Cutler Real Estate asked Lauren a few questions so you can get to know her better, and here are Lauren's replies.
1. What is your professional/educational background?
I graduated from Ball State University with BS degree in Marketing. Following graduation, I worked in the food distribution field for many years, as the Vice President of Purchasing. Following my passion for health, fitness and racquetball, I managed a racquetball facility, incorporating membership and league activity. My personal interest of real estate developed when purchasing rental investment property; I now acquire various properties throughout Cincinnati.
2. Why did you choose a career in real estate?
I truly have a love of homeownership! The changing markets, and the flow of the next up-and-coming hot spots are exciting to watch, but to assist someone to find their "home" or their perfect office spot, is so rewarding.
3. What area do you live in currently and what do you like about where you live?
I live in the southwest area of Cincinnati, simply called the Westside. Typically, when you are from the Westside, you may leave for a while but you always come back, as I did. The families here are deeply rooted with each other as generations grow up together decade by decade. Simply put, my children have gone to the same grade school I attended, the parents of their friends were my friends growing up, it's a place where neighbors know each other and go out of their way to help each other. The joke is that we Westsiders never leave, and maybe that is a good thing.
4. How do you spend your free time?
Playing!, in the gym, on the court, in a boat. During those needed quite times, you may also find me in front of a canvas painting.
5. If you could only keep 5 possessions what would they be?
My wedding ring, family pictures, and my Jeep.
6. In one word, how do you think your friends/family would describe you?
Empathetic
