We were involved in a 1031 exchange for the first time. This is stressful time as the clock is ticking from the moment the 1031 exchange begins. As the days passed without finding our perfect property we began to stress. Lauren kept us focused and calm through this time. Her professionalism and knowledge of the markets kept everything going forward and ended in a successful outcome with time to spare. We couldn’t recommend her more highly and she will have our highest recommendation when the opportunity presents itself.
Wanted to thank Lauren once again. Real estate could a very daunting area for first time buyers. Lauren helped us a lot with buying the process by being very open, responsive and knowledgeable. She was fiercely protecting our interests as her clients. Would highly recommend her.

We loved working with Lauren; she turns a nerve-wracking and oftentimes stressful situation into one that feels secure and humorous. She’s well-versed in the East Bay market, so if you need a savvy sherpa to guide you through the treacherous real estate environs, she’s a great bet!

Having bought and sold several homes in the past few years, we approached the sale of our Walnut Creek condo knowing exactly what we wanted in an agent to best represent us. The market was beginning to show some fluctuation so it was crucial to have the perfect combination of savvy and experience in our choice! We met Lauren at a nearby open house….she was the agent for 2 neighboring sales! After doing the research, we decided that our neighbors made an excellent selection, so we followed suit. Absolutely no doubt that our decision was perfect! Lauren was totally professional, honest, out-spoken in the best of ways. She knew this challenging market and directed us appropriately. Her knowledge, guidance, and representation of our best interests was impeccable. We were anxious to have a quick sale as we were leaving the state, and she understood and accommodated to our needs. Our entire experience with Lauren was straight forward, professional, easy-going, and extremely rewarding! We highly recommend her as an East Bay expert who employs local knowledge with updated media exposure and a neighborly touch. You won’t be disappointed when the SOLD sign shows her talents and your good fortune in selecting her!

Lauren helped us buy our very first house in US. Understanding how ‘things’ work and realizing what needs to be done was a major challenge for us! Lauren guided us throughout the entire journey and made it very pleasurable and stress free. We felt that we know what is going on, why and what is the next step. We needed reassurance while knowing we are in control and got it. I would wholeheartedly recommend Lauren to anyone buying or selling a house as she is a true expert!

Lauren made selling my home comfortable. She guided me through the process, and told me at the outset that I should consider her my concierge. I did, and it was pretty much stress-free. She is very nice, easy-going and positive. She is organized and on top of her game. I’d recommend her definitely.

Working with Lauren on selling our property was a genuine pleasure. Her expertise in the real estate world helped make for for a very fast and relatively easy selling experience. We very much appreciated her promptness in answering our many questions, along with her easygoing nature and patience. The painters, carpet cleaners, and house cleaners she recommended were all top-notch and is evidence of the care she takes with her clients. She helped organize what we needed to do each step of the way and she did a beautiful job staging the home, both physically and virtually. When the time came to show the home at the open house, the results were impressive. Perhaps most importantly, Lauren made clear what decisions were the most important to make and which ones we shouldn’t dwell on. Finally as we were relocating out of state, Lauren took the time and interest to provide us with guidance and contacts in the new area which was above and beyond. We would definitely recommend Lauren for anyone wishing to sell their home in the East Bay.

Lauren works extremely hard for her clients! She is professional, timely and accurate. Being first time homebuyers, she made sure we understood every step of the process as we searched for the perfect home. During escrow when we uncovered problems with the home, Lauren negotiated and fought for us to get the best possible deal. She knocked it out of the park for a huge win. I would recommend her 100% .

Home Buyer in Moraga, CA.
Lauren is a great real estate agent. I met her 18 months ago and was just in the “thinking of moving” stage. I asked her for her information and said I would contact her when I was ready to start my search. Lauren added me to her newsletter but did not contact me. When I was actually ready to find my “forever” home I reached out to her. My experience with Lauren was awesome. She really listened to what I wanted and delivered the perfect property. I appreciated her attention to the details of the home purchase. I also had Lauren sell my home. She excelled in coordinating the staging of my home. Lauren has wonderful resources for getting your home ready—the painting, cleaning and staging of your home. Normally this could be quite stressful but Lauren made it all tolerable and stress free.

