Following Mom's Footsteps
Growing Up in Real Estate
My mom was a real estate agent, so I grew up watching her work, showing houses, working with buyers and sellers. I love looking through old pictures of my mom and me when we were kids. Getting to do what she used to do makes me so happy.
Property Management Roots (Age 19)
I started in property management at 19, working my way up from leasing agent to property manager. I managed complexes with 600+ units, learning the ins and outs of real estate while knowing I was destined for home sales.
Licensed in 2021
I finally got my real estate license in 2021. I wish I'd gone straight into sales instead of starting in property management, but that experience gave me unique insights that help my clients today.

What My Clients Say
Don't just take my word for it. Here's what families I've worked with have to say.
"All I can say is "Wow, did we actually achieve all of that in just 15 days?" Lana Prinster was AMAZING! We ended up contacting her real estate team after a horrible experience with Compass. Right away we were connected with Lana. She made herself available immediately to show us several homes. We found "the one" within the first night and she quickly jumped into action."
Jessica B., Buyer
"Working with Lana was a fantastic experience! She is honest, helpful, full of positive energy and truly cares about her clients. I almost thought my dream neighborhood was out of reach, but thanks to her expertise and determination, I ended up securing a great home there at a fantastic price. Lana's network is incredible, she was able to quickly find answers to all of my questions and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!"
Megan K., Buyer
"Lana Prinster was such a dream to work with! She was extremely patient in the 2 years it took to find the perfect home. When we finally found "the one" she met me on short notice to tour the home and submit an offer the first day on the market. By morning, we were under contract! We were on a time crunch to get the old house listed and start showings. Lana was incredible in coordinating open houses, showings, calling me to review offers, and set up the buyers inspections while I was out of town!"

The Hard Deals Are the Most Rewarding
After we've jumped through so many hoops: tough inspections, challenging appraisals, issues that keep popping up, it makes it feel even better when we finally close and my buyers are happily moving in. When a client texts me to say how happy they are and how much they love their home, I know my job is done. That's what drives me.
Lana Prinster
St. Louis Through and Through
I grew up in Florissant off Parker Road, then moved to O'Fallon when I was about 8. I attended St. Dominic High School before graduating from Fort Zumwalt North, then went on to St. Charles Community College. I lived in New Town for a couple years in my early twenties, and now I call Wentzville home.
Living across the St. Louis metro my whole life gives me unique insight into what makes each area special, and which neighborhood might be the perfect fit for you and your family.

Treats You Like Family
Our relationship doesn't end at closing. That's just where it begins.
Why Gateway Realty Group
I wanted to be in a team setting with accountability, support, and a community around me. Gateway felt like the next level of growth I needed. When I joined, it just clicked.
What sets Gateway apart? We stick to our goals. We set them, we hit them, and we stay accountable all year long. But we aren't just about work. We take time to enjoy life, grow closer as a team, and live the best lives we possibly can.
We're all like family at Gateway, and we treat our clients like family too. My relationship with clients doesn't end at closing. In fact, that's just where it begins. I keep in touch, follow clients on social media, stop by to see them, and invite them to team events.

Beyond Real Estate
When I'm not helping families find their dream home, here's what I'm up to.
Family Life
I'm married to my husband Steven, and we have two sons: Cash and Cooper. I also have 2 brothers and 1 sister. Family is everything to me. We love hanging out with friends and family on weekends, doing game nights, and just being together.



Outdoors & Adventures
When it's nice out, you'll always find me and my boys outside doing something. Golf cart rides, four-wheeler rides, fishing, playing outside, or taking my boys to see the cows at grandpa's house. We're very outdoorsy people. We go for walks all the time and we're always on the move. I also love going to the beach with my boys whenever we can!



Favorite Spots & Date Nights
Steven and I love going out on a nice date night to dinner on weekends. One of our favorite spots during the week is Texas Roadhouse. I absolutely love Cooper's Hawk and Prasino's in St. Charles. Steven and I love taking the boys to Frankie Martin's Garden in Cottleville. For girls' nights, I love a good hibachi dinner! And nothing beats a good domino game night at home or a comedy show with friends.
