We have worked with Lauren on 4 transactions including sell and purchase of our primary residence as well as purchase of rental properties. Lauren has always been outstanding to work with. She is quick to respond, very organised and detailed-oriented and always recommends the best options for lawyers, lenders and inspectors to work with. When we work with Lauren we are surrounded by very knowledgable and experienced team to help us with the sell/purchase. There is no doubt we will call Lauren again when we decide to do another real estate transaction.

Lauren was wonderful to work with making the process of selling our home so much easier than we expected. She provided us with great advice to make our home most attractive to perspective buyers. She was always organized, helpful and kept us on task from the moment she listed our house until the day we closed on the sale. We’d highly recommend Lauren to both sellers and buyers!

Lauren was a pleasure to have as our real estate agent. She is very detail-oriented and was always anticipating our needs and responding promptly to any questions. She helped with everything from getting the house ready for our first open house to successfully managing the inspections and our buyer. She is very friendly and professional and makes you feel like you are her only client. She provided excellent service and ensured that we were able to successfully close on the sale of our house on time and without any issues. We highly recommend Lauren!

We were fortunate enough to have Lauren in our corner when buying our first home.  Full disclosure, she is my mother – but after working with her in a professional capacity it’s clear to me why her clients love her so much.  We felt at ease knowing Lauren had our best interests in mind and she would give us honest, genuine advice.  We were so lucky to have her as an advocate and couldn’t have made it through this process without her sage counsel.  She’s excellent at what she does and I am proud to call her both my mother and real estate agent!

Lauren was absolutely wonderful to work with! She quickly understood our wants for a home and guided us to a perfect area that met our lifestyle, home style, and price range. She urged us to ask questions we wouldn’t have considered and it was evident that she had our best interest at heart. She has a great energy about her that made the home search all the more fun. She was incredibly communicative and thorough throughout the home buying process, and she is continuing to provide personal recommendations to us even after we have closed. We can’t recommend her enough!

Lauren did an amazing job with the sale of my home. She’s very knowledgeable and commercially savvy about the market, stays on top of all the details and kept the process moving along from pre-listing to close. She is incredibly professional, works well with everyone involved in the process, and is very personable and pleasant to work with. An impressive woman, and I hope we have the opportunity to work together again in the future.

I was very concerned about selling my house especially since I was selling in January.  But not only did my house sell in only 5 days, but it sold for more than I was expecting.  Lauren guided me through every step and took away all of the stress.  All I had to do was pack up my stuff.  Lauren was wonderful and I would recommend her to anybody.

Lauren Corkin did an excellent job handling the sale of the house.  Her professionalism and knowledge of the Needham market was indispensable.  Since I do not live in the Needham area, I relied on Lauren to handle everything.  She did – from our first meeting to the closing.  Laruen was key in the successful negotiations with the buyers.  I also appreciate Lauren’s genuine sensitivity to my feelings – it’s bittersweet selling the “family” home you grew up in.

“I had the pleasure of working with Lauren twice. Once as a buyer and then as a seller. I knew the minute I was going to sell my house I called Lauren. She is professional, knowledgeable, extremely hard working, strong communicator and always provided helpful guidance. She was amazing. Read More...

Always one step ahead and incredibly helpful to me in preparing for the sale of my home and all the way through to close. Thanks Lauren!”
~Maria, 2016 Sale

Lauren Corkin is an excellent real estate agent. She arranged multiple homes for us to view. She was kind and patient with us and helped us with every detail from start to finish. Her knowledge of the Needham/Newton area is tremendous and her willingness to share her knowledge was always part of the process. She was available 24/7 and her response time was quick and thorough. Lauren, you really make a difference! Thank you!

We worked with Lauren Corkin in August 2017 to purchase a home in Needham and cannot say enough positive things about the experience. We relocated from out of state with little knowledge of the area and two toddlers, not an easy feat, and Lauren made our move as seamless as possible. Her vast knowledge of the local real estate market, attention to our needs and her professional network helped minimize the stress of relocation. Lauren showed us properties that matched our desires and guided us through every step of the process. We highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a real estate agent.

“We had the pleasure of working with Lauren as we purchased our first home in Arlington, MA.  She was so incredibly helpful, informative and supportive throughout the whole process.  We were able to truly enjoy what could have otherwise been a very stressful time in our lives.  Read More...

