Lauren Stark - Realtor

Feeling very seen by this review 🥹

I got into real estate to do things differently - to actually put my clients first and make the process feel easier.

Because my first homebuying experience wasn’t that.
Here’s to doing it differently - calm, focused, and client-first.

The full review is below ✨

We had a wonderful experience working with Lauren Stark during the purchase of our duplex. From the beginning, Lauren was supportive, patient, and genuinely invested in helping us make the right decision for our situation.

What stood out most was her no-pressure approach. She gave us the space to think through the process, answered our questions, and never made us feel rushed or pushed in any direction. That kind of professionalism and respect meant a great deal to us.

Lauren also went above and beyond in helping us navigate the process and connecting us with the right support along the way. Her guidance was steady, thoughtful, and trustworthy from start to finish, and she helped make the entire experience feel smoother and more manageable.

Beyond her professionalism, Lauren is simply a kind and genuine person. She brought sincerity, calm, and a reassuring presence to what can often be a stressful experience. We are very grateful for her help and would highly recommend Lauren Stark to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and truly caring realtor.

Coming soon ✨

Set along a quiet channel with direct access to Lake Mendota, this property is less about what is, and more about what could be. A thoughtful renovation or a fully custom vision… both would be amazing here!

Under contract on this duplex for my buyers!

Sometimes the best deals aren’t the flashiest ones -they’re the ones with untapped potential. This property is currently significantly under-rented, giving my buyers a great opportunity to increase cash flow and build equity over time.

Can’t wait to see the transformation ✨

So happy for my clients on getting this gorgeous home under contract. It’s going to be an incredible second home for them - and keep an eye out for it on Airbnb 👀

Pro tip: Twilight photos on Airbnb and VRBO often get more clicks because they feel warmer and more inviting - especially for cabins and lake homes. But don’t be afraid to try them with any type of rental!

Months of focused searching in a very specific school district. When the right property came up, we moved fast and wrote a clean, competitive offer - and beat out competition. Preparation + strategy makes all the difference. So excited for these buyers!

Starting 2026 with a lot of gratitude ✨

2025 was an incredible year, and I’m so thankful for the clients and friends who trusted me with their home and investment goals. This year is already shaping up to be even better, and I’m excited for the new properties and people ahead!

Who’s ready to buy this year?

SOLD! ✨
A huge congrats to my first-time buyers (and dear friends!) on landing their amazing new home. This one came with its fair share of bumps in the road, but they stayed calm, positive, and trusted the process all the way through.

Now they’ve got the perfect house full of character and potential to call home. Can’t wait to see what they do with it. 🏡💫

✨ One year and 40 glowing reviews later ✨
We couldn’t be happier with our little cabin and all the amazing guests who’ve experienced what a special, magical place it is.

Last year, we came up here for Chris’s birthday and explored the area for the first time — we still had a lot of work to do to get it ready for guests. This year, the cabin is booked most of November (🥹!), but we snuck in an amazing fall stay a few weeks ago. We had no idea this is what ‘one year later’ would look like.

Happy birthday to my favorite person ❤️ Excited to see what the next year brings — for us, for our family, and for this place.

If you’ve been dreaming about buying your own getaway, home, or Airbnb — let’s make 2026 your year! 🌲🏡

Closing day for my out-of-state buyer! 🏡 We found the perfect home - beautifully renovated and restored in one of Madison’s most charming neighborhoods. She didn’t see it in person until the final walkthrough, proof that it is possible to buy confidently from a distance!

She plans to enjoy the home when she’s in town and renting it when she’s not - everyone knows I love an investor mindset 🙌

Huge thanks to for being a fantastic listing agent and to his family for the gorgeously well done renovation.
