Lauren Schatz’s path into real estate wasn’t exactly a straight line, but looking back, a lot of the pieces make sense. She grew up loving homes, going to open houses with her mom and taking architecture in high school. She later earned a degree in philosophy with a minor in astronomy and spent some time in retail management before realizing she wanted to build a career that challenged her and gave her room to grow. That decision led her to getting her real estate license.
A lot of Lauren’s drive comes from her years as a competitive figure skater. Skating was a huge part of her life from a young age and, for years, felt more like a job than a hobby. She trained six days a week, before and after school, and competed at the National level It taught her how consistency matters, how to push through difficult moments and, most importantly, that if you want something, you have to put in the work. She brings that same mentality to real estate and to every client she represents.
Lauren became licensed in 2017, initially with the goal of learning how to flip homes. She completed her first flip in 2018 and another shortly afterward, later investing in short-term rentals while continuing to sell real estate. What started with a love for houses eventually became much more about the people behind them.
Lauren made real estate her full-time career in 2023 while pregnant with her second child. She welcomed that baby in early 2024 and her third in early 2025. Yes, they’re Irish twins. Lauren closed 23 homes in 2024 and another 23 in 2025, ranking No. 2 in production both years on a team that ranked No. 2 among large real estate teams in Colorado for closed transactions. In 2026, she had risen to the No. 1 agent on the team when she left, with 17 homes closed and another 5 pending.
Lauren has worked across all areas of real estate, including complex transactions and luxury custom homes. She brings a steady presence, a practical mindset and a commitment to seeing things through from the initial contract to the closing table.
Clients can count on Lauren to be direct, thoughtful and solution-oriented. She understands that honest advice is more valuable than telling people what they want to hear, even when the conversation may be difficult. Her goal is to give clients the information they need to make confident decisions and move forward with a clear understanding of their options.
Lauren is attentive to the details and challenges that can arise behind the scenes. When an issue comes up, she focuses on resolving it efficiently and shielding her clients from unnecessary stress whenever possible. She does not look for praise or recognition; to Lauren, quietly handling problems is simply part of providing the level of care and service her clients deserve.
Outside of real estate, Lauren and her husband, Jason, are raising three kids, ages 1, 2 and 12. Her free time is spent with family or taking on another home renovation project. After years of buying, selling and improving properties, she still believes there is something special about putting your own blood, sweat and tears into the place you call home.
Lauren believes in being honest, doing the right thing and putting her clients first, even when no one is watching.
Lauren works with buyers and sellers throughout Colorado Springs and the surrounding Pikes Peak region. Whether you’re buying, selling or simply have questions about the market, she’s always happy to talk. Call or text Lauren directly at 719-330-3640.
