Hi, I'm Lauren!
Fort Washington is a great place to live and play, which is why I chose to call it home. Hi, I'm Lauren Jaynes, a licensed Realtor® in Maryland. With roots in Hilton Head Island, SC , I have been in the area since 2017 and I have seen so much growth and change. Real estate is a passion for me. For my 23rd birthday I purchased my first home at the advice of my beloved father. I have loved real estate ever since.
My professional background is in human resources management. I'm also a landlord and a short term rental host. With my professional background and experience as a real estate investor, clients know I am an organized and resilient professional that will always put their best interest first. Clients have added trust in my expertise because I'm backed by the #1 real estate brokerage in the DMV, Samson Properties. They are passionate about helping clients find their next home and guiding them through the process.
When I'm not in the office, don’t be surprised to find me with two little girls that yell mama like its an emergency, and my high school sweetheart who keeps us all calm. We love being outdoors and trying new local restaurants. That's a little information about me but I'd love to learn more about you!
When your home no longer meets your needs and you need to consider your options in the current market conditions, I’m here for you.

July is coming in hot! Literally. 🥵 I’m feeling a shift. A good one. If you’ve been searching for the right home for a while and you haven’t secured it yet, keep going. Don’t let discouragement stay too long. If your home has been on the market for a while, the buyers are coming. Trust your realtor and make the necessary adjustments. “It’s better to go slow than to stand still.”Button

This is not fake news. I posted on my stories that I’ve been learning so I can effectively and efficiently serve my clients best interest. I attended a training with Fannie Mae last week and they informed us this was in the works. I will link the article in my stories but here’s what you need to know. * All lenders will not be able to or want to do this. * “You have not because you ask not” - When you’re working with a lender to get pre-approved , ask if they will use your crypto currency. You don’t know unless you ask. * If one lender says no, don’t stop there. It is ok to speak with multiple lenders when you are trying to obtain a mortgage loan. Work with a real estate professional that arms themselves with knowledge to support you in whatever your goals are. Let me know how I can help you achieve those goals.

I’m super late but I wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone that has contributed anything to Cadence’s dance seasons past or present. The February fundraiser was our most successful so thank you, thank you, thank you! . I thought I should share why we fundraise and where the money goes. Every little bit helps because there are lots of little things that go into competitions that aren’t mentioned in this video.

Perspective is so important. When @the_glamsuite straightened my hair, all I saw was the gray hair and how much more prominent it is compared to the last time I had it straightened. She said “it looks like highlights.” Now I can’t unsee it and I love it! I can’t unsee my mother in her early 30’s. I can’t unsee my people when I look in the mirror. ❤️🤎 Thanks Victoria.

Cadence is competitive! She’s not crazy about math but if you make it a game, she’s all over it. Here she’s playing with someone in another country and loving it! I was too lol. @splashlearn is a learning app that focuses on Math and ELA (English/Language Arts) which includes reading but they also have logic and a little art too. They have fun games and other materials to give kids a little reinforcement in areas they may need it. You pick the grade level and let them explore. They offer a free trial to try it but there is a subscription fee after the trial ends. They also have live classes, worksheets, and reports to track progress. This would be a great gift for the learners in your life!

The 2024 competition dance season is here and we are starting off strong with a @doadoublegood popcorn fundraiser. You’ll have from today January 13 to January 17 at 9am to purchase delicious, premium popcorn that can be delivered right to you. 50% of sales will go to my little dancer, Cadence. She loves dance, and these sales will help pay for competition fees and costumes. Here are some of last season’s highlights. It was busy, fun and she learned so much her first year competing. Her group won and then competed in a battle round where they took the win for the battle as well and became national champions. We are hoping for another big win for the girls this season!

The four month sleep regression has me up reflecting. Here’s the closing clip from the birth of Zuri. @thedcbirthphotographer captured everything beautifully. She is truly an artist and is meant to do this work. I haven’t shared much about my experience seeing a midwife. It was life changing to say the least. @sage_midwifery made me feel safe, valued, loved and nurtured from start to finish. Sam is so much more than a nurse midwife, so much more than a healthcare professional. Her students are learning from an amazing woman. Having Shay with @cmbsdoulas by my side was like having one of my cousins or friends there. I was so comfortable with her and she is so intuitive. She stuck it out with me for days lol. @enrichedbirth helped us prepare for a non medicated birth. I believe in educating myself and I knew I needed to learn more about birth to achieve the outcome I wanted. Linsay is so knowledgeable and so kind. It was fun taking her class with Ike so he could somewhat understand what I would be going through. The most surprising part of my care was finding out they (my doula and midwife) would still see me past the six weeks after birth. I enjoyed that time in my home! It was like therapy for me. I am so blessed to have had the support from this amazing group of women. #midwifery #naturalbirth #dmvbirthworkers #dmvbirthphotographer #dmvdoula #dmvmidwives #dmvpostpartumcare #dmvprenatalButton

