Why Work With Lauren Auresto — Credentials, Track Record & Approach
By Lauren Auresto | Associate Real Estate Broker, BHGRE Gaetano Marra Homes | April 6, 2026 | Updated April 6, 2026
Lauren Auresto is an Associate Real Estate Broker with 13+ years of experience in Fairfield County and western Connecticut. In 2024, she ranked #21 nationally at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate out of 13,000 agents, received the company’s highest award, and closed 44 transactions totaling $25.82 million in volume. The majority of her business comes from past client referrals. That track record is not a credential — it’s an outcome.
Most real estate agents list credentials. Lauren’s credentials are a byproduct of 13 years of doing the work — understanding markets deeply, building honest relationships with clients, and consistently delivering outcomes that generate referrals. The numbers on this page exist because of that work. They are worth knowing. But they are not the reason to choose a real estate agent. The reason is what they represent: a track record of actually getting results for buyers and sellers in this specific market. Recognition
2024 Performance — The Numbers#21 Nationally — Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate
Out of 13,000 agents nationwide, Lauren ranked #21 by volume sold in 2024. This places her in the top 0.16% of all BHGRE agents in the country — not in a specific region or market, but nationally. BHGRE Founder Club Award 2024
The Founder Club Award is the highest recognition in Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate. Lauren received this award in 2024, along with the Top Agent Award for both 2023 and 2024. RealTrends Verified — Top Agent by Sides & Volume
RealTrends is the industry’s independent verification standard for top agent performance. Lauren is verified as a Top Agent by both transaction count (sides) and volume. In 2024: 44 sides (transactions), $25.82 million in total volume. In Connecticut, she ranked #43 by sides and #86 by volume out of nearly 16,000 licensed agents in the state. Local Board of Realtors VP 2025 / President 2026
These are peer-elected positions — chosen by fellow real estate professionals, not appointed. Serving as VP in 2025 and President in 2026 reflects the professional community’s trust in Lauren’s judgment, ethics, and leadership. It also means she is actively shaping the standards of practice for real estate professionals in this region.
What Makes the Difference
Marketing Background + Local Expertise — Why This Combination MattersMost real estate agents approach listing a home the same way: take photos, put it on the MLS, and wait. Lauren’s marketing background changes the approach fundamentally. Before any home goes to market, she analyzes who the most probable buyer is — using data from past sales, neighborhood metrics, and current buyer activity — and positions the listing specifically for that buyer. That means different photography emphasis, different copy, different price positioning, and different outreach depending on whether the most likely buyer is a New York relocator, a local move-up buyer, a first-time buyer, or a downsizer. The home doesn’t change. The strategy does. And the results reflect that difference. For buyers, the same analytical approach applies — understanding which homes represent real value, which neighborhoods are positioned for appreciation, and how to compete effectively in a market where well-priced homes move fast. See the full Fairfield County market guide for how this plays out in the current market. Client Trust
Why the Majority of Lauren’s Business Comes from ReferralsThe majority of Lauren’s business comes from past clients recommending her to people they know. That is not a marketing claim — it is a business metric. Referrals happen when clients trust the person they worked with enough to attach their own name to the recommendation. They don’t refer agents who just showed homes. They refer agents who delivered outcomes, communicated clearly, and made a stressful process manageable. A referral-driven business is also a quality signal: it means Lauren’s client base is not built on advertising or portals — it’s built on performance. That’s the most durable foundation in this business, and it’s what 13+ years of consistent work in this market produces. Common Questions
