Unveiling Lauren Bowen’s Journey to Real Estate and Commitment to Exceptional Service

“Who am I?” That’s the question at the heart of every introduction. Hi, I’m Lauren Bowen, and I’m thrilled to share a bit about my journey, especially how I found my calling in the captivating world of Real Estate.

It all began during the whirlwind shortly after the pandemic started, fresh out of college and navigating a world in flux. Scanning through job listings on the web, a particular opportunity caught my eye—an ad for a Home Staging Assistant role with a seasoned Real Estate agent. The prospect of merging my creative side with hands-on DIY projects piqued my interest. Little did I know, that moment would alter the trajectory of my career.

Landing the position on the spot, I delved into various home staging projects, design projects, occasionally dabbling in administrative tasks for the agent. Witnessing the entire Real Estate process, from preparing homes for the market, to all of the small intricate details during, to closing day, to even past clients, made me enjoy going into work every day. I saw how the agent handled every single one of their clients’ Real Estate journey’s with care and tailored it to fit their wants and needs to work best for them. As I delved deeper into that role, I began envisioning my future path. Thoughts of how I’d serve my prospective clients one day started taking shape in my mind.

Growing up in an entrepreneurial family—my father owning an automotive upholstery business for over 20 years and my grandfather owning an insurance company—I always harboured a conviction that someday, I too would venture into entrepreneurship, upholding values of loyalty, trust, and exceptional customer service. Real Estate emerged as the canvas for manifesting this aspiration. 

Transitioning into a Client Care Manager role within an exceptional Real Estate team was a pivotal moment in my career. Here, I absorbed the intricacies of the industry, laying the groundwork toward acquiring my own license. Learning everything there is to running a successful, thriving Real Estate business, I absorbed everything like a sponge. The pandemic might have disrupted my post-graduation plans in a different field, but fortunately steered me toward a fulfilling path. 

In my view, the Real Estate process isn’t just a transaction; it’s a journey. Every individual’s path in this realm is distinct, and acknowledging that uniqueness is essential. My mission is to be the guiding hand, the supportive ally, for everyone I work with—making the journey less daunting and more empowering.

From day one at my brokerage, I felt it was the perfect fit for me. Being mentored by top-performing agents in this field and my coach has been invaluable. Real Estate can feel isolating, but being part of a team passionate about the business fuels my inspiration. Genuine passion for your work is essential; otherwise, it’s easily noticeable. I thrive on assisting people in reaching their aspirations, and that’s what drives me in my work. I am excited for every opportunity that comes along and ready to be your go-to Real Estate guide!
