Lauren was born and raised in western New York, but a series of moves took her family from New York to Florida before they landed in Michigan. Along the way she sold three homes "for sale by owner" and discovered her true calling: she has a genuine knack for selling real estate and easily relates to buyers and sellers based on her personal experience. For five years she sold real estate in Michigan, digging in and cutting her teeth in a market hard-hit by the Recession, where unemployment reached 20% and 70% of home sales were foreclosures or short sales. She worked hard, learned a lot, and became one of the top-selling agents in her office. In 2009 she moved to Kirkland and immediately joined the best real estate team she could find: Coldwell Banker Bain in Bellevue. Now, in addition to having earned her managing broker's license, she is an accredited home stager and works with a team to help her clients prep their homes, inside and out, to appeal to today's buyers. She is a Previews Property Specialist, proficient in marketing luxury properties. She is also a Senior Real Estate Specialist, specifically attuned to meet the needs of buyers and sellers age 50+. And as a certified new home specialist, she successfully works with developers, builders, and new home buyers to achieve their real estate goals. In 2015, she was honored to appear on an episode of HGTV's long-running program, "House Hunters," helping a family of five to find their perfect Eastside home. And in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 she was presented with the prestigious Five Star Professional Award and the Coldwell Banker International President's Elite Award, earned by the top 2% of top sales professionals in the Coldwell Banker International Network. Clients say she is an excellent communicator, honest, hard-working, and attentive to details. She looks forward to working with clients, their family, and their friends, for years to come.
