Hi! I’m Lauren Kniss, and together with my business partner Michele Lucente, we are your ultimate real estate team serving the Raleigh, North Carolina area and surrounding communities.
Like many of our clients, we relocated to North Carolina from out of state—Michele from New York and me from California. We know firsthand what it’s Like to navigate a major move, learn new areas quickly, and make confident decisions in an unfamiliar market. That experience shaped how we serve our clients today. We’ve made it our mission to become true experts on the Triangle area—from Raleigh and Cary to Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Wake Forest, and beyond—not just in real estate, but in the lifestyle, schools, neighborhoods, and community that make this area so special.
Our out-of-state roots also give us a strong edge when it comes to negotiations, strategy, and staying ahead in a competitive market. We combine sharp business instincts with a calm, thoughtful approach so our clients feel confident and supported every step of the way.
When you work with us, you truly get two agents for the price of one. We collaborate on every transaction, bringing different strengths, perspectives, and attention to detail so nothing gets missed. Our clients benefit from quicker communication, stronger advocacy, and a smoother overall experience.
Beyond real estate, we’re deeply invested in the community and the people we serve. As a homeschooling mom and local business owner, I understand that buying or selling a home isn’t just a transaction—it’s a life transition. We take pride in building real relationships with our clients and helping them find not just a house, but a place that truly feels Like home.
Whether you're relocating, buying your first home, upgrading, downsizing, or selling, our goal is simple: to guide you with honesty, strategy, and care—while making the process as smooth and successful as possible.
