ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Lauren Boutin has been a truly positive experience. She is approachable, kind, and genuinely personableaEUR"the type of professional who makes you feel comfortable from the very first conversation. Her knowledge of the market is evident, and she communicates clearly and consistently throughout the entire process. One of the things I appreciate most is her willingness to listen, even when the conversation isnt directly about selling a house. She makes herself available, responds quickly to emails and texts, and is thoughtful enough to communicate if shes unable to reply right away. That level of respect and professionalism is rare and truly sets her apart. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who is not only skilled and knowledgeable, but also compassionate, attentive, and genuinely invested in her clients.

ZillowVERIFIEDLauren helped us buy our home in December, and I truly dont have enough great things to say about her. If youre looking for someone to take care of you like a friend or family member would, you wont go wrong with Lauren. First Impressions & Integrity To start our home-buying process, my husband and I interviewed three lenders and three realtors. Lauren was the first realtor we met, and she immediately stuck out. She impressed us with her humility, approachability, and transparency. She didnt brag or try to "sell" herself; it was clear she simply loves what she does. We chose her because we knew her expertise and energy would give us the best experience. I called her on a Friday around lunchtime to give her the news. While we planned to sign papers the following Monday, I mentioned a house that had just been posted that morning. Lauren immediately cleared her schedule to handle the paperwork so we could see the house that same afternoon! Expert Guidance & Advocacy That first house ended up being "the one." Lauren was very clear that it was never her intention to sell the first house we saw, but she gave us her honest thoughtsaEUR"both good and bad. She pointed out things that needed fixing based on her experience with older homes. Even though our budget was modest, she was wonderful at protecting and honoring our goals. She was never pushy and remained intentional about getting to know our values. The Power of Her Network Even though we found our home quickly, Laurens network proved invaluable: The Sellers: She personally knew the listing agent, making communication incredibly timely. She even got the seller to remove snow from the driveway and walkways for our final walkthrough! The Lender: She had a great relationship with our lender. The night we put in the offer, they were already texting to stay on the same page. It felt like two friends were in a group chat with me, working tirelessly to help me get a home. Contractors: Lauren provided a list of reliable vendors that weve used with great success: Inspector: Garth was thorough, organized, and easy to work with. His report allowed Lauren to negotiate a brand-new stove from the sellers. Air Duct Cleaning: They did a wonderful job, were highly responsive, and sent before-and-after photos. Electrician: He provided a valuable consultation before we even signed on with him. Communication & Design Savvy Laurens communication is prompt and clear. If she cant respond immediately, she always gives a timeframe for when she will. She breaks down complex legal terminology so you never feel uncertain or embarrassed to ask for clarity. Additionally, Lauren has a background in interior design and construction. I soaked in every tip she shared; her advice has been so helpful as we design our space and handle small fixes. Summary Lauren advocates and fights for you to get the best deal. She takes wonderful care of her clients, and I highly recommend her to anyone. We will definitely use her again in the future. Thanks, Lauren, for everything! Its been a little over two months, and we love our home even more now.

ZillowVERIFIEDWords cannot fully express our gratitude for Lauren! We were in a very difficult situation, and she came in with excitement and enthusiasm, expertise and professionalism, and sold our house aEUR" which had been on the market for multiple months aEUR" in less than one week! Lauren was both positive and honest about our homes prospects and value, maintaining realistic expectations and positioning us for success. Her recommendations for improvements were based on her own experiences and resulted in nearly an immediate return on investment. As evidenced by her support for our family, Lauren cares about her clients more than the money she receives from the sale of their home. Thank you!

ZillowVERIFIEDIt is hard to describe just how hard Lauren Boutin worked to sell our house! No problem intimidated her. The listing looked great on the internet, she knew how to handle delicate situations, and was kind to everyone in the process. The house sold quickly, and the folks who bought it will fit into the neighborhood nicely. We couldnt be happier! Shes the realtor you are looking for. Really.

ZillowVERIFIEDLauren was an absolute dream to work with! She really made sure that we understood the selling process and gave us advice on things we could do around our house to make it even more attractive to buyers. When our listing photos were taken, she was there making sure everything was perfect and even brought decorative items to help stage our home perfectly! She was readily available to answer our questions whether it be through text, call, email, or in-person and would get back to us immediately! If it wasnt for Lauren, we wouldnt have gotten the return we did with the sale of our home! I would highly recommend Lauren as your go-to realtor!

ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Lauren was an absolute pleasure! She always gave her honest, professional opinion of the properties we toured and was ready to help us tour any home with an amazing turnaround speed. Having a realtor you can trust and is very responsive is so important in this market, and she proved to be both and more! We are moving back to Rochester so know the area a bit, but because we aren't currently there we needed to tour virtually. Lauren was able to work with us remotely and help us through every step of the process. I cannot speak highly enough of how we valued her responsiveness, candor, and guidance to us as first-time homebuyers.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe cannot recommend Lauren Boutin highly enough. Lauren and her team made our experience as first-time home buyers (who are relocating from outside MN) as seamless and positive as we could hope for.