Ok so you won’t die but you do run a huge risk of being evicted, and having that eviction on your credit if the place is in your name. I have two new host that I assisted who are facing eviction right now 🤦🏽♀️. I can’t stress enough the importance of doing things the right way. I can’t control what you choose to do but I am going to tell you the risk and why I wouldn’t do it.

Won’t be my only for much longer. Cady girl is a lot (in a good way) 😂 but only because our energy and personalities are sooo different. I’m so happy to be able to give birth again and experience a new life coming into the world with the love of my life, but thinking about the days of her being an only child and all the things we experienced together has been so bittersweet. I feel guilty sometimes for waiting so long to have another but I hope they both appreciate the gap, love each other unconditionally and show that love, not just say it. I hope I can be an even better mom because I do believe it is true, each child gets a different version of the parent because we go through different stages of life and sometimes the child grows with those stages. Nonetheless, we as ready as we gone be and we are so excited to see what the future holds for our family. 💙💖 #2ndtimemomtobe #nomoreonlychild #surprisegender #overthemoon #godisgoodalltime #gratefulthankfulblessedButton

These took me back to Paris 🥰😋 I’ve loved macarons ever since visiting Paris. A lot of people on social media complain about the food in Paris but the desserts and baked goods were top tier for me. I rolled out of the restaurants everyday 😂 it’s been hard to find some that were really good and soft. @oliviamacaron is the closest you will get to that taste, softness, and flavor of France. I’m literally in love with these. 🥰 @feastwitfab said they were for me and Cadence….I passed my gestational diabetes test so I can’t make any promises on that. 🤪 Have a Happy Valentines Day y’all 🥰😍😘 #oliviamacaron #macorons #dcdesserts #happyvalentinesday #makelovenotwar❤️ #sweettreatButton

@heynewfriends Founder @iamcartersade posted this on FB. It is so true and we really need to talk about this not just showing wins. Please make sure you are making financial decisions based on facts not possibilities. Facts meaning, if no one books and it all falls on my income as it is now, can I make these payments every month? Can I cover the utilities/maintenance every month? If you can’t, re-strategize and find an affordable price for you. Now, some maybe saying, isn’t some money better than no money? Not for everyone. Let me explain. I did choose to lower my price on my #Airbnb . My circumstances are different. I #househack so I’m not leaving my house to make sure the unit is turned over for the next guest. The cleaner I had was offering a low price so it didn’t cut into my profits in a way that didn’t allow me to still reach my monthly target. You still have to take into account the time and effort you may be putting in for that new lower price you’re offering. For some people it just isn’t worth it, which is fine. Know yourself and what you are willing to do. Also, when you have multiple streams of income, you just don’t worry about money. You know how to make more and that God gone provide regardless. I don’t have the gift of gab so I don’t have a pretty way of saying those last two sentences 🤷🏽♀️😊 it is what it is. #happyhosting on whatever platform you use!

Come with me to see my midwife! I love going to my appointments. We’re not rushed, it’s a judgement free zone and I learn something new every time I go! Since leaving Greenville I’ve had a hard time finding the type of care I felt GOOD about. Sage Midwifery has helped bring that feeling back. I realize being able to have this type of prenatal care is a blessing. Just wanted to share some of the reasons I’ve been enjoying it so much. If you’re looking for a midwife in the DMV, check out Sam at Sage Midwifery. If you’re looking for a community of moms they host Village Fridays and other events so be sure to visit the website! #pregnancy #prenatalcare #midwiferycare #vamidwife #mdmidwife #dcmidwife #dmvmidwife #dmvnursesButton

