Lauren was great throughout the home buying process. She listened to our likes and needs, and she respected our budget. With her patience and persistence we found the right house, and she helped and supported us every step of the way through closing. I highly recommend Lauren!

Lauren helped us sell my late sister's home in New Bedford. Her handling of preparing the house for sale, locating services to clean the home, remove household stuff and general preparations was excellent. We were able to sell the house for more than the listed price and only one weekend was required for showing the home.

Lauren is a thorough professional and a delight to work with. Highly recommended.

From the moment Lauren met with me to discuss the sale of my family's home, she appeared professional, pleasant, experienced, knowledgeable of the current market environment, and she developed an intelligent and effective marketing plan. She did her homework and made every step of the process appear seamless. As a result, the property went under agreement within days at a great selling price. Along the way, she was an excellent communicator and I never once questioned the status of the process. In addition, she was patient in accurately responding to my many questions. She should be considered a trusted business partner.

As first-time home buyers, my wife and I couldn't have asked for a better realtor.

Lauren was responsive and helpful, guiding us through one of life's biggest decisions - completely virtual! I never thought it'd be possible to buy a home over the internet in a long distance move (TX to RI), but Lauren enabled us to evaluate the market, stay on top of the newest listings, and build our home-buying team (inspector, loan officer, & attorney). And, she did it all with empathy, with a full understanding of how stressful this experience can be.

And, lest I ignore one of major selling points for us: As a member of the LGBT community, I was confident that Lauren would fight for my wife and I when needed during the tenuous home buying experience.

As new home owners in the RI area, if we need to ever relocate and find a new home, I would get in touch with Lauren immediately.

Lauren and the Founds Team went well beyond what we expected. Extremely attentive and responsive. Highly recommend them if you want top service. They knew what we wanted and needed in our forever home and found it for us. Even after our closing they checked in with us to be sure our move went well. We highly recommend them!

Lauren and Maryellen are amazing! They were recommended to my wife and I by a friend who recently worked with them, and now we understand why. Their knowledge and experience made our house hunting so much easier. They made themselves available to all our questions during the process. With their help, my wife and I found our dream house, the one that weve always wanted and needed. We cant say enough about them, and we highly recommend them for your house hunting.

Working with Lauren and MaryEllen Founds was such a pleasure. They went above and beyond what we were expecting. And the end result of us finding the perfect family to move into our very loved 1870 home, was the icing on the cake. I would reccomend the Founds Team over and over again.

Lauren and Maryellen were so great to work with. They were professional, personable, and they really listened to what I was looking for in a home. Buying a house in the current real estate climate was tough, especially for a first time home buyer, and they remained patient and supportive throughout the process.

I have to say working with Lauren and Mary Ellen was the best decision I could have made when selling my home and finding our families forever home. We couldn't have picked a worst time to try to buy and sell during a Pandemic but the effort and dedication from the Founds team made everything so much easier. I can never thank them enough for all their help and dedication. I would and I do recommend them to everyone that is looking to buy or sell their homes

I can't say enough amazing things about the Founds Team! Lauren and MaryEllen were there every step of our house hunting journey. From house hunting, going to open houses, answering our ignorant questions, and finally the purchase of first home. It was by accident that we had the pleasure of working with them. Looking back, we are so glad that we had the opportunity to work with these lovely ladies. If you are looking for down to earth and someone who is always going above and beyond to satisfy their customers, than these are the Real Estate Agents for you!

The Founds team are awesome individuals! They are super amiable, reliable, and punctual. Working with them became more like a friendship, rather than an agent trying to have us buy with them. They went above and beyond to ensure we got the house we wanted within our budget. Thank you to the Founds team that found our home!

Lauren and MaryEllen were AMAZING to work with. If i had the ability to underline and put stars around that word I honestly would. They were SO helpful, immensely LGBT friendly, considerate and on time. We worked with another realtor before them who was rude, uncomfortable with us being gay and frequently late, but from our initial interview with Lauren and MaryEllen, they created a rapport that was comfortable and made us feel like long time friends. They both have a great sense of humor which made looking at houses fun and amusing. We had a relatively low budget but this didn't bother them at all and they willingly and actively looked for houses that would fit our budget, wants and needs. They helped us branch out into areas we hadn't considered but where we found a wonderful house for us that we love. They made the whole process low stress with their supportive and knowledgeable approach. They are the kind of team that checks in on you with genuine interest and concern and who you want to have over for dinner, drinks or as friends once you've finished working with them. I am already recommending them to all my friends who are looking for houses because working with them was such an amazing experience. This is a genuine 5 star team who will work not only for but with you and deserves to get all the due credit for the work they do.

From minute one of being in touch, they listened to what we were looking for, diligent in finding houses for us to view, advocated for us as clients ar every juncture and ended up finding our first home! Lauren and Maryellen truly care about their clients. Not only great real estate agwnts, they are truly wonderful humans. I would have zero hesitation in recommending them to others. i cannot speak highly enough of the Founds Team.

Lauren and Maryellen, were the best, very professional and went above and beyond to help us find the right home for our family. They went so far as to do a video and send it to me becasue I was unable to be in town to see the house. This house became the home we bought and have moved into. They went the extra mile to see we got the right home that fit us. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new home, or selling there's.
