I consider myself lucky to have worked with Lauren, whom my wife and I now consider a real friend. She delivered fully throughout the entire home-buying process, at every juncture (we closed on our house in Nov 2018). I will certainly utilize her services in any future real estate transaction that I’m involved with, and in the interim I will be recommending her to my friends and colleagues. Given that my wife and I had recently moved to Charlotte, Lauren invested the time up-front to educate us on the various neighborhoods that fit our needs, including taking us on multiple driving tours. She always made herself available to us for house viewings – often on short notice, and, unfortunately for Lauren, often on weekends. Despite the competitive nature of the Charlotte housing market, coupled with the particulars of my and my wife’s tastes, Lauren remained patient with us over an eight-month search. She was as responsive in month eight as she was day one. Once we finally went under contract on a home, Lauren was both an advocate and a diligent advisor to us during the negotiating and closing processes. Even post-closing Lauren has continued to be a helpful resource, providing my wife and me with recommendations of various contractors and vendors. In short, thanks to Lauren’s help, my wife and I truly believe that we found “the” perfect house for our family! Thanks Lauren! Read Less

I have used Lauren Dayton for two purchases and two sales. She has that rare combination of skills that are all so important for a realtor. She is knowledgeable of the market, a great communicator, highly organized, patient, friendly and uber competent with numbers and contracts. It is an absolute pleasure working with Lauren.

‐ Trish Bernard

I can't recommend Lauren and assistant Jessica enough! We had lots of issues in making this purchase happen. Lauren was there, positive, and helpful throughout the entire process making each difficulty as tolerable as possible. She is a consummate professional and I will not hesitate to call her again in the future!

Lauren Dayton was amazing throughout the process of selling our home. We feel so lucky to have found her. She was really knowledgeable about the process, quick to respond, and extremely helpful when last minute emergency repairs needed to be made before listing.

Lauren Dayton was amazing throughout the process of selling our home. We feel so lucky to have found her. She was really knowledgeable about the process, quick to respond, and extremely helpful when last minute emergency repairs needed to be made before listing. We had a water heater burst the day before our home was going on the market, and she made sure we were able to get it repaired using her local contacts in a timely manner. She also helped us a ton before the sale with staging, connecting us with some great affordable painters, and making sure our home showed at its best. She went above and beyond in her level of service.I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area looking to sell their home. Read Less

Loved Lauren Dayton from the very first call! Very easy to work with, extremely knowledgeable, guided us in the right direction! Her personality clicked with ours instantly, it was like we knew Lauren for years! We had some pretty bad experiences in the past but this was smooth sailing and we can't thank her enough! So grateful that she was referred to us!

‐ J. Aguilar

Lauren was always one step ahead during the closing process. Every time I would have a question, she already knew next steps or had the solution in place. Very responsive to my calls/text messages.

Lauren was always one step ahead during the closing process. Every time I would have a question, she already knew next steps or had the solution in place. Very responsive to my calls/text messages. Very easy to work with and understood my concerns/worries as a first time home buyer. Would ask for my input before making any of the final decisions and would offer different ways of approaching certain situations. Even when she was on vacation in Chicago for the weekend, she still was able to call me back! Read Less

Being out of state, we knew we would need to rely heavily on any real estate agent. LP took on the extra duties and hassle of the situation without hesitation, even continuing to check on the vacant property after we closed.

Being out of state, we knew we would need to rely heavily on any real estate agent. LP took on the extra duties and hassle of the situation without hesitation, even continuing to check on the vacant property after we closed. Her demeanor makes her extremely pleasant to work with, she is a prompt and effective communicator, diligent about responding to questions large and small, and has valuable local knowledge that extends far beyond residential real estate. LP was the perfect agent for our situation and we feel fortunate to have had her represent us. Read Less

‐ Danny Hardesty, Charlotte

Lauren was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was honest, knowledgeable and had very good instincts about the right way to sell the property - and that was very important as we were selling from out of town!

‐ Chris, NYC

Lauren was fantastic in helping us with our sale and purchase. She is very patient and thorough. We have recommended her to our daughters for their real estate needs!

‐ Mark Williams,0 Charlotte

Lauren is a very competent, professional agent whose experience and genuine care for her clients’ needs knows no bounds. Arguably the best agent we’ve ever worked with...ever!

‐ Julie Williams, Charlotte, NC

We bought our house with a very quick turnaround with some trepidation as we were putting an offer in before selling our current home.

