Lauren and her team were amazing. Their recommendations were on point and paid off. Lauren is an excellent strategist; she wasn’t afraid to emphasize the key improvements needed while keeping the budget and ROI in mind. She “got” the house and why it is special. The whole process was smooth from start to finish. In the end we had eleven offers, sold after the first weekend and received over the asking price. Lauren inspires confidence and makes the process fun.

We’re not sure we could write a review that could properly encapsulate the joyful and empowering experience of working with the Goché Team. While we’re not unseasoned buyers, we recognize there’s still so much to learn in a that market continues to evolve. We wanted a realtor who was brutally honest, judicious, and fierce. We also wanted someone with strategic business sense and a good heart so that everyone involved (sellers and buyers) could walk away from the purchase feeling good about the sale. When it was time to consider purchasing a home, what struck us about Lauren above all else was that she listened to us every step of the way. She listened to our anxiety and didn’t diminish those fears, even going so far as to express how she agreed. She shared her perspective on the market and spoke honestly about what we could expect. She listened to our quietest child about what he wanted in a house to make it a home (space for his mac and cheese spices on an island!). She listened to what wasn’t said and could articulate why it was important for every member of our family. One of my favourite memories will be of Lauren looking at me incredulously and asking me “Why are you trying to make yourself fit into this house? It’s not your house.” And Maria nodding sagely with a look that said, “You don’t need to settle.” That’s what we wanted in a realtor team. Maria was an amazing communicator. We sent Maria house choices, and she filtered them – explaining that she wouldn’t send us to places that were too close to busy roads or because it was right next to the freeway. We were floored by the speed of the responses and the details of the emails we received. We knew what to expect for every stage of the purchasing experience. Threads were organized by subject, and emails were hilarious and entertaining to read! It is no small task to be able to truly connect with people, and Lauren and Maria did it naturally with us. We’re grateful that our first memories with our new home will be laughing with Lauren and Maria before we purchased our house and the joy they brought to the experience.

Added 17 July - Seller's Perspective
I’m writing this from the perspective of a seller (previous review was that of a buyer), so I’m happy to share my experience with Lauren from this side. From the very beginning, we wanted the entire experience to be cordial and as easy as possible for both ourselves and our buyer because we knew the experience of buying a house can be stressful for all those involved. One can easily fall out of love with a house if the seller’s realtor is a pain, and we will always advocate for people to get a realtor because they serve as a buffer to keep feelings from getting too heated. I will always appreciate Lauren’s ability to advise honestly and kindly and for her willingness to serve as a protective shield for her clients. She pairs her knowledge with her instincts, and she listens to what isn’t said. It was clear from the very beginning that Lauren knew how to properly price our old home for the location and the market. She paid attention to showing numbers and the general notes/comments from prospective buyers to advise us on next steps. When we moved into pending, Lauren’s project management skills were incredible. She works with the best contractors, and I think it says a lot when good people work together. She handled every detail and communicated clearly with us about the progress. She always acted in our best interests when speaking with the buyers. She was cordial and kind, but she was also firm in how she advocated our best interests. It’s an important combination, and not every realtor possesses this skill. Lauren is truly one of those realtors who “knows her stuff,” and I am not exaggerating when I say that it is a gift to work with her. And plus, my dog loves her and I’m going to trust his judge of character.

Absolutely fantastic. Lauren and Maria bring deep experience and expertise to the home buying process. They listen carefully to what you're looking for, ask great questions and will keep your search realistic.

Buying a home with Lauren and Maria was an incredible experience start to finish. Being first-time homebuyers and buying a home from across the country comes with many challenges and Lauren and Maria were ready to meet those challenges with ease. Their expertise, confidence, honesty, and compassion made this process as smooth and fun as possible. They were never focused on simply getting us under contract, but were focused on helping us make the right decision. What impressed us most was their willingness to tell us not to make an offer when they believed a house wasn't the right fit for us. Couldn't recommend them enough and would absolutely work with them again!

Dream team! My partner and I moved from across the country and knew we wanted to land in a cozy home as soon as we arrived in Portland. Seemed ambitious – but Lauren and Maria always gave us the confidence that it was possible, even as first time homebuyers placing offers sight unseen. Not only was it a seamless, well supported process but fun and exciting. We have the utmost gratitude for this team helping us close on the perfect home. 10/10, would recommend.

Working with Lauren and Maria was a dream! I felt very well taken care of throughout what turned out to be a longer house search than expected. I appreciated their no nonsense approach when it came to steering me away from a couple houses that were super cute but would have been a lot more work than I have time for, as well as their going hard for the houses I made offers on that met all my criteria. Throughout the process, they answered all my many questions right away, handled all the paperwork seamlessly, and generally were just a pleasure to spend time with. Ultimately, I ended up in a house full of charm in my ideal location and within my budget. I couldn't be happier with my experience with them and recommend them without any reservations whatsoever.

Lauren and her team are unparalleled real estate professionals. I recommend them to anyone without any hesitation!

Lauren helped us buy our dream home and subsequently sell our first house. It was our first time as sellers and she led us through the process with patience and determination. Notably, she priced our house so competitively that we received a multitude of offers the first weekend it was listed and it sold well above asking.

