A little about me...
A lifelong resident of the CSRA, Lauren Whitehead brings nearly 15 years of real estate experience and a lifetime of local knowledge to every client she represents. Before beginning her real estate career in 2012, Lauren spent 13 years in the medical field, including managing a large anesthesia billing practice. That experience helped shape the way she does business today—through strong communication, attention to detail, organization, and an understanding that people deserve honest answers when making important decisions.
Since transitioning into real estate, Lauren has built a successful career by focusing on what matters most to her: honesty, transparency, hard work, and always putting her clients’ best interests first. She believes her job isn’t simply to tell clients what they want to hear, but to give them the information and guidance they need to make the best decision for themselves and their families.
Lauren also understands that behind every real estate transaction is a real person with a story. A move may represent an exciting new beginning, but it can just as easily come during a difficult transition, a loss, a financial concern, or an unexpected change in life. Lauren genuinely carries the weight of those situations with her clients. She takes their trust and the responsibility that comes with it extremely seriously and considers it a privilege to be the person they choose to have beside them during some of life’s biggest moments.
One of the greatest compliments of Lauren’s career has been earning the kind of trust that extends beyond a single transaction. She is incredibly grateful for the clients who return to her through different seasons of life, refer their family and friends, and especially for the opportunity to work with multiple generations of the same family. Being trusted first by parents, and later by their children or other family members, is something she never takes for granted.
Having lived in the CSRA her entire life, Lauren’s knowledge goes well beyond houses and neighborhoods. She knows the communities, understands the local market, and has watched the area grow and change throughout her lifetime. That firsthand knowledge, combined with years of experience navigating different real estate markets, gives her clients an advantage whether they are buying, selling, or investing.
Family is a huge part of who Lauren is. She and her husband, Danny, have three children and seven grandchildren, and she is incredibly proud of the family they have built together. Danny has served in law enforcement for 30 years, and Lauren is equally proud to be the wife of someone who has dedicated his career to serving their community.
For Lauren, real estate is personal. It’s not simply about getting a property listed, finding a house, or making it to the closing table. It’s about earning her clients’ trust, protecting their interests, and making sure they know they have someone firmly in their corner from the first conversation through closing—and long after.

Read More her, and everything was always completed with precision! My first purchase was a new construction, Keystone home in Grovetown. I looked at the home, knew it was perfect for my family, and immediately put down a deposit. Lauren and her team took care of the rest! She effortlessly aligned home appraisals, coordinated my VA inspections, and was able to schedule closing to align with my lease termination. All I had to do was digitally sign a few documents and show up at closing!
A few years later, I sold that home and purchased a property in Appling. Again, Lauren took care of it all! I purchased that beautiful property on contingency and had a seamless double closing date, selling our 1st home and purchasing our next without getting out of my seat at the closing table! Absolutely flawless!
My most recent transaction involved a complicated relocation from the Appling home, out of state, AND using a relocation service through my employer. Again, Lauren was there to assist and was critical in selling our home quickly, ensuring that I received all incentives, and making our transition as stress-free as possible.
If you are looking for the best realtor in the CSRA, Lauren and SHG are the clear choice. No matter if you are buying or selling, Lauren will be the champion in your corner!"
