I could not recommend Lou enough if you are looking for a realtor. As first time homebuyers, Lou guided us through every step of what had previously seemed like a daunting process, and made it seem easy. She is extremely knowledgable, friendly, communicative, and advocated for us to be able to get into our dream home. We seriously could not have done it with out her!

Purchased a home in Santa Rosa

Lou is truly the best. She made buying our dream home a total breeze and gave us all the helpful info and reassurances we needed as first-time homebuyers. She's so easy to talk to and provides a sense of comfort throughout an (often) stressful process. We LOVE Lou and you will too!

Bought a home in Petaluma.

Lou. There are no words fit to describe her power. Best experience I had working with a realtor hands down. She put so many personal touches into her work including going to my house when I was out of town to check on my cats and bring a package in. White glove service!! She met me where I was at every step and pushed me to think outside the box whenever we hit a hurdle due to the demanding market. I will 1000% use her professional expertise again when it comes time to buying or selling another home. P.S. she was very courteous and understanding to all the pet hair when working on paperwork with me (I had 8 pets). Any animal lover like her gets my approval!