As buyers, she got us a house in a perfect location that is historic and charming in a size we didn’t think was possible in our budget. She knew exactly how to craft a competitive offer and diligently followed up with the listing agent, which undoubtedly led to us getting the home.

Bottom line: if you are buying or selling or even thinking of doing either, contact Lauren. She won’t lead you astray!! We are so grateful for her wisdom.

First time home-buyer here. Lauren and Maria were there every step of the way to answer all of our many questions and gave us guidance in terms of what was a smart purchase vs what we needed to walk away from. We didnt feel rushed and we really felt like they cared about finding us the right home. The home inspection professionals they recommended are excellent and thorough, something invaluable in the home-buying process.

Thanks to Team Goche, we're closing on our dream home today!! Highly recommend going with this absolutely stellar team!

Lauren and her team brought context, connections, and perspective that made the process of selling my house make sense.

Did we go from listing to an accepted offer in three days? Heck yes! But the five stars on this review are for a host of things beyond the speed and straightforwardness of the sale. Lauren's educational materials are thorough and plentiful and SO useful, the plan for the sale started months out and stayed on track to-the-day the entire time, I got an intro to every single team-member who joined the process (no random emails from strangers), and the team's local network of contractors and other tradespeople made the sale prep a thousand times simpler.
Also, Lauren and Maria do an incredible job of navigating the murky waters of late-stage capitalism ethically. Buying or selling a home is one of of the biggest financial events most individuals experience. Having realtors who can gently pilot through those surreal waters, while acknowledging how weird the whole process is, makes it feel not just more straightforward and also much more human.

This was my first house buying experience. I had NO idea what to look for/ask/care about. Lauren was always straight up with the facts- countering my innocent non discernment brain with nope, this is why. And the result? My daughter are in a dream home in a dream location. Communication was clear and quick the whole time. I wish I could buy another house just to work with them again. ;)

Lauren and Maria were FANTASTIC to work with. As first time home buyers (and folks who never thought we could ever afford a home) Lauren and Maria made it really easy and no question was too silly to ask. They find a terrific balance of direct honesty and good humor, and made the home buying process feel far less intimidating than we had expected. For anyone in Portland, but especially artists, I would HIGHLY suggest working with them and will absolutely be contacting them again in the future if we ever need a realtor.

Lauren and Maria were amazing to work with in buying our first home. After the first meeting, my husband and I said "either Lauren is the perfect realtor for us or she is really good at her job". The answer turned out to be both.

We were lucky enough to get our first(!) offer accepted on our dream home. Lauren knew what we needed to do to get our offer accepted and we are so happy it worked out.

In addition, even after we closed, Lauren helped us when the rent back with the sellers ended up being a little complicated. She helped turn what could've been a stressful situation back into our celebratory keys day and literally helped carry furniture into the garage without being prompted.

You will be in the best hands with Lauren and Maria - they are not only amazing at finding people homes but also truly wonderful people.

Lauren and Maria are amazing. We were looking for something very specific and they stuck with us until we found our dream property. They are super dialed in with paperwork and process which made everything a breeze. Then when it was time to sell they truly went above and beyond and we sold in 1 weekend of listing for well over asking! Lauren is hugely knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to ensure you get everything you need! Highly recommend.

Lauren and Maria were awesome to work with on our move from Rhode Island to Portland. With only a few quick trips west to house hunt, they worked around our schedule and gave us detailed virtual walkthroughs from afar.

Lauren kept our values at the center, was honest about what fit our budget, and balanced compassion with decisive guidance. She was a fierce negotiator, made us laugh, and encouraged us to keep going until we found a home we truly love.

Maria stepped in seamlessly when needed. Together, they made the process smooth, supportive, and even fun. Highly recommend this team!

Best realtor ever! Lauren and team helped us buy a home and sell a home and both transactions were smooth. Even with a few challenging issues Lauren made it easy. Lauren is very knowledgeable about homes and codes, can spot issues and recommend skilled contractors for prompt and thorough fixes. She even called out a buried broken sewer pipe before the plumber found it. It’s as if she has X-ray vision! You can trust her to tell you the honest truth if a house isn’t worthy, even though she could be risking a possible commission. Hire Lauren Goché -Think Real Estate! Simply the best!

My husband and I are moving to Portland OR from out of state. We were so overwhelmed at the beginning of this journey, not knowing the area and having so many realtors to choose from it seemed like such a mountain of a task. We were referred to Lauren by a friend, and I cannot believe how lucky we got right off the bat. If I could give Lauren and her team more than 5 stars you better believe I would! She is such a treat to work with. Her personality is so warm and fun, you can't help but have a great time around her. She's so knowledgeable about Portland and all the different neighborhoods which made our search so much less overwhelming since we aren't from the area. Lauren and team set up a meeting prior to starting the house search to ask all sorts of insightful questions about you and your family to figure out what kind of home, property, or neighborhood might suit you best, and promptly starts sending daily listing updates that fall within the search parameters you've decided on. It was so much fun waking up every day to see the new results! Since we are moving from another state we were only able to set up 3 days of in-person house hunting, but any time we found something on the market we really liked the idea of Lauren would go view it herself and send us detailed videos like our own private tour. On the days that we were there in person, her team set up amazing tour schedules to maximize our time and see as many homes as possible, we had SO much fun checking out all the houses on our list with her. Knowing what we were looking for, Lauren had our best interests at heart and, even when we were starting to feel lost in our search, she did not let us compromise on the things she knew we really felt strongly about! She was there with us every step of the way to give us a reality check anytime we started straying from our must-have lists or pining over homes that absolutely weren't going to work, grieving with us when we found what we thought was our perfect home and weren't able to get a competitive enough offer in, and celebrate with us when we finally found our home. We cannot imagine (and seriously don't want to) having done this without Lauren and her kickass team of real estate baddies. Thank you SO SO much Team Goche!!!

