What Lauren's Clients say....
Below
you can
hear from
some of
the many
home
buyers and
sellers
I've had
the
privilege
and
pleasure
of working
with.
Eunice and Walt Spiller
"Thank you very much for all your help in selling my condo. I think it was a bit more of a challenge than either of us anticipated, but your expertise and energy and commitment to the sale made it happen! I never could have done it on my own." --- Pat Lilley
"We are very thankful for "your" abilities in selling our property in Aptos. "Your" professionalism helped us to relax and know we were in good hands. "Your" sincere and caring attitude made a very difficult task for us seem bearable. You are an excellent realtor and a true friend at counseling us with every step along the way. Our deepest appreciation for a job well done. --- Ann Foss, Howard & Karen Allen.
 "We've known Lauren since 2000 when we were in the market for our first home. She came highly recommended by a friend or ours, and I know why. She made sure that we were comfortable with all the terminology and the ins and outs of first time home buying. Now it's 2003 and we needed a bigger house. Interest rates are down, and our desire for more space was nagging at us to go shopping. Lauren took care of all the little things that go into buying and selling a home. She totally cares about your needs and is an excellent agent. We are so glad she took care of our purchase, and our sale." --- Cat & Rene Thrasher  "Thank
you so very much
for the
excellent
guidance and
unwavering
commitment
during the sale
of our house.
We appreciated
your friendly
and caring attitude while
still managing
all the
intricate
details of the
sale and meeting
our desired
sales price. It
has been a
pleasure to know
you and we
highly recommend
your services to
anybody in need
of an excellent
realtor."

Warmly, Margit
and Stephan Thaler "We wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of your guidance and support in selling our house in Scotts Valley. Not only were you always professional and on top of the details, but you were so committed and accessible (even on your vacation!) and cared about what we were experiencing. We felt that you had become our friend and were confident that you were representing us well through negotiations – trying as they were sometimes. We also appreciated your patience and flexibility in working through our translations. You were very helpful, going above and beyond the normal scope of services in many instances. We truly feel fortunate to have worked with you. --- Hiromi and Uichi Nishimura & Yoshiko Nishimura  "On
behalf of our
entire family,
we would like to
thank you for
working above
and beyond your
normal working
hours to ensure
that our real
estate
investment would
take place.
We can’t thank
you enough for
your
professionalism
and for being a
team-player
during this
entire process.
We recognize
that you were
not only our
real estate
professional for
the Aptos
property, but
you also acted
as an advisor to
our real
estate
associate during
our property
exchange.
We are looking
forward to
sharing many
memories in our
new home by the
ocean."

Greg & Gina Van
Ness & Lorraine
Solari "We truly enjoyed our home buying experience with Lauren! She is a very professional realtor in her knowledge and | |
"We
found Lauren by researching MLS and comparing how agents
presented their listings. Lauren's listings were by far the
most outstanding ones we found which included high-quality
professional photographs and nicely-worded descriptions.
Once we met Lauren and saw the care she puts into her
advertising and marketing, we knew she was the right agent
for us. In a highly-competitive buyer's market, we ended up
with two offers and one over asking price, and we were only
on the market for 45 days. We will be recommending Lauren to
anyone we know in need of an excellent real estate
professional." ---
"We
were very satisfied with Lauren's professionalism exercised
in selling our Scotts Valley home in a timely manner. Our
home was sold on the second day on the market for full price
with no contingencies during a challenging real estate
market. This allowed us to go on a two week vacation while
Lauren was negotiating the terms and conditions of our Viki
Court real estate. We would recommend Lauren to anyone who
needs a top notch realtor.” ---Chris
& John Rybij
"I
found Lauren Spencer through her website while
looking for real estate agents in the Santa Cruz area. After
a quick meeting with her, I didn’t even bother to interview
any other real estate agents. She made the process of
selling my home and buying a new one as easy and painless as
possible. It took only a week to find a buyer despite the
market not being all that hot. If I wind up moving again,
I’d definitely call Lauren." ---
Don Moulds
"We
found our way to real estate agent Lauren Spencer through
her web site. We wanted to start looking for a second home
in Santa Cruz County, and after searching the web, Lauren’s
complete and up-to-date site attracted us to her. Every step
of the way, Lauren’s efforts on our behalf were exemplary.
