Louise and Katie were incredible! They sold our house for $100,000 over asking in less than 1 week. Louise is an expert at “reading” a home. She knows exactly which aspects to enhance, and which ones to tone down to subtle. I would highly recommend the Lovewell team to sell your home!

We could not have had a better experience in selling our mother’s house as we did with Louise Lovewell.

As we were not local, we relied on the Lovewells to handle every aspect of…

I’m sure I’m not the first to say this, but the Lovewell team puts the “love” in everything that they do involving real estate.

The Lovewell Team are experienced professionals. They handled my home sale in Alameda, from the estate sale and emptying the house all the way through to remodeling, staging and the eventual sale. The title to the house was listed in a trust by my deceased partner. Louise and Bridget did an excellent job of navigating…
