    “We are so happy we chose to sell our home with Lauren last summer. We followed her advice to stage our home, which included decluttering, painting the inside of our home and sprucing up our yard. Lauren also recommended that we price attractively. In doing so, we reached more potential buyers and received multiple offers to chose from. In the end, we sold our home at a price significantly over our asking price. Lauren worked hard to protect us during the transaction and kept us afloat on the entire process, so we always knew what to expect. We couldn’t be happier with Lauren and the service she delivered. We loved working with her and we know you will, too!”

She made the experience so easy, helped us through all of the details and made sure we knew what was happening at each stage so there were no surprises. Lauren knows the Los Angeles real estate market very well and would be an asset to anyone who is looking to purchase a new home or sell their house. She is amazing!!”

Need 5 different inspectors and an appraisal by tomorrow? Say no more. If you are buying in today's competitive market, you need Lauren Murdock on your side. Give her a call, she's awesome.”