Diversify your listing strategy and pivot if you aren’t seeing the income you desire. My #Airbnb bookings were low for December. January, not so much, thankfully but with life changes happening I am definitely re-strategizing. I posted in this group once. I still get contacted to see if it is available by nurses. People are going to sell their properties because things are slow but if you can think of all possibilities first, you may have a new niche. I spoke with a gentleman that really wanted to host on Airbnb but he is in a very small rural area. I suggested travel nurses because I asked him if there are hospitals or nursing homes nearby. He said there are a lot. The next day he listed on Furnished finder, and a week later he had two houses booked for travel CNAs 🤯I didn’t even know travel CNAs existed. Expand your knowledge, expand who you speak to on a daily basis, and if you need some help, visit my website and reach out to me. #happyhosting #airbnb #realestate #airbnbambassador #househacking #househackingstrategy #hospitalityButton

#hostcommunity #airbnbhost this is why I don’t ask guest to wash the dishes. Several of the dishes that were put back in the drawer and cabinet weren’t properly cleaned. This can happen in a dishwasher too depending on how long dishes were in there before it was actually ran. Something to think about.

Peerspace is another platform where you can list your space. Y’all my place is not decked out. It’s nice, it’s clean, and tastefully decorated but it doesn’t look like a Pinterest board. It still gets inquiries and bookings. I’ve had photographers and film makers book. I’ve had people reach out for bridal showers and baby showers too but the parking is not designed for that many people. You can set parameters like no nudity, no alcohol, and more. Safety is still a priority! I hear people say all the time “ I wanna Airbnb”. Airbnb isn’t a strategy. It’s a platform to advertise your space. If you have a space and you want to continue using it sometimes, consider #shorttermrentals . Diversify and list the space on more than just Airbnb. Someone is checking out Sunday so this will be ready for him Sunday Afternoon 😉 happy hosting! #peerspace #airbnb #shorttermrentalstrategy #dmvrealestate #dmvrealestateinvesting #hospitality #happyhosting #vrbo #househackingButton

@airbnb has made it a little easier for people to secure a space to host. Say what you want about #Airbnb but working with the platform as a consumer, host, and ambassador has given me different perspectives. They know that MANY people want to do #rentalarbitrage vs. hosting a space they own or people just aren’t in a financial place to purchase right now. They previously had information on their site about how you can talk to a landlord about allowing rental arbitrage but they took it a step further with what you see in this reel! I have thoughts on who I think this would be good for but I’ll reserve them for a #YouTubevideo . With anything please make sure you read the details in its entirety and for your own understanding. Don’t take advice from people in the comments who have never hosted 😂. Read the fine print before signing a lease at one of these communities. Negotiate terms with the leasing office/landlord and be blessed in 2023!

I know it looks gross…it was just a nose bleed. Waterproof mattress protectors or mattress pads are cool but I’m a fan of mattress encasements to protect both. It protects the whole mattress against bed bugs, dust, dirt, and bodily fluids. This is important for the longevity of your mattresses in your short term rental. You have a lot of people coming and going. Those mattress pads can only be washed so many times before they need to be replaced. #shorttermrental #airbnb #airbnbambassador #househackingstrategy #househacking #realestateinvesting #dmvrealestateinvesting #airbnbtipsButton

I’m all for people starting something new and using what they have to earn more income. Please educate yourself and have a plan in mind first. I’m connected with new host a few ways but this one was sent through by Airbnb. I reached out to assist and he was vague, figured it was simple enough. He has his first booking coming up and has a lot of questions. He got another booking for a month but wants more detail about the person booking because he’s house hacking. This is something we could have strategized and worked through before he published the listing. I can help you figure out the best options FOR YOU. I like Airbnb, don’t get me wrong, it’s been a blessing to our family. However, if it is not a good fit for your strategy, I AM GOING TO TELL YOU THAT! Airbnb is not the only option for you to list your place and get booked. Have a plan, and then a pivot plan because you never know what the market or economy will do! Want to plan with me? Connect with me using the link in my bio. I’d love to help you host on Airbnb or figure out what will work best for you. Happy HostingButton

I don’t like getting into debates so take your unnecessary checkout procedures to one of the many FB groups currently arguing about this.

Hey y’all! If you’re a new follower, thanks for following! I’m Lauren, an #airbnbsuperhost Ambassador. I help people list their space on Airbnb! My goal is to set new host up to become #Superhost ! I’m from Hilton Head Island, SC. I now live in the DMV area with my family. I like being outdoors, spending time with loved ones, and food 😋. I recently married my soul mate with our closest family and friends in attendance and it was A TIME 😜😃. I’ll share more content from that weekend later. We use our #basementapartment to #househack . We chose to use it as a #shorttermrental vs. a #longtermrental because I thought we’d make more. I was right and I love it here! Follow us as we continue to learn and grow on our #househackingjourney . Click the link in my bio if you’d like free Airbnb consultation! 💫Button

It is hard to find a nail artist (that’s not in a traditional nail salon) that does manicures and pedicures. I finally found one and I’m grateful!

