Lauren Yoder helped me buy my first home. The transaction went incredibly smooth. Lauren was proactive about getting me to address things on my end before they became hiccups, and I have the strong impression she was working the other side just as much to make sure that even if there were issues, I'd never know it on my end.
Lauren took the time to explain every part of the process to me. Her initial offer of a consultation - essentially an educational session about real estate - was unique; I haven't had another realtor do that, and I didn't realize how much I wanted it until she offered. She has infinite patience for questions. I also admire her loyalty to her network, her transparency, and her obvious commitment to ethics.
