That is where real estate came in. Working with new and old clients allows Jennifer to follow her passion and strive to provide an excellent client experience.

Lauren Auresto grew up in Brookfield and knew that she wanted to return to the area to raise her family and work. She now resides in Newtown, after falling in love with its small town charm, with her husband Stephen, son, and daughter. Having grown up one town over she is able to call upon an incredible network of people that are able to assist clients through the entire home buying process. Though she works with an array of clients from many walks of life, her greatest satisfaction is from working with first time homebuyers. She pays close attention to the needs and wants of buyers, and recognizes that purchasing a home is not a decision made in one day. Lauren takes pride on being aware of the market and clients’ needs so she can match them with the perfect home.

Lauren received her B.A. in Corporate Communications with minors in Business and Spanish from the University of Texas at Austin.
