about Lauryn Dempsey ...
Your Denver to Boulder real estate expert!
I’ve always loved Real Estate and I have my dad to thank for my decision to work in the industry. I would often help him with home improvement projects as a kid and he would talk to me about the importance of buying property as soon as I was able. I took these lessons to heart, and one of the first things I did after graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy in 2008 bought my first home, a condo in San Diego. Not only did I love the home buying experience, but I learned early on that homeownership helped me build wealth and instilled in me a sense of pride in what I was capable of doing on my own.

Testimonials
What our clients say
"This was our first time buying a home and we are so glad we had Lauryn there to guide us through the process. She had great advice about things we never would have thought of on our own. Lauryn is also very familiar with the local area and has great contacts for all things related to home repairs an… d upgrades, which was incredibly useful during the inspection process. When we were on the fence about making a decision, she was able to quickly gather the data we needed to make the best choice for our situation. On top of knowing her stuff inside and out, she's nice, friendly, and relatable! We are so glad that Zillow got us in touch with her and would highly, highly recommend that you work with her if you can."
"(2020) Lauryn is the ideal realtor for first time home buyers. She has the ability to make this extremely daunting process feel easy and exciting. Her tenacity, exceptional organization, and personal dedication to us as clients made our first home buying experience not only possible, but also enjoya… ble. We highly recommend Lauryn as a realtor! We initially found Lauryn through recommendation of a friend. As a military family, we appreciated her prior military experience and knew she would be able to help us navigate our first-time home buying experience using a VA loan. During our first meeting, she clearly laid out the process for getting started and was extremely helpful in setting expectations and giving guidance on our finances. She is very knowledgeable about the greater Denver area with respect to tax laws, future constructions plans, and local amenities. We immediately started looking at homes - a lot of homes. We knew we wanted a single-family home in the Arvada area; Lauryn did an excellent job finding houses for us to compare and was quite generous with her time. She pushed us to look at houses with different styles, neighborhoods, and price points, which led us to feel extremely confident in the home we ultimately purchased. When we found the home we loved, she helped us navigate the decision to make an offer. We quickly learned there was a competing offer, and her swift actions and tenacious negotiating skills led to a strong offer and it being accepted within hours. Despite the house being on the market a short time and the existence of competing offers, she still was able to help us secure the home under the appraisal value, and we moved into a house with instant equity. She is the sole reason that we now own a home we adore and have continuously growing excitement for. Once our offer was accepted, Lauryn’s organization helped keep us on track through closing. She sent weekly email updates, was always available to answer questions, provide meaningful feedback, and give advice through all steps of the process. Even after closing, she continues to help us with our home related needs, such as providing recommendations for contractors. She even shoveled the driveway for us once because she knew that I would physically be unable to! We believe we have found our family home for the next few decades but will certainly seek Lauryn out when we decide to purchase investment property or vacation homes. She is a spectacular agent, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with our first-time home buying experience with her.

We stand by our original review! We absolutely love our home and Lauryn. We've found an amazing community within our neighborhood, and our home is still just right for our family. We love keeping in touch with Lauryn during the community events that she hosts. She always has great advice and recommendations when it comes to home improvement!"
"Lauryn was awesome. The whole process went so well and everything just fell into place with very little effort from us, which I attribute to all of the hard work and effort put in by Lauryn and her team! First weekend in the new home and we are loving it!"
"Lauryn has assisted me by taking up the challenge of selling 4 rental properties and finding upgraded properties to exchange. Throughout this mission which was completed during the pandemic, Lauryn was very professional and honest with all of the transactions! Her background as being a Navy Academy … graduate was exemplified by her discipline and determination!"
"My husband and I loved working with Lauryn - we were admittedly picky and were willing to wait for the right place, and Lauryn stuck with us while being patient, knowledgeable, and helpful. We ended up finding a place that we love after several months of looking! We appreciated her attention to deta… il while looking at homes, as well her immense list of contacts for various items we would want to update or change in homes we viewed. We've since referred several friends to Lauryn as a realtor."
"As first time home buyers, we had many, many questions. Lauryn offered exceptional service which allowed us to feel comfortable every step of the way. Lauryn was unwaveringly patient and focused. She sought to understand what we were looking for and moved at our pace. Her accessibility and clear com… munication allowed us to feel confident in our decision-making. She effectively educated us on the process, emerging trends in the market, and coached us, along with referrals to subject matter experts, every step of the way. We believe our home buying process was more efficient and informed with Lauryn at the helm. After such high quality attention and intention in our transaction, we imagine we'd be disappointed working with anyone else in the future. Lauryn is simply the best!"
"We were matched with Lauryn through Zillow's feature. We did not know what to expect as we are from out of town and knew nobody. We were extremely happy with her assistance and impressed with her. She had great insights into the local real estate market. She explained the Denver process of buying a … home and lead us through each step. She has great communication skills and always kept us up to date on what was happening and things we needed to be doing. She worked closely with us to negotiate the asking price, needed repairs, and other concessions. We felt like we had a real advocate on our side."
"We truly lucked into meeting Lauryn through Zillow. She's been so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Really listened to our questions and had thoughtful answers, even taking the time to find any answers she didn't have already (which was rare in itself!). We've already had friends use Lauryn's ex… pertise to find a home of their own and will definitely continue to promote her as often as we can! In this crazy Denver market, you absolutely need Lauryn on your side to find the home of your dreams!"
"We worked with Lauryn for the purchase of our first (Colorado) home. When the market turned in 2020, we worked with her again to sell our home and buy a new one. I really can't say enough wonderful things about her and 8z. We were so excited to buy but also hesitant because we had worked with 2 real… tors in the past who gave us some ... headaches. Lauryn was always punctual with responses and answered every single little question we had. She knows so much about the market in our area and she also had great advice for the couple issues we ran into. Even though we've already bought the home, she's still helping us with questions we have. I really cannot recommend her enough and we'll be going with her in the future if we plan to sell/buy again."
"Lauryn worked tirelessly to get me the house of my dreams. The Denver market is extremely competitive and there are a lot of obstacles for a first time homebuyer. I felt guilty at times with how much effort Lauryn was willing to go to, to ensure my success in overcoming those obstacles. I could not … be happier with the process. Thank you again!"