The best decision we made during our search for our very first home was deciding to work with Think. Lauren and her team offer a wealth of knowledge on the Portland market and offered us sanity, invaluable point of view and support from start to finish (and beyond!). It was so critical to have someone that could see things we were not able to - could help us realize the future obstacles we'd have with any said property. Most importantly, Lauren kept our spirits up over our long search and told us time and time again that she was unwilling to let us settle. Lauren also graciously shared recommendations for various vendors as we prepared our new home for move-in, be it someone to clean, paint or fix a few cabinets. 10/10 recommend Lauren Goché and her incredible team!

With all the new rules and regulations around home-buying, it can be a complicated and confusing process—but not if you work with Lauren’s team. They guide you every step of the way, with clear instructions, helpful resources, and delightful messages that make it feel like you have a best friend walking you through every step. They helped us work through some complicated requests, and resolve all the questions that came up. If you want a team to support you as you buy your new home, Team Goché will bring you deep expertise, professional guidance and warmth and humor that make the process seem easy, simple and fun. You’ll definitely enjoy the home buying journey!

Maria, Lauren, and Sarah were absolutely fantastic through my entire buying process as a single, first-time home owner. They answered every question I had with precision, and provided a detailed explanation of each step of the process—sent to my inbox regularly for easy reference. It was even written with style and humor, as if you could ask for anything more!

Maria, in particular, was a joy to tour with and discuss the pros and cons of homes I was debating, gave excellent advice on how to structure the best offer in this highly competitive market, and went above and beyond to help schedule inspections and specialist estimates to reference for negotiations.

My second offer written was accepted, and it was the most perfect home for me. I honestly can’t imagine a better experience or a better realtor to make this journey with, and will absolutely pick them again if I ever am in need of a realtor team in the future.

Y’all are the absolute best!!!

My wife and I are both neurodivergent, and I literally cried after our first meeting with Lauren—just from the sheer relief of finding someone who communicated in a way that made sense to our brains. Her system of reminders and her clear, direct communication style made everything feel simple and manageable.

I already knew from a friend’s experience that Lauren was amazing to work with. Years after helping him buy a home, he still relied on her for advice and trusted referrals for home repairs and services. Because of that, I’d been following her on social media for years, and when it came time to sell our Portland home, I was genuinely excited to reach out.

We live in LA and thought we’d need to travel back for repairs and prep—but Lauren and her team took care of everything. They knew all the right people, handled the bids and scheduling, and made the entire process seamless.

I had seen how quickly her clients' homes tend to sell, and ours was no exception. Now that it’s all over, I’m honestly a little sad—because working with Lauren was such a joy. She’s one of those rare people who makes something stressful feel easy, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

What can I say about Lauren ands her team other than they are absolutely amazing, caring, brilliant humans, and I have been waking up with so much love and gratitude for them in my heart over the past month in my new, first house. All my adult life I had dreaded looking for, and buying a house. Just the thought caused hyperventilation. But, I work from home, and, mom (late 70s and lives with me) and I are getting older and I needed a comfortable place for us to age in place. I could no longer avoid what I had been dreading. I went to Lauren with a lot of doubt and apprehension and walked away from my first meeting with her and her team, feeling a burden lifted from my shoulders. I felt seen, I felt she got me, she inspired confidence, and most importantly, mom liked her. We both felt we could trust her to have our best interest at heart and she and her entire team did. They made the entire process so smooth that I still can’t believe it is done. All the team members are super responsive and I wonder sometimes if they are mind readers, because just as I would be thinking something, bam, they would share the info that put my brain and heart at ease. Seriously though, fantastic humans to work with, as are the people they contract with throughout the process. If you ever felt nervous about home buying, go to Lauren and her team and you will be grateful you did.

If you’re using anyone else to help you buy/sell your home, honestly, what are you doing? Lauren and Daisy are not only wholesome, great human beings, but also incredible at their jobs. My partner and I are fresh out of graduate school, work in the public sector, and genuinely NEVER thought we would have the option to own. These two helped make that possible. As a first time homebuyer, I thought this process was going to be excruciating. Not only was it easy, it was also, dare I say, FUN. Crazy, I know. From the get-go Lauren and Daisy were 100% genuine and made it clear they are in this industry to help find people homes that are right for them. They are responsive, hardworking, and I trusted them throughout the entire process. These folks are the real deal. Many, many thanks to them. 😊❤️

They are kind, kick ass, and there to support you through the whole home buying process.

