12 Greendale Ave Needham

“Lauren worked with my mother, sister and I to sell my mother’s condo in Needham. Not only did Lauren educate us about the market, explain the full sales process, and secure a buyer, but she went above and beyond in what was a stressful time for all of us. My mother was downsizing and moving across the country, and neither my sister nor I lived locally. Lauren went above and beyond to help in any way she could, recommending local vendors to help with the downsizing process and even offering to meet vendors if my sister or I were unable to do so. She also navigated all of the moving pieces involved with selling a condominium that we would never know to do. Lauren worked directly with the property management company to get the required documents for the sale and always kept us in the loop through each step of preparing for the sale. I would highly recommend working with Lauren; if I lived locally I would have her sell my home in the future as well!”

We are grateful to Lauren for finding our new home for us. We noticed that she had been the selling agent for a house in a neighborhood where we dreamed of living. We contacted her and asked her to keep us in mind if another house in that neighborhood came on the market. She promised to do so, and proved true to her word. Nearly a year later she emailed to say that a house there was coming on the market the next day. That next day, she brought us to the realtor’s open house, guided our bidding, and we ended up purchasing a lovely property that we’d long daydreamed about. Thank you, Lauren!

When it came time to market the lots in my exclusive subdivision in Needham, MA, I needed to find that special broker who understood my vision for the development and had the capability to convey it to prospective buyers.  I cannot stress enough how wonderful it has been to work 5 years with Lauren Corkin and bring the sale of all lots to successful fruition! She is both extremely professional and personable, always ensuring that the needs of both the seller and the buyer are satisfied. She supported my wishes and left no stone unturned in order to reach our goal. I consider Lauren not just a fabulous real-estate broker but a true friend! With her at your side you can be confident in the knowledge you have an excellent partner in your endeavor!!

“Lauren was not only very professional and knowledgeable about the market, but also considerate of my needs and desires given the emotional and physical challenges I experienced having lived in my condo for 15+ years. Lauren was very helpful to me when I needed to dispose of some personal belongings, repair some minor “defects” in my condo so it was more presentable and taking the much needed precautions while showing my home during the pandemic. She was accommodating to the desires of both the buyer and seller and was instrumental in overseeing the entire sale process from beginning to final closing (including securing and picking up the 6D and smoke/CO2 detector certificates. Lauren knew the market very well and was a great advisor in terms of setting the asking price and negotiating the P & S Agreement and handling the numerous issues that came up during this process. If the need ever arises, I would not hesitate to use her again.”

We are so happy we chose Lauren to represent us! Covid was just starting as we put our house on the market.  Despite that, she helped us quickly find buyers who were as happy to buy our wonderful house as we were to sell it. The process was surprisingly smooth under very harsh conditions, and Lauren was always there for us with encouragement and ideas.  We’ve been asked, and always answer “yes” to whether or not we would recommend Lauren to others.

Thank you!!

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.

“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. [expand title=”Read More…” swaptitle=” “]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![/expand]

“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.  [expand title=”Read More…” swaptitle=” “] 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.”[/expand]
