Outside of real estate Lauren loves spending time with her husband Tory, two gorgeous daughters and far reaching network of network of friends whom frequently started out as clients and soon became lifelong friends.

• Lauren MacRae was recommended to us by a friend and we were so grateful that she was. She made the entire process stress-free and seamless. Her excellent communication, amazing responsiveness, and thorough regular updates kept us fully informed and at ease. With her local expertise, clever marketing, and friendly, relaxed approach, we knew our campaign was in the best hands.

  D and K Holland

• Lauren was such a wonderful asset to us in finding and securing our dream house. She was exceptionally professional and knowledgeable, but also willing to go the extra mile to help us get the result we wanted. She was very patient with the many questions s and challenges along the way, and her great sense of humor meant we could have a laugh together once it was all over.

  E Bolwell

• We have brought and sold a few properties with Lauren over the years, each being a pleasurable experience and a positive outcome. Lauren goes above and beyond what you'd expect a 'normal real estate agent' to do. To say Lauren makes selling easy and manageable is an understatement - there is literally nothing that is too much trouble. Everything from minor maintenance to staging and solid advice, she takes care of it all. We have recommended Lauren to friends and will continue to sing her praises. She can help you find the right property and also help you sell - she truly can do it all! Once again Lauren, thank you from us both.

  K Wilmshurst

• Lauren was was keen and taken with our property right from the first time we contacted her about selling. Her knowledge on the process of selling gave plenty of options, together with other property prices which had recently sold in the area, gave a great guide line on how the house should be priced. Her enthusiasm in promotion and open days meant we were able to negotiate a price that pleased all. Fully recommend her as agent to others and any further sales we may have.

  Colin and Fiona Hicks

• Lauren is a breath of fresh air to the real estate market. Super efficient, does what she says (and when) and communicates very well.
  Thankyou for getting us the offer within a week of listing, but still working on the sale right to the end.

  Darren and Donna Johnston

• Lauren's excellent knowledge of current market conditions, culminating in a successful sale, was wonderful. I highly recommend her as she is a highly professional agent who anticipates what is required at every step of the way. Her exemplary support and advice throughout the sales process made for a very positive vendor experience.

  Valerie Gyde

• Lauren went above & beyond - nothing was too difficult, which helped immensely with the smooth sale of our mother’s estate property. Her communication with us was fantastic. We would highly recommend her.

  Inez Tucker

• I had a great experience with Lauren. She was nice and professional throughout. Although the final selling price wasn't as high as we hoped, it still went above her estimate, which was a pleasant surprise. Lauren prioritized a quick and smooth sale over pushing too hard for a high price, making the process easy and stress-free. If you want a friendly and efficient real estate experience, I'd recommend working with her.

  Vit Spinka

• Lauren was so helpful, lots of reports sent to us, nothing was too much trouble. Kept us informed from day one. Lovely rapport with her. Made us feel very comfortable. She was very knowledgeable and professional. Lovely person.

  Lynn Williams

• Once again, Lauren provided a professional, stress free service. Nothing was an issue and Lauren made sure to remove any potential stress, provide fabulous advice and keep me well informed. Couldn't have been happier with the result.

  Roni

• Lauren is lovely, and she was committed to help us achieve the best outcome for the sale of our house. She navigated us through the selling process and kept us well informed during the marketing campaign. Her knowledge of the market, plus her clear and timely communication really helped us make a decision when it came to accepting offers. Thanks for all your help, Lauren!

  Ana and Kauri

• Lauren helped us to purchase our first home! We can’t thank Lauren enough for her fantastic communication and help at every step of the way. As first home buyers there was a lot that we didn’t know and Lauren made this whole process as easy and stress free as possible!

  H Smith and D Ellis

• Lauren made the whole process of selling very easy. She is an excellent communicator who kept me in the loop every step of the way. Her practical and friendly approach was really appreciated, and she really works hard for you."

  David Pirie

• Having just sold our house at 170 Gloucester Rd. in this climate of rising interest rates and falling prices is a credit to the Eves Real Estate team of Lauren MacRAe and Charlotte Gardener. After trying the market with offer at Auction the team launched an intensive campaign of weekly open homes and private viewings to achieve a successful sale. Well done team.
  
