Lauren is a real estate genius! She strongly advocated for my best interest, acted professionally and was very quick to respond any questions I had. The real estate landscape has been a bit uncertain with high interest rates and I had concerns about selling my home. However, Lauren handled the situation like it was a cakewalk and exceeded all my expectations. She staged my home with great taste, had it sold within 30 days with multiple offers and above asking price! Extremely impressive! I can’t recommend her enough and you would be extremely lucky to have her.

If you are buying or selling real estate, you want Lauren Narozniak.

I am the “type A precise details and deep dive questions” sort of person. My wife is the “feels and fashion” side of our equation. Despite this, we both found Lauren to be an absolute dream. She was communicative and available throughout and we never had to wait for a reply. She met us in person without hesitation whenever asked. Her sense not only of the housing market but also more esoteric matters like how to interpret seller actions and asks spoke volumes about her experience and professionalism. We had to move quickly on our offer and she facilitated a next day negotiation and acceptance that had to be seen to be believed.
Perhaps the most impressive aspect was when it came to home inspection and she correctly predicted (and explained) all of the items that would appear on the ultimate report… and then negotiated the seller corrections we felt were needed.
Through this process we felt we were Lauren’s # 1 priority, and no matter what came up, she would have it handled. Our purchase experience could safely be described as a Cinderella story with how quickly and easily (and under market!) it went. If that’s true, Lauren Narozniak is our Fairy Godmother!

This was my first time buying a home and Lauren was not only beyond helpful but super patient with me as I was learning every day.
I was so happy to have her and her team supporting me and helping me get my first home.

This review is specifically for Lauren Narozniak.

My husband and I worked with Lauren to purchase our first home. As first time home buyers, we needed someone who was patient and knowledgeable to guide us through everything step by step. We made sure to interview several agents and Lauren stood out above the others. From the first call with her, we knew she would be a fierce partner to help navigate us through this competitive market.

We expected a long and grueling process to be able to purchase a home and instead, Lauren helped us secure a purchase in 2 months. This is almost unheard of (especially in SoCal!) and we 100% attribute it to Lauren being the amazing agent she is. She communicated with us every step of the way; we were never in the dark and unaware of what was going on. She is quick to respond to emails/calls. She is not pushy in any way and honestly wants to make sure you are happy and comfortable.

I would absolutely recommend Lauren to any and all buyers looking for a trustworthy, kind, patient, and communicative agent but especially to any first time buyers who need a little more hand holding like we did.

As a first time homebuyer, the process can feel overwhelming and intimidating, but I am so grateful that Lauren was by my side walking me through all of the details, answering my questions, proactively anticipating my needs and all of our 'next steps' from day one until long as we closed. I cannot say enough about how amazing and painless this process way, but that was all Lauren and her incredible team.

The short version is we were a first time home buyer and Lauren is magic. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her! We've in fact already done so to a few friends.

We went into this experience with little to no experience of our own. We had long wanted to own a home for our growing family but often felt there were so many things involved it honestly didn't seem possible. We spoke with a few real estate agents and Lauren clicked immediately with us. When we spoke to Lauren she immediately identified with our goals and helped us to understand what was possible. She clearly knew what our best approach would be and she had the experience to be honest with us about our expectations. She was very friendly and made us feel confident in our options at each and every step of the way. She responded promptly to our questions and explained many many things we didn't quite understand. We now have a home that feels right and we couldn't have gotten here without her.

I would like to petition Yelp to implement a 6 star system so we could give her that rating.

I worked with Lauren over several months when I was looking to buy a condo in the westside of LA. She has very deep knowledge and insight into the housing/condo market in LA. She also helped me understand the home-buying process by explaining complex things in simple terms. I found it easy to communicate with Lauren. She is very responsive and always on top of her things. She planned multiple showings for me and she also found the property I ended up buying finally! We were able to close well in advance of the initial estimated closing date, thanks to Lauren's phenomenal help and amazing work ethic!

Lauren was the best! Super knowledgeable, always easy to get in touch with, really went to bat for us! Would recommend her to everyone and anyone looking to buy or sell.

