Lauren Hernandez, Esq

I'm originally a midwestern girl who's always had big goals & big dreams (large family, successful career, give back to my community, etc.)⁠ ⁠

I have 3 beautiful (& exhausting) children (6, 5 & 2) & an incredible husband who works hard taking care of us as well as his patients. ⁠

My original view of success was as a prominent attorney which led me to attend Wake Forest Law School, but after graduating & practicing family law for a while, I realized I didn't love law like I thought I would or should. I had already learned that life is too short to stay in a job you don't love & I wanted something different.⁠ ⁠

When I told my family, friends, bosses/coworkers I was leaving law to go into real estate, they all thought I was a little (or a lot) crazy. Fast forward 9 years & I co-own an incredible business that keeps growing year after year, a business partner I love getting to work with & the best clients who have truly turned into some of our closest friends.⁠ ⁠

I've always wanted to help people & as a divorce attorney that was trying to make a difficult life event easier, but more often left everyone feeling down or defeated. As a Realtor, I get to be a part of some of the happiest times in a person's life, whether buying a first home, upgrading to a forever home or selling their home & looking forward to the next chapter in their lives.⁠ ⁠

I love helping our physician clients who are starting residency, finishing fellowship or an attending ready for his/her dream home. Having lived through it with my husband, I understand the nuances & specific details, time frames, etc. that the physician loan, training & attending positions can bring which is why over 75% of my business consists of physicians.⁠ ⁠

I have been able to call Winston home for almost 13 years now and everyday brings something new. Real estate has been challenging, rewarding & fulfilling in ways I didn't even expect.⁠ ⁠

So here's to making choices that others say are crazy & having it work out better than you or they could have ever imagined!
