Lauren is quite thorough in making sure that all the moving parts are in place and that there aren’t any unexpected surprises in the transaction. I believe that Lauren is more interested in the outcome than in the income. We truly had a great experience selling our home with Lauren. I would recommend her professional services to anyone.

Five minutes after I decided to sell my house, I called Lauren. I called Lauren before I called my kids. That is how sure I was that she was the person to handle the sale of my home. Boy was I right. She came over that same day. From beginning to end, Lauren was the ultimate professional. Whenever I had a question--or thought I had a problem-- she responded immediately with an answer or a reassurance that minimized the problem I thought I had. I can not recommend Lauren enough.

Lauren is a very personable, energetic and resourceful real estate expert, who made our home sales process easy, efficient and successful. Her market analysis portfolio of our home was extremely helpful as it was very thorough, well organized, and featured extensive data and dozens of pro quality exterior and interior photos and maps. We truly felt that we knew the competition as a result, but it was Lauren’s deep knowledge of the surrounding properties, community, and market conditions that immensely aided in our pricing strategy. And if we needed a handyman, electrician, carpet cleaner or mover to help with the house, it was no problem! Lauren’s vast network of trusted service provider referrals helped us to quickly ready our home for sale. Her marketing and open house was well organized and extremely effective, enabling a fast sale. In the end, Lauren made the entire selling and closing process easy and seamless in so many ways.

It was a very helpful experince Geraldine Wolf

WE LOVE OUR NEW HOME! We'd been looking for a home in Edgewater since the middle of 2020. We happened to visit an open house in Edgewater last year; that's where we met Lauren Dettmann. We told her that we hadn't sold our home yet but were looking for a home, with a basement in Edgewater. Lauren kept us in mind! No sooner did we sell our home this spring, Lauren called us to let us know she had the home we were looking for! Everything fell into place and the purchase of our home went smoothly, thanks to Lauren (and Jessica!). Lauren and Jessica handled everything professionally and with great care. Vicki Schaller

Lauren went out of her way to accommodate our health issues for showings. Did a fantastic job! Did more than one would expect from a realtor. And the house sold in a week for more than we were asking! Great job! Mike Taylor

Our experience with Lauren Dettmann was outstanding. Lauren’s experience and expertise were evident from the right pricing of our home, the staging of our home, negotiating, and sealing the sale deal. We could not be more satisfied with Lauren. Very professional and also personable; a quality not often seen. The Military On The Move was a wonderful and valuable way to honor and recognize my military service. Kudos to Lauren and Baird & Warner. Mike & Mary Calka

Lauren was outstanding. Her knowledge of the market is truly evident. Our home was priced correctly and the sale process was a breeze. I cannot say enough about Lauren’s touching all the bases from home staging, negotiations, and other little tips.

Lauren made the selling process as stress free as humanly possible. Lauren was on top of everything and was readily available each and every time we reached out to her. Peter Delalis, Executor

My sister and I needed to sell our parent's home. We had spoken with a couple of realtors when my sister said, “let's try Lauren Dettmann. I see her signs all over Del Webb.” I looked out the window and saw her vehicle in the driveway across the street. Her sign was in the vehicle window. I called and told her we were across the street. She came over as soon as she was done. From the beginning we could see she was on top of things. She told us what we needed to do to get the home ready for sale. She recommended various tradesmen, product sources and colors. All her recommendations were excellent. Both my sister and I live out of state, so Lauren was extremely helpful letting tradesmen in the house and checking on progress. We had a couple of offers very quickly. Once we accepted an offer Lauren continued to assist us through the rest of the process. We are very thankful for all her knowledge and assistance. Russell Clark

We chose Lauren as our realtor because of her excellent reputation in our community. She was very thorough in her work ethics and kind too! She certainly lived up to her reputation! Bob and Lucille

My experience with Lauren was exceptional! She went WAY BEYOND the call of duty, helping me with things my out-of-town family could not. She was always positive and encouraging. I would strongly recommend her to anyone wanting to sell their home. Pat Thorne

You absolutely could not have done anymore to exceed my expectations for the sale of my house! In my estimation there is nothing more that needed to be done ...you sold my house quickly, with no glitches! Thank you So very much, Pat Thorne Pat Thorne

