What are the benefits of working with a real estate team instead of a solo agent?

Working with a real estate team gives you broader support, built-in backup, and an elevated client experience that’s tough to match solo. Here’s why that matters for you as a buyer or seller.

Real Estate Has Changed—So Has the Job

When Lauren started out more than 20 years ago, real estate was a one-person show. Agents hand-delivered contracts in manila envelopes. There was no social media, no real online marketing—just hard work, phone calls, and personal networking. But as the internet transformed how homes are marketed and discovered, the responsibilities of an agent expanded dramatically.

Now, it's not just about showing homes and writing contracts. It's also about managing online listings, social media promotion, lead generation, client communication, continuing education, and more. Lauren came to realize that building a team was essential—not just for growth, but to provide better service to you.  The team grew slowly and intentionally, with support staff and agents who shared her values.

A Team Built Around Service

At Lauren Zurilla & Associates, everything revolves around delivering high-level service to every client.  Today, the team includes:

• Three licensed agents (Lauren, Tina, and Gigi)

• A full-time assistant (Director of Operations)

• A full-time marketing associate

And while the team is offering behind the scenes support, you always have one clear point of contact: your agent.

You Get One Agent—Plus the Power of the Team

When you work with Lauren Zurilla & Associates, you don’t get shuffled between people. You have your agent who walks you through every step of the buying or selling process. But behind that agent is a team that ensures:

• Your calls and questions are answered quickly

• Your home is marketed professionally

• Your transaction is handled with care and efficiency

• There’s backup in place when your agent is unavailable

This team approach means you never have to sacrifice service for speed. You benefit from multiple minds solving problems, multiple eyes reviewing contracts, and multiple people committed to helping you succeed.

Why It Makes a Difference

Buying or selling a home can be an emotional. Whether you're moving for a job, growing your family, or navigating a life change, it's a big deal. Our team understands that.

You deserve:

• A calm, experienced guide

• Honest advice without pressure

• Strong negotiation and contract knowledge

• Someone who’s available when you need them

A well-structured team like Lauren Zurilla & Associates gives you all that—and more. Because when the unexpected happens (and it almost always does in real estate), you're not alone. There's a built-in support system that keeps your home sale or purchase on track.

Final Thoughts

You don’t have to choose between personal attention and professional horsepower. With Lauren Zurilla & Associates, you get both. One trusted agent, backed by a full team dedicated to your success.
