BIOGRAPHY
Originally hailing from a quaint town northeast of Houston, Lauren Szekelyhidi developed a love for central Texas and now proudly calls the Greater Austin Area her home.
After pursuing a degree in Education from The University of Texas at Austin, the birth of her daughter inspired Lauren to follow her life-long desire for a career in the real estate industry.
Lauren's commitment, expertise and honest southern values greatly benefit her clients' home-buying experience.
As an residential Realtor, Lauren's success is attributed to personalized service, continued community involvement and lasting client relationships.
What clients have to say about me
On very short notice, Lauren responded to our requests to view houses and kindly made it a priority to work showings into her busy schedule. We never felt in the dark at any point, as she kept us up to speed every step of the process. It was evident Lauren was acutely familiar with the particular with the subdivision we desired. At the time we contacted Lauren, we had some complicated financial circumstances that a lessor realtor would have seen as roadblocks. However, Lauren's savvy and negotiation abilities paved the way for us to land the house we really wanted!

Lauren is absolutely the best realtor I've ever worked with! As an investor, I was immediately impressed with her 'take no prisoners attitude', her quick and detailed responses, her strong work ethic and her relentless determination to find the right property. I was most impressed with her willingness to fight aggressively for my bottom line during both the contract negotiations and option period. On multiple occasions, Lauren solved complex problems both creatively and intelligently. From day one, Lauren demonstrated her leadership abilities and constantly took the initiative to drive the home buying process forward. I can not stress enough how highly motivated and passionately enthusiastic Lauren is about her job and about helping her clients, and I highly recommend her!

We have no ties to the area where we bought a home, so we selected our realtor the same way you are--by reading reviews. I'm so glad we decided to reach out to Lauren because our experience with her has been nothing short of exceptional. I can say with the utmost confidence that you will not find a better realtor. Lauren is very knowledgeable about the local housing market and, even more importantly to us, the local communities. She is an excellent communicator throughout the whole process, both with her clients and the other party (in our case, a builder). She is the nicest, friendliest person you will ever meet, but she will advocate for her clients relentlessly to get them a good deal and to ensure they are treated fairly. She is candid and forthright when her opinion is solicited, but she never pressures. She will commiserate with you in your frustrations, and she will share in your excitement. She will be an invaluable resource throughout your home-buying/selling journey, and if you're lucky, as we were, she will become a lifelong friend.
The Young Family
From the get go, Lauren was definitely a super star realtor and passionate about what she does. Lauren was very positive and consistently communicated daily to ensure my experience was stress free. I highly recommend her expertise and knowledge to anyone wishing a realtor who is on your side. Lauren was truly a blessing and will work diligently to make your sale a wonderful experience.

If anyone is searching this site in order to find an agent, look no further. This girl is simply "the best". Lauren isn't simply an agent, she's fully invested as your partner. This girl won't rest, sleep or eat (well, take that back, she will eat, wink wink) until she finds you that home you desire. But her job doesn't end there. She's with you step by step until the finish line. Whatever you need she's on it. I know there will be some that read this review and think it's staged, but believe me, it's not. I never knew the girl before this experience and today she's family. So, thank you Lauren (CK) for being our team leader and making our purchase a reality.
H. Mintz
As an experienced home buyer and military veteran, I chose for the first time not to use a realtor in the USAA network (and their cash back incentive) in favor of Lauren, due to my impressions of Lauren as very personable and a real go getter that could out perform my USAA referred realtor. This turned out to be correct. Lauren was patient with my uncertainty and flopping around on housing needs due to a recent increase in household size, and she walked me through a range of home options in this area. When an ideal home on a large lot with a separate guest house in the San Marcos Willow Creek neighborhood became available, and which was hot and had several purchase offers within a few days, she helped guide me to a winning bid. She even suggested I lower the offer I had in mind, which I was worried about, but it ended up saving me money. Lauren proved to be an excellent Buyer advocate by having the Seller agree to concessions I did not think would be agreed upon. During the home search process Lauren was very accessible and responsive to text messaging and short notice home viewings. During the loan purchase process with USAA mortgage, she was always on top of every detail and in communication with and had a good rapport with both the USAA loan officer and the Sellers real estate agent, which helped keep a tight closing date right on schedule. I feel one of Lauren's strengths and a reason she is able to successfully juggle so much is she works well as a team with another realtor who is more technically oriented and manages very well what some call the grunt work and details that are time consuming and can bog down most realtors, while she focuses on the customer and sales end for her Buyers and Sellers. Don't let Lauren's youth or lack of many years of experience fool you. Lauren is definitely a sharp up and comer in the local real estate market, and a great go to person for anyone's real estate needs.

I can not say enough WONDERFUL things about Lauren! I am a college student, and know nothing about buying/renting houses and my parents could not be here with me throughout the whole process. I was thoroughly expecting to be treated like I had no idea what I was doing, to be ripped off and talked into something I knew nothing about and would be unhappy with. This was NOT the case with Lauren! She was wonderful from day one! She texted and emailed me updates all the time, and even when a deal fell through and I was heartbroken, reminded me that she would put me in the house that was meant for me and that I would not be disappointed! Her motto is "everything happens for a reason" and I truly believe that after working with her! She is the nicest woman, and will do anything and everything to make sure her clients are 110% satisfied with the product they are getting! PICK LAUREN! ALWAYS!

We were fortunate to find Lauren via Zillow when we started our search to relocate from CA to TX a few months ago. Lauren spend many hours in helping us find our new home in Georgetown, TX. We are grateful for her wonderful ability to explain the real estate process and to keep us up-to-date with what was happening. Her careful attention to detail was fantastic! Lauren is personable, knowledgeable and thorough, and we would not hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone.
K. Little
My boyfriend and I worked with Lauren to purchase my first home and I can't say enough good things about her! She was super knowledgeable, patient, and extremely flexible with her time! She went above and beyond to find us the right home and she truly became a friend in the process. Buying a home in this market is challenging and she made it painless and straightforward. We've already referred her to friends and family and will continue to refer her to everyone we know!

One of the most professional, productive, and satisfying business relationships I have ever experienced. From first contact, Lauren made it clear to me that she would be an unwavering advocate of my real estate needs and proved that advocacy through closing. Prior to speaking with Lauren, my family and I had never been to the San Marcos area and thus had no idea where to begin looking for our new home. We gave Lauren a fairly in depth wish list and she whole heartedly took it from there. Within hours, she provided us with more than a dozen solid properties for us to consider. After scheduling our first trip to the area to look at homes, Lauren was able to plan out and execute several days of property visits and walk-throughs. She was not only understanding and accepting of our particular likes and dislikes of homes, but used that information to quickly come up with new and better options for us. After selecting the perfect home for our family, Lauren went to great lengths to ensure all parties involved fulfilled their obligations in a timely manner to meet our desired closing date. Her communication skills are truly top-notch. There was never any question in my mind as to where the mortgage process was due to daily updates provided by Lauren. When she recognized a problem or foresaw a potential issue, she was immediately on top of it, coordinating a rapid and effective solution. Lauren put herself out there to really be the only point of contact I would need throughout the entire home buying process. I can honestly say, without reservation, that Lauren was an absolute asset and essential in leading my family's successful search for the perfect home. I enthusiastically recommend her services to anyone in need of real estate services.
