Lauren Grell

Lauren Grell, REALTOR®

The Dancer

With an eye for detail and a passion for perfection, Lauren brings rhythm and harmony to every real estate transaction. She’s been a dance teacher and choreographer almost as long as she’s been a REALTOR®, infusing both roles with energy and precision. When Lauren isn’t closing deals, you’ll find her at Nicole Rock’s School of Dance in West Liberty. She enjoys working with kids (including her daughter, Paisley) and sharing her love of movement and expression. 

As a dedicated real estate agent, Lauren excels in buyer and seller representation, including new construction and development. She loves helping first-time homeowners navigate the exciting journey to homeownership. There’s magic in those moments when clients unlock the door to their first home—a thrill that never gets old for Lauren.

Since moving to Iowa City in 2011 and earning her real estate license in 2013, she’s developed an extensive knowledge of the Corridor. Lauren lived throughout the area before putting down roots on the east side of Iowa City with her husband and daughter. She offers clients professional expertise and authentic local insights that come from calling the community home. 

When she’s not orchestrating home matches or dance recitals, Lauren and her family are avid explorers. They enjoy camping and discovering all the hidden treasures that make Iowa special. Lauren’s adventurous spirit defines her approach to real estate. With Lauren as your real estate agent, you get a choreographer for your next big life move.

What Clients Say About Lauren Grell

“Lauren was truly our life saver when it comes to all aspects of first-time home buying! She helped us find our first home, which is also our dream and forever home already. We were buying remotely and were unable to go look at homes in person, so Lauren made multiple full-day trips booked with homes and FaceTimed us at each home. She spent hours making sure we saw every aspect of each home; she made the experience as real as possible for us, which we really appreciated. She also did a lot of research on the area of the city we would like best and on school districts for our future. Lauren was extremely friendly and always had our best interests at mind and heart, and she never veered off the path we had in mind. Lauren always responded via phone and email within the hour and she never left us with any unanswered questions and made sure to address our concerns with her personal and professional opinion. I would recommend Lauren to anyone and I will never work with anyone else. Thank you SO much, Lauren!”

— Aubry H.

“Insanely thoughtful, thorough, honest and beyond helpful. Wouldn't trust anyone else with anything real estate. Between Ross and Lauren, I was always in the know, and communication exceeded my expectations. Best in town. These two are a dream team to have on your side! ”

— Katie Margaret

“Mark and Lauren did a great job helping me purchase my first home. As a first-time home buyer, I had many questions. They were understanding, knowledgeable and willing to help, ultimately resulting in a great experience and smooth transaction. Would definitely recommend! ”

— Kaleb Beining

“Lauren and Ross were straightforward and genuine when helping us find our first home! They worked in our rather tight time crunch and were flexible working around both of our schedules. They answered my questions patiently and thoroughly giving great advice on home maintenance and care. Their combined experience made it super easy for us to choose the right house. Both were invaluable and I can't recommend them more!”

— Danielle Rose
