Testimonials

Lou and his team were instrumental in getting me to the final offer stage on multiple properties. They worked tirelessly on nights and weekends to get the offers submitted on time. At one property, we had to view and submit an offer on the same day (a Saturday), within less than 6 hours of viewing the unit! His team’s determination gave me the advantage in a competitive offer situation time and again. Finally, I was able to purchase a property during December 2020 after actively searching for over two months.

“First and foremost, Lou Vivas truly had my families best interest at heart! He showed us homes tailored to our present and future needs all while pointing out honest pros and cons of the homes. He and his team were patient with us, always available to answer any questions we had and more. I am extremely happy with our new home and how easy he made it!”

“In more than 50 years in Washington, I have bought and sold a considerable number of personal properties. Lou Vivas and his exceptional team handled my recent transactions. It had never occurred to me that such attention could be part of the package.

Lou and his team helped us jump on a property we fell in love with at a moment’s notice. They continued to help us stay on top of important deadlines to make a stressful process seamless. We had a great experience with the whole team! We highly recommend Lou!

Lou was an amazing throughout the process. Trustworthy, knowledgeable and hardworking, we knew Lou had our back and made what can be a stressful process as easy as possible.

Thanks to Viva The Life…..Lou, Issa and their team were professional and helped me find my New Home 😁 I couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent….responsive to your needs and goes out of their way to ensure your experience is better than expected!! Thank you 😊 🏠

Lou and his team made our process seamless and so much less stressful than we expected as first time home buyers during a pandemic! From walking us through the home buying process, to making sure we were comfortable with every step, through closing, they did it all. Lou was very communicative throughout the process and able to listen to our concerns and address them. Specifically, with COVID very much the elephant in the room, Lou did virtual showings for us on several properties to narrow it down to a select few for us to walk through and when we did he made sure it was done safely. Once we found our dream home, Lou quickly helped us secure the deal with his experience and thoughtful suggestions, ultimately leading to our offer being accepted when there were multiple on the home. His team did not skip a beat, and was on

Selling a home is a major life decision and is stressful. Having a skilled, knowledgeable, patient agent will not only get you the best price but make the event as stress-free as possible. Lou was there every step of the way, coordinating a contractor, stager, mover, explaining his strategy for the asking price, etc. He does a classy Open House & used effective marketing. Four days after my house went on the market I [received] many offers, and sold for $130,000 over asking. I highly recommend Lou and his team. He is AWESOME!

We love Lou! We couldn’t have hoped for a better agent to work with to sell our home and buy a new home. The process of selling and buying for a family with young children can be very stressful, but Lou helped us navigate everything as painlessly as possible. We needed to sell our house first in order to buy a new home. He helped us get a great offer on our house within days of listing it and with minimal disruption for our family. He also helped us get a rent back agreement so we wouldn’t have to move twice after selling our home. Once our house was under contract, he immediately began to show us as many houses as possible within our parameters to help us find a new home. Lou knew that it was important to us to be able to move from our current home straight

Before we chose Lou Vivas, we interviewed several realtors. Now, he’s the first person we’d call! Lou went above and beyond. He worked diligently over five months to find us the right house, in a competitive market, with a limited budget, and complicated financing. Lou’s sound advice helped us make decisions with confidence, as he kept the process moving. Lou is attentive and organized. His honesty and work ethic demonstrate he genuinely cares about his clients. Lou is super responsive—no matter what time of day or night. Lou rapidly helped us submit several offers, and even prepared one on a Saturday night! Lou’s knowledge and expertise helped us surmount obstacles related to house showings, bidding, inspections, repair negotiations, contractual details, and closing. Lou is a problem-solver and successfully negotiated on our behalf with: sellers, lenders, and contractors. His insistence on a second inspection—to confirm work had been done right—netted us

I had the pleasure of working with Lou and Chris, and I couldn’t be happier. They were both very professional, honest and their extensive network and resources lead to the quick sale of my apartment. I couldn’t have asked for more. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to buying or selling a home.

I cannot say enough positive things about Lou and his team. We met Lou at an open house, and from there we knew we would want him on our side to help us find our first home. Lou was incredibly responsive, available, and willing to answer any questions we had about the process (as first time buyers, we had A LOT of questions). Everything was taken care of by Lou; he was constantly sending us new listings, updating us on other listings, and scheduling home tours for potential homes. When we found the home for us, Lou’s absolute best quality came through when we needed it most. Lou and his team helped us put together a winning offer in an immensely competitive situation, with over ten offers on the property we eventually won. Lou had the knowledge and savvy to beat out every other bid on the table to put

Viva the Life Rocks! Lou knows the area very well and is very well-connected to smart and talented people who will make your homebuying experience comfortable, not stressful.

Lou and Chris were great to work with. They were responsive, proactive, and knowledgeable, everything you’d want in real estate agents. Lou also had great people to refer for help with all other aspects of the process once I found the right property. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the area.

His personality, experience, and knowledge of the local market are why my wife, Shari, and I chose Lou as our real estate agent. As first time home buyers, Lou listened and was responsive to our needs. Since he was representing us as buyers, it’s important not to feel like you are being up sold. You should feel comfortable when home shopping and Lou put us at ease. In addition to the small personal touches, Lou has a great network and connected us to many great people throughout, from our mortgage lender to our home inspector, to our title company. This made the entire process was smooth and because of his relationships, we got great service and saved money! We always felt like we had a champion in our corner and now we’re living the life!