We bought our house with a very quick turnaround with some trepidation as we were putting an offer in before selling our current home. Lauren assured us throughout we were in a good spot and we trusted her (lucky for us!). It was a whirlwind to complete all the moving parts but she was always reachable and made sure we were on the right track the entire time. We don't really plan on moving again for quite a while but when we do move the first thing we're going to do is call up LP to see if she's available. She was fantastic and we're trying to talk her up amongst any friends that are looking to move too! Read Less

‐ Jimmy, Charlotte, NC

Lauren Dayton is literally the best realtor you could ask for. She handles everything smoothly and is full of knowledge you may need along the home buying process.

Lauren Dayton made an immediate impression on me upon meeting. She was professional, knowledgeable, confident, and personable - and I knew instantly that she was *the* broker for me. She listed and sold my home quickly and seamlessly - and coordinated, managed, and communicated everything along the way. Truly! I think the only finger I lifted in the entire process was to electronically sign some documents. Lauren knows her craft and is a total rock star. She also knows the best people in other specialty areas - so when I needed a good moving company she knew exactly who to point me to. I will continue to sing Lauren's praises to friends, family, and colleagues. Read Less

‐ Jill, NYC

LP was extremely professional and knowledgeable during the purchase of our new home. She went above and beyond to keep us well informed in each step of the buying process and helped us close on our forever house! I will absolutely recommend her to anyone I know in the market for a new home.

‐ Anna Holtgrewe, Charlotte

Lauren was very thorough and transparent during what could have been a very confusing and muddy process. I am convinced that the only reason we currently own our dream home was because she was involved in the process. We love working with Lauren and would never consider working with a different agent.

‐ Laura, Charlotte, NC

We have purchased three houses and sold two so far with LP. If you choose any other realtor in Charlotte, I question your sanity.

‐ Denny Fulk & Charlotte, NC

Lauren was outstanding. I have no doubt that our home would have sold for less or would have sat on the market longer if it weren't for her! We are also using her to purchase our new home. Somehow she talked the owner of our dream home into taking our offer despite it being the lowest one! She's the best in Charlotte!

We were really lucky to have the opportunity to work with Lauren. She was referred to us by another broker at Helen Adams who was unable to represent us in our transaction. She was a great partner throughout the buying process. From the point we decided to make an offer and beyond closing, we always felt prepared and supported. She was knowledgeable and attentive while helping us work through all manner of questions. We were really anxious about buying our home while living out of state but Lauren made us feel represented and took the worry out of the transaction. We would highly recommend her to anyone.

‐ Erik, Boston, MA

Lauren is a GEM! She guides the decision making process just enough so we are informed, but wasn't pushy in the least. Her pleasant disposition makes her an excellent choice!

Lauren is an outstanding realtor and I have already recommended her to several people

Lauren is great! Highly recommend!

We have worked with 13 real estate agents through out the years. Lauren Dayton is by far the best agent out of the group. You will never meet a finer quality person or agent!

We love LP. She has sold 2 properties for us and helped us buy 1. Thorough, informed, professional, accessible, very effective.

Lauren is outstanding. She takes the time to get to know her clients and understands their needs, wants, and concerns and delivers above and beyond expectations. I would only use Lauren on any future real estate transactions.

Lauren was terrific in every way. She was a joy to work with. She represents Helen Adams at the highest professional level. We have purchased 10 properties in the past 40 years. Lauren is by far the best realotor we've worked with.

This was a fairly complicated process due to doing a 1031 Exchange and purchases were done through a trust. The most difficult part was the communication with the underwriter of the mortgage.

This was a fairly complicated process due to doing a 1031 Exchange and purchases were done through a trust. The most difficult part was the communication with the underwriter of the mortgage. Lauren did more than her job requires by helping with the communication and managing to get all parties involved on the same page. It was a stressful process but she was professional and most helpful every through every step of the process. Her vast knowledge of services in the area has been extremely helpful because I needed to find people to do some repairs and updates. I am from a different state and could not have had a better realtor to work with. I am most grateful for her patience, kindness and professionalism. Read Less

LP is the consummate professional in her business. I have referred many people to her and will continue to do so. You guys are fortunate to have someone like her.

Lauren was exceptionally prepared to handle the sale of our home. She provided superb service and was extremely helpful in guiding us through the sale of our home. We will recommend Lauren whenever we are given the opportunity.

‐

Lauren Ponder is excellent and displays the highest standards of professionalism.

‐

LP and Angela are awesome! They are both so knowledgeable, and LP's expertise extended far beyond just real estate--she could tell me what might need to be fixed or changed and approximately how much it would cost for every home we looked at. I have already recommended her to other people and will happily use her when we decide to sell our home in the future!

‐ Paul & Katie Hatcher

LP is an asset to the real estate business.

Lauren Dayton was wonderful to work with in the recent purchase of my house in Charlotte. She and her assistant, Angela, were incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and insightful. I could not have asked for a better team.
