Lauren Hatten loves where she lives, and she wants you to love where you live, too! Born and raised in Bethesda, Maryland, she now lives three miles from her childhood home. With a deep understanding and appreciation for the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, she likes calling this area home because of its easy access to beaches and mountains, as well as its small town feel with big city amenities. With more than 20 years of real estate experience, Lauren consistently ranks in the top five percent of real estate agents nationwide. Her favorite parts of real estate are developing lifelong relationships with clients and partners, as well as pricing and staging a home. A strong advocate for her clients, she is committed to partnering with them every step of the way to ensure a smooth home buying and/or selling experience from start to finish. Clients highly recommend her, applauding her stress-free approach and keen ability to make them feel like they are her only client. She is known for her responsiveness, professionalism and strong negotiation skills. Lauren is a proud member of the successful Hatten-Tendall real estate team. As part of the Long & Foster Bethesda Gateway's billion-dollar office, which ranks #1 in both sales and volume among all real estate brokerage firms in Montgomery Country and Washington, D.C., the Hatten-Tendall team has access to the area's most thorough support staff. Since teaming up in 2015, they pride themselves on their "24/7 responsiveness," up-to-date knowledge on the latest industry trends, and keen enthusiasm. When she's not listing and selling homes, Lauren enjoys spending time with her five grand kids (who all live in the area!), cooking, and entertaining family and friends.
