I'm the trustee for my brother-in-law who owned a house in Colorado Springs that we needed to get sold. The house is more than 100 years old, and he hadn’t lived there for decades. It had been rented out, and there were some issues and work that needed to be done. Lauren was diligent about trying to find the right buyers and market to the right crowd. She knew the market even before she saw the property. She knew the area. She had good contacts. She made an effort to target the right audience and make sure the home was attractive to the type of buyer who would be interested. She started with a certain group before she even made a public listing – people who would either be interested in a fixer-upper or who might raze it and rebuild. She found someone who was interested in buying the house as a fixer-upper, and I felt like she got a really good price for it based on the condition of the home. Lauren was so good about keeping me up to date—even if it was just to tell me she didn’t have anything to report. I was really pleased with the outcome. If I ever had to deal with any other property in Colorado, I would definitely go to Lauren.

Lauren did a outstanding job. She has amazing marketing skills to get buyers in. Our condo sold quickly and over asking. She has great communication skills and guided us from start to finish.

We were moving and knew we’d be in our new location long-term, so we wanted to spend that time as owners instead of renters. We were specifically looking for an assumable loan, and the sellers had listed their loan as assumable — but it turned out it wasn’t. They were actually going into foreclosure and hadn’t disclosed it. Lauren and Jay went through all of that with us. We tried everything to make it work, but the sellers just couldn’t secure the funds. Lauren saw the writing on the wall. She was already three steps ahead and coaching us through the red flags before anything came to light. That made a huge difference. She was able to get the price of the house dropped significantly and have the sellers buy down our rate so it was comparable to what we would’ve had with an assumable mortgage. We ended up getting a great deal. Lauren is a bulldog. She stood in our corner and fought for us the whole time, helping us get the best deal possible. If Lauren wasn’t available, Jay was. They’re an awesome team. If I sent a text, it was answered in less than 30 minutes — even if it was 10 o’clock at night. They were amazing the entire time. I’m really happy with the outcome. We got a great deal, we’re in a great neighborhood, and we got exactly what we were looking for. Real estate can go a lot of different ways — some people are soft and fluffy, and some people are straight to the point. That’s Lauren: “These are the facts, this is what we’re working with.” My husband and I both jibed with that. I would recommend Lauren and Jay to anyone.
