Testimonials

Lauren was so knowledgeable, professional and patient the entire process. As a first time homeowner, I was very nervous about it but she made sure I understood the steps of the process, made sure that she answered all my questions even I asked the same thing 3 times and she made me feel heard. She took into consideration my wants and needs in a home and assured me not to settle until I found the right one. She was EXTREMELY responsive making me feel like I was her only client. I am amazed at how many deals she had going on at the same time I was working with her. When the Right Home came up I was able to not only see the home within 24 hours but put in an offer which was accepted. Even after closing I still keep in contact with Lauren as she is such a valuable resource and she is still so responsive and helpful!

– Autumn Green

Was referred to Lauren by a close friend that said she was wonderful person to work with. At that time my family and I had grown out of our previous home and were interested in reviewing the possibility of buying a newer/bigger home. After a few conversation and meeting Lauren in person, we were curtain she could help us and we even hired her to sell our current home. The whole process went unbelievably smooth (for us) meanwhile Lauren was showing us up to 10 houses a day at times and holding open houses every Sunday on our previous home !! Her and the team at pike creek mortgage worked vigorously until settlement day to get my family the best possible deal !! In the end, she sold our old house for our asking price and found us and UNBELIEVABLE deal on a brand new dream home with every ‘must have’ that my wife and I wanted. She even scheduled the settlement dates accordingly, so that we could move rite in from one house to the other. I also want to mention that Lauren has contacted us a few times in the months after our purchase, just to make sure we are settling in ok and even offered her assistance if needed…this tells that her main concern wasn’t to just make a buck, but to actually bring true happiness to our family!

– Bart Baylson

Having Lauren on our team made our recent real estate experience a joy! Our first dozen buys/sells have been fraught with varying degrees of manipulation, but our 13th deal was our lucky number because of finding Lauren. She genuinely got to know us, understood what we wanted, and even supported us in walking away from an unfavorable negotiation. Lauren was always upbeat but calm; on top of the details, even while away on a much-deserved vacation; and patiently available, opening up properties for showing or inspections multiple times. Since home buying or selling is one of the most significant and emotional deals of one’s life, it surely eliminated the stress to have Lauren working with us. She made the process surprisingly fun, and when escrow closed, we actually missed our daily contact with such an enthusiastic, competent, and caring person. When the time comes to sell our current home, Lauren will definitely be our listing agent!

– Anna Wales

Good luck find long a better agent than Lauren. Being a first time home buyer, I really had no idea what to expect. She made the whole process so easy, took care of damn near everything but signing my name. Very professional and courteous. Anytime I had a question or thought, she responded immediately, even on her vacation! Lauren never stopped trying to find me exactly what I was looking for and made sure I settled for nothing less. Without her help and guidance, I don’t know if finding a perfect first home would have been possible. Any discouragement I had was was wiped away with one phrase.. “When you walk though a house, you’ll get a feeling, you’ll know it’s what you want”. We kept looking until that happened. Without a doubt, I would recommend Lauren as a realtor. Again, couldn’t have imagined having a better experience find my first home.

– Joseph Butts

Lauren was the 2nd realtor I worked with; the 1st seemed rather disinterested and would simply unlock houses and walk me around.
Working with Lauren was like night and day. She educated me about important things like the age and condition of the roof, hot water heater, and A/C system and was incredibly responsive. When I was ready to make my first offer and my mortgage officer was full of excuses and delays, Lauren referred me to another mortgage officer who got the job done. A few months later, and I’m sitting on the couch in my dream house and none of it would’ve been possible without Lauren.
Lauren is knowledgeable, dependable and very pleasant to be around. She will certainly be my realtor on the next house!!

– Devon Yourgulez

We will be recommending Lauren to everyone in the Wilmington/Newark area. She constantly went above and beyond realtor responsibilities and was always available. My husband was already in Delaware, but I was still in Indiana. Lauren assisted us as we navigated the house buying process while completing an out of state relocation. We fortunately were approved for a unique subsidy program for the location of our property. Initially, we missed approval by a few credit score points and Lauren coached us through how to communicate with credit bureaus in effort to increase our score. We were so lucky to have a realtor with such energy and determination to get us a great deal! Lauren is simply the best! Do your self a favor and make the decision to work with her. You’ll be very happy!

– Shannan Stryjewski

We highly recommend Lauren. We worked with Lauren on the sale of our home and the purchase of a new home. Lauren was always very responsive and extremely patient as we searched for our “forever home”. Not only do we recommend Lauren, we consider her a friend that we can always go to for real estate advice!

– Karen Goff

Lauren was great. She was very pro-active and was able to find me an awesome house pretty quickly. Very informative and knowledgeable. She was made the house looking process fun and always there to answer my questions. I will always refer my friends and family to her.

– Michael Ferrarra

There is no one more hard working, thorough, and tenacious than Lauren. She went above and beyond to find us the perfect home and worked painstakingly to resolve all issues in the purchase of our home. I know for a fact she works around the clock to make her clients happy and she will do everything possible to ensure a smooth transaction. Not only that but she also helped us find an investment property that will turn a profit. 11/10, would recommend. I can’t imagine anyone could possibly be better.
