If buying or selling an home has the potential to raise some anxiety for you (and who does not feel this?) Lauren is your agent. She is a non-anxious presence. Fully professional, smart, and gives superior guidance. She saved us from making several mistakes out of our ignorance of the process. She saved us substantial money in doing superb negotiation with the seller. She will start out your agent, and become your friend. That is simply her nature!!!

Lauren does a great job of finding homes that are just what I am looking for. She?s very responsive, quick to answer any questions I may have, and makes the process easy to understand and is always very patient, which is very much appreciated. With all the worries that come from buying your first home, Lauren is there to make sure no details are missed and everything is as it should be - she is diligent with her work. Thanks, Lauren!

Working with Lauren, and the entire Works team, was an absolute joy. This is the second home we have purchased with the team and I wont even consider working with another realtor. Lauren provided exemplary customer service while setting realistic expectations. I honestly dont know why people say buying a house is stressful - the only thing I am stressed about is packing my fragiles.

Lauren rocks. She not only knew exactly what we were looking for, she went above and beyond to go to bat for us at every step of the way. She hand held us through the process and really worked to get us in a beautiful home within the budget we had to work with. She made the whole experience seamless and genuinely enjoyable. 10/10, would recommend.

My husband and I have tried to buy houses a few times and our financials are simply too awkward to justify buying a house at the moment. But Lauren has set us up with half a dozen mortgage people including a couple quite talented and creative people who have tried their best. Though we ended up renting again, it was not due to any failure of Lauren. Even though I know shes busy, she treats me like Im her only client. She is responsive, attentive, and is ready to do whatever needs to be done to get to the long term goal. She knows a lot of people who are creative with their approaches which makes sense because she wants to find the best solution to any issue. She is realistic about what is needed for getting a house, what is involved in getting a house, and all of the nitty gritty things. The point isnt necessarily to get you into a house as soon as possible as much as it is to find something sustainable for the timeline you want to build your life around. She also cares about your dreams for your house and keeps them in mind when looking at houses. She is able to stay grounded about any longterm goals youve mentioned and is constantly working to find something that will not only fit your needs, but your ideal life. I have confidence that any house buying endeavor I venture into with her is going to be something solid that will last. She thinks about the long term, the short term, and today. Planning for something to be sustainable is extremely important to me. Im not worried about the future when I am working with her because I know her best is the best and shes always working to set the bar higher. As someone who struggles with anxiety and the tendency to want to plan decades into the future, having practical solutions, down to earth explanations, and unfettered honesty is extremely valuble to me. She has a clinical eye for inconsistencies and how different moving parts fit together. Her practicality and creativity regarding her craft make her exceptionally special. When we have our finances in order, I know Ill be reaching out to her again.

What can I say about Lauren? Shes a buying agents dream! In April 2023, my fiance and I were looking for our first home in Portland. We found a few houses we were interested in online and connected with Lauren to show them. Lauren immediately got to work both understanding our needs and communicating the (hidden) pros and cons of each property. When we found the one and were ready to make an offer - Lauren went above and beyond to coordinate getting an inspection and estimates from multiple contractors. She then worked with us (from across the country no less!) to take all of those estimates and our needs to negotiate a final price that exceeded our expectations. Even after closing she has continued to kept in close contact to make sure were getting all the continued help we need -- from insurance to second estimates from contractors. In short, we feel very lucky to have found Lauren and are so grateful for all the efforts she has put in to help us buy our first home. Thank you Lauren!!!

Lauren is an absolute rockstar Realtor. She truly had my best interests in mind throughout the home buying process. I am a first time home buyer. She took educating me and being a true unbiased partner very seriously. She stayed cool, calm, and collected when needed and knew when to hit the accelerator as well. She was super driven to find and collect information needed to best inform my purchase. She also proved to be a stellar negotiator. She has made this process so enjoyable and seamless. She truly empowered me too reach my goal of home ownership. I felt as if I was in the drivers seat throughout the process and Lauren was my seat belt and self driving tesla. I can?t recommend her more highly!!
