My husband and I recently decided to move after forty years. So much had changed in the real estate business. Fortunately, we found Lou Rangel as our agent.
By listening to his advice and suggestions, we were able to successfully sell our home quickly and for more money than we expected. Had it not been for Lou’s expertise and experience, I believe we would not have had such an excellent outcome. We wholeheartedly recommend Lou as your next agent. He is truly the best!

If you are looking for a new home then Lou is your guy! This man extended so much grace and patience towards us! I knew what I didn’t want more than what I DID want. He patiently worked with us as we navigated a very difficult season for our family. He took us to all the places and drove the distance to help us narrow down the one that became our own. So look no further than Lou Rangel to help you find the one you are looking for too. You will be truly blessed!

Lou is great with getting the best offers. He really is knowledgeable trends and marketing homes. Lou helped me in selling two homes. Both homes going under contract within hours of going on the market.
