We worked with Lauren Kavanagh for just about a year during our search for a house in Mattapoisett Village. Through conversations emails and responding to notifications of new listings Lauren got to know what we were looking for - location square footage age and condition. She knew when a property didn't meet our criteria - whether it was too big lacked a basement was just outside of the Village or needed more repairs than we wanted to tackle. Lauren worked with us to learn more about potential properties and waited patiently with us for the right one to come on the market.It doesn't need mentioning but the way we do everything has changed during the pandemic. Lauren had scheduled a 15 minute viewing of a property listed by another realtor. She greeted us 15 minutes early with a printout of the property and at the designated quarter-hour led us through the house from the basement to the attic never rushing us but keeping us on schedule. She pointed out all the details noted on the printout as we progressed through the house and identified where the addition had been built onto the original house. By the end of the viewing we knew it wasn't the right property for us but Lauren spent more time with us outside answering our questions about the town the Village and the real estate market.When the property we bought came on the market Lauren again did her research. I think our interest in it surprised her as much as it surprised us! It is in the Village and has lots of charm but it's larger than we had envisioned. When we decided to make an offer Lauren facilitated everything and two days later she let us know it had been accepted. She guided us through each step right up to the closing.Lauren is friendly knowlegable and professional. We are more than pleased that she has kept in touch and continues to assist us as we settle in. We feel fortunate to have met her and highly recommend her as a realtor.
