Lou went above and beyond the requirements of a real estate agent during a search for our new home. We can't say enough good things about Lou. Highly, highly recommend Lou!
Tim and JeanetteLou is fabulous. He is knowledgeable about the area and the condition of homes in the area. He was very patient with us as our search took a little bit of time to get everything that we wanted in our budget. At each house Lou would check the plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc. I learned quite a bit about homes in Florida from Lou.
Lee StoreyLou Simonetti was truly exceptional while helping us find and purchase our perfect 2nd home. I found Lou online through Zillow.com. Lou has built homes and is very knowledgeable about a homes structural components/longevity. Over a 2-year period, we visited Florida (from Michigan) and did many in person, home viewings AND virtual viewings with Lou. Several offers were made on other homes but not accepted so we figured the homes were not meant to be ours. We recently made an offer to purchase a home, after a virtual viewing with Lou. This is something we thought we would never do. Our offer was accepted! The home was built in 2014. At the time of inspection, we knew the home needed new glass for the sliding door, and 25 roof tiles needed to be replaced prior to our interest rate/lock expiration for closing. The repairs and inspection was coordinated seamlessly by our realtor, Lou Simonetti. He treated our home purchase as if it were his own. Lou looked out for us and had our best interests in mind. He went above and beyond to help us and made sure the work was done correctly. Lou is very honest, trustworthy, and we cannot thank him enough. We AB-SO-LUTE-LY LOVE our New Home! When we are looking to buy or sell in the future, we will not hesitate to call Lou Simonetti.
Paul and Rose MarekLou went above and beyond what was expected of him. He worked with us to make sure everything we asked for was done and then some. He stayed on top of the other agent to ensure the property was available to view. His professionalism was outstanding. He was able to get the closing moved up and finished when the title company was giving him a hard time about it. I would and have recommended Lou to other people that have asked for a reputable agent. Would use him again.
Robert Holloway"We made a trip to cape coral just to look at the area and decided to view a few homes. We fell in love with a home and decided to make an offer. This was post Ian and the real estate landscape was very challenging. We were so grateful we had Lou to guide us through the process. He knew the area so well and got us a great mortgage guy to work with. Such a great person to work with."
Baydreamin 1Fantastic! We were from Wisconsin therefore we had very little time to look at homes. But Lou scheduled many homes for us to look at during our short time. He was very informative and extremely helpful. Lou went out of his way to help and guide us in purchasing our new home as well as helping us with some issues with the sale of our home in Wisconsin. I can’t express enough the gratitude we have in having Lou as our Realtor. We have recommended him to some friends contemplating moving here from Michigan. I will always recommend him to anyone looking for the best.
Nancy and Dave BeyerleMy wife and I worked with Lou for more than a year while looking for a condo. Lou was very patient and responsive with all our requests. His expertise, knowledge of the different areas, and advice were greatly appreciated. We were extremely satisfied with the service Lou provided. When it comes time to sell, Lou will definitely be our first call.
RemburyI have bought and sold tons of property in my lifetime and I’ve had good and not so good realtors. Lou is one of the best I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Honest, knowledgeable, responsive, and a great communicator, Lou made my process much easier than it could have been given some of the challenges that came up for us. From the very first interaction. as a buyer, I always felt Lou was representing me and my interest 100%. I felt I could trust him, and he didn’t disappoint. I would recommend Lou to anyone buying or selling property. 2090 W. 1st St. #E2505, Fort Myers, FL 33901
Ishmel GoodrumLou Simonetti and his wife Judy are by far the best realty team we have ever encountered. We live in Illinois and only saw our prospective home searches in Fort Myers via Lou and Judy. Not once did we need to question either. My wife Darlene and I actually purchased a condo in Fort Myers based on our visuals of the property but without reservation Lou’s recommendations. In closure we would have not obtained a home in Fort Myers without Lou and Judy!
Kevin and DarleneI am so glad that I chose Lou Simonetti to assist me in finding my new home in Cape Coral, Florida. Lou is very patient, dedicated, knowledgeable and extremely talented. He saw me through the entire process to purchase my home from start to finish during this “wild real estate market”. He professionally represented me and acted in my best interest every step of the way. If you are looking for someone who will go above and beyond, then Lou is your guy!
Holly JaskolskiLou has a ton of knowledge of Cape Coral. He knows what the areas have to offer and what issues may arise at certain locations. He was accommodating and informative Lou is my go to!!e of Cape Coral. He knows what the areas have to offer and what issues may arise at certain locations. He was accommodating and informative Lou is my go to!!