Thank you, Lauren. Kathryn S Tanner

5 Star rating for Lauren Dettman! She is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to knowing her clients needs. She was our realtor several years ago when we were in the market to buy; and we recently utilized Lauren’s talents and expertise to sell our home. It sold within a few days despite the current Covid situation! Lauren understands the housing market, and she magically has buyers waiting! She is trustworthy, fair and always looks after her clients best interest. Thank you, Lauren Dettman! Robert & Carla Henderson

It is stressful to list your home for sale during the best of times; however, during this stressful time of the COVID -19 pandemic, Lauren remained calm and collected. She arranged 6 showings of our residence, 3 of which were to the same party and who purchased our home within the first 5 weeks of listing it. This feat was accomplished in part because Lauren arranged to produce a virtual tour in lieu of being able to have In-person open houses. In addition, she also produced a stunning photo brochure of our residence, which proved invaluable to those making inquiries. We would highly recommend Lauren to any of our friends in Elgin, and especially those who live at Edgewater by Del Webb. Lauren has first-hand knowledge of the market, both as a resident and top sales agent in this market. Throughout this stressful time, Lauren remained personable, positive, and professional. Sharon Haroz

Lauren is a five star broker. As a homeowner and an attorney I have dealt with numerous brokers. In this instance, I was acting as the Executor of an estate of dear friends who had passed away. Lauren went above and beyond the normal duties of a broker, both in terms of meeting and communicating with me, preparing the home for inspection, dealing with the inspection issues, closing and more. I would highly recommend her. Harvey J. Barrnett

Lauren is the best choice for Edgewater. Living there is priceless. Her knowledge, experience and personal touch is such an asset. Laura Imber

Lauren was very knowledgeable, and helpful thru the whole process. she made everything easy, thanks lauren. Mike Miskiewicz, Trustee

Lauren was very professional and responsive to all questions. It was a pleasure working with her. Mann Trust Susan M Brongiel Trustee

In my 60 years of multiple real estate transactions I have never worked with a more professional and efficient realtor than Lauren. While I didn't agree with a couple of her suggestions at listing, I recognized her talents and vast experience and accepted all her suggestions. Smartest thing I did! After months of inactivity she brought us two contracts within the first week. Whether you're a buyer or seller, I promise you she will give you the best service you've ever had. And if you're an active or retired military member she is a certified realtor for the Military On The Move program which saves you about $500 in closing cost for every $100,000 sales price of your home. Go with the BEST - call Lauren Dettmann-Fosbinder , a highly professional, efficient, experienced hard working realtor that is also a great communicator! Ronald W. Guengerich

Would recommend Paul Conrad Schmidt Revocable Trust

Lauren was more than a Real Estate Agent for my Aunt. She was a true and dedicated friend! She was there through the entire listing and selling period, as well as when the movers were there, and at the closing. There is nothing more that could have been asked of her. If there were more than 5 stars to give we would give her those! You could not ask for a better Realtor!!! Wayne R

Lauren Was just fantastic. Caring, considerate, and very helpful. She helped my Aunt Marlene through a tough time with no real support near by. Lauren was always immediately near her phone and answered questions even at night and on weekends. She is a gem. Lauren even helped with the move with suggestions for selling furniture and movers. She has a kind soul and heart of gold. Janet Henrikseen

I would recommend Lauren to anyone buying or selling s home. James H. Deneffe

Lauren Dittmann, was a great agent to have representing us. She aggressively promoted our house and communicated with us as time went by. I would recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a real estate agent. Joseph Podraza

Lauren goes above and beyond, no matter what the task at hand. And she does it with a really good sense of humor! Janice Pfenning Sharon Rudolph

We were so pleased with our real estate agent, Lauren Dettmann. I know her suggestions and advice are what led to the sale of the house in a short time. She was there to help every step of the way. Candy Hansen

I feel that Lauren’s knowledge and assistance was directly responsible for the sale of my mother’s home. I would not have even known where or how to get started. I cannot thank her enough for all she did to help. Gladys Baitman R.l.trust

Best realtor I ever had. Blaise J. Wolfrum, Guardian

The best realtor I have ever worked with. Gives very personal attention and knows all the right people to repair anything or update a house. Truly a dedicated professional.