Lauren and her team haves now helped me both buy and sell. Both experiences were excellent.
For buying, Lauren showed me properties that fit my needs while also counseling me against other properties that would not be worth the time to investigate. When we put an offer down, she got us in at a great price and navigated a tricky seller for us.
For selling, she knew what we needed to fix up and what to leave as is. The staging and listing were perfectly timed and amazing. Interest in our property was immediate and we hit our goal thanks to her and her team’s hard work.
I cannot recommend Lauren Goché enough.

Working with Lauren and her team to sell our house was amazing! From the very beginning she took as much off our plate as we would let them, which for us was everything but packing. They weren't pushy about it, just truly there to make it as easy on us as possible. Lauren's team fixed everything that needed it, painted, washed windows, staged, and managed it all. They have great communication negotiation skills. We understood what and why everything happened, we were given information and then whatever decision we made was honored.

Lauren & her team were INCREDIBLE. Stop looking & call them right now!

We are (were!) first-time home buyers planning a cross-country move to Portland to be closer to family, and we are so lucky to have found Lauren. We knew within about 5 minutes of talking to her & her ‘second-in-command’ partner, Daisy, that they were the agents for us.

We wanted agents that would be real with us, not sugarcoat anything, and help us make the choices that were in our best interest. We got all of that & so much more! Our first weekend of house hunting, it became clear that we had chosen a couple not-so-great houses to look at, and it was abundantly clear that they were not impressed & steered us towards a few better places. They took into account what we needed in a house, where we wanted to be, and found us some gems to look at.

When it came time to put in offers, Lauren was savvy & knew exactly how we should approach the offer, guiding us every step of the way thru negotiations with the seller’s realtor, getting us to a comfortable landing despite some hardball tactics from the other side. We are so lucky to have found an AMAZING home & know we never would have trusted ourselves to take a huge leap of faith on an older house without Lauren & Daisy’s stamp of approval. An added bonus: when we closed, Daisy sent us a list of neighborhood eats, drinks, and activities to help us get settled.

Bottom line: if you’re looking for realtors who will act in your best interest, tell you when a house is a pig with lipstick on, and BE REAL every step of the way, look no further.

Thank you Lauren & Daisy!!!!!!

Lauren and her entire team (especially Daisy) are amazing. Selling (or buying) a home is major stressor with lots of complicated aspects. Lauren and her team manage to be experts at every aspect from preparing your house for sale to the emotional aspects of such an important transaction to the negotiations with a buyer/seller. Best decision we made was to have Lauren handle it all for us.

We were referred to Lauren and her team by a friend who recently bought a house and also by our lender when we were having a rough time with two previous buyer's agents. We are SO grateful to have found Team Goché! The difference between how she handled the viewings and put in offers compared to our previous agents was night and day. She was incredibly thorough and communicative, both with us and the seller's agent.
Before Lauren, we had put offers on four different houses, all of which were rejected, even though our offer price was always the asking amount or more. With Lauren, our second offer on a dream house was accepted. This showed us how important it is for a buyer's agent to communicate effectively with the seller's agent. Lauren and Daisy showed up to all the house viewings on time and offered valuable insights. They kept us in the loop throughout the entire process, from getting our offer accepted to negotiating with the seller and managing multiple inspections.
We love Team Goché and will be recommending them to any friend or family member looking to buy or sell a house. Thank you so much for helping us buy our first home!

Lauren is the absolute best! Whenever one of my friends even mentions that they're thinking about buying, I immediately say, "Um you should work with Lauren she is INCREDIBLE!" and then send them her website lol. If you want to work with someone who has the warmest heart, who is extremely knowledgable, skilled, funny, and honest, Lauren is the one you want in your corner!

Lauren is the absolute best. Not only did she sell our home in 2021, but she has cultivated a long lasting relationship with all of her clients. Where once she was my neighbor, now she is my friend and will absolutely be helping me sell and buy when and if I’m ready for a new home. She is my go to person as a referral to all friends even thinking about moving, and I’m addicted to her social media where I’m able to track home prices and beautiful and trendy home styles. I seriously can’t say enough about how much she helps her community on the daily.

This woman is AMAZING.
Dedicated, passionate about helping people, unabashedly herself, and a love bully (iykyk).
She will steer you in all the right directions, tell you when you’re wrong, provide all the advice, and do it with such energy.
The wealth of knowledge she has obtained over years is priceless. I am so lucky to have been able to work with her. Later, when we bought across the country in another state she pointed us in the right direction still.
She loves Portland, she’s loves her community, she loves her people fiercely, and she will fight for you.

Lauren Goché and team are everything you want in a Real Estate team. We listed our house with them and the attention and final sale was better than our wildest hope!! If you are looking for seasoned RE professionals, that gives you straight forward answers, constructive criticism, work from current marketing facts and not just their gut, AND support the community, look no further. Lauren and Daisy not only will get you the very best offer your house can receive when listed, they will do it with kindness, humor and intention.

One piece of advice - follow through on their suggestions, it made our property so much more valuable and appealing to ready buyers.

