My Santa Cruz Real Estate - Lauren Spencer, REALTOR - Aptos, California

Kirsti

Lauren Spencer and her team were wonderful to work with when selling our house. From the first meeting, we were impressed with Lauren's knowledge, expertise, and communication skills. She made sure our home was readied for sale, coordinating all the repairs, upgrades, and inspections to ensure that the everything went without a hitch. Her team staged the house, took beautiful photos and videos, and made a stunning website. Lauren worked closely with us to determine how to make the house look its very best in order to get the most from the sale. She has broad experience in the Santa Cruz area, is very efficient, and gave us tons of personal support during the entire process. Her professionalism and genuine care made what could have been a stressful experience instead be seamless from start to finish. Our house sold in one week and for over asking price—you can't do better than that! I highly recommend Lauren for anyone looking for an exceptional real estate agent who will get you results.

For Rita T: Lauren is an absolute expert in her field! She took the time to guide and support me through an extended season of preparation with grace and patience before the house went on the market and knew all the right people to do the projects to get the house ready. Her communication skills are wonderful and the way she conducts herself in the complicated and emotional process of selling real estate is admirable. I highly recommend Lauren!

I highly recommend Lauren!! I inherited a house that needed a lot of work and she knew all the right people to call. Since I don't live in the area Lauren really acted more like a project manager than realtor. All the people she put me in touch with to work on the house were all professional and did great work. She respected the budget I had to do the renovations and all her suggestions for improvements were spot on. Her experience and wisdom really helped make this experience a great one. I truly couldn't have done it without her!!

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.

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!

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.

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!