Lauren Dettmann represented my sister when my sister sold her house, and my sister highly recommended Lauren to me. My sister, a tough critic, said Lauren provided excellent service as she assisted in the sale of her house. Lauren was outstanding representing us in the sale of our home. Lauren was patient and thorough outlining the sales process at our initial meeting, shared with us her role in each step of the sale, and was a valuable and helpful resource as each step happened. We sold our house at our list price much quicker than we expected due to Lauren's outstanding representation. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone considering selling a home. She is a superb real estate agent. Kenneth J. Hendricks, Trustee

Lauren has helped us sell a couple of homes. When selling our house she helped navigate through the process of fielding multiple offers. Not as fun as one might think. Most recently Lauren listed and sold my parents' house. This was a difficult transition for our family which Lauren handled with the upmost sensitivity. Like any realtor Lauren will provide comps. The real difference is in the marketing. Lauren's marketing plan is fabulous. She has access to a stagger and photographer that do a marvelous job. Last but not least Lauren went above and beyond to help with the small details in both cases to get us closed. Jacque P.

I'm glad Lauren was in our corner. She took on our house just after Thanksgiving. Winter is not a good time for home sales in IL. But it closed May 1st and I am thankful for her help. There were many donations and repairs to be done. Lauren was able to give us the names of quite a few service people who helped to get the house sold. She knows her real estate. S & B Behrens

Lauren is the ultimate professional and is blessed with a warm engaging personality. I felt from the very beginning she was the right person to handle the sale of our home, and she was. Lauren went the "extra mile" to accommodate our family and assisted us with her vast knowledge and experience in making well thought-out decisions. She handled situations when we could not be there and always with a positive attitude and result. Based on the above remarks, I HIGHLY recommend Lauren as an outstanding representative for your needs! I Ila Joyce

Lauren Dettmann was a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure my requests were met in my search for a home.

Great job. Lauren made selling our home relatively painless. Thank you Lauren Bob Clark

Lauren was wonderful. She was exceptionally knowledgable about the neighborhood and surrounding area in which we were looking for a home. She helped us narrow down our search and understood our requirements and needs when planning a purchase for our mother. Lauren made the process easy. She is organized, and responses quickly and went WELL over and above to make sure our purchase went as smoothly as possible. Stacey & James Lauro

Lauren was so organized and showed compassion and patience through out the entire process of selling my house. When I could not focus, she was there for me guiding me until I was back on track. Her knowledge of the housing market, and in particular the Edgewater by Del Webb community is outstanding. She had connections to help with staging of my house for a fast sale, and to move my possessions to safe storage, since mine was a two step move. She truly represented me and my needs . Donna Franks

I was extremely pleased with Lauren Dettmann's expertise and her familiarity with the community of Edgewater by Del Webb.

I would highly recommend Lauren. Her experience and knowledge is a valuable asset. She is very resourceful and accessible and honest . Paula Cygan

We used Lauren as our realtor when purchasing our home 1 1/2 years ago, she was a pleasure to work with. So, when my father passed 2 months ago & we had to sell his house it was a no brainer to contact Lauren. I’ve worked with several realtors over the years & none of them have been a match to Lauren! She goes over & above what I feel a realtor would normally do. She is prompt, professional & very knowledgeable about the market. She is very much on the ball. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the market to sell or purchase a home. She’s the best! Estate Of Peter Montelbano

I was more than pleased with my business dealings of selling my 2499 Rolling Ridge, Elgin Ill. 60124 property. The reason for the success was due to Lauren Dettmann. She provided me with all of the above skills. She takes pride in her business relationship and selling your house for the best price in the least amount of time on the market. She suggested a Stager which put the finishing touch on my property. My house was officially in the MLS Fri. 2/16 & Sold Mon. 2/19. Please note; sold at asking price which with Lauren's guidance, I chose the price. She was very agreeable. Lauren took time to patiently go over the contract and recommended an excellent Attorney for the closing. Everything went extremely well. This is all due to Lauren's professional skills.

I wanted to thank you for the many ways you helped us find our new home! You were so patient to show us numerous homes, styles, and areas. You listened to what we wanted and needed and never gave up on us:) Thank you for that and the Cooper's Hawk gift card and wall hanging! Look forward to seeing you! Jerry and Gail S. Jerry and Gail S.