Jack CarnesLou was an excellent agent, we were buying and he went above and beyond his duties. He is not just and agent looking for a commission, he explains everything to you when he is showing a house, he tells you what to look for, he sees things you might miss, he is very thorough. Tells you if the neighborhood is a good one or not. He will tell you if the roof is in need of replacing, things you will need to consider after buying a house, which means expenses you will need to have if we bought. I had good communication with him, I was buying a house that was located three hours from us, local area to Lou and he would be so kind to do facetime with us to show me the house and go over it when we couldn't make it. He is an EXCELLENT agent and I would recommend him 1000%, he is A++++ type of guy. You will not go wrong with him.
Marines Caraballo"I can’t say enough about Lou-he was amazing!! I found him by chance and could not be happier! Sincere, professional, knowledgeable, and and a downright nice guy! Lou helped us find the house of our dreams and connected me with all the professionals I needed to make this transaction happen! Thanks Lou-you’re the best!! :)"
Anne and Stan BronickiLou is great and you will not do better. Swiftly quick to find the right house, negotiate and close and I am now in FL. Only 90 days and bam. Lou is also a great guy, always available and is now a friend. It does not get better than that!
Will SeippelLou was a true professional and way above and beyond what I have got in the past from other agents. He is proactive and constantly working on your behalf. Searching and buying a home remotely from Singapore as expected can be challenging. Lou proactively communicated, shared information, pictures, videos and made sure he followed up on my behalf with the seller. He also then recommended other partners I can work for other aspects of setting up my new home. Would highly recommend Lou.
ShivaWe bought a 4 unit building in Cape Coral Florida and Lou was the broker. Being that we reside outside of Florida, Lou went above and beyond what a broker would normally do. He answered calls at night, emails, anything we needed he took care of. Also at the closing he had a list of contacts that he provided us for maintenance, pools, landscaping, you name it. And they were all great connections and they turned out to be great. We closed a month ago and he still a checks in on us to make sure we are doing ok. He has made owning a building out of state very easy on us. We HIGHLY recommend Lou!
Jerry SheehyWe worked with Lou and would absolutely recommend him. He is very knowledgeable, understands the local area and the nuances which go with it and has good little tips on what to look for, etc.
Sundar TammaLou is the best! Worked very hard to find us two homes. One in 2019 and another in 2021. Professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Good job Lou! Let’s do it again soon!
Bill VargaLou Simonetti is simply the best SW Fl has to offer when it comes to buying and selling real estate. We chose him when we were looking to buy a home and he worked with us until we finally found exactly what we wanted. It took a while but he stuck with us. When we found something we wanted he was quick to act and follow up. We put in several offers and he was always optimistic and ready to try again. The market is very tight and you need someone who is ready and willing to move at a moments notice if you want to get your dream home. Louie is your guy!! He is honest, quick with paperwork, and never leaves anything to chance. He is detail oriented, knows his business well, and is always quick to follow up. He is persistent and always works on your behalf whether you are buying or selling. He also sold that house for us some years later...when the market was just right and at a profit we did not expect. I can't promise he'll always be this great...I can only tell you our experience with him. He is simply the best!
Tom and Debbie StaufferWe loved working with Lou. He is down to earth, responsive, experienced, and knowledgeable. He always listened to our thoughts and concerns and gave us good feedback. I would definitely recommend working with him.
Chanel SorensonWe were connected to Lou using Zillow and we were very happy this worked out. Lou is an outstanding realtor, responsive, knowledgeable and really understood what we were looking for. One of the things about Lou that really stood out is they way he looked out for our best interests. We are not from Florida so we had a lot to learn. Lou would tell us straight up if he felt the property was not a good value or thought we should keep looking. Even when it came to closing, Lou was concerned about deeding over the property to builder and gave me resources to understand my options. There was not benefit to him, he was sincerely looking out for me and my family.
Megan M.Lou Simonetti provides brilliance at its best. His years of experience make him the perfect pick for anyone looking to find a home. Lou was able to help me and my family purchase our very first home and as a first time home buyer I was intimidated by the process. He was very patient and helped every step of the way. Highly recommended.
Brandon Cabreja"I found Lou on Zillow's website and after reading his review I decided to contact him. From day one, Lou explained us about the details of Cape Coral and what areas I should be looking, and the areas I should stay away from. Lou took utmost care of our requirments and helped us search /advice on the perfect property of our dreams. Every time he showed us the property, he provided plenty of information/videos so we could make appropriate decision. Lou helped us on each and every step of the purchase process. Right from sending contract, inspection and closing. He also helping me find the right guys for mortgage, inspection etc. He connected us to the right rental company since I need to rent it out. In a nutshell, Lou's experience and customer service is top class. We made the right choice to work with him and I will always work with him for all my future real estate needs in Cape Coral. THANK YOU very Lou! Hrushi and Neha"
Hrushikesh JadhavVery responsive, nice, and great great follow up. Professional and precise... i would recommend Lou over and over again. His knowledges of the local is superb and great recommendations either if you are going to buy or build. Lou can help ... All you gotta do is ask!
