About Luisa

In a market where decisions move quickly, she is known for helping her clients slow down, understand the numbers, and make choices that truly serve their future and not just the moment. With a background spanning financial analysis, structured credit, and real estate development, Luisa brings a level of strategy to her work that goes far beyond the typical transaction.

Her perspective has also been shaped by life as a military spouse, having lived overseas and navigated the challenges of relocation, uncertainty, and building stability in new places. That experience gives her a deep understanding of what “home” really means and why the right one matters. Luisa is especially passionate about helping families and professionals use real estate as a tool for building long-term wealth. Whether guiding a first-time buyer or advising on a strategic investment, she combines data-driven insight with a calm, thoughtful approach that makes even the most complex decisions feel manageable.

A true team player who looks out for your best interests and seeks the best deal

I was lucky to make a good connection with Shane when we met for fist time while touring the apartment. I knew I could truly trust him to guide me through the novel and challenging process ahead as a first-time homebuyer, and consequently, secure the best deal. I really appreciate his expertise and command of the subject, his ability to explain things clearly (and repeat them if necessary!), his great manners, his calm and relaxed demeanor without losing professionalism, and his knack for understanding exactly what I was looking for—as well as the specific needs and concerns of a young expat buying their first home. He always respected my pace as I processed everything. I value immensely the fact that he was present at every stage, working as a true team player, and looking out for my best interests as a buyer to find the option that suited me best. Thanks Shane for all the hard work, as well as the constant guidance and support throughout the process! I am proud to call him both my agent and my friend.

A true partner in the home buying process

From Day 1, Shirin was proactive and relentless in searching for homes with us, hyper-responsive, knowledgable, and always in our corner. Always honest, even if it wasn't in her best interest. Learned our likes and dislikes and tastes. The exact type of partner you want in the home buying process. We wouldn't think of doing another real estate transaction without her input, and we're now lucky to call her a friend, too!

Great experience!

Working with Sebastien Courret as a real estate agent for the sale of my old house and the purchase of the new house has been a great experience. First of all, I liked his kindness, calmness and professionalism. I could count on his advice for the sale. I really appreciated his patience for the purchase when choices were very difficult to make. Sebastien was always in a good mood. I could contact him at any time. I recommend his services without hesitation to anyone looking for a new home without racking their brains too much. I wish continued success to Sebastien and his clients.

Luisa Made Our Home buying Journey Easy. She is Professional, Patient, and Knowledgeable.

As a first-time homebuyer, We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Luisa. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the entire process. She took the time to answer all of our questions, explained everything clearly, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel much easier and more manageable. We truly felt that she had our best interests at heart every step of the way. We are so grateful for all her hard work and dedication in helping us find our first home. Wish we could give her 10 stars. We highly recommend Luisa to anyone looking to buy a home!
