Realy patient, knew her neighborhoods & buildings
Loved working with her. I was somewhat of a high maintenance client but she never made me feel like I was. I think we looked at all of the 2 bedroom condos in River North and the Gold Coast! She was very patient with me, explained things very thoroughly and we finally found the perfect place! She never rushed me or made me feel like she had an agenda to just make a quick buck - very professional! She made me feel like I knew her forever and I was very comfortable around her.
Really knew what I was looking for
I came across Lauren when viewing one of her listings because the price was right. It didn't end up being what I wanted but she was very proactive and asked what types of condos I was interested in. I was working with another agent at the time, and she didn't know it, and the types of condos that Lauren showed me over the other agent were hands down the better properties. She really seemed to listen to what it was that I wanted and had a knack at finding exactly what it was that I was looking for. I would definitely suggest Lauren to anyone looking to buy a great deal in Chicago right now. She knows where to look and seems to know a lot of the other agents out there and has resources to find deals that others may not know about. Thanks again, Lauren!
Efficient & Timely Short Sale
I listed my investment property with Lauren as a short sale. She is extremely knowledgeable in short sales and therefore was able to set the buyer's expectations correctly. If she didn't inform the buyer's about the process of the short sale, who my lender was that we were negotiating with, then this deal would have never closed because what I've found is that very FEW agents in this city know much about short sales. She was great at keeping me informed on each stage of the short sale as well as the buyers. She single handedly was the reason my condo closed and was a successful short sale. Do NOT have an agent represent you that doesn't know a thing about a short sale or a foreclosure!
Chicago Condo
Lauren was instrumental in finding the perfect property for my needs as a professional needing a downtown residence. She is extremely knowledgeable of the market conditions and was very thorough in looking out for my best interests as a buyer. In addition, Lauren made it easy for me to find the right mortgage partner that understood the downtown market and my situation. She covered me from start to finish! I woud highly recommend her to anyone needing an expert on the ground to guide a purchase.
YOU NEED HER...
Lauren is the only advocate a buyer / seller needs. She was not only attentive to my needs and requests, but also to my surly management company. She has worked 5 deals for me since 2009, and every one has ended successfully. Her relationships with all lenders and banks definitely comes in handy. She has the knowledge of a whole team wrapped into her head. Lauren never has steered me wrong. I cannot say enough how hard she worked on my behalf. If you need a short sale or a regular sale, Lauren is the ONLY agent you need. She is a bulldog that works tirelessly on your behalf. I always felt like she was working at 6am til 10pm. When choosing an agent, I've always made sure to pick one who doesn't see $$ but instead sees a human being. Whether you are selling an investment property or your family's home, Lauren makes you feel comfortable and at home. THANK YOU LAUREN!
Great to work with - able to find really good deal
Lauren came referred to me from one of my friends that recently purchased from her. She helped my friends close on an "in-town" condo which was a short sale and they were impressed with her negotiating skills and ability to find them a really good deal. Since I was considering buying in the same building I figured she'd be great to help me find a really good deal. She was very knowledgeable about all of the buildings in River North and the Gold Coast, and which buildings had the best opportunities. After taking a look at a few I narrowed in on which building I wanted to be in. I ended up bidding on a couple of foreclosures and missed out on them. Throughout the process, Lauren let me know every day when a new condo popped up that I may like and that's the main reason I was able to ultimately end up with the condo I have now. She was always on top of her game with what correct value of a certain condo was, etc. She really helped me negotiate the best deal and I was extremely impressed with her work ethic and keeping me in the loop with everything. I highly recommend to anyone who's looking for a good deal in this market!
So great to work with
Lauren was thorough and professional throughout our entire transaction. She was truly looking out for our best interest, and it was so refreshing to work with a realtor that knew SO much about the market and her neighborhoods. Her in depth knowledge blew me away! She's like a real estate encyclopedia :-) I will definitely use her again!
