Lauren is a proud Austin native with family roots in the city spanning over a century. Growing up immersed in Austin’s vibrant culture and community, Lauren developed a deep connection to her hometown. While she has lived in Los Angeles and Spain, she has always returned to Austin—a place she considers her true home.
Lauren’s professional journey began in applied behavior analysis, working with children with autism, before transitioning to a role as office manager for a luxury interior design firm. These experiences honed her adaptability, attention to detail, and process-driven approach. Since entering real estate, she has built on these skills as an assistant and operations manager to top-producing agents, mastering the complexities of transactions and client care.
Outside of work, Lauren enjoys spending time with her husband, Sean, and their Cavapoo, Tucker. She loves tackling home renovation projects, exploring Austin’s trails, and discovering new coffee shops and restaurants. Most of all, she cherishes moments with family and friends, creating lasting memories in the city she’s proud to call home.
As a native Austinite whose family has been rooted here for over a century, I have a deep affinity for this city and a strong passion for supporting locally grown businesses. Partnering with a brokerage that’s truly rooted in the community allows me to do just that. With their intimate knowledge of Austin’s unique market dynamics, they’re always ahead of the curve, offering a level of personalized service that stands out from larger national firms. It’s rewarding to know that through my work, I’m helping contribute to the growth and vibrancy of the city I call home.
There are so many great local spots that it's too hard to have a favorite, but a top favorite of mine is a charming little French bakery called La Patisserie—the original location on Annie Street. I started going there to study when I was a student at St. Edward's University, and it's been a favorite ever since!
Operation Blue Santa has a special place in my heart. When I was younger, my dad, while serving in the National Guard, would bring me along in the military hummer as we delivered gifts to families during the Christmas season. Those experiences gave me a real appreciation for the power of community and the joy of giving back.

I had a great experience selling with Tara McGuire and her team. Tara is super knowledgeable, and leads you through the process collaboratively but with confidence. I think she got us $50k more than we would have gotten without her help. She is knowledgeable on necessary upgrades that will pay you back, and has a great list of contacts to help you get what you need done. Highly recommend working with Tara!

Tara and her team were the absolute best help! We honestly could not have asked for a better team to help us sell our home. They made the process stressless and easy. Even in the craziest housing market we felt that we were very well taken care of throughout the entire process. Whether you are selling or buying, we'll say it loud: GO WITH TARA!