In our first meeting with Lauren, she was so enthusiastic and asked us many questions about what we were looking for.  It was clear from the start that her objective was to help us find a home that would be the best possible fit for us.   As we visited homes we were interested in, we could rely on her honest opinion.  Lauren consistently checked in, to make sure that we understood all aspects of the home buying process.  In the end, we are so happy with our new home, and have Lauren to thank for making it such a special time!”

“I want to pass along the positive experience I had while working with Lauren on the sale of my Mother’s home. My Mother has lived in her home for over 20 years so this process was stressful and emotional for her. I wanted to make the process as easy as possible for her so I took the lead. Read More...
From the very beginning, Lauren was a calm presence and made everything simple. She went above and beyond in so many areas (giving me names for everyone I needed to contact and often contacting people herself.) Lauren offered to meet with cleaners, inspectors, electricians and anyone else needed at my Mother’s house to make my life easier. Any question I had, Lauren responded within minutes. She filled me in on every detail of the listing of the house, the offers, and contracts- never did I feel that I wasn’t being represented with the utmost of respect and care. Lauren put us first. She was professional, respectful, and at the end of this 3 month process, I will add friend to the list.

I would recommend Lauren to anyone and everyone I know without hesitation.”

Over the past 4 years, I have had the pleasure to work with Lauren Corkin.  She initially helped me and my family find a rental home when we transferred from North Carolina to Newton, MA.  From that point on, she has been way more than a realtor.  She has patiently worked with me, a single mom of 2 little girls,Read More...

to find an affordable home to buy in Newton, MA.  At times, it felt like an impossible task but she always stayed positive and encouraged me to keep trying.  I started to feel guilty that I was taking up too much of her time for something that would never happen because of the high cost of homes.  She NEVER made me feel like I was a burden.  Instead she became a great friend that was helping me on the most important and difficult purchase of my life.  Lauren said that helping people like me find an affordable home in town was more rewarding to her and she would continue on until I was ready to stop.

After 4 years and multiple rejected offers, I called Lauren up to tell her that I was going to swing by an open house and I would let her know if I wanted to make an offer.  I left the open house loving the home.  I told Lauren, this is the last offer I write in Newton and I am moving on.

Lauren helped me draft a compelling and not very traditional offer.  She presented it to the Sellers realtor and shortly after we found out they selected my offer.

Lauren’s patience, compassion and professionalism, are the reasons I found an affordable home for my family in this amazing town.  I really appreciate how Lauren treated me like my purchase was as important as the $5M sale.  It was probably the hardest commission check she ever worked for but I it meant the world to my family.  She is truly amazing at her job and a wonderful person that I am grateful to call a friend.

“Stacey and I could not be any more satisfied with Lauren Corkin’s performance in connection to selling our house.

From the very start, Lauren took control and was completely on top of every single requirement. She provided excellent advice, was thorough, a great communicator, and championed everything we needed to ready our home for sale.Read More...

Lauren is smart, organized, energetic, and extremely professional. There is not  one single thing we would have changed about the entire process, which speaks volumes. We have worked with several other brokers over the years, and now exclusively with Lauren. She literally makes the others seem like part-timers in comparison.

We give Lauren Corkin “the highest recommendation” to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.  From our experience working with Lauren on three different properties —  you will never regret choosing Lauren Corkin as your trusted representative!”

“We worked with Lauren on both selling our condo and buying a new home. We weren’t sure in the beginning what type of house we needed and Lauren was extremely helpful in guiding us through out the process of narrowing down our selections. She was always available and ready to go and see as much properties as we needed to.Read More...

It was very helpful and fun to hang out with her, visit properties and then have an honest discussion about what we liked and what we didn’t. Lauren is very friendly and understanding and is always looking for our best interest which we greatly appreciate. The buying and the selling went so smooth because she is working with a great team of people – from the lawyer to the mortgage agent. We were so lucky to work with Lauren and we have been recommending her to all our friends. If we need to buy/sell house in the future, Lauren will be the person to call!”

“We were fortunate to be introduced to Lauren through friends when we learned we were moving to Boston. As a relocation specialist, Lauren was just what we needed to make a smooth transition for ourselves and our 2 children.
Lauren first helped us find a rental property and made sure we had an easy adjustment to the area. Read More...