Bonnie and I would like to thank for the tremendous job you did for us in assisting us to acquire our Del Webb home. Having sold our Glen Ellen condo with a quick close date, Bonnie and I were concerned that we would be forced to store our furniture until we found the right home at Edgewater. However, with your extensive knowledge of the area and the many relationships you have fostered in representing buyers and sellers at Edgewater, you went to work for us, making our needs your obvious priority. In addition to contacting homeowners for our benefit, who had not yet listed their property but were potential sellers, you kept us abreast of all listings as soon as they came on the market. As time grew short, you sent us the perfect listing and expertly represented our interests, although our offer was contingent on our closing our Glen Ellyn condo. As a result of your efforts, we were able to sell our condo and buy our new home on the same day, a home perfectly suited for us, and with so many unexpected upgrades. Throughout the process, you remained calm and encouraged us to do the same, believing that it would all work out in the end, which it did. As a lawyer, I especially appreciated and admired your excellent communication skills which I saw, first hand, when you, in my presence, negotiated for us over the phone. Thanks again for your professionalism and personal attention! Please stop by and see us, but wait a week or so to enable us to unpack the many boxes that remain unopened. Sincerely, Lou and Bonnie B. N/A

Lauren was exceptional! Louis Bellande, Trustee

Lauren D was a professional that kept us informed though out the selling process. George Mangriotis

Lauren was a very hands on realtor and was always ready to guide us and look out for pitfalls. An overall good experience. Len and Beverly Szymanski Leonard Szymanski

It was a pleasure to have Lauren represent me. She was very knowledgeable and responsive. Quick to respond to my calls and emails. Always very courteous. I would recommend her to any of my neighbors. Rose Amato

Lauren was just a phone call away for any problems that came up. Two days after we listed our house the hot water heater went out, we bought a home owners warranty on the property but the company would not honor it. She got on the phone and tried her best to get them to replace it but no luck. But she did try. Lauren made very good suggestions about using a person to stage, this I believed help with the sale of the house. If anyone I knew needed a realtor I would recommend Lauren.. Lauren thanks for all your help, Dennis R Ziegert Dennis Ziegert

Lauren did a good job Jeffrey Hasselberger

We are so grateful to find a realtor like Lauren. She listens carefully to what you are looking for in a new home without wasting your time. She found our dream house right off the bat. Then she tells you step by step how to get your home ready for a sale. She sold our home very quickly. She then has a list of vendors that will help you and we used most of them and was very pleased with the results. Lauren makes you feel how important you are to her, not just as a client. She answers your call promptly and gets answers for you just as quickly. We have referred our friends to her and they were more than pleased. Thank goodness for someone lie Lauren to make your dreams come true! ~The Warsaws~ Irene and Jerry Warsaw

Lauren is the best as was each person/service she recommended to us! Lauren made the whole process run smoothly. It was more like working with a friend than an agent. She was perfect! We would not hesitate to refer her to friends and family! ~The Castos~ Denny & Dot Casto

Lauren was the realtor I selected to sell my home in Edgewater in the fall of 2015. Her reputation in my community as the top saleswoman came with accolades of her success as being the consummate professional. Lauren presented me with a sales plan, introduced me to a staging company and a photographer who put my home in the best possible light, was there for me when I had questions and gave me the support I needed to bring me to an offer. She counseled me, guided me, cared for me and sold my house. Lauren not only was my saleswoman. She is my friend. I would highly recommend her to sell any home, especially in Edgewater as she lives, works, and plays in the community. She knows it intimately and is the best! ~Nancy Brown~ Nancy Brown

Lauren: I wanted to let you know how grateful I am for your excellent handling of my Mother’s house sale. I appreciate not have to be concerned that anything would fall off the plate. It is good to have a realtor and friend that you can trust for this task. Thanks again. Regards, Gail Gail Freiberg

Thank you very kindly Lauren for all your assistance. You started by selling our house much faster than expected, then you helped us find a rental unit very quickly, and then even faster you found the perfect house for us to buy! We are both amazed and thrilled at how fast you are able to help us solve our challenging situations. You also recommended a great attorney, property stager, furniture liquidator, and contract workers. Thank you very much! You are the best real estate agent ever! Dave and Sharon Stangle

We were so pleased with Lauren handling the sale of our home. She is very professional and so happy to listen to our concerns and questions. We would highly recommend Lauren! Fred and Barb Miller Fred and Barb Miller

Lauren was a pleasure to work with. She was very organized and helpful. Our home was sold to the second party that looked at it. When we did run into a few hiccups on the buyers side, while setting up our closing, Lauren was there to keep us calm and reassured that everything would, in the end, turn out just fine and it did. We would definitely recommend Lauren to anyone looking to sell their home! Terry and Pat