  

  Gerry Baillie

• Wow Lauren is the most amazing person/real estate agent I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I last sold my house 22 years ago and things have sure changed since then, or is it just that Lauren made it so easy for me. Lauren was friendly, kind, and reassuring from the first time we met. I can honestly say I really didn’t have to do much at all to get my house sold. Lauren does everything. She found me a buyer within the first few open homes and secured the final sale at an excellent price. Her natural ability to explain everything to me was comforting and the whole process went so smoothly with very little effort on my part. Lauren has blown me away with her kindness, patience, excellent knowledge of the market and her empathy and sense of humour which actually made selling fun. To be honest, I will miss her.

  Sandra Davenport

• I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking at selling their house. I was living overseas and Lauren made the whole process easier. She was very professional, always available when I needed her, even though we were on very different time zones. She made a sometimes stressful process less stressful.

  Susy Butler

• When my family and I had to sell our mother’s house in Papamoa, because we all lived out of town, we needed an agent whom we could trust to handle all matters relating to the sale in our absence.
  
  Lauren did that very well. She liaised with our house stylist to get the property ready for sale, she was very good at keeping us informed of developments, was accessible and efficient, and very importantly, we believe she achieved a good price for us.
  

  Linda

• Lauren has been absolutely wonderful to deal with and made the process of selling our property straightforward and seamless.
  As we live in Auckland I needed a reliable real estate agent who could help us to sell our investment property in Papamoa.
  Lauren has always kept us in the loop for everything. Also she was very open and honest with her feedback and opinion and this helped us to choose right strategy to sell our property.
  We highly recommend Lauren to anyone selling or buying a house in Tauranga area.
  

  Rose

• As Lauren MacRae is a local, I felt that this was a very important benefit when choosing someone to market my property in Papamoa. I had seen Lauren’s sales results over the previous six months and liked the way she presented the properties and herself in a professional, confident and personable way. Lauren organised the marketing, staging of the property and getting in tradespeople where needed. Her quick response to any questions I had was second to none. Lauren’s willingness to assist with some ‘outside of the box’ details was a godsend! Nothing seemed to be a problem. I would not hesitate to use Lauren again.

  L Warneford

• We had sold our own investment properties in the past but wanted to use a real estate agent to sell our beloved family home (that we spent 14 years renovating). We have seen many agents in action over the years and know they are not created equally so we made sure we did our homework when choosing. The decision to use Lauren was an excellent one and we truly believe she is one of the best in town. Lauren is diligent, thorough, knowledgeable and highly organised. She is an exceptional communicator; ensures you understand every part of the process and keeps you well in the loop at all times. I am quite particular and I’m sure I was painful at times throughout the process. Thankfully Lauren is very patient and calm and nothing is too much trouble for her. On the sales front she is super professional but really down to earth and approachable. Lauren spent a lot of time with our potential buyers and got back to them with each and every question they had. As well as selling with Lauren, we have also purchased two properties with her help over the past year. Of course, her service was impeccable and we always enjoyed viewing houses with Lauren, she is a lot of fun and such a pleasure to be around.
  If you want to be properly looked after in a sometimes daunting, often stressful environment of buying and selling houses – USE LAUREN! Lauren loves what she does and it shows. Her dedication and skill are second to none and we can’t recommend her more highly.
  

  Carla and TJ

• After recently relocating to The Mount, I engaged Lauren to help me to find a new family home. She worked tirelessly accompanying me to Open Homes and arranging numerous other private viewings. Lauren's calm manner certainly helped to alleviate some of the stress from the process! She was always professional, knowledgeable and available to answer questions and problem solve where necessary. Lauren is very authentic and down to earth, she exudes a real empathy and understanding for others' situations. It's a very competitive market, but if you want someone who has a genuine desire to navigate the complexities of her client, call Lauren.

  D Barr

• We first met Lauren as newcomers to the Papamoa area seeking to purchase a home there. Lauren impressed us immediately with her cheerful upbeat manner and enthusiastic yet professional approach to the task of finding the right property for us. She quickly assessed our needs and kept in regular contact with updates of suitable new listings, ensuring we were able to view anything new to the market at the earliest opportunity. We found Lauren’s extensive knowledge of the local area invaluable and she showed no hesitation in presenting us with any extra information required. We felt like valued clients and no request was ever too much trouble. When we eventually found the right property she guided us fully in all aspects of the purchase process, ensuring that we were thoroughly informed.
  Lauren is certainly an outstanding real estate representative with exemplary skills and we feel very fortunate to have had the pleasure of purchasing through her. We would have absolutely no hesitation recommending Lauren to anyone seeking to buy or sell property.
  

