Testimonials

★★★★★
"We have worked with Lauren for years and have consistently been impressed by her as a hardworking, highly responsive, and deeply connected realtor who truly goes above and beyond for her clients. We first worked with her as first-time homebuyers moving from San Francisco to Sausalito, and she found us the perfect starter home in our price range. When our family grew, she expertly guided us through selling that home and finding the ideal family home in Mill Valley. A few years later, she helped us secure our forever home in Tiburon. Lauren has an exceptional network, is often first to know about off-market opportunities, and always brings insight, dedication, and calm confidence to every step of the process."    - Michelle & Bryan

"What a pain-free experience we had after selecting Lauren to sell our Mill Valley home. She is an extraordinary professional who knew what needed to be done. Our home was sold off market at a premium to buyers who worked with our timeline. We were thrilled with the results and ease of the deal. Her knowledge of the market and access to key players can’t be beat!" - Michael & Rebecca

★★★★★
"Lauren helped us as first time home buyers expertly navigate the real estate process. She was there every step of the way, and knew our areas of interest inside and out. We were considering Mill Valley, Tiburon and Sausalito. She understood the pros and cons of each neighborhood as well as the specific micro climates. My fiancé and I could not have asked for more timely, detail-oriented, thorough, and ethical service as part of our home search process. In a very tough buyers market, she was able to get us in a home that met all of our requirements in a very timely manner. We are thrilled with our new home and thrilled with the service she provided. I will without a doubt recommend her to anyone who is looking for a real estate agent." - Cody & Janelle

★★★★★
"I can't thank Lauren enough for her terrific work in selling our property. We interviewed a number of real estate brokers before selecting Lauren. She without a doubt knows this business inside out. Her advice in recommending stagers and a reliable crew to make key improvements to our property was invaluable and the property looked terrific. We sold over asking and within a week of coming on the market. I've sold many properties over the years and none have gone as smoothly as this one. I can’t thank her enough for her thoroughly professional work." - Sarah L.

★★★★★
"My husband and I were amazed time and again at the obstacles Lauren was able to overcome. Lauren helped us with the sale of our house in Mill Valley and the subsequent purchase of our home in Sausalito. We had circumstances both times that required her to be incredibly diplomatic, knowledgeable, and on top of it all a very tough negotiator. No matter how difficult things became, Lauren was not only able to negotiate win-win situations, but consistently did so while remaining calm, warm and generous of spirit." -Jim & Katie