Team Goché is flat out, without a doubt, amazing. We first reached out to Lauren on the recommendation of a friend who was her previous client. Suffice to say, we were not disappointed at all. We were looking for a new house with enough room for our ever growing family while also trying to sell our old house. Team Goché was able to do both! Maria and Lauren were always in constant communication with us, keeping us updated with everything that was happening, and even playing therapist when our seller started playing silly games. Even when we were at the point of throwing in the towel (both buying and selling), they came up with the perfect plan to help us get into our forever home...and it happened! Lauren and her team are passionate, caring, thoughtful, basically everything you could ask for and more in a realtor. There was never a time when we felt they weren't going to bat for us, fighting for us, or going the extra mile to make sure we could have our dream. Our only regret is that we won't be able to work with them again because we never plan on moving.

A friend of mine recommended Lauren to me when I was searching for a realtor. We contacted her soon after we realized we wanted to purchase a particular home and she met with us right away. We made an offer and low and behold it was accepted within 24 hours. Lauren works with a team of professionals, lovely Daisy being her right hand lady, so everything is done quickly and efficiently.

Our home was sold within 5 days after listing, sold over the asking price, in a challenging market in a suboptimal time of year.

If you're on the fence of who to choose for a realtor you probably should go with the best. Like my friend said to me, "Lauren's a magician."

Lauren and her team recently represented me in the sale of my Portland home, and I can’t possibly write a review that will convey just how grateful I am for having their guidance and expertise throughout the process. Professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful, thorough, and most importantly, REAL. Real women who truly care about the REAL lives they serve and impact. Lauren was always sensitive to my needs, went above and beyond to ensure disruptions to my schedule were minimized, truly recognized and tapped into my home's potential to make it absolutely STUNNING, and was extremely proactive in taking steps to manage potential risk and streamline my process. I can honestly say that had it not been for Lauren's patience, persistence, and diligence, my sale could have had a very different outcome. I highly recommend her and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Portland metro. Thank you, Lauren, for being exceptional, pouring your heart & soul into helping me make the most of a tough situation, and getting me exactly where I wanted to go.

Lauren and Maria are absolute rockstars 🤘 My wife and I are first time homebuyers and we came into the process with a million questions and doubts. But, they were able to guide us through each step with a ton of patience and honesty. Lauren is extremely candid and always willing to tell you NO, and point out all the red flags and minute details while touring so many homes. She doesn't sugarcoat anything for you. As first time homebuyers, I can't emphasize enough how invaluable this approach was to looking for the right home – it was the yin to our yang.

We just closed on our home this week with the help of Lauren and Maria, and are absolutely thrilled! It's a tough time to buy property in Portland, but Team Goché has got your back. I'd recommend Lauren to every friend, relative, and neighbor that's looking to buy or sell their next house here.

Just leaving a review now, weeks after closing on our house. We were too busy celebrating how quick and easy Lauren made the entire sale process! Her team knew exactly how to sell the best attributes of our home, and they were great at recommending affordable upgrades to parts of the house that needed attention prior to listing. I've never worked with a better realtor. My only regret is that we moved out of Oregon, so we unfortunately don't get to use her as our realtor for the next house we buy in Massachusetts.

From start to finish Lauren and her team were easy and fun to work with, both professional and authentic. Lauren is a straight shooter, and that is a lot of why we connected from day one. She is also a great listener and really takes into account how we loved our home, and all the work we put into it, as well as what we wanted out of the sale. Lauren is well connected and works hard to get your house seen on multiple platforms. We were selling at what could have been a tough time of year, got strong offers in 3 days. Lauren, Daisy & Team made us feel well cared for all along the way. Don't even get me started on the amazing STAGING!!! They really know how to play to the audience of the right Buyer for the Market and home. Every person on her Team that I met or connected with also made me feel confident we were working with the right Team. I've put my house on the market before with a different Realtor (as well as a house in Hillsboro) and both time the experience with other Realtors was disappointing. Our experience with Lauren Goche and Team was the absolute opposite.......Lauren, we can't thank you enough! Thank you for making our experience of selling our home and moving onto our next home such a pleasant and low stress experience!

Lauren and Daisy were outstanding in their work to sell our home. The house received 3 offers after 3 days, and we accepted an offer surprisingly higher than the asking price. Hooray!
Going in, we warned Lauren and Daisy that we were "sticklers". Having had a terrible experience 4 years earlier with an inept and dishonest agent, we wanted to ensure that they understood we paid attention to detail, and had high expectations of them.
They kept us well informed all along the process, and kept smiling throughout as they rolled with the punches. Kudos to them for their communication, resilience and naivety in taking us on.
Their keen sense of the market transformed our house to a home that would appeal to their clientele. They helped us keep our expenses down. And, they were fun to work with! Plus, Daisy might be a long lost fourth cousin once removed.
Highly recommended!

Lauren and Maria were fantastic...we were able to meet with them on relatively short notice, and once they got a feel for what we were looking for, they were able to give us advice on exactly why or why not we would love the houses on our list before we even looked at them. It saved us a TON of time, and let us hone in on what was the most important to us. They were in frequent communication with us via text the whole week that we were house hunting, as well as through the inspection and escrow process. I also love that they donate part of their commission, and that supporting secure housing for everyone is so important to them.

