MEET LAUREN FOURS
Your Dedicated REALTOR® in Holly Springs, Apex, and Fuquay-Varina
Hi, I’m Lauren, a REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker Advantage, specializing in the market and neighborhoods across Southern Wake County, including Holly Springs, Apex, and Fuquay-Varina. With extensive knowledge of Wake County, as well as Johnston and Harnett Counties, I’m well-equipped to help you find your dream home or sell your property with ease.
Born and raised in New York, I moved to North Carolina about ten years ago, searching across the country for the best place to raise my children. After thorough research on schools, taxes, and housing prices, I chose Apex for its remarkable growth potential. Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to becoming an expert in this part of the market.
My Journey to Real Estate
With a degree in history, my professional journey began in teaching. I quickly transitioned to negotiating high-dollar settlements with the State of New York’s worker’s compensation division.
During this time, a friend introduced me to the world of real estate investment, praising the benefits of purchasing rental properties. Intrigued, I began researching and eventually started flipping homes. The thrill of transforming properties and securing deals sparked a passion that led me to a fulfilling career in real estate.
My Approach
Real estate is deeply personal to my clients, and it is to me as well. I take the time to get to know my clients as individuals, paying close attention to the details that matter most to them. Listing homes is my specialty, and I work closely with professional home stagers to ensure sellers can take pride in presenting their home at its best.
For first-time home buyers and seasoned investors alike, I’m a reliable partner, managing all the complexities and removing the stress from the process. Whether you’re expanding your portfolio with rental properties, purchasing new construction, or simply searching for the right place to raise your family, I thrive on negotiating the best outcomes and ensuring a smooth buying experience. My clients know me as the REALTOR who gets the job done while taking the stress out of the entire transaction.
Areas of expertise
I’ve seen a lot across my years in real estate, and I’ve gained a reputation for helping a wide variety of clients. That said, there are a few types of clients that I have worked with extensively.
Divorcing Couples
I know from firsthand experience that going through a divorce is one of life’s most difficult passages. The real estate piece of the process should be the least of your worries, yet it’s one of the most misunderstood, least anticipated components of separation.
Active Adults (55+)
Finding a home in the right community at this stage of life isn’t easy. Southern Wake County has a growing number of options, but they aren’t one-size-fits-all. I help my clients choose the right neighborhood for their lifestyle, considering their needs as they approach retirement and beyond.
Certifications
Beyond Real Estate
When I’m not working with buyers, sellers, and the agents I mentor, I’m running all over town with my kids. We keep a packed schedule with cheer, cross country, and traveling whenever we can. I’m also a dog mom to Koko, Hennessy, and Chewie. When we’re at home, you can find me reading or watching Netflix. I also enjoy battling the heat and clay to keep my garden thriving.
As the mom of a blended family, I’ve been through a lot of ups and downs that have taught me empathy for my clients. Selling and buying homes are emotional journeys, and my clients appreciate my ability to blend professional expertise with compassionate support.
