Coldwell Banker Caine promotes Lauren Buckland to executive vice president of sales

Proven luxury real estate leader steps into expanded role to drive sales growth across the Upstate

Coldwell Banker Caine, a leading real estate company serving Upstate South Carolina for more than 90 years, announced the promotion of Lauren Buckland to executive vice president of sales.

In this key leadership role, Buckland is now responsible for brokers across the region and will have a direct influence on the company’s revenue generation.

Buckland steps into this position just over a year after joining Coldwell Banker Caine as vice president of sales and broker-in-charge for the company’s Greenville office—a role she continues to hold. Her decision to join the firm was driven by its collaborative culture, commitment to innovation, and unwavering focus on client experience—all values that align with her leadership philosophy.

“Lauren is a strategic thinker and a natural leader whose deep industry knowledge has already made a significant impact on our organization,” said Amanda Hamet, president of Coldwell Banker Caine. “She embodies the values we hold dear—service, excellence, and community—and we’re thrilled to have her leading our sales efforts during this exciting time of growth.”

With more than 15 years of experience in luxury real estate and new development, Buckland has built a career on developing high-performing teams and elevating the customer journey. Prior to joining Caine, she served as broker-in-charge and director of sales at The Cliffs, where she led sales across seven private luxury communities in the Carolinas and played an instrumental role in positioning the brand as a premier lifestyle destination.

“I’m honored to step into this role and continue working alongside a team that truly prioritizes people—both within the company and across the communities we serve,” said Buckland. “Coldwell Banker Caine’s dedication to collaboration, innovation, and service is what drew me in, and I’m excited to help shape the future of our business in a way that supports both our agents and our clients.”

A native of Upstate South Carolina and a graduate of Clemson University, Buckland is known for her thoughtful leadership and people-first approach—qualities that have made her a trusted mentor and collaborator throughout her career. In her expanded role as executive vice president of sales, she will oversee company-wide sales initiatives, mentor and support agents across markets, and help drive strategic growth throughout Coldwell Banker Caine’s residential division.