I gotta give props where props are due. If you’re in the Lowcountry/Coastal Empire 💁🏽♀️, check out @hairby_stone at A Stone Cold Look Salon. The salon is in a convenient location, she was fast 💨, she did me and my daughter’s hair the same day and we were out of there stat! The salon is beautiful and welcoming. The braids held up very well after being in the ocean everyday and washing them! Thank you April for being a part of our special day! #alowcountrylovestory #savannahhairstylist #savannahbraider #georgiabraider #lowcountrybraider #hiltonheadbraids #blufftonbraids #beaufortbraids #blackhaircare #explorepageButton

I get so much joy helping people. Being an @airbnb ambassador allows me to help even more people. This new host featured in my reel had reservations and concerns. We talked through them, and she took action! The most interesting part is this isn’t her property! She presented an opportunity to her boyfriend’s family! Now they are going to allow her to grow this thing and I couldn’t be happier for her and the financial future they are setting up for themselves. If you’d like to connect with me and get help with figuring out how you can become a host use the referral link in my bio. What unique stays would you like to experience?

This was a serious a question I received. Don’t ever fall for this. Aside from the fact that you don’t know them, or, if their mama had them up on Saturdays cleaning baseboards and blinds while listening to Anita Baker, (shoutout to @pamela2949 ) airbnb has a five step cleaning protocol that includes cleaning and then sanitizing. Sanitizing and cleaning are not the same thing. Stick to your set rules, and fees. Be firm in what you have made a standard for your unit(s) and you’ll be successful. Have you ever asked a host this? Don’t lie now, I won’t roast you 😂Button

#airbnb #superhost assessments are around the corner. If you’re a new #airbnbhost you still have time to meet the criteria. Here’s what you’ll need to do. Keep your response rate up. Respond to questions and inquiries quickly. 10 completed stays or 100 nights over 3+ stays. DON’T CANCEL.That’s it’s that’s all!😂. If something is wrong like a serious maintenance issue let Airbnb know instead of just cancelling. They will guide you on the best route to take. And lastly ask for those 5 star ratings! Your ratings should be above 4.8. #Happyhosting y’all! #shorttermrental #shorttermrentals #superhoststatus #househackingstrategy #househacking101 #househackingrealestate #realestateinvestingButton

Things are going to come up at some point but you hate for it to happen when a guest is in the unit 🤦🏽♀️. Here are some tips: React quickly. Assess the issue promptly. If you’re not available to assess the issue, have someone else that you trust assess it quickly. Apologize to your guest! Let them know you’re sorry for the inconvenience the issue has caused and reassure them that you are giving it your prompt attention. Find a solution. Solve the problem as soon as you can, or hire someone else. In this case, I did offer a refund for that night’s stay since the plumber advised he couldn’t come out until the next day due to the snow. He also advised not to use anymore water in the house. Problem solved, guest were happy! 😃 Earn some extra money by using the referral links in my bio! #shithappens💩 #airbnbambassador #shorttermrentalhacks #househackingstrategy #househacker #airbnbsuperhost🏆Button

My god daughter just sent me this beautiful picture with my father in it. It made my whole day and made me boo hoo cry all at the same time. I miss my daddy so much but I appreciate who he was in my life even more. I’m strong because of him, I’m resilient because of him, I don’t give up because of him, I don’t take crap because of him, I love hard because of him, and I’m going to get everything I need and want because he told me I could! Be there for your kids. They will remember even if they’re wilding out right now. Memories don’t die and those pictures help too. Thank you Kaydren❤️ #loveyours #dadsmatter #bethereforyourkids #stillgrievingButton

If you are going to get into the #shorttermrentsl space, put in the effort.

I saw a post that said you’ll need about $10k for furniture for your short term rental. You don’t need that to start. I found these two pieces on FB Marketplace. Work with your own budget. Not the suggested budget. Go big later. #shorttermrentalhacks #househackingstrategy #airbnbsuperhost🏆 #shorttermvacationrentalButton

DON’T TRIP—The other day I posted on my story that a guest mistakenly booked for 1 night instead of 2 and then proceeded to challenge the price. She ended up canceling the booking. But when your unit has great reviews, and the location is pretty good you’re good. Do not stress or allow people to haggle you about your prices. Guest are like buses..miss one next 15 one coming.