  Peter and Angela

• Some people just make everything come together.
  That's what we have found with Lauren MacRae from EVES Papamoa. We have bought and sold four properties with Lauren's help. Whether it be helping us find our next project or achieving top dollar through fantastic marketing. Her professionalism, local knowledge and commitment to doing the best for us, has given us confidence within the local market.
  This has resulted in our last 3 properties breaking street records.
  We look forward to working with Lauren in the near future.
  
  

  Ant and Robyn (Local Flippers)

• “ I recently placed my property in Papamoa on the market, I was thinking this would be more difficult given I reside in Auckland. I was referred to Lauren MacRae of Eves Papamoa by a friend. I needed someone that would communicate clearly and quickly, be on the same page as me with regards to current tenants to ensure that the process of marketing and selling was as least intrusive as possible, but also created an effective marketing strategy.
  
  Lauren surpassed all of my expectations, the sale of the property was quick and painless for myself and my tenants. This was purely down to her diligence and professionalism. She was always happy to take time to answer my questions and always kept me informed.
  
  I couldn’t be happier with Lauren and Eves, I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone selling or buying a home in Papamoa.”
  

  S Cunningham

• It's great to have a recommendation when you're undertaking something as emotional and stressful as letting go of your home, your mother's home. Thank you Tracey McGregor for putting me in the hands of the right agent. I said I needed someone I could connect with, who would help me, but also leave me alone until it was the right time! Along came Lauren almost a year ago to appraise the house and talk about anything we might do to get the best price. For the last year Lauren has given accurate market advice, provided me with sales information for areas where I was interested in purchasing and answered any other question I had. Always SO quick to reply and help. More importantly Lauren has been patient and understanding. She was the right agent for me and I would recommend her to you too. Thank you Lauren. A year in the works and in 8 days it's all done!
  

  Hazel

• Lauren recently sold our home. She was friendly, professional on all her communication with us regarding open homes and viewings. We would have no hesitation recommending Lauren if you want a great result.

  Chris and Len

• We really enjoyed working with Lauren to sell our house. She was very enthusiastic about our home and really appreciated all it's features. Lauren's communication was fantastic, she was really clear and quick with any feedback and updates from potential buyers. The auction process was simple and enabled us to get the best price for our house. We would definitely work with Lauren and Eves again.

  Julie and Robert

• Lauren recently sold our property in Papamoa, with outstanding results. We decided to entrust Lauren with the sale of our property, and are thrilled with this decision. Lauren was readily available during our hard and fast campaign; she was always positive, upbeat and receptive to all our enquiries. We appreciated her extensive industry knowledge and connections. And above all, value her passion for the real estate industry.
  We cannot recommend Lauren enough, and will continue to work with her, with our future property ventures.
  

  J and S Mitchell

• Lauren recently sold our home in Papamoa and achieved exceptional results in excess of our expectations. Lauren was a safe pair of hands throughout the process, giving us clear and considered advice to help with decision making. Nothing was ever a hassle and she was always available for both prospective buyers and for us. Lauren’s extensive experience and connections in the local market really set her apart from other agents and we wouldn’t hesitate to list with her again.

  T Hayson

• First of all, we would like to thank you for the great job you've done in putting a big red sold sign on our property. Thank you so much. It has been a big challenge for you, but because of your dedication, passion, professionalism, positive attitude and great connections, you made it happen -we are grateful.

  D and L Angeles

• Being new to the area, I arrived with no local real estate knowledge. I contacted a number of agencies and expressed my interest in buying. I also required guidance and advice on my purchase and therefore needed an agent I could build a trusting relationship with. A friend then recommended Lauren from Eves Real Estate, not only was it a wonderful recommendation, it was the turning point in my real estate search.
  