From the initial search to finally receiving the keys,
Lauren’s work was excellent. We highly recommend her to
you. Looking for property in Santa Cruz County? Call Lauren
Spencer."--- Marty Kahn & Cheryl
Guyer
“Through
Lauren’s services, we purchased two residences, in
"It
was such a pleasure working with you on the recent sale of
our home in Scotts Valley. From the time we met through
completion of the sale, you handled every aspect of the
transaction with the
highest degree of professionalism. The
attention you gave to the sale of our house was outstanding.
I truly appreciated, too, the numerous times you took my
calls and answered my questions, always with patience and
understanding. Matt and I thank you so much for your
encouragement and your many efforts on our behalf."
--- Alice & Matt Miller
“Lauren Spencer did an excellent job as our realtor in the
sale of our home in the Santa Cruz Mountains. She made a very
professional and informative presentation and committed herself to
meeting our goals. She was always available and responded to our needs
in a thorough and timely fashion. She also attended to details above
and beyond our expectations. Our house sold within two months of going
on the market for a price that pleased us. Lauren played a significant
role in that success.” --- Elizabeth & Greg Smith
"Thanks
so much for helping us sell our house! It was wonderful to work with
you! From your first thorough presentation and complete market analysis
to the neat package of closing paperwork, every aspect of your work for
us exceeded our expectations. Even better, we liked working with you!
You checked in with us frequently, encouraged us with your enthusiasm
and coached us to make our house as attractive to buyers as possible.
We’d hire you again anytime!"
--- Deb and Dick Steinkamp
"I
wanted to take this opportunity to thank you so much for
your service and help in our purchase of the condo in Santa Cruz. My
wife went online and found your advertisement while doing a general
search of Santa Cruz real estate. Before we knew it, we had purchased
the condo of our dreams. We got to spend our first full weekend there
just last week and could not be happier. The location, the people and
the condo itself are everything we were looking for, and everything that
you represented to us. It really is the age of the internet!"
---
Steve & Donna Reeder 
"We
want to express to your our sincerest gratitude for your assistance with
finding the perfect home for our
family. You are truly a Real Estate Extraordinaire. One never quite
knows what they are getting when shopping for a realtor online, but
after meeting you in person we knew we were in good hands. The
entire way, you kept us on track and reminded us of the things we said
were most important for us to have in our new home. In doing so, you
helped us avoid making a huge mistake by putting an offer on the wrong
house just because we were in a hurry. We are now happy to call you a
friend & realtor."--- Liam, Pamela & Lucy
"I
want to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent
work you did in helping us purchase the property in Aptos. You
simplified what could have been a difficult process since we do not live
in the area. Your
guidance in a very challenging market was excellent.
We especially appreciate the help and work done after the close of
escrow. Your many contacts in the area and the respect those people have
for you made the post-sale activities (cleaning, pest-control, handyman,
contractors, etc.) much easier. I would certainly recommend you to
anyone thinking of buying or selling property." ---
Don & Suzanne
Gladstone
"It was a pleasure working with you as you
are always very patient, respectful, and knowledgeable. You were
constantly available and in contact with us during the search,
negotiation, and escrow process. Your integrity and experience made
buying in this difficult sellers market an easier process"---
Elise and Lyndon Low
"Words
can’t express how much we appreciated your guidance and assistance
during the very emotional sale of the family home. You
were compassionate but straight forward. You were especially
instrumental in helping to negotiate the difficult “generational”
territory between my mother, a recent widow, who had 40 years invested
in the house, and myself, her daughter who wanted to respect my mother’s
wishes but also wanted my mother to get a good price with the least
possible stress. And yet it all
worked out with your patience and hard work. We thank you for your 120%
effort and for always looking after our best interest!"---
June & Susan Kimoto
"Thank
you very much for all the help and support that you provided to us
during our efforts to locate a new home. You were extraordinarily
patient and helpful through the long process of searching. You were
supportive to us and understanding of our concerns when we needed
guidance, and you provided leadership and expert knowledge of the area.