I get asked about hosting on Airbnb without owning property EVERY DAY! Do your research on rental arbitrage. While you’re driving around, keep your eye out for signs like this one. Pull over so you don’t hurt yourself, get out, whatever you need to do while being safe 😄 so you can hit the contact information down. Private landlords may be more open to allowing you to use the property as a #shorttermeental than most apartment complexes or HOA communities. This is basically driving for dollars. Get started and let me know if you bag a unit 😉 and use my referral link when you do! Swipe left.Button

ROSS, TJ Maxx, and the other stores under that umbrella are some of my favorite stores to shop at for my #shorttermrental. I don’t know about your ROSS but the store near my house is FULL of stuff right now! They’ve stepped up their home decor section. It’s been real skimpy the past few months. Although my space is fully furnished, I’m always looking for a deal or something that catches my eye. Who knows…maybe I’ll pick up another #airbnb in 2022 😉☺️ Tap in for more information. #airbnbsuperhost #airbnbambassador #superhostButton

When I started hosting on #airbnb I joined some Facebook groups to gain more knowledge. I was stunned to learn people were having issues with bed bugs! I was paranoid and I didn’t wait to purchase mattress encasements as some other host advised. Along with cleaning and sanitizing your space THOROUGHLY after each guest checks out, I think these are essential items for a #shorttermrental . As usual this is my opinion, but, I will say I had someone leave blood on my sheets 😞. Guess what was left untouched??? The mattress and the encasement. Your girl has her bed double strapped. In addition to the encasement I also have a waterproof mattress cover. Nothing will touch this mattress and it is comfortable to have both on there at the same time. 😁 Click the link if you’re ready to list your space.

Lauren here! For those that don’t know me, I’m a working woman, mother, landlord, and Airbnb Superhost Ambassador. I purchased a home last year with the intention of using the separate space as a short term rental to cover the cost of the mortgage so I wouldn’t have to keep paying for housing. Inflation is real and I like using my money to invest to make more money and #househacking was a sensible way for me to do that. My goal is to use money to have more time freedom. I like helping people in anyway that I can so I thought it would be useful to share my experiences, and ideas as I house hack and host on #airbnb. Let me know if you have any questions. There’s a link in the bio with referral links for the platform I use to manage my long term rental properties, and Airbnb where you can host your space as well. Use them to make more money and I’ll make some money too! Ain’t no fun if the homies can’t have none 🤷🏽♀️😂 enjoy the weekend and don’t work too hard y’all. ✌🏾Button

I have been communicating with 15 new host since becoming a Superhost Ambassador. About 80% of them have said they are scared or nervous to publish their listing. I was nervous too. Voices in my head sounded off loudly with every negative thought that could “potentially” happen. My advice to each of them; “Do it scared”.

I had a busy day at work and wanted to wait until I got off to clean the unit. Someone requested to book at 5:00pm and I didn’t see it until I closed my laptop at 5:30. I had to hustle to get it prepared for the next guest. Don’t do this to yourselves 😂 Hire reliable cleaners, a cleaning company that specializes in short term rental turnovers or do it as soon as you can. I take pride in properly cleaning the unit and it’s been hard to let that go. I’m still working on hiring a cleaner 😩 let me know if you know someone good in the DMV area. •Click the link in my bio to watch my YouTube video •Use my referral links to earn yourself money • Get FREE assistance from me to help you become a Superhost.

I’ve learned a lot from reading through the years. I use the #libbyapp to read or listen to books for free. All you need is a library card which is also free. I recently found out that a neighboring county will allow me to get a library card there as well. This library has online courses for free 🤯. Road trip on this holiday!Button

I’m sharing just a few things that Are great to include in your Short term rental. ~Ironing board and iron so guest leave wrinkle free 😊 ~Books! I needed somewhere to put the books I’ve read. All guest are not here to site see. Some want to chill, relax or read before bed time. ~A place where they can work. I’ve had many guest work from the unit while they’re in town. Having a small space to do so can add value. ~Details about the area they’re visiting. An area magazine, brochure of a tour in the area, or a flyer of events all could be useful for guest looking to venture out while visiting. I’ll continue sharing what else I include in my short term rental but for now, what are some things you would want your host to include? #airbnb #airbnbsuperhost #shorttermrental #dmvshorttermrental #airbnbambassador #realestateinvesting #vacationrental #househacking #househack #househackingstrategyButton
