even followed up on her vacation to make sure I had settled in okay. I highly recommend working with Lauren. I will certainly do so in the future for my next apartment.