I was recommended to Lauren by a friend when I asked if they knew any real estate professionals who shared my sensibilities. They were spot on! Lauren and her team have been thorough, consistent, and detail oriented through the buying process. They even send informational emails to guide you through the process, which is great if you are anxious like I am.

When I approached Lauren I was overwhelmed and needing guidance to get to the stage of looking at houses. Thanks to her help I was able to ask the right people the right questions, get my paperwork in order, and start looking within 1 month. She has high standards and is up front about her professional opinion; you will not waste time visiting dozens of listings that are not a good fit.

I have worked with many realtors, and the exquisite special attention and support and knowledge that Lauren and her team offer is rare and so helpful. I would strongly advise anyone to work with Lauren et al. Lauren gave me honest advice about the homes I was looking at, and took every precaution that the home I found would be right for me. I am elderly living with MS and she knew what that meant, and leveled with me while supporting my choices at every turn. She also really knows the market, finding a good investment, and what to expect from homes you look at over time.

If you are looking for a realtor that is educated (not only about real state), honest, direct, funny, trustworthy, caring, and with good style.. she is the one. Lauren loves Portland, cares for her community and city and, therefore, is an expert about it. She will advocate for you as much as she does for the things she loves.

All that, and she's just about the coolest person you've ever met! She's very frank and straight forward - she's not going to tell you what you want to hear, but she will be absolutely honest with you and SHE WILL BE RIGHT EVERY TIME!!

Lauren is a true Portland agent. By that I mean in addition to some deep local expertise about the neighborhoods, community, and housing market- She's an original.

I have a real estate background and knew of Lauren in the industry. When my partner and I decided we wanted to enter the FRENZIED Portland housing market I reached out to Lauren and was relieved to find she had bandwidth to work with us.

If you are looking for a real estate agent that is honest, direct, and goes hard for you throughout the process- Lauren is for you. If you want a real estate agent who won't let you settle and will tell you keep looking instead of writing an offer on a place that kind of sucks because you're tired- Lauren is for you. If you want a real estate agent that will encourage you, strategize with you, and go super hard for you when you find THE ONE and you want to win? Lauren. Lauren. Lauren.

I will also add that she is funny, energetic, and extremely well connected in the community. That means socially, contractors, experts, neighbors... Lauren knows.

As a final anecdote- I thought Lauren did a great job on helping us find and get this house we now love. But Lauren also negotiated that the sellers buy us a home warranty. While I thought that was nice of her- I didn't really think the home warranty would actually pay out if anything happened. I was wrong. When our washing machine broke after 4 months in the house we called the warranty company and they sent someone over. They ended up paying us $1200 to buy a new washer. WHAT?

Thanks Lauren. Thanks for getting us the warranty, for not letting us settle, and for going hard for us when we found the right place!

Lauren is an absolute super star. We’ve now handled three property transactions with her and she’s been a stabilizing force throughout. Oh, and she also works her tail off to make sure that we’ve gotten the most out of each transaction.

Do recommend.

My husband and I recently worked with Lauren to close on a house in Portland. We live out of state and Lauren was able to work within a quick time frame and ensure that we were happy with the neighborhood. She explained the Portland real estate market and what we could expect in our price range. Lauren was able to get out a very competitive offer and the sellers took the house off the market early for us because of it! In addition, Lauren has a wealth of knowledge for all local crafts and trades people you may need to access. I would highly recommend her services. In addition to being great at her job, Lauren cares deeply about social issues and her community so you can feel good about where your money goes.

Lauren is extremely efficient and easy to work with. She helped us to find and place an offer on our condominium with just two days of looking; had an extensive knowledge of different neighborhoods, and efficiently wrote our offer. We enjoyed her great sense of humor and her professional expertise. I would recommend her highly.

We absolutely loved working with Lauren. We worked with her to sell our first place (a little townhouse in far SE Portland) and to buy our second place (a beautiful place with a yard and plenty of space for our kids to grow). I thought for sure it was going to take forever in the current market, but Lauren was with us for every step of the way and was always super upfront and honest with us about the realities of our venture. Fortunately our buying and selling process went pretty smoothly, but oh my god did we need her when our townhouse neighbors had their plumbing explode into our kitchen a few days before we were supposed to close on the sale. She was amazing and helped us navigate everything while also working with the buyers agent so we could continue on with the sale. Also, she's just a badass in general so there's that. 💓💓 Anyway, we've been in our new home for almost weeks now and even though we're not nearly all unpacked, we already feel like we're really home.

I refer to Lauren as my Emotional Support Realtor. A challenging situation led us to sell our home and buy a new one, and Lauren was with us every step of the way - referring us to an amazing team of people that got the house market-ready, helping me coordinate things when it all felt like too much, and generally going above and beyond to make an inevitability stressful experience go as smoothly as possible. Lauren is kind, smart, works quickly and efficiently, thinks deeply about the ethical issues involved in real estate, *and* she has great relationships with other real estate agents. I can't imagine working with anyone else.

