Colleen Lawler

Colleen Lawler is a St Louis native. She’s been married to a very patient and wonderful man (Jack) for about 39 years, and they have 3 grown children (Jenny, John and Caitlin), as well as 3 grandchildren (Jack, Lyla and Harper). Colleen’s family means the world to her, just as yours probably does to you. She enjoys travel and the outdoors, and someday she will hopefully have the time and learn how to cook as well as her mom.

Colleen has worked at Coldwell Banker Gundaker for over 28 years because she respects the leadership of this company and the tools they provide to her for her buyers and sellers.

Colleen is the “team leader” for The Irvine Team. She is the #1 agent for the #1 company in the St Louis market. Colleen is consistently in the top 5 agents for ALL companies in St Louis…and she is recognized as one of the top 250 listing agents in the country in the Wall Street Journal. Colleen is lucky to have such success, but she believes that luck involves a lot of hard work. She is usually the first one in the office, and often the last to leave. Colleen is competitive. She believes that if you are going to do something, you should do it very well.

Colleen’s team consists of experienced agents that are smart and have a lot of heart. Those attributes are the most critical requirements for anyone who aspires to work with them. Collectively they work hard and are proud of their accomplishments. Colleen doesn’t believe there is a stronger real estate team in St Louis.

Colleen’s personal goal is to simplify the process of buying and selling real estate for her clients, and meet their goals and needs to the best of her ability.

She helps her clients by understanding and conveying current market trends, utilizing cutting edge technology in every aspect of her business, and helping her clients make the connections needed for their success.
