Born in Metairie, Lauren combines strong local roots with go-getter business savvy. She grew up appreciating old world Louisiana architecture from an early age thanks to her father’s restoration woodwork. Deepening her ties to the area, Lauren graduated from Mount Carmel Academy in 2003 and LSU in 2007. She earned her bachelor’s degree in small business management and entrepreneurship. After some years in franchise operations and event planning, both in the region, she obtained her real estate license in 2017. Lauren leverages her ever-expanding Greater New Orleans network — a lifetime of relationships with regional contacts — to uncover possibilities clients might otherwise never hear about. When not turning up opportunities for clients, Lauren can be found alongside her husband volunteering at the school their three children attend.
Athena Real Estate is fantastic. We had Lauren Crain as our realtor and she helped my husband and I find our first home. She was extremely patient with us, she is always available to talk when you need her, and is so knowledgeable. We know several other people who have used her and everyone loves having her as their realtor. I would suggest Lauren Crain and Athena Real Estate to anyone!

My experience with Athena was exceptional. We would never have gotten our house had it not been for our agent, Lauren Crain. She was professional, smart and consultative through the entire process and as the result, we submitted a competitive offer and purchased the house of our dreams. There were multiple offers but because of Lauren’s creativity and quickness in submitting the offer, we won. Additionally, Lauren sold our home in a very difficult market. Throughout the entire process, she always had our best interest at heart. I cannot speak any more highly of her. Whether you are looking to buy or sell, work with Lauren Crain. You will not regret it!!

Lauren Crain is the best agent. She answered every call, entertained every listing, gave honest opinions and fought for us. She found us our dream home in our dream location and made it all happen. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent and friend to help us!
