About Lauren

Though her real estate career officially began in 2021, her passion for home transformations took root in 2016 while renovating her first property with her husband, Travis. A Texas native and graduate of Texas A&M, she spent over a decade as a graphic designer and calligrapher before making the leap to Seattle in 2017. Today, she channels her creative eye and love for breathing new life into homes to guide clients through every step of buying and selling.

Get to Know Me

My career in real estate officially began in 2021, but the passion really sparked in 2016 when my husband, Travis, and I remodeled our first home. Breathing new life into older homes gives me great joy, and our remodeling experiences brought me to this industry, which I love. I bring this passion to my clients as I guide them through the buying and selling process. Whether it's offering a listening ear, alleviating stress, educating new homebuyers, or celebrating with high-fives and hugs when we find the perfect place, it's an honor to be part of each client’s journey.
 
A Texas native and lifelong art enthusiast, I graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in International Studies of Arts & Culture and Communication. Before diving into real estate, I ran a graphic design and calligraphy business for over ten years, teaching calligraphy classes across the country and online. In 2017, Travis and I had the opportunity to move to Seattle and we said "yes(!)" to this great Pacific Northwest adventure.
 
In my free time, I embrace all that Seattle has to offer, from spending time on the water to discovering new restaurants or wineries. I live in Madrona, a neighborhood so dear to me, with my two rescue dogs, Gertrude and Millicent - the loves of my life. I'm a proud volunteer for Seattle Humane and have a big heart for rescue animals. You'll often find me indulging in Bravo shows, spending time in our veggie garden, consuming all things Beyoncé, or eagerly counting down the days until Christmas (which is usually too many!).