  From our very first contact, Lauren kept me well informed of listings that were in my price range, and in areas that suited my requirements. She would regularly contact me to see how I was progressing and if there was anything else I needed. When Lauren showed me a property that was ideal, she supported and talked me through the auction process. Throughout the purchase, Lauren kept me well informed of where I was in the process, and made sure that I understood and had a complete picture of what was happening. She was truly professional, reliable, and genuinely invested and interested in my purchasing journey. I was delighted to make an effortless and stress free purchase through Lauren, even through a national lockdown!
  
  I am so pleased I went on my purchasing journey with Lauren. Thank you so very much!
  

  Veronica Sayer

• We had the pleasure of dealing with Lauren MacRae during the purchase of our home in January of this year. We found her to be very friendly, quick to solve problems & helpful beyond our expectations. We would happily recommend Lauren to anyone who needs a friendly, competent real estate agent.

  Sue and Terry Jordon

• Lauren has supported us to purchase two properties in the Papamoa area over the last year. Lauren successfully negotiated on our behalf to secure one property via negotiation and the other via auction phone bidding.
  
  Being out of town buyers we needed an agent who could go over and above the call of duty, Lauren well and truly did that! We are thankful for her professionalism, knowledge and dedication to helping us find properties that met our brief. Nothing was too ever too much hassle for her!
  
  We were so impressed with Lauren we have recommended her to friends who have also purchased through her.
  
  

  C and K Reid

• From the moment Lauren showed us the property we could imagine ourselves living in it.
  Lauren guided us with her experience and advice to successfully purchase our new home at auction.
  Lauren was an absolutely delight to deal with throughout the whole buying process.
  We highly recommend Lauren
  

  Nick and Maddy White

• "We have had the pleasure of working with Lauren for the last 3 months while trying to find the right place for our family to live in Mount Maunganui. This was a challenge as we don't live near to Mount Maunganui. Lauren became a trusted partner and was instrumental in our success at auction, spending time deciding our auction strategy and bidding on our behalf while we were on the phone. Her friendliness, professionalism, proactive attitude, and strong communication skills are some of the highlights for us. We highly recommend Lauren!"

  Erica and Taciano

• Lauren knew exactly the kinds of properties we wanted to look at and didn’t waste our time on any that didn’t suit. Lauren was constantly on the case for us, eventually finding just the right house. We wouldn’t hesitate to buy or sell with Lauren again.

  Georgia and Alastair

• Lauren has been really helpful with the purchase of our first home. Always willing to meet us and take us through the property (which was a few times!). She was also very professional and trustworthy, and she helped make the process as stress free as possible. I also appreciated her honest advice and she was very attentive to details. Thanks so much Lauren!

  Michala Sauerbier

• Lauren is an absolute pleasure to work with. Professional, knowledgeable, always available all with a friendly smile. She is always happy to go above and beyond, achieving great results.

  Victoria Guscott

• We recently had the pleasure of dealing with Lauren Macrae, regarding purchasing a rental property.
  We found Lauren to be a pleasure to work with. Although very professional in her work, Lauren is friendly, honest and communicates well.
  Lauren took into account our requirements and followed through providing suitable properties for us to look at. She kept us up to date during the whole process.
  We would not hesitate in recommending Lauren as an agent and hope to continue dealings with her in the future.
  

  Brian & Leanne Owen

• Lauren is an outstanding real estate agent - detail orientated, personable, timely, focused and very understanding. We sold our house with a 10 month old and were always accommodated by Lauren and that made the entire process stress free. We had an outstanding result through Lauren's hard work and dedication and we would highly recommend her.

  Jane Ritchie

• I am writing to you to pass on my compliments of one of your employees Lauren MacRae. I don't usually do this sort of thing but the assistance I have received from Lauren has been far superior to any other property agent I have ever been in contact with and it is directly as a result of her service that my partner and I have been successful in purchasing a property through Eves.
  
  My partner and I are New Zealanders currently living in Hong Kong so searching for properties and making a decision is relatively difficult. I gave up on many agencies as response was non existent and agents showed no interest in our needs.
  
  From first contact Lauren was incredibly responsive, helpful and made the whole process of searching for a property and purchasing pleasant and stress free.
  
  After failing to succeed in our first auction Lauren would proactively update us with properties that came up for sale that she thought we might be interested in and continuously fed us information throughout the due diligence process.
  