We just wanted to let you know that we were very pleased with your recent real estate services. You guided us through the contact with a lawyer, as well as the ins and its of selling one house and at the same time buying another house. From start to finish, your professional skills certainly contributed very effectively to a positive outcome in a very reasonable 2 to 3 month time frame from start to close. So, thanks very much for all your efforts, business knowledge, and positive approach in support of the 2 negotiation processes as well. Sincerely, Bob and Beth Bob and Beth

Baird and Warner Real Estate Barrington Office In this season of thanks, I wanted you to know how thankful I am that I chose Lauren Dettmann as my realtor when I sold my home in DelWebb Edgewater and moved to Lake in the Hills after the death of my husband. Not only was it a huge plus that she is also a resident of Edgewater, understands the nature of Active Adult Communities and the accompanying regulations, but it was very handy that she was within the community and could do showings and handle negotiations at the drop of a hat. When it came to my purchase she was most patient and knowledgeable. Even though I sold real estate for 25 years, we all know that when it’s your own transaction you still get emotional. Lauren kept me focused and on the right path at all times. Not only were her marketing materials for my home top notch and very professional, the data she furnished for each property I was interested in was outstanding. When it came to negotiations she was very competent and available. Even though I lost a property I thought I wanted, Lauren knew that the right one was just around the corner and she was completely correct. I love my new house, it was the right move for me, and if anyone needs top notch realtor to help them through a very important transaction, buy or sell, they should choose Lauren !! Most sincerely, Kate Kate Silver

We will be referring all who are thinking of or planning to sell their home to you. We feel we not only got an incredible agent, but also we've made ourselves a great friend along the way. Thanks again! Joe and Maryellen Joe and Maryellen Variola

We worked with Lauren for about a month on selling our house. The first weekend Lauren listed the house we had 16 showing requests and 3 offers. Thanks to Lauren's knowledge and extensive experience, we sold our house in one weekend. We highly recommend Lauren Dettmann if you need help buying or selling a house.

Lauren went above and beyond an A. She was always there ready to help and listen when I needed her. Connie Connie Olson

Lauren Dettmann was the realtor for our Dell Webb property. We saw her at one of the Open House Sundays at Edgewater. My husband and I remembered her friendliness and her wonderful cookies J. We were impressed with her even though at that time we were not looking to make a move. When the time came to put our home up for sale as we were purchasing another Edgewater property, we called her and she had remembered us. Her professionalism and knowledge of the market was exactly what was needed and we sold our home in less than one month. Lauren kept in touch with us constantly and answered any of our emails within hours. We used her knowledge to direct us in all the stages of selling and used her referrals and we were not disappointed and were very well served. We absolutely would direct anyone selling or buying property to contact her for any real estate service needed. Thank you Lauren, for your hard work….we appreciate you more than we can say. Your Friends, Mike and Barbara Mike and Barbara Bartlett

This past summer Lauren helped me sell my home in West Chicago and find a new home in Pingree Grove. With Lauren’s professional help, my previous home sold within three days. Lauren is extremely helpful and thorough, but most importantly, she always responded to my e-mails or calls very quickly. She is an excellent negotiator, respecting all persons involved, while keeping her client’s interests foremost. She has a wide array of contacts and was able to help me with references for a lawyer, painter, mover, handyman, etc. I am keeping lots of Lauren’s business cards available and sharing them whenever I hear of someone needing a great realtor. Linda Linda S.

Dear Lauren, I called you to be my real estate agent and then you became a real miracle in my life. BINGO, you sold my house and then you went on to become a new ray of sunshine in my life, helping me as I made new changes. You are a very special person and I thank you for all that you have done!

Lauren - Please accept my sincerest thanks for finding the perfect home for my family. Despite a tight timeline and very specific criteria you were able to zero in on exactly what we needed and I am very grateful. Your knowledge, patience, humor, kindness and dedication helped take the stress out of the search. We are now moved into our new house and look forward to many happy years here. If ever we, our family, or friends need real estate services in the future we will certainly recommend you. Thanks again, Elizabeth B. Elizabeth B.

