Lauren and Bridget’s paths converged at a prior workplace, where they quickly bonded over similar starts in the real estate world. Both began their journeys as professional nannies for real estate agents, later becoming their personal assistants, then promoted to their professional assistants, and eventually obtaining their real estate licenses. Although their personal tales were 12 years apart, the perspective they gleaned from vulnerably sharing their rookie challenges, professional successes, and personal setbacks profoundly impacted the business they would build. Their individual accomplishments—Lauren in sales, property management, and transaction coordination; Bridget in sales, coaching, management, and brand development—culminated in a rare opportunity to build a real estate brand that will revolutionize what agent representation means to the St. Louis community.

Their operational support, business acumen, marketing prowess, and early emphasis on “the little things” laid the foundation for The Bridge Collaboration. Lauren’s early mantra, “The little things matter and can make a BIG impact,” is a guiding beacon for most decision-making at The Bridge Collaboration. From clear and honest communication with buyers and sellers to fully supported agents striving to provide the best experience possible and a drive to make a long-term impact on the communities we serve, The Bridge Collaboration will change the landscape.
