As first-time home buyers, we were prepared for a long, daunting road full of trials and tribulations. We heard so many horror stories given the current market and understood the home buying process to be pretty taxing overall. Lauren (LP) pretty quickly proved all of this to be completely false! Every step of the way she was organized, informative, and supportive. She asked the questions we didn't know to ask and happily/quickly answered all of our newbie questions as well! She's everything a realtor should be and more!
I highly recommend Lauren if you are planning to list your house. She significantly reduced the stress of selling our house and provided expert guidance throughout the entire process. Lauren helped us navigate the process of selling our home while purchasing a new home. This process can be incredibly difficult to time correctly, but with Laurens's help, we easily and successfully completed the process. Specifically, Lauren's expert knowledge of the Charlotte market helped us make an informed decision about the correct price to list our property. Based on her advice, we received multiple offers on the property within the first 48 hours, which helped to drive up the price while getting the house sold in the first weekend that Lauren listed our house. This quick turnaround took a significant amount of stress off of my family. Before closing, Lauren handled all communication with the seller and helped keep the process as streamlined and hands-off as possible for my family, which allowed us to focus our attention on purchasing our new home. We will 100% be reaching out to Lauren in the future to help us with the purchase and sale of our next home.
My wife and I cannot recommend Lauren enough. She was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process of purchasing this home for our expanding family! Purchasing this home was a completely new experience due to Covid-19 and the additional restrictions in place during this time. Despite the circumstances, Lauren was able to help us effectively navigate the market virtually. When we finally reached the point of touring houses in person, she took every precaution to help protect my wife and me (Mask, gloves, hand sanitizer, opening all doors for us, etc.). Lauren has an incredible knowledge of the local market and was able to help us identify locations that would satisfy our main location requirements. These requirements included strong school system ratings, strong appreciation potential, and easy access to local amenities. Based on her recommendations, we were able to significantly narrow our search to a couple of locations, making our search much easier. Once we had locations finalized, Lauren found us multiple houses that matched our exact criteria. While touring these houses, she provided expert insight and was able to bring our attention to specific concerns that she had. This insight provided a very different experience than we have had with agents previously who only wanted to highlight the house's positive aspects. This guidance helped my wife and me to feel confident about the investment that we were making. During the offer stage, she provided strong recommendations about structuring our offer and, ultimately, our counter offer. Based on her recommendations, we saved a significant amount of money and received more money from the seller than we initially expected. Finally, she made the closing and moving process incredibly simple for us. She arranged contractors for everything that we wanted to be repaired before moving in so that the home was completely move-in ready. We cannot recommend Lauren enough. She was the perfect agent for our family, and we are incredibly happy with our home buying experience and our new home!