We want to express our thanks for the selling of our home in Edgewater by Del Webb in Elgin. From the very outset, you helped us to set a price, created photos for the listing which turned out great, and held the open house. Our home sold quickly largely due to your efforts. Your dedication and help made the job of selling our home easy and because of this, we have contracted you to help us find and purchase our new home. Thank you Casey & Pat Casey & Pat Halinski

My husband and I highly recommend Lauren Dettman to anyone who would like to buy or sell a home. Lauren Dettman is an outstanding realtor. She is professional, honest, positive, knowledgeable, prompt and always available for her clients. Lauren knows how to stage a home to highlight all the positives for the home video tour. Absolutely outstanding talent! Our house sold in only a few days thanks to Lauren. She negotiated with the buyers on our behalf in a professional and courteous manner. Lauren is very thorough and does not let the details fall through the cracks. There are realtors who boast of their success. Lauren Dettmann does not need to boast – her clients and successful record speak for her. She is a delight to work with while cheerfully getting the job done. Thank you Lauren. Well done. Bob and Angie Bob & Angie Hunderfund

Personally I always check the Internet before I buy. But trust me on this one: Once you have met and worked with Lauren, you will not need to check for other options anywhere: Lauren is punctual (very important for Germans like us...:)) Lauren has so much knowledge about the market-and whenever she is leaving her core market, we get the info needed immediately Lauren has been so much than a realtor for us-she consulted us in so many ways: Where we should move, what are the schools like in the area, how is the neighborhood overall, what other things do we have to consider--for non-Americans like us this is key! Lauren even helped us more than a year later with some other housing related issues! Lauren helped us to get the right team together when it came to financing. And I wish she would have told me about her negotiation style--being in sales myself, I could learn so much from her. Very important: This all does not stop after closing the deal since Lauren knows all the craftsmen you could possibly need--and if she does not have the right advice available immediately, she would check with all her co-workers to help us. It would be fair to also point out the negative things about Lauren and her service--simply, there is nothing that comes to my mind! Except one thing: She does not drive a German car! Lauren was recommended to us by a good friend, and this is what I am happy to do now myself: I highly recommend Lauren! Hendrik and Verena Hendrik and Verena Esser

My husband and I have bought and sold eleven homes over the years, the last two being listed with Mrs. Lauren Dettmann. No previous realtor has matched the level of professionalism demonstrated by Lauren. We appreciated that she anticipated and coached us on the nuances in showing our home to its best advantage. We're SOLD on Lauren Dettmann. Anne & Andy (from Crystal Lake to Florida) Anne & Andy Lunk

At the suggestion of Nancy Quigley, my realtor at Del Webb, I contacted Lauren Dettmann about selling my home. During her initial visit, I found Lauren to be very professional, very friendly, and a down to earth person to talk with. She came to the initial visit well prepared with information about recent home sales in my area, and suggested pricing for my type of home. Lauren felt we should list my home at a reasonable rate for my area and my type of home, and not at an inflated rate. She suggested using a stager at her expense for the first visit. I used the stager who suggested some painting and re-arranged my own furniture for better eye appeal for today's buyer. My home sold in 3 1/2 weeks. I attribute this to Lauren's aggressive salesmanship, her use of a professional photographer, and her abillity to produce a great on line showing. I highly recommend Lauren as a professional, fair realtor, and a great person to know! Sincerely, Mary J Keyse PS I love living at Del Webb and in the 4 months I have been here, I have made many new friends and I make good use of the Club House. Mary Keyse

Dear Lauren, Many thanks to you for the delicious pretzels. Even more important, many thanks to you for all that you did to help me sell my house and move into Grand Dominion. Without you I wouldn't be living here today. My house was definitely not an easy sale, but you managed to get a contract within the first week. Even more important, you were with me every step of the way - I still hear your voice telling me to breathe! Thank you for the pretzels, the hugs, the understanding. Seven months ago you were my realtor; now you are my friend. Sincerely, Katie Simmer Katie Simmer

