“I first started working with Lauren in 2009 and have worked with her in two different, equally important capacities - Home Management as well as Relocation Services. For many years the Lotus team provided weekly inspections, maintenance and loving care for my Santa Fe home. I always rested assured while absent from the home. For instance, there were some critical issues which might have become calamitous if Lotus had not quickly identified and remediated them.
When I decided to sell my property in 2019 Lotus was invaluable in helping navigate the complex processes of the real estate transaction. From hiring an estate appraiser and a trusted moving company, to facilitating some unexpected and significant home repairs that were needed, to labeling what furniture had to be moved to which city, overseeing the moving process and scheduling a detailed housecleaning, Lotus saved the day and I couldn’t be more grateful to them for all of their efforts. I don’t know what I would have done without them, as I could not have possibly have handled it all from TX. Lotus successfully met a critical deadline and the buyers were delighted to move in to a clean, beautiful, happy home.
I am forever thankful for Lotus as they clearly care about their clients, and take great pride in providing exceptional levels of service.
In my opinion Lotus is the leader in their industry.”
