Lauren Chao

Lauren has an eye for beauty, a mind for business, and a penchant for outstanding service. With a background in the high-end fashion and jewelry industries, Lauren came to real estate with great expertise in catering to her clients' unique and discerning needs. Her keen attention to detail in everything she does makes working with Lauren an extreme pleasure when searching for that special place to call home in New York.

"Finding a home is a major undertaking and an exciting experience. While timing and finances are of course of utmost concern, there should always be an element of enjoyment and empowerment that comes from working with the right agent."

Lauren conducts all dealings with honesty, integrity and dedication, building relationships with her clients based on mutual trust and loyalty. "There can be no other way in the service business. Relationships are the heart of what makes effective partnerships and what facilitates successful deals."

Having lived in New York City since 1999, Lauren has a keen understanding of the different neighborhoods that make the city tick. She enjoys sharing her knowledge with clients and helping them realize their goals and vision in a dream apartment whether in Manhattan or in Brooklyn.

Prior to entering real estate, she worked as a wholesale account executive and freelance consultant for top fashion brands, then designed custom jewelry for private clients. Lauren holds a degree in Art History from New York University, where she was captain of the lacrosse team. Because she loves keeping active, you can often find her riding her bike around NYC, her favorite mode of transportation. "It's the best way to get around the city and explore!"