I was very impressed with Lauren's expertise as a real estate agent, she really listened to us and helped us find exactly what we were looking for.

Lauren is very responsive, knowledgeable and well-connected to local resources. A great agent for first time homebuyers. She does not overwhelm you with the process, takes your needs into consideration and stays optimistic throughout. We felt very well represented.

We love our new home!

We would easily recommend Lauren to anyone who is looking for a stress-free home buying experience.

Lauren was an amazing realtor took care of everything and made the process so easy she knows her community and knows how to take care of her clients. If you have a chance she’s a great resource.

Listen, STOP looking for a real estate representative and hire Lauren now!

I just closed my first condo in the saturated Los Angeles housing market, and Lauren was there every step of the way. From the initial offer to the closing, she consistently worked on making my homeownership dream come true.

During the past few weeks, Lauren: (I) recommended affordable properties to me, (ii) listened to my concerns about said properties, (iii) drove around Los Angeles with me until I found the right property, (iv) advised me on how to package a competitive offer, (v) explained the seemingly endless contractual agreements, (vi) drove to the site as many times as necessary for inspections and all (even when I could not make it), (viii) was extremely responsive to any and all inquiries, and (ix) negotiated favorable terms on my behalf. I can keep going, but I am sure you get the point.

Lauren was referred to me by a trusted friend, and I am just so glad I listened. HIRE Lauren, you will not regret it.

Lauren Narozniak was wonderful to work with and did a great job with my home purchase! I've done several transactions with Halton Pardee and had met Lauren before but this was the first time I'd worked with her. She was out of town during part of the process for an emergency but did such a great job coordinating everything that I forgot that she wasn't in LA. She even has a good understanding of all the utility and plumbing stuff. She was always reachable and even though I wasn't one of the higher end clients of Pardee I felt like I was always in good hands. People like Lauren are the reason I keep using Pardee; everybody there I've dealt with has been very skilled and professional!

Lauren walked me through the process of purchasing a home for the first time, and I cannot recommend her enough. She took the time to educate me every step of the way, from choosing a neighborhood to closing on my new home. Her communication throughout the entire process allowed me to feel at ease and excited about buying a house. Furthermore, her extensive knowledge of the LA area was extremely helpful.

We cannot recommend Lauren enough! This is the second time she has helped us find a home for our family, and she once again exceeded all of our expectations of what a realtor should be.

Buying a home is always a stressful process. But Lauren has a way of making it seem easy. She was available to us at all times and answered every question we had (and believe me, there were a lot). She is so knowledgeable about the process, from beginning to end, and she also knows the market in and around LA inside and out. She was always positive and reassuring.

While we love our new home and don’t want to leave anytime soon, we look forward to using Lauren again when that time comes.

She is our realtor for life!

I highly recommend using Lauren to help you buy a home! This was our first time going through this process, and Lauren helped explain everything to us in a way that was easy to understand. She was incredibly responsive, knowledgable, and attentive. She will answer all your questions and be with you at every step of the way. We couldn't have purchased our home without her and would definitely recommend her.

Bought a Single Family home in 2020 in Woodland hills, Woodland hills, CA.

She’s made my family a lot of money in real estate! I’ve bought two homes now with Lauren and she’s the best. She’s such a pro, has great taste, impeccable integrity and she’s on top of it. If there’s a deal to be made or a way to save money, she will find it!

The first house we bought with her was in an up and coming area where the property has since almost doubled in value over the 5 years we’ve owned it. In that original purchase, she negotiated $12.5k discount off the offer price while we were in escrow and ultimately got us an already flipped 3 bed 1 bath house with a huge yard near downtown for a steal. I thought that was an unbeatable deal until yesterday when we closed on our second house. The second property was a very complicated conservatorship sale in a totally different area of town (the valley). She showed us lots of houses for comparison so we knew the market well. She even talked contractors into letting us tour homes before they hit the market. When we decided to pursue a conservatorship sale she walked us through it every step of the way. We had to pay for inspections in advance of the court date, so she found us the best people to inspect and give us reno quotes. When we got to court she managed the process and represented us infront of the judge in an auction situation where we walked away with a home with a pool a spa and a view for $100k under what the house appraised for! That’s totally unheard of in this market! What I like most about Lauren is it doesn’t just end with the sale. She’s helping us find renovators to fix up our dream home and helping us find tenants to lease our first home. I totally trust Lauren’s advice and eye for real estate. She’s a real estate partner from beginning to end and she’ll always be my “Go-to” agent!

