LEASING
Rentals are the core of who Lauren is as a Realtor®. During her first year as an agent, Lauren became a top-producer city-wide, rented 25 apartments in 30 days and won SFAA Leasing Agent of the Year - an honor typically given to agents that have been in the business 10+ years. Now as the Head of Leasing at Vanguard Properties as well as the internal referral source, staying at the pulse of the rental market gives her rolodex of Landlords expert representation in leasehold transactions - as well as top market rates - while also allowing her to deeply educate her Landlords and Buyers alike on rentability, passive income threshold and resell-ability of a subject property. Her experience and knowledge of the rental market also comes in particularly handy when Lauren's clients are looking to lease their property, purchase an investment rental property, a primary residence or want to convert a primary residence into an investment property.
​
Specializing in single-family homes, new construction, Victorians and whole building lease-ups, Lauren has mastered listing rentals with her tried and true system that is able to bring the most amount of money to her Landlords while simultaneously attracting and placing quality tenants. Lauren is super passionate about helping her clients maximize their rental income and longevity of their asset(s) and looks forward to helping you do the same!
"Look no further! Let me start with this: I am a stickler for perfection. I am a landlord and Lauren has been leasing apartments for me for several years now. She is reliable, punctual and gets it done. She knows how to match tenants with the perfect apartment listening to their needs carefully along the way. Tenants love her because she shows them exactly what they're looking for. I love working with her for a few reasons: 1) she's really responsive; if she doesn't answer my call, she calls back almost immediately, 2) she doesn't waste tenants' time showing them what they wouldn't want, and 3) she is great to work with, always with a smile. So if you're looking for a leasing agent, take it from me, call Lauren. There's a reason she was the SFAA 2019 Leasing Consultant of the Year!" - Janice M.
"Lauren found us excellent tenants for both of our rental units within 2 days, whereas we had been struggling for months with Craigslist listings. She possesses some amazing magic…as well as being responsive, professional and exceedingly pleasant. We will continue to list our vacant units with her and would recommend her services to fellow property owners." - Diana H.
"We are very grateful for Lauren; she is a top notch leasing agent! Lauren reached out after seeing our listing on Zillow, she came the next day for a property walk through. She was prepared with accurate rental comps, listened to all of our needs, and communicative about the leasing process. Being a SF native, she is very knowledgable about SF real estate, connected to a multitude of service providers, and provided creative solutions to the home's quirky needs. She was prompt to every showing, quick with responses, and troubleshooted any issues. I cant speak highly enough of Lauren and recommend her for any leasing needs." - Melanie L.
What Lauren's Landlords are Saying...
"I just leased my last two vacant units through Lauren. She found great tenants within days of listing the places. I would highly recommend her services, especially now during Covid. She is easy going, professional and gets quick results." - Sam H.
"I used Lauren to rent my single family home in Noe Valley and I am so glad I did! She was a referral from a good friend and I've never had a smoother, more effortless leasing transaction than I had with her. On top of being extremely kind with excellent customer service (replying late at night and on weekends), she got me more rent than I've ever gotten in in only 5 DAYS on market!
If you're a Landlord, hiring Lauren is the best decision you'll ever make.
10/10 experience - 12/10 agent. Don't think twice!" - Landon M.

What the Tenants She Places Are Saying...
"Our family worked with Lauren to rent an apartment in San Francisco, on the tenant side. You won't find a more knowledgeable, responsive, and driven real estate professional, who knows the San Francisco market and is committed to great outcomes. This was our first time seriously looking for a new apartment in about 15 years, and Lauren answered all of our questions and went above-and-beyond to guide us through everything. I have also sold property, in another county, and on the owner side, Lauren's exactly the kind of professional you want at your side. Whatever our future moves are in San Francisco, we are calling Lauren first." - Bianca, P
"Lauren made my home-renting experience truly exceptional. She consistently went the extra mile to help me secure the perfect condo, and her commitment to her clients is truly second to none. Even with 12 other applicants vying for the property, Lauren's proactive mindset and strategic planning ensured that I came out on top. Her connections to other agents in the city helped immensely as well.
Her responsiveness was remarkable—she was always quick to answer my questions, keep me updated, and guide me through the entire process smoothly. Her time management skills were also a major asset, as she stayed ahead of every detail, making sure everything was handled efficiently and without delay.
If you're searching for a realtor who will go to bat for you and make your rental journey as smooth and stress-free as possible, Lauren is the one to choose. I highly recommend her!" -Matt, D.
"Lauren was absolutely phenomenal to work with. I've been renting for years, and hands down, have never had a better experience! She was not only kind and personable, but extremely responsive and helpful with any and all questions. 15/10 recommend working with her! : ) She absolutely rules." - Tatiana, H.
"Lauren is a gem! Definitely one of the best leasing agents we've interacted with! We signed the lease two days after the open house and Lauren made the entire lease signing very transparent and fast and easy. We couldn't be happier about that. She was always available whenever we had questions and was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. We got answers to all our requests within minutes. It was a pleasure to work with Lauren." - Irina S.
"Lauren helped us secure our apartment in SF! She was professional, punctual, and really responsive when we had questions about the apartment and the lease. We toured the apartment on Friday, sent the application on the same day. She was able to approve the application, and have the paperwork ready the next day. We managed to finalize everything Saturday evening! We really enjoyed working with Lauren and we were impressed with Lauren's work ethics and efficiency!" - Lawrence P.
