About Lauren Goché (she/her)
Lauren Goché sells houses, renovates old ones, and moonlights as a professional chaos wrangler. She’s been described as part therapist, part hype squad, and part witch with Wi-Fi—helping people navigate big transitions with humor, heart, and the occasional snack. At the center of it all, she believes housing isn’t just about walls and roofs, it’s about equity, belonging, and making sure everyone gets a seat at the block party (preferably with better lighting and fewer weird uncles)