After renting for a couple of years, I decided to buy a property again. Lauren was very patient and understanding. She showed me several properties in Walnut Creek, Concord, Pleasant Hill And Martinez before starting to zero down in Walnut Creek. She went to bat for me once we picked a property and they were some Plumbing issues with it. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied and I would recommend her to others.

I HIGHLY recommend Lauren Fahrer if you want to get your home sold as quickly and painlessly as possible. Lauren was wonderful working with my mother to help her get her home ready to sell this spring… even to the point of meeting with painters/electricians/contractors etc for several weeks when my mom had to be out of town. She was completely hands-on and also worked on the house herself to prepare it for the market. Once offers came in (the first week!) she guided my mother and helped her select the best one and then made the escrow process as painless and quick as possible. Lauren is a fantastic realtor and person… look no farther if you want to make this stressful/emotional process of selling your house go as smoothly. Lauren is also loads of fun… we had many laughs along the way! She is top notch!!!

I had been searching for a home for over a year when I came across Lauren. Over the course of that year, I had engaged two separate real estate agents; however, both did little more than send me the latest Redfin listings (which I was already very familiar with), and both relationships ended with me feeling alone and frustrated in the home search process. With hope of finding a home nearing a low point, I ran into Lauren at an open house and we instantly hit it off. We met at her office the next day and she went through each town I was interested in, the desirable neighborhoods in each town, price points, ect. Her level of knowledge was incredibly impressive and she inspired immediate confidence that not only was she an expert, but that she understood what I was looking for and how she was going to help me find the right home. We actually found the right house within a week of starting our search and had an offer accepted just a few days later. I’ve been assured that this was an unnaturally fast turnaround and it typically does take longer; however, the process with Lauren was quick, efficient and very successful. I can’t really say enough good things about Lauren and the job she did for me. She is a tremendous agent, a great person and genuinely interested in helping to get her clients into the home that they are looking for.

As a first home buyer and new resident to SF bay area, Lauren is an exceptional realtor for us. Since we don’t know the bay area so well, she provided us the in-depth knowledge about each neighborhoods we were looking for houses. She was willing to work around with our schedule for home searching. We were having a very long delayed mortgage approval process, but she was very proactive to communicate with our lenders to make sure our mortgage process on the right track and on time. She is really knowledgeable, professional and friendly person to work with. I am highly recommended her to everyone, and we will definitely to use her again for our future home buying.

Bought a Home in San Ramon, CA.
We were highly impressed with Lauren as our agent! She was recommended to us by family members whom she had worked with in the previous year. She guided us through the sale of our home on Starflower drive, making the experience pleasant, and far easier than we anticipated. She gave us great advice on preparing our home for sale, and worked easily within our financial constraints for staging and updating the most important features of the house to give it the best appeal. We had five offers on our home in the first week it was on the market. We are now working with her on the purchase of a new home, and still enjoying the process far more than we would have expected with her awesome and helpful personality. Thank you so much for your help Lauren!

It was a pleasure working with Lauren. She gave us great advice, communicated with us almost daily (we were selling the home of our recently deceased father and none of us lived in the area). She is professional, personable and knowledgeable. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again!!!! She turned what could have been a very stressful situation into one of peace. We all loved her.

Bought a Home in Pleasant Hill, CA.
As first-time buyers we were pretty confused about the process, but Lauren was a wonderful guide! She worked incredibly hard to find us the right home, and navigate us through every bump in the road. We had various challenges to overcome as we weren’t the strongest buyers, and then our financing was denied at the very last minute. Lauren helped us start from scratch with a new lender and she worked tirelessly and effectively to make it happen. She smoothed everything over with the sellers, and quite literally snatched victory from the jaws of defeat! We got our dream home, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Lauren. I highly recommend her!

Lauren was extremely helpful in my recent purchase. Her knowledge of the market and the process gave me the confidence that I was entering into the purchase with all of the knowledge and support that I needed. She responded to every question in a timely manner and helped me find the right home in the right community. I would certainly recommend Lauren to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the East Bay.

Lauren went the extra mile to make sure we got the house we wanted. It wasn’t easy and I was very impressed with her professionalism and ethics. The listing agent was deceptive and uncooperative but Lauren hung in there and made sure to smooth things out. She even paid out of her pocket for an oversight when the listing agent wanted to put in cheaper material for an agreed upon repair! She knows the area and the people to get the job done.
