About me

Lauren Sawyer Foster is a native of Columbia, SC. She attended the College of Charleston and earned a degree in International Business.

Lauren has been a loan originator since 2010 and specializes in new home construction, FHA, VA, and USDA rural housing products. Lauren is a member of the Home Builders Association, Sales and Marketing Council, Junior League of Columbia, and Kemopalooza Board at Palmetto Health. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, playing tennis, and running.

Lauren and staff did a great job working with the buyer on a property that I had listed. The property posed some unique challenges and she and her folks worked through the issues with speed and effectiveness. Very well done!

I was referred to Lauren at Guild by my realtor Darnell Gee. Together with his expertise in realty and Lauren's team at Guild, they made the home buying process smooth and stress free.
