Coldwell Banker Realty

If I could give Lauren more than 5 stars, I would. She was basically my real estate agent in angel form lol. Before Lauren, my condo had been on the market with another agent for over 100 days with barely any showings and not a single offer. I was beyond stressed and honestly scared I was going to go through the same hopeless process again. Lauren was different from our very first call. She is a go-getter, incredibly experienced, professional, kind, and truly advocates for her clients. The best way I can describe her is a kind angel, organized soccer mom, cool big-boss older sister, and real estate powerhouse all in one. Once she took over, the difference was night and day. She repositioned the listing, coordinated professional cleaning, photography and a floor plan, personally hosted open houses, followed up with buyers and agents, and made sure the home showed at its absolute best. After 100+ days with no offers before her, Lauren got me a solid offer in about a month. She also handled all the difficult behind-the-scenes stuff like outdated HOA documents, termite work and clearance, my pain-in-the-butt HOA lol, condo financing requirements, and a difficult lender on the buyers side. She kept me informed, explained everything clearly, and made me feel protected and advocated for throughout the entire process. I officially closed today, and when I got home Lauren had even surprised me with the most beautiful giant bouquet of flowers. I genuinely wish I had found her six months earlier. As long as I'm in the Bay Area, Lauren is my person for real estate. I will recommend her to everyone. Lauren, THANK YOU genuinely for making such a difficult journey so much easier. You are an absolute superstar.

Lauren is truly a gem. She is not only one of the best in her field, but she is also incredibly patient, compassionate, and genuinely invested in her clients. She takes the time to understand your needs and works tirelessly to help you find the right homeaEUR"not just any home. One of the things I appreciated most was her attention to detail. She pointed out both the pros and cons of every property and noticed things I would have easily overlooked. She helped me think beyond the excitement of a showing and consider the long-term practicality of each home. Buying a home as a single woman in the Bay Area felt nearly impossible. I had started and stopped the process several times over the years and eventually convinced myself that homeownership just wasn't going to happen for me. Lauren never gave up on me, even when I was ready to give up on myself. She encouraged me every step of the way, kept me motivated when things didn't go as planned, and reminded me that the right home was out there. Finding a home that met both my standards and my taste was no easy taskaEUR"I admit I'm picky! But whenever I became discouraged, Lauren would check in, offer reassurance, and help me stay focused. Her positivity, persistence, and unwavering support made all the difference. Thanks to Lauren, I am now a homeowner. I can't recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, honest, dedicated, and truly cares about her clients' success. If you're looking for someone who will advocate for you and make you feel supported throughout the entire process, Lauren is the one.

My wife and I had an awesome experience working with Lauren, and wed recommend her without hesitation. We started our home search at the beginning of June with a pretty aggressive timeline. We were living in San Diego but trying to buy a home in the Bay Area, so we needed someone we could really trust. From the start, Lauren jumped right in. Wed send her a list of homes we were interested in, and shed go tour them almost immediately. The videos she made for us were honestly one of the biggest reasons we felt comfortable buying from a distance. These werent quick walk-throughsaEUR"shed open every cabinet, look under sinks, point out things she liked and things she didnt, knock on walls, check finishes, and basically inspect the house the same way we would have if we were there ourselves. It felt like having another set of eyes that we completely trusted. Communication was also outstanding. We never felt like we were chasing her for updates, and she was always available when we had questions. One thing that really impressed us was how much work she was doing behind the scenes. Every time she called with an update, it seemed like shed already solved whatever issue had come up. Instead of bringing us problems, shed already talked to the lender, the listing agent, or whoever she needed to, figured out the options, and had a recommendation ready. She was constantly three steps ahead, but at the same time, she never made us feel out of the loop. She always explained what was happening, why it mattered, and made sure we understood everything before moving forward. When we flew up to see homes in person, one of the houses she showed us ended up being the house. She negotiated a great closing cost credit for us and explained why that approach made more sense than simply lowering the offer price. Looking back, that advice was spot on. Thanks to her, we closed on our first home in Dublin on July 9th, and we honestly couldnt be happier with the outcome. Its an amazing house, and the whole process went far more smoothly than we expected. Lauren has a great balance of professionalism and grit. She moves fast, stays organized, and gets things done, but shes also approachable and easy to talk to. Buying your first home can be overwhelming, and she somehow made a complicated process feel manageable the whole way through. If youre looking for someone whos proactive, thorough, and genuinely has your back, Lauren is exactly the kind of realtor you want in your corner. We feel really lucky that we found her.

We first met Lauren when we were kicking tires. We didn't have an agent yet, and frankly, we were still figuring out the right fit aEUR" especially after the realty law changes made every other agent pressure us into signing a 3-month exclusive contract before we'd even seen a single house. Lauren did none of that. She let us take our time, answered every question, and simply outworked everyone else we interviewed. That's when we knew. Lauren is ALWAYS there. Every text, every late-night question, every panic moment during what is genuinely one of the most emotional experiences of your life. She even responded to my messages and arranged a house showing while she was on a family vacation halfway around the world. That's not obligation aEUR" that's someone who truly cares. Her knowledge goes far beyond comparable sales and contract terms. More than once, she literally got down and crawled under a house (in stiletto heels!) to walk us through everything we should be looking for. She's not just protecting your interests on paper; she's in the trenches with you. And through ten months of bouncing all over the Bay Area aEUR" from city to city, shifting neighborhoods, second-guessing ourselves aEUR" Lauren never lost patience with us once. She kept us anchored to the criteria that actually mattered to us, gently steering us back whenever we started chasing something shiny that didn't fit. When we thought we'd found "the one" multiple times only to move on, she guided us to stay patient, talked us down from the ledge more times than I can count, and never once pushed us toward a decision that wasn't right for our family. When we finally found our forever home aEUR" with the worst possible timing, right before a trip we couldn't cancel aEUR" Lauren handled everything. She stayed in constant communication with the sellers and their agent, conducted the final walkthrough on our behalf, and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. Lauren is not a transactional agent. She is a trusted partner, an advocate, and someone I will call long after closing aEUR" for advice, for referrals, for anything. If you're navigating the Bay Area market, stop interviewing agents. You've found her.

Lauren goes above and beyond to support her clients. She helped my husband and I search for nearly a year as we figured out what our forever home would like and where it would be. She responds quickly to requests, even staying up late on a Saturday night to ensure we got a counter offer on our dream home. Beyond that, she helped us measure the entire home, take pictures for insurance, and even had her house cleaner clean the house before we moved in. We highly recommend her.
