As a Western Suburbs market expert for DMG, Lauren Walz brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her clients. A lifelong resident of the area, Lauren's deep understanding of the community sets her apart as a trusted guide in real estate.
"I’ve called the Chicago Western Suburbs home my entire life – it’s where I grew up and now raise my own family. When buying in a new area, understanding the community is essential, and that’s where my expertise truly shines through.”
Since joining the real estate world, Lauren has achieved remarkable success. She was honored with the Coldwell Banker “Rookie of the Year” award in 2016, and as the first official team member of the Dawn McKenna Group, she has established herself as a key leader in the market. With over $450 million in sales throughout the greater Western Suburbs, Lauren has a keen pulse on market trends and access to unique properties that others may not find.
“Here at DMG, we don’t leave a single stone unturned when it comes to finding our clients the perfect home. Clients come to us because they know we prioritize their needs and are dedicated to delivering exceptional results.”
Lauren currently resides in her hometown of Western Springs and loves raising her three boys in the community. She attended the University of Iowa, where she was a four-year letter winner on the women's volleyball team and received the Academic All-Big Ten Conference award four times.
She began her career as a CPA in 2007 but has always had a passion for design and investing in real estate. What started off as her helping friends and family redesign their homes or analyze investment properties to renovate with her husband, turned into a passion to enter into real estate. Her background in finance and accounting, along with construction and design, is a tremendous value add for all her clients.
“Real estate is one of the biggest investments you’ll make throughout your life. My clients trust me to not only guide them through the financial aspects but also to help them envision how to make their new house a home.”
Outside of real estate, Lauren cherishes time spent with her family, exploring new restaurants, and participating in community philanthropy events. Her commitment to her clients and her community is unwavering, making her an invaluable resource for anyone looking to navigate the Western Suburbs real estate market.