Lauren is the easiest person to work with, easy to get ahold of, pays attention to every detail, fun, great with our kids, gave us great tips on how to sell our house fast and get the most out of it, always one step ahead, staged our house beautifully, and truly had our best interest in mind. Our house had an offer within the first few hours of it hitting the market! We cannot say we had one moment of stress while working with Lauren because she took care of EVERYTHING! My husband and I will continue to sing her praises every chance we get!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were very hesitant to list with a realtor and wanted to sell our home ourselves. A member of Laurens team, Rachel reached out to us and offered to give us information and would be happy to help us through the process of selling our home. After meeting with Lauren and her team we were quickly put at ease feeling like we were old friends and we didnt feel like aEURoea client.aEUR? Lauren came prepared with an assessment of our home and comps in the area, asking us what our goals and future plans are. They didnt pressure us to sign with their company and told us they were there to give us information which again put us at ease. 24 hours later we decided to list with them because of the connection they were able to make combined with her experience and preparedness. We felt like we found the perfect team and due to the pressure we received from the builder to sell our home within 30 days Lauren wanted to get the house ready to be shown immediately. From the professional pictures and staging of our home it was a smooth process and we were able to have our home ready for showing in less then two days. After only two open houses and several private showings within four days we were under contract and sold our home for 10k above asking. All of this wouldnt have been possible if it werent for Lauren and her team and we are eternally grateful to them and hope they continue with great success.

There was absolutely no pressure starting out and she was extremely knowledgeable on the housing market. Throughout the selling process, she gave us great advice on how to prepare for listing and had a well thought out plan for the sale price. We sold our home in about a day and had multiple offers! Lauren was also amazing to have around during the buying process. She was alwaysy available to answer texts or calls with questions and got us in to see houses right away. She has such an eye for detail and made sure we were well informed on the house before we made any moves. Lauren really listens and pays attention to what you think is important in your new home. We also appreciate how sweet she was with our kiddos, and how she was always a step ahead of us making sure everything runs smoothly! We cannot say enough good things, and will definitely be using her again for any future ventures!

ZillowVERIFIEDThis is a shout out to my realtor Lauren Boutin. Thank you for all your help in the process of finding and buying my home. It had been sometime since I bought a home and things have changed as far As the loan application process. I called Lauren many times and needed help with the computer paperwork and she was most helpful. A few times I needed to leave her a message and her reply came back almost immediately. If you are looking for a realtor in the Rochester or south eastern Minnesota area give Lauren a call I am sure you will be very pleased with her service.

ZillowVERIFIEDLauren was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was referred to my significant other and I by a realtor from a different area. She is very personable, organized, hardworking, thorough and easy to get into contact with. She was amazing to work with, especially as a first time home buyer. She was always a delight when looking at homes, no matter the distance between them. We search about a 30-mile radius around Rochester. She was always very knowledgeable about the homes she showed us and if there was questions she couldnt answer, she always found the answers to them in a timely fashion. She worked around our schedules and made it seem as if we were her only clients at the time. She found homes that fit us and what we were looking for. When we did find the home to put an offer on, she made sure our needs were met and fought for our best interests. She always was making sure we were heading into the right direction. She was consistently checking in with us and our lender, making sure everything was moving along smoothly and ensuring that we would close on time. Lauren was a blast to work with and get to know. We would definitely recommend her to anyone coming into the area to buy a home. We look forward to working with her in the future!

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I were first time buyers and a friend of ours who is a realtor in a different market recommended we get in touch with Lauren. This was the best decision of our home buying process. Lauren is the best realtor a buyer can work with. She goes to bat and fights to get the buyers needs met every time. She is straightforward with what she thinks will work or wont work for you based on her experience, and will make suggestions based on your needs as a buyer. She is organized, easy to contact, and always reminding you of what needs to be done or checking that we received the form that was sent over. She worked well with our lender, and helped keep everything moving on time, even when we requested our closing date be moved up. Working with Lauren is the best decision a buyer can make if you want top-notch individualized service. Even though we knew that she was working with other buyers and sellers as well, we never felt like our needs werent met, or that we had to adjust our schedule based on her availability. She was always responsive, suggested meeting times and phone calls based on when we were available, and was quick to move when she knew timing was key to getting what we needed in our home buying process. We cant speak highly enough about Lauren and will definitely be recommending her to all our friends looking for realtors in the Rochester and Southern Minnesota areas.

ZillowVERIFIEDI've actually worked with 3 other Realtors over the last 7yrs for various homes I've sold/purchased and Lauren was BY FAR the best of them! From the moment I met her at a showing, I knew I wanted to work with her. She was always available to me and communicated regularly. She always made me feel like I was a priority. I will not hesitate to refer her to anyone I know who's looking to buy or sell, and I will absolutely seek her out if I'm ever in the market again! Her expertise and professionalism rivals that of realtors who have been doing this for 30+ years. Do yourself a favor and look her up if you're in the market. You'll be glad you did!
