    Lauren Morihara

    Sales Professional/REALTOR®️ Lauren Morihara

    • Lauren considers herself a city girl, exclusively. She was born and raised in Pittsburgh where she attended the public high school for the arts, and received her BA from Temple. Philadelphia has been “home” since 2008: she got her first professional position here, got married here and started her family here. She knows what Philadelphia offers whether you are a young professional or a new family. She has always combined her passions of bicycling and exploring different pockets of Philly and learning what makes each of them special. Knowing the “what” in each neighborhood from cafes to dining to bespoke shops and schools is what you can expect from her.

      Lauren has been in high end sales for the last ten years. She’s a strong negotiator, extremely decisive and efficient, but never in a rush – she knows this is your decision. Going into Real Estate was the obvious next step for her because of her innate way with sales and her appreciation of the value of homeownership. Lauren bought her first home when she was 24 years old. It was a flip in a changing South Philly neighborhood. One baby and seven years later she sold that home, made a great profit and moved to (hopefully) her forever home: a historic Queen Village house built in 1783 — now with two babies! Lauren understands the help that first time homeowners need, and the stressors to be avoided so her clients have a positive experience. Whether it’s new construction or a historic piece of Philadelphia, Lauren uses her first-hand knowledge and the resources from the City Block Team to give her clients the very best advice and representation.

    Andrea S.

    Buyer
    ‟Lauren was a spectacular realtor. In this unpredictable and scary market, particularly for first-time home buyers, Lauren’s knowledge, patience, and willingness to go the extra mile stood out. She is attentive, available, and always made us feel like we were her only clients. She brought new listings to our attention right away and was able to show … us anything within days (or less). A Queen Village resident herself, she also knows what to look for in older houses. She never pressured us to purchase and at all times made us feel like helping us find the perfect home was her main concern. When we finally did find our dream home after months and months of searching, Lauren made closing seamless. She is simply the best” Read More ▾

    ‟Lauren is an absolute treat to work with. She is attentive, responsive, kind, funny, intelligent, and always puts your needs and desires first.

    Shane D.

    Buyer
    ‟Lauren did a great job at helping us through the process of buying our first home. It was clear throughout the entire process that she had our best interest at heart and wasn't afraid to tell us to negotiate or to skip a house that looked dodgy. She also knew a lot about the details of home qualities and took a keen interest during the inspection t … o make sure that everything was correct. I couldn't recommend her enough. 7/5 stars” Read More ▾

    Bob B. & Micki S.

    Buyer
    ‟In short, Lauren is the kind of real estate agent everyone hopes for but rarely gets. First of all, Lauren listened. You would be surprised how rare that is the real estate game. Then, Lauren acted. And oh boy did she ever act. Not only did she get us the exact house we wanted, she helped motivate the seller that we were the right couple for him to … sell to. She even prodded the agent selling our house in California to toe the line. She couldn't have been more helpful if she had offered to wash my car or loan me a kidney. What more could you ask for? You would be wise to use Lauren Morihara as your real estate agent” Read More ▾

    Edward & Karen L.

    Buyer
    ‟Lauren was the perfect realtor for us. She listened carefully, understood what we were looking for, and helped us find a great house. She was very tuned into our sensibility and did not try to push us in other directions. Lauren was also very good at helping us understand the market and negotiate a fair price. We NEVER felt like Lauren had a differ … ent agenda or set of priorities from ours. We took quite some time and she was patient and understanding. More than anything Lauren understood that we valued a certain aesthetic or look. She grasped the kind of features we wanted in a house and helped us identify good prospects. She also helped us decide between several neighborhoods. She was also thoughtful and attuned to our needs when assessing the pros and cons of Queen Village, Fairmount, the Museum District, Fitler, and Grad Hospital. After a process that took over a year, we ended up with a terrific house in a neighborhood we love. We are so grateful that we found Lauren to guide us through this process” Read More ▾

    Margo M.

    ‟Lauren is amazing! She sees all sorts of details in houses that you might otherwise miss, has tons of expertise, and was really good at reading what type of home we were looking for even when we ourselves weren't totally aware yet. She is really available and communicative. She makes the mess of paperwork easy to work thru and breaks things down in … to their simplest actionable steps, which was especially useful for us as first-timers. She was also extremely helpful during the negotiation process, which we were unsure how to approach at first. We found Lauren thru 2 friends (also first-time home buyers) who'd already worked with her; their recommendation made us feel confident that Lauren was a great choice for us and she was” Read More ▾

    Buyer
    ‟Lauren Morihara is a great realtor. When she worked with us she was able to very quickly figure out what we were looking for in a house, and help us find and see a number of properties meeting our needs. She did a great job of supporting us at every turn of the complicated process of buying a house. She was also very easy to get ahold of at any tim … e and always responsive when we reached out. Not only did she know all the ins and outs of the process of home-buying but she did a great job of helping us understand the process, even though we were first time home-buyers and probably knew a lot less than most people. When it came time to purchase a place, her negotiating skills helped us get a good price, even in the super-competitive market of early 2021” Read More ▾