I met Lauren at a Timbers game and she has been my realtor ever since. She helped me buy my first condo when I moved to Portland. She just sold that condo and got me my dream house after writing five offers, one of which went into contract that we walked away from, thanks to Lauren's thoroughness and support. All done in the hottest market in the middle of a pandemic. She is inspiring, transparent, extremely knowledgeable, ethical, funny and brilliant.

My husband and I decided to purchase a home in Portland, during COVID, and from another state. Crazy huh!? We had our kids be our eyes and feet, but it was only successful with Lauren’s expert guidance. Her knowledge and passion for the real estate market gave us the confidence to look, know how to evaluate what we were seeing, and applying the right resources toward our purchase. We had our offer accepted on the first property we wanted. Lauren had commitment to our needs, knowledge of the market, kept us informed, recommended other resources (financial to the practical homeowner questions), and shared humor and celebration through our search. Thank you Lauren!

Lauren did an incredible job of helping me find a home in a relatively short period of time. She was able to line up a ton of properties, had great insights , and had great answers to all of my questions. She’s the best!

We've bought and sold houses over the years with various realtors, and I can say that LAUREN IS THE BEST. Hands down. As in, look no further and just hire her. Seriously. She was nothing but honest, hardworking, professional, kind, sincere and trustworthy throughout the entire process of selling our house. She truly went well above and beyond. My only caution is that she sets the bar high. We now live across the country, and were so devastated to work with someone else (who didn't hold a candle to Lauren) to buy our next home. We kept wishing she was here to look out for us, negotiate for us, have our best interests at heart. Because she does ALL of those things. If you are buying or selling in her area, hire her. You will be so very glad you did.

Lauren’s exceptional. She’s a wonderful professional and always willing to go the extra mile. She’s honest and caring in her work but also not afraid to ask the hard questions. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a realtor.

My dear friend was living out of state and needed to sell a home in North Portland in St. John. As an agent it is really tough to find someone who shares the same work ethic and marketing prowess that I take with my own clients. My friend specifically asked me to find him a super smart broker who could help him with an estate sale. Lauren took the time to work with my friend and his house for over a year to get it to the state that it was market ready. And when it was time to list the home no expense was spared to make sure it was marketed to a level that attracted a ton of views and showings. The home sold in multiple offers over a weekend. My friend is so happy that we found Lauren to help him make this transition in his life. Thank you Lauren for being an awesome broker.

I decided to read Lauren's other reviews before posting my own, and I can honestly say "ditto" to everything else her other clients said. I just finished my second home purchase with her and she is truly phenomenal. She is a straight talker (yes, sometimes brutally so), she is compassionate, she makes s**t happen, she is 100% committed to her clients, and she is real. My partner and I could tell that she was on the emotional real estate roller coaster with us, which was reassuring beyond words. We found our dream home and it absolutely would not have happened without her. I really can't thank her enough for all the help and support. I think any Portland home buyer or seller who is lucky enough to work with her will come away feeling like they found the perfect advocate in this crazy market and gained a friend to boot.

I trusted Lauren to help me sell my late father's house in Portland and I cannot rave enough about her tenacity, professionalism, and hustle! It was great experience and she was patient, taking the time to educate me along the way and setting expectations just right. I will work with Lauren again when I buy my next home and will not hesitate to recommend her to any person who wants a trustworthy and honest realtor in Portland.

I connected with Lauren as a result of a recommendation from a close friend, who has experience buying property. I was a brand new buyer. Lauren acted as both realtor and psychologist through the process. I'm so glad I had her by my side through while buying my first place.

Lauren shepherded me through the emotionally tumultuous selling of my house--which would have been hard for me even without a pandemic. Because I was leaving a beloved house/neighborhood, and doing so during first few months of the COVID pandemic, I was ornery at times, and emotionally volatile much of the time. I appreciated Lauren's ability to work with that hot mess through good communication, compassion, and patience. And she was a genius at marketing. I know there was a little luck in the timing, but Lauren also made that luck pay off with hard work and preparation, a stylish eye, and deep knowledge of the Portland real estate market. She was savvy about which repairs and updates were needed, and worked with fantastic people (stager, painter, handyman, yard person). I still can't believe how many offers I got, and the crazy escalation--and Lauren helped me sort through all that quickly, including a great spreadsheet that laid out all the key details. Lauren also really gets working with single parents, and was super about supporting my little family through the transition.

Lauren was a personal recommendation from a group of trusted friends - and she was indeed fantastic to work with! She helped me navigate my first time buying a home - which then turned into my first time buying a home IN A PANDEMIC. And still we made it work! If you are looking for a clear, caring, responsive, thoughtful, but direct, hardworking realtor - Lauren is your person. I'm so glad we ended up working together!

A couple friends bought homes with Lauren and raved about her when I asked for a referral when I was ready to buy my first home. I was impressed by her network of contacts - I wound up using a lending agent she recommended, my home inspection was scheduled the next business day after my offer was accepted and the inspector did a fantastic job, she contacted a roofer for a bid and the work they did is wonderful. It was a relief to be able to worry about the things only I could deal with and leave the rest to Lauren.