Lisa and I would be pleased to recommend you professionally and
personally to anyone who needs an expert real estate broker in Santa
Cruz County." ---
Lisa
& Mark Logsdon
"We knew that selling
our ranch of seventeen years was going to be a very emotional
experience for us. Finding the right realtor was very important.
We interviewed several prominent realtors in the area and after
meeting with you, we knew that we would be in good hands. Your
professionalism, knowledge and understanding made this a very
positive experience. Due to your great pricing instincts and
marketing strategies,
the sale happened faster than we ever thought possible. Thank you
again for making this easy for us." ---
Paul and Jill Scheffel
"I
have known you for a number of years which is why I consulted
you upon deciding to sell my home. Your approach to my needs
has been outstanding. You produced a very effective sales
program and I was very pleased and completely satisfied. Your
advice regarding preparing the house for sale was very helpful
and a made the house attractive to potential buyers. Because of
your thoroughness and attention to details the requirements of both
the buyer and seller were met completely. I highly recommend you
to any buyer or seller." --- Buck Engle
"This is the second
house you’ve sold for me. You have made the process as easy and as
painless as possible, handling it with your usual grace and style and
professionalism.. Along the way, we’ve become more than business
acquaintances. I’ve learned that many of the same qualities that make
you a good realtor – honesty, consideration, thoughtfulness,
and concern – make you an
excellent person to have as a friend. 
"Lauren was very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods
and properties in the area and helped us decide where we wanted to look
for homes. We quickly found a great house close to the beach in a
wonderful neighborhood of Aptos. Lauren’s professionalism and
dedication made it easy to work with her, and her local contacts
helped smooth the process. We were very impressed with her
expertise, experience, and professionalism, and we will not hesitate
to recommend her to any friends looking for homes in the Santa Cruz
area." --- Gary & Cathy Walz
"We wanted
to take this opportunity to thank you so much for helping us in the sale
of our home in Corralitos. Everything went so smoothly. We know that had
a lot to do with your expertise - your knowledge of the market,
experience with all aspects of home sales, prompt professional
responses, rapport with others of the real estate community, and the
general integrity that goes along with everything you do. We appreciate
the scope of services you were able to provide - recommendations on key
things to focus on, your attention to detail, and following up with us
on anything that seemed unfamiliar or unsure. You truly are a gem in the
industry. We were so fortunate to have you as our agent. " ---
Joe
& Lori Sisson
"I
have appreciated and enjoyed working alongside Lauren, who has
been our real estate agent and broker concerning purchase or sales, on
more than one occasion. Lauren is a very capable person and does an
excellent job. Her qualifications and skills are exceptional. Her
method of operation and management is a quiet efficiency. Her character
is exceedingly commendable. She maintains a gentle, patient, and
harmonizing spirit while she works at a high level of professionalism.
In critical situations, I have found her to be trustworthy and honest.
She is insightful, offers helpful suggestion, and her attitude is always
willing and constructive. Also I am impressed with the fact that when
she handles a transaction, there is no messes left behind, any
disgruntled parties that have to be satisfied, and the job is
“finished”. --- Jack
E. Hinds
"We cannot thank you enough for your professional assistance in selling
our home. It especially helped to meet with you months before we put our
home on the market. As a result, the house sold above the asking
price and we had three firm offers from which to choose. It was such a
relief to feel we could trust you to listen to us, be available, follow
through and take care of the many details. We have never had such
a good experience with a realtor. Your excellent reputation is
well warranted." --- Morgan &
Elizabeth Van Dyke
'Thank you so much for our seamless
transition from our old home and into our new one. We truly appreciate
your responsiveness to our concerns. You have a tremendous knack for
understanding really what we wanted in our property and only selecting
properties that meet our criteria; unlike so many other Realtors that
bombard us with listings that we knew would not work out. This was our
second experience working with you and you have shined on each
occasion. We will definitely recommend you to anyone in need of a real
estate agent." --- Tom and Pam Schwartz