Once we were ready to get into the buyers market, Lauren knew just which properties to send us. She was in constant contact with us, making sure we knew about the new and must see properties. We are so thrilled with the house we wound up buying. Lauren‘s knowledge of the market, her team of specialists and her dedication to her clients made the entire process as straightforward as it could have been.

We highly recommend Lauren and would look forward to working with her again if the need arises.”

“We were very fortunate to find Lauren through her website when we were relocating to the Needham area from Ohio.  She was always available, gave excellent guidance on the local market and was extremely helpful from search through after closing.  We’d recommend Lauren to anyone buying or selling in the Needham/Newton/Wellesley area.”

~Stuart & Nancy

“When my husband and I were relocating to the Boston area in 2011, Lauren was our go to woman. At the time, we were looking for a rental property since we were unfamiliar with the area and Lauren took the entire day to take us out on the town, so to speak, and get us acquainted with real estate in Massachusetts. Read More...

Needless to say, she helped us get situated in a great first place. Jump ahead to 2013, my husband and I decided to take the next step in making Massachusetts home an started to look into purchasing our first house together. Lauren immediately took us by the hand as first time home buyers and had us go to as many open houses as possible and also helped us establish and re-evaluate our standards. Let me tell you, she is never afraid to tell you what she truly thinks, so we were always on the same page and managed to have a fun time in the process!

Working with Lauren was truly an educational experience and when she takes you under her wing, you truly get an exceptional personalized package. After a few months of searching and trying to find the right place, we located “the one.” Lauren was immediately on the offense and our little gem quickly became ours. Wile any real estate purchase can come with potential hurdles, Lauren made sure that we were always in the know and tried to keep the road as smooth as possible for us. We have now been officially “moved in” for a little over a month and while it remain one of the biggest purchases of our life, Lauren made the decision very easy to make. As we continue to grow into our home, I am sure there will come a time when we need to make the next move. Lauren is definitely on speed dial!

“I had the chance to have some common friends recommend Lauren as a Real EState agent when we relocated to Boston to help us find our new home. She did a terrific job all along.

and optimism through some frustrating moments of our long search. Her integrity and respect for our preferences were outstanding. Finally, after some months, she found the perfect house of our dreams, nailed down the negotiation and today we can say we are happy owners thanks to her. GREAT JOB!

“It is our great pleasure to write a letter of recommendation for Lauren Corkin, who guided us in our search for our dream home in Lexington, Massachusetts. We currently own a home in Boston, Massachusetts, which we will be renting upon our relocation to Lexington.

Lauren goes above and beyond the typical real estate agent.  Read More...

She is extremely sensitive and in touch with her clients’ needs. From the very beginning, it was obvious that Lauren knew the right questions to ask to get to know us as a couple, our wants, needs, and hopes for a home.

Immediately Lauren began sending us listings that matched what she heard us describe as our ideal home. She would leave us messages, by phone and email, highlighting listings that she thought especially fit our searched criteria, and encouraged us to go to as many open houses as we could to get to know the market, and develop an eye for the homes in Lexington.

When we finally found our dream, we are confident that we would not have come to a deal with the owner of the home if it weren’t for Lauren’s support, advice, guidance, and overall expertise in the process. The responsiveness of Lauren is unbelievable. Especially throughout the negotiation process there were many questions to be addressed. Any question that arised was always answered and answered with lightning speed-morning, noon, or night. We couldn’t be more grateful and pleased that we had Lauren representing us in the transaction. In the end, we have everything we wanted and more, and we do believe it is in a great way due to

Lauren utilizes her endless resources to continuously provide a service for her clients that goes beyond finding properties. When one of our elderly relatives wanted to see the home we were most interested in purchasing, Lauren dropped everything with hardly any notice to ensure that she could accommodate our needs. She tracked down the listing broker, got her hands on a key, opened the house, and even made sure the right entrances were open so that our relative would not have to use any stairs. Acts like this and others show how much Lauren truly cares about her clients.

We would highly recommend Lauren Corkin as a real estate broker. She has an undeniable warmth, wealth of knowledge, and personable nature that guarantees a positive and successful experience. She will work with you until the end, until you find what you love, and until you are one hundred percent satisfied.”

“This was a journey that took over a year for us and Lauren was helpful and patient until we found a property that we and the seller could come to an agreement on. Great job and great service. We had an exceptional experience that was painless.”
