My Santa Cruz Real Estate - Lauren Spencer, REALTOR® Rancho Del Mar, Aptos

Lauren Spencer is an outstanding realtor. She did a fantastic job of selling our Rio Del Mar home. The list of skills she has would be a long list. She listens well, has creative ideas, is prompt with communication. Our home needed to be made more presentable. Lauren has a long list of very professional contacts that did a wonderful job. We used gardeners, plumbers, painters, stagers, cleaners and a handy man. The home looked wonderful. Lauren also knows very well all the intricacies of the paperwork required for a house sale. She always knew what and when a signature was needed. We were able to get almost 50% over our asking price. I would wholeheartedly suggest Lauren Spencer to provide for your real estate needs.

My family and I recently had the pleasure of not only selling our home but buying a new home with Lauren. All within about 2 months. The Santa Cruz County housing market is incredibly competitive and having an experienced and knowledgeable realtor like Lauren was invaluable. Lauren is absolutely top notch. Thank you so much Lauren! Holland, Kim, Mason, Makenna and Nala

Lauren recently helped us sell our home of 24 years. Because we were staying in the neighborhood and wanted to attract a "local" buyer and not simply hit the top of the market, we spent a 6-month partnership with her. Lauren was a pleasure every step of the way -- always professional, always responsive, with a huge Rolodex of the best contractors. Her marketing of our home was superb. She found us wonderful buyers who were highly-qualified and brought us in at the top of the market. We cannot recommend her more highly.

We had such a positive experience with Lauren from purchasing a home when she was the seller's realtor, so when we decided to sell, we knew immediately who we would contact to represent us! Her expertise is obvious, she knew exactly what was needed to spruce up the property, and gave us several selling price options she believed would be attractive to buyers. We greatly appreciated her confidence that our house would sell despite a slight slowdown in the market, and she was right! Our experience with her as our realtor was the best we've ever had, and we have bought and sold home for decades in California. Thank you, Lauren!

We had a quick and successful house search with Lauren's help. She was flexible to adapt to our schedule, very responsive and efficient in scheduling showings even on short notice. We very much appreciated her real estate advice and the knowledge of the local market. We closed smoothly and one week ahead of schedule with her help. Once we closed, we relied on her referrals for local services and all of them worked out very well. Thank you, Lauren!

Thank you Lauren, for your calm, professional, honest expertise through the sale of a unique property. It sure wasn’t easy, especially as the pandemic hit & we could’ve so easily lost the sale. Huge accolades to Lauren, as she helped everyone jump through multiple unforeseeable hoops, making it work for all of us. Both we, the sellers, as well as the buyers are truly grateful for her knowledge & problem-solving skills. Honestly, I don’t think it would’ve happened without her. All through the process, despite the bumps in the road, we had such trust in Lauren, plus her calm reassurance was invaluable. She was always available to us & so easy & comfortable to work with. She is a true professional, as well as a kind and thoughtful person. Finally, this property had a lot of history and emotional significance for us. We feel so good about the young couple who purchased it, knowing that the land will be put to good use. Lauren was sensitive to everyone involved & we're so glad she was a part of this process.

We just utilized Lauren's services to sell my parents Estate home and we were amazed at her knowledge, expertise, patience, creativity and absolute commitment to the task at hand. Being nearly 1,000 miles away, we were nervous this would be difficult but nothing could be further from the truth and Lauren handled everything even tasks well beyond her responsibility. If you need the absolute best agent, Call Lauren immediately and I assure you, you will not regret that decision!

Lauren was incredibly helpful in helping us buy a house - she helped us find the right area, narrow down properties, and get the right offer accepted! We just closed, and couldn't be happier. Lauren is really responsive, very patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. Can't recommend her more!

Lauren is awesome. She approaches her work with calmness, thoughtfulness, and a ton of experience. She is very knowledgable and guided my partner and I through the convoluted and occasionally stressful process of buying our first home. We could not be happier with how it all turned out and would absolutely recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a realtor in the Santa Cruz area. Thank you, Lauren!

Lauren Spencer is an industry professional! Her knowledge of the Santa Cruz area is amazing, and her website was very easy to use-- there's lots of community info and the listings are updated all the time. I would recommend Lauren to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home in the SC area.