Lauren was such a pleasure to work with! I really didn't make it easy for her because I hadn't yet settled on a side of Los Angeles I wanted to live in so she had to cast a very wide net! All in all, we found my dream home and she was quick to respond to make the offer happen before anyone else could! She navigated every situation or obstacle we faced with grace and professionalism and I was so grateful to have her on my team! She even offered to place the apartment I was moving out of onto Zillow for me to help me find a new tenant so I didn't have to pay to break my lease. We found a new tenant for that within the month! She went above and beyond to fight for me, make sure I was getting my needs met in this transaction and was a delight to visit with every time we got to see her! I cannot recommend Lauren or Halton Pardee more!

Lauren had very impressive knowledge and negotiation skill on real estate transactions, she is very responsible and have quick response to take care of our issues and problems such as real estate rules and local government laws for buying our Santa Monica condominium, we rate her as "a very professional and integrity real estate agent", she is the best agent that we had known so far to represent us to buy the property, if you need to buy or sell any real estate, I recommend you that she is the agent that you can count on..

We loved working with Lauren! She was very knowledgeable on the area & helped us negotiate a great deal. Would highly recommend her & now consider her a friend!

Lauren is a jack of all trades, master of all. There's literally nothing about buying a home she doesn't know about. Not sure how she keeps up with everything while also being extremely responsive. She will help you with anything from purchasing to selling to having honest conversations on decisions that will benefit your investment in a home. Thank you.

So helpful- incredible hospitable and very persistent. They did whatever it took to get the job done- resulting in a smooth transition as we sold our home. Very grateful! Highly recommended

I called Lauren after realizing that my negotiation with the Sellers Agent was going nowhere. As a result, I benefitted from her in-depth knowledge and promptness to my requests and questions regarding the complex web of maneuvering through the Loan process and negotiation with the Seller's Agent. She has performed as a true professional and always calm. She guided me through the turns and twist of inspection and appraisal documents. Her demeaner was unquestionable and I would recommend her to my friends and family anytime. In my line of business, she would earn a Gold Standard for her efficiency and result oriented approach.

Lauren was invaluable in my journey to find the perfect home. We initially connected at an open house she was running and hit it off. From there she helped me search for properties on the westside. Lauren has the best can-do attitude and is very knowledgable about the local west LA area. Her communications skills and responsiveness are impeccable. When I was ready to make offers, she was quick-acting and made me feel tucked in and updated every step of the way. She was in constant communication so I knew what to expect. This was so appreciated, given that first-time home buying can be a daunting, intimidating experience. Additionally she had to deal with some drama with the other party's agency and she handled everything in stride and got the job done. Overall, Lauren has great character and is trustworthy - important qualities to have in an industry that can be quite cutthroat, I couldn't be happier in my new home and I owe it all to Lauren.

I just purchased a home in Redondo Beach and the process was amazing with Lauren Narozniak as my real estate agent. Lauren is extremely knowledgeable, patient, strategic and a genuinely nice person.Thank goodness I managed to meet Lauren. I felt like I had a friend helping me throughout the process. She would literally text me a seconds back if I had any question and would respond even when traveling! I also appreciated that she also had no hesitations backing out a deal when I had mixed feelings on a home. I would highly really recommend working with Lauren to anyone and Halton Pardee + Partners. After the purchase of the home we received a beautiful gift from Halton Pardee + Partners. The CEO also took time to write us a very sweet email. This is definitely a team to consider when purchasing a home or selling. I would definitely work with Halton Pardee + Partners in the future!
