Ten years ago, I joined Compass with a goal of building a business rooted in relationships, trust, and helping people navigate some of life’s biggest decisions.

Today, as I celebrate my 10-year anniversary at Compass, I’m incredibly honored to share that The Modern Solutions Team has been recognized by RealTrends as the #1 Mid-Size Team by Sales Volume and included among the Top 1.5% of Real Estate Professionals in the United States.

While awards and rankings are meaningful, what matters most to me is the people behind them.

To my clients: thank you for trusting me with your homes, your investments, your referrals, and your families. Whether you bought your first apartment, sold a longtime home, upgraded, downsized, or simply sought advice, I am grateful to have been part of your journey.

To my teammates: thank you for your dedication, professionalism, collaboration, and friendship. This recognition is a reflection of the incredible work we do together every day.

To my colleagues, partners, and everyone who has supported me over the past decade: thank you for your guidance, encouragement, and trust. Real estate is a relationship business, and I am fortunate to work alongside so many talented people.

I never take any of it for granted.

Here’s to the clients who became friends, the lessons learned along the way, and the next chapter ahead.

With gratitude,

Lauren ❤️

Congratulations to this wonderful couple on their first home purchase! This bright, beautifully designed apartment came together through close collaboration with the developer on the kitchen and bathroom layouts and finishes, creating a space that’s both functional and timeless.

Grateful to have been part of the journey — from design decisions to closing day.

Thinking about making a move in 2026? Let’s chat!
2026 looks to be shaping up as a better year for real estate. We expect inventory to increase, home prices to rise at a lower rate than income, and mortgage rates to come down a bit.

Let’s chat and see how I can help you.

Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate. May your week be filled with family, light, and not too many socks as presents. (One night this week Nathan got socks).