  Even following the sale Lauren is going above and beyond to assist us as we go through the settlement process.
  
  I would not hesitate to recommend Lauren to anyone looking for property in the Mount and have already passed on her contact details to friends looking on the area.
  
  I wanted to share my experience with you as we really cannot thank Lauren enough for the service she has given.
  

  Kirsty Howard

• I wish to write a testimonial for Lauren MacRae who recently helped my partner Samuel and myself find our first home.
  Lauren began spending a lot of time sending through different homes that she felt we might like. I found this tremendously helpful, as dealing with one agent, rather than several, meant that Lauren got to know us quite well, quickly. Lauren often spent time outside of work hours showing us through properties and I especially appreciated her positive attitude. Lauren is not a pushy agent who makes you feel as though a sale is all she cares about - Lauren instead wants to ensure you get exactly what you are after, no matter how long it takes. While Lauren has a great work ethic and gets things done quickly, she is a very down to earth, relaxed person, who makes you feel at ease and doesn't use sales jargon.
  Lauren is one in a million and I would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home. If we were ever to sell and look for a new home in the future I would definitely ask Lauren for her help. Although I did not know her before, I would now call her a friend. Lauren made the process of buying our first home as fun and stress free as I believe it is possible to do so and I thank her very much for all her efforts"

  Brian & Leanne Owen

• Lauren MacRae assisted us in the purchase of our dream beach bach earlier this year.
  We found Lauren to be extremely helpful and supportive while negotiating the deal and provided all the relevant information required to ensure the sale went smoothly.
  Best of all we always felt we were dealt with honesty and Lauren didn't waste our time (or hers!) by showing us properties which clearly didn't suit our criteria.
  I would definitely recommend her as an agent.

  Jane and Stephan Van Oosterhout

• As a first time buyer I really appreciated the advice and support I received from Lauren. She went out of her way to support me and nothing was a problem. I never ever felt pressured and felt she was honest and up front in her dealings with me. I would recommend Lauren to my friends and family and use her as an agent if I was ever to sell.

  Philippa Edwards

• 'We are now well settled into our new apartment and thoroughly enjoying our new lifestyle. It's a great location and provides us with the opportunity to conveniently enjoy all the attractions the Mount has to offer.
  We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for your efforts in helping us to locate and successfully negotiate the purchase of our new home. It was at times a challenging process due to the reluctance of the vendor to provide a clear indication of his expectations but we really appreciated your efforts in keeping us fully informed at all times as negotiations proceeded. We especially appreciated the timely and informative manner in which you responded to our questions and the provision of information to help us in our decision making. You were at all times helpful, friendly and professional during our discussions.'

  Sharon and John Searle

• 'When seeking to buy my current home - purchased in April 09, I had regular meetings and inspections with Lauren MacRae. I found Lauren to be friendly, an attentive listener and a thoroughly professional saleslady. Lauren took a personal interest in my situation endeavouring to show me homes within my specified requirements. Lauren conducted all our meetings with a confident, capable manner and sought help and support when she needed to. I thoroughly enjoyed dealing with Lauren and would highly recommend her to anyone.

  Julia Phillips

• 'It has been a true pleasure working with Lauren. My partner and I were hesitant and unsure of the procedures of purchasing a property. Lauren walked us through it with friendly reassurance. She kept us informed at every step and answered our endless questions. Her easy manner and prompt efficiency has made a huge difference to this potentially stressful experience for us. We would not hesitate to recommend her to others. Thank you Lauren, we wish you well in the future.'

  Kate Hardwick and Ray Hewlett

• 'We would just like to say how much we enjoyed working with agent Lauren MacRae.
  Her enthusiasm, her helpfulness and efficiency were much appreciated. She found us a fantastic two bedroom unit in a difficult market when we had very limited funds. She never gave up fighting for us.
  When asked to find information or perform other tasks she puts many other more experienced agents to shame in the way she gets on with her job and carries it out.
  My wife and I would recommend her to anyone looking to sell or purchase real estate. We look forward to working with Lauren again in the future.'

  Geoff and Rose Duke

• 'Our experience with Lauren MacRae was superb. Lauren was very professional, knowledgeable and helpful, she made the experience of buying our first home enjoyable and easy. I would definitely recommend Lauren to anyone wanting to buy or sell.'