I was referred to Lauren through another favorite realtor of mine in Eugene. I am so glad I took her advice because Lauren is clearly one of the best (if not the best) realtors in Portland! The day after meeting with Lauren I found a house that checked all of my boxes. I went to go see it and was blown away. Lauren helped me put an offer in right away and her strategy helped me beat out 5 other offers! Everything was extremely well coordinated, including with the lender, and we were able to close SUPER fast! Definitely give Lauren a call if you are in the market.

I always thought of a realtor as pertaining to a transaction, like "I bought this house and my realtor was _____." But then I met Lauren, and now I think of a realtor as a long-term person in my world who I can go to for anything related to homeownership - buying and selling of course, but also advice, recommendations, and being part of a great network. Buying and owning a home can be stressful, but once Lauren is in your corner, you'll never have to feel like you're on your own! And once you've worked with her, you'll never need to look for another realtor, cause it doesn't get any better!

Listen to Lauren. She cares to get to know her clients so she can truly match them with their perfect home, not just do whatever to make a sale. She is honest and will tell you when something is a bad idea, which I admire and respect. She will also skip down the driveway with you when you get goosebumps approaching a house you just know will be yours, and then she will fight like mad to make sure it becomes yours. She is a beautiful human with a kind and adventurous spirit, so spending hours house hunting felt more like hanging out with a friend than grinding through the process. Even years after buying a house with her - she is responsive to questions and always has great recommendations for how to be a better homeowner. Really, you can't go wrong here.

Let me begin with the fact that I'm absolutely thrilled to call myself a homeowner. And a great amount of the responsibility for that being the case belongs to my real estate agent Lauren Goché. For anyone looking for an house in Portland, she is the person to go to; she is friendly, answered all my questions in a timely manner, and is definitely very knowledgeable about the local real estate market. Any request that I had, she got the job done, and always followed up to ensure I was highly satisfied and all my needs were being addressed.

As a first-time home buyer, I required a lot of extra attention, and needed someone reliable to answer questions and provide recommendations about loans, inspections, offer negotiations, and the closing process. Lauren was instrumental in making this whole process a major success for me. Fair and honest, and always with my best interest at heart. Couldn't recommend her and her team enough to anyone looking to buy a house in Portland, especially if it's your first time and/or you're new to the area.

Lauren is a dream realtor - frank and to the point when needed, knows the market like no one's business, and makes it fun to boot. We were moving to Portland from out of state and she fit us into her busy schedule and showed us 8 houses in crazy efficient one evening. The offer process was smooth as can be, she walked us through the difficult mental processes of buying a home without blinking an eye and we couldn't be happier with our purchase. The fact that she loves what she does colors every interaction brightly. Recommend working with Lauren hands down and without reservation!

Lauren is a gem. I trusted her to sell my baby, the home I'd loved for 12 years, where my kids were born. She did it LIKE A BOSS. In the pre-listing phase, she brought in the landscaper, handyman, stager and cleaners, all top-notch. She has a great eye and knows where to spend your pre-sale dollars... she asked me to do less than other realtors, but sold my house for 17% over asking! Did you catch that? She did want to list lower than others BUT she did such a great job marketing my house, it went HOT, 10 potential buyers fell in love, and with competing offers she got to a price well over what I had imagined possible. Oh, and she did all that during a Portland SNOWPOCALYPSE. Best of all, the process was not only EASY for me, it was FUN. By the time I signed, I had no mixed feelings-I knew my home-baby was going to a good buyer at a great price and I was ready to let it go and focus on my new one. Don't hesitate, Lauren knows what she is doing! Pure magic!

Lauren was our guiding star when we moved to Portland in October of 2016 in search of a home. We had lived in the Midwest most of our lives and were not sure what we were looking for in Portland. Meanwhile, we looked at various houses with her, which was always a fun experience. Lauren has a very engaging personality that just makes you love her and share her excitement. I've never met a realtor quite like her, and would love to clone her! She puts humor and adventure into house searching. She was not at all pushy or judgmental. She let us know when a house was overpriced or had problems, and we never doubted that she was there for us. She patiently allowed us to evolve in our search, even when we were beginning to think we wouldn't figure out that sweet spot we needed in the house/setting/neighborhood/price range formula. When we finally hit the right formula, it all came together and she got us to our house! Thank you, Lauren, for being our stellar realtor!

Selling and buying in this market was something that literally kept me up at night. However, with Lauren as our realtor, the process couldn't have been more smooth. Lauren was recommended to us by not one but 3 good friends who had purchased/sold with her in the past and their recommendations were spot on. It was never easy, and the amount of times we had to push through a holiday weekend or stop on a dime to change plans, you know who was a simple text away? Lauren. Knowledgeable, caring, tenacious and truly flexible, she made one of the most stressful times of our lives (living in a staged house, buying an older fixer home, toddler/full-time working parents) dare I say "fun". I'd recommend her over and over, and actually have. She's an amazing realtor. period.

Can’t say enough good things about Lauren. She helped us find out home when the market was hot and yet made our first time home buying experience really smooth.

She never rushed us, gave us SO many great options, was brutally honest, and knew what we wanted even when we weren’t quite sure.

Lauren also goes above and beyond in every way possible as a realtor and a member of the Portland community!
