Making her debut on HGTV, Lauren Risley appeared as the host of the brand new renovation show Call the Closer in November 2021. And after just a few episodes, she has captivated viewers with her creativity and skills on the small screen.
But this Lauren Risley bio isn’t about her on-screen details. Instead, let’s dive into her love life—does she have a husband or boyfriend? And also find out her net worth and height at the end of this article.
Lauren Risley on HGTV Call The Closer
The idea to capture moments in Lauren Risley’s world came three years before Call the Closer debuted in 2021. She is a real estate agent who owns a company called Lauren Risley Realty and has built her business through hard work, quickly becoming a top agent in St Louis.
She has been a real estate agent since she was 20 years old. (She first worked for With Keller Williams Southwest.)
An expert on St. Louis’ historic neighborhoods, Lauren has built her career not only buying and selling real estate, but also buying and selling large private companies across the country.
Last we checked, she listed properties priced from $140,000 – $550,000.
Lauren, however, had a business degree in college—which led her to a career in finance, specifically mergers and acquisitions. She loved it at first! “But I didn’t see the next 30, 40 years of my life being spent walking around corporate offices every week,” she says.
Recalling her first job, Lauren shared that when she was 19, she bought her first house, fixed it up, lived there for two years, and sold it. Thus began the cycle.
Also, while in college, a friend of her sister hired her to help him renovate his house. And that’s where she learned things like installing tile—“not the crazy renovation stuff, but the basics,” she says.
But it wasn’t until 2014 that Lauren realized her passion for real estate. Then, as part of her marketing plan, she started posting videos of her work online. Soon after, a local production company, Coolfire Studios, spotted her and brought her to HGVT. The rest is history.
On November 9, 2021, Lauren posted on her IG to promote the show and also to thank Steve Luebbert for “the greatest memories and friendships that will last longer than any TV show.”

Her boyfriend, Scott, is a former police officer who worked for the Ferguson Police Department. He reportedly took his oath in October 2016 and left the force in 2021. To commemorate his time, he even bought a special District badge and displayed it on his Facebook,
Overall, Lauren isn’t shy about showing off her boyfriend on social media. Scott has been featured on Lauren’s IG multiple times, from dates to hikes to just a lazy afternoon.
As for their children, it seems they have a child. However, this speculation is based solely on the adorable pictures of them with a baby on Facebook.