Last year at this time my husband and I were thinking…… should we or shouldn’t we. Is now the right time or not? We had been looking at homes in Grand Dominion for several years and fell in love with one particular model. I started packing up all the holiday treasures and sifting through some of the things that had seen better days. That was the beginning and as of today we have been in our new dream home for 2 months. We needed to down size and we are so happy to be almost settled here in our Del Webb home. We absolutely love it!!! We meet Lauren Dettmann at a seminar at Grand Dominion about how to best market your home in today’s economy. My husband and I had already meet with a real estate agent; but I am always open to learning more and having different input, and ideas. We were very impressed by Lauren and her honesty and down to earth approach as to how to go about selling homes. Lauren came to our house and immediately I felt as though she took a personal interest. She did not give me the impression that this was just another house for her to sell. We had lived in our home for 37 years and of course it was our pride and we shared many happy times there. I know that Lauren could feel how much love was put into our home and I truly believe that is the way she marketed it for us. Lauren was the agent we were looking for and she did a fantastic job for us. Our home sold in less than two weeks!!! I am a “nervous Nellie” and Lauren was there with us through it all. She kept us informed on everything that was going on and we were always able to reach her no matter what. Thank You Lauren for the heartfelt way you sold our home for us. Tom & Dolores Dolores & Tom Morgan

Thanks to Lauren Dettmann I now live in a beautiful, new to me, home in McHenry, Il.! Lauren considers your personal needs in a home and searches out everything she feels will fill those needs. She is friendly, considerate, and respectful, her goal being to please you and find your dream home. You can't go wrong choosing Lauren for your realtor! Doris Doris L.

Lauren Dettmann was immeasurably helpful to us -- her recommendation for where to look and finally buy was right-on! Her patience and positive attitude helped us to also remain so during the selling process. We would and have recommended her to others. Marty and Jerry B. Marty & Jerry B.

We were referred to Lauren by a mutual friend and were very happy with her service. Our situation was relo and she sought out the right folks to get answers if she did not know the process. Lauren jumped through some hoops for us and did a super job of 'watching' our house and keeping us informed when we had relocated and it was still on the market. One of Lauren's strongest qualities, in my mind, is her responsiveness, she answers everything VERY promptly. I would recommend Lauren highly! Kasey and Mike P. Kasey & Mike P.

From listing through closing, Lauren's experience receives rave reviews from this satisfied seller. In these uncertain times, Lauren skillfully guided the course to find our buyer, negotiate inspection requests and handle the closing...all thankfully done before the snow flies. I am grateful to her for many things in addition to the house sale. She's a wonderful and special person with honest intentions, excellent ideas and plenty of determination. Karie Valkema Kairie V.

Lauren Dettman sold our house within 3 days for 99% of the asking price! She was always there for us throughout the entire process from pricing to listing to negotiating to closing. She kept us informed each step along the way and resolved all of our concerns as they arose. Lauren is a true professional whose hard work gets results. Bob and Barbara M. Bob & Barb M.

From our initial meeting until the day we sold our house, Lauren impressed us throughout the process with her experience and professionalism. She has a strong understanding of the real estate business and knows what it takes to make a property stand out in a crowded marketplace. She was always easy to contact and made us feel like selling our house was her number one priority. Lauren was a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend her to anyone who is thinking about selling their home. Thank you again for all you did to make the house selling process as pleasant as possible. Steve and Diane Johnson Steve & Diane J.

Lauren Dettmann served as our buyers agent when looking for our first home; she was extremely knowledgeable, and was incredibly patient with all of the questions we had as first time home-buyers! In addition, Lauren proved to be very honest, and definitely looked out for our best interests. She has also continued to be a resource for us since then, providing valuable insight and contacts as we have made home improvements. We would highly recommend Lauren, and know that should we ever decide to move, we will certainly use her again! (And she did 2 more times) Amy B. Amy B.

Hi, my name is Anne. I was referred to Lauren by a friend when getting ready to sell my home in Lake Barrington. I was impressed with Lauren's knowledge of the real estate market in my neighborhood and the area my family was looking to locate to. Lauren priced our home well and it actually sold to the first family that walked through! In our search for a new home, Lauren negotiated a fair price on a beautiful house that we continue to live in today. In our dealings both professionally and personally, Lauren is honest and up-front. I will trust her again with my next home sale. Anne D.

Lauren Dettmann listed and sold our home in Barrington. We encountered a problem with mold which was due to the previous owner building the courtyard with pavers and blocking our dryer vent!!! She knew exactly how to resolve the issue, she contacted the best company to accomplish the mold remediation (very messy) and it was accomplished without delay. She also had a contractor she works with clear the exhaust and repair the courtyard. Upon inspection the inspector spotted a minor water leak and Lauren had someone out to resolve that quickly. Her attorney was on top of everything at all times. Our home was sold without much delay (even with a few setbacks). She also helped us find our current home ... which we love. Thank you Lauren!