Bao LeMy husband and I met Lou in Cape Coral after spending two weekends with another real estate agent who obviously did not want to listen to what we were looking for. I am an ex realtor from another state, and can be very picky. A friend of ours said he had met Lou once didn’t know him well but thought he was a great agent. Guess what he was what we were looking for in an agent and to listen to our needs. He came to work for us ! We came from out of state and Lou had our back looking at houses FaceTiming us, letting us know what’s available, as we're in a market where things go the first day. Had a few rough patches going to closing but he made it happen. If you need a realtor, Lou is your guy.? He’s like an extension of our family, if you need a guy to go a few extra miles he’ll go 100.
Karen Patrick and Doug KaiserMy wife and I were concerned about buying a home from our of state during the pandemic, given the inability to see and feel each home we looked at to know what was right for us. Lou actually made this process not only easy, but perhaps even better, as he did a narrated video tour of each home that we could view from home at our convenience. Once we settled on a house we loved, he was gracious enough to take care of everything for us even post settlement, from transferring utilities, assisting with contractors and vendors who needed access, and all the little things that come up with moving and furnishing a house. We can't say enough about Lou's efforts, especially in the current environment!
Marc LabadieWe have both bought and sold a home through Lou. We moved to Cape Coral, Florida from Missouri and had no knowledge of the area at all. We came knowing nothing about the city, and there are many things to consider! We had a lot of questions and Lou took the time to educate us and help us choose a home. Then, a little over a year later we decided we needed to be near family again, even though we loved Cape Coral. We knew exactly what realtor to call to sell our home. Lou had us listed and under contract in a week. We definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell, because he goes above and beyond what is expected. He is knowledgeable, professional and we consider him a good friend as well. Call him you will be glad you did!
Jim and Sarah DriverLou Simonetti was my Realtor for my house at 396 Dorchester St., Port Charlotte. He was professional, informative and always got back to me. He did a great job with the video. He had a lot of good suggestions and I always felt he had my best interest. I definitely would recommend him to others. He did a great job in canvassing the other houses in the area that were on the market for comparisons. Everything was done in a timely fashion. I felt at the end of our dealings, he was a friend. Thanks. Ellen Donovan
Ellen DonovanWe cannot thank Lou enough for all of the work he did in getting our home sold. Early morning texting, late night phone calls and emails; always positive and always cheerful. He was terrific at negotiating and keeping us informed during the process. Lou is very knowledgeable and was a pleasure to work with.
Becky and Ves SwiftLou’s honesty made working with him very easy. He has a great online process with videos of our property. The sale process was made easy for us. Lou is a full time professional Realtor and provides his full attention to you. What a great guy!
Coy FamilyI both I both bought and sold a home with Lou. He was always knowledgeable, prepared, courteous, available and punctual. I would absolutely recommend Lou to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Chuck SaboLou was extremely helpful during our entire experience. He helped us put our house on the market and buy a new house at the exact same time. Lou knew exactly how to juggle it all and plan it out, so we were able to close on both houses the same day. He works hard to get exactly what you want and offers great advice throughout the whole process. My husband and I could not imagine having anyone else as our realtor.
We were moving from out of state and had little knowledge of the entire Ft Myer, Naples area. I contacted a realtor friend also from out of state and she chose Lou for us!!! He was so perfect. He set everything up for us. Met us at the airport when we flew in to look at a specific property and proceeded to guide us through a great buying experience! We were back out of town up until the closing and Lou took care of everything! I would recommend him to anyone and my realtor friend now has him down as her go to agent in this area! You will not be disappointed!! Thank you Lou
Jim & JeanneLou - simply the best! All was done electronically in record time from bid to closing. Thank you again Lou and all of the individuals involved in making my home purchase simple and very professional. See you soon Lou and thanks again. It’s been a pleasure.
Bill VargaThis was based on customer Feedback
Reached Best of Zillow - Outstanding Customer ServiceLou Simonetti is one of the finest, caring, Professional real estate agents my wife and I have come across in SW Florida.

He's great at it, and It’s very effective on the quick sale of your home. It got me!!! Thank you Again Lou.
Joe & Kim ButtacavoliWe came to Cape Coral in February, just to get a feel for the area. Started looking at homes for sale and called for information on one. We had the good fortune of getting a call back from Lou, who came out to the home and met us. He was very helpful and ended up showing us several more houses. We were unable to actually make any offers at that time since our home in Missouri needed to be sold. We went back home to prepare it for listing. During this time, Lou sent us numerous listings that we could view online and gave us tips on what we should do to get our house ready to sell. We were able to sell it quickly, returned to Florida and were shown several more homes. Lou's knowledge of the area was extensive and he helped us choose the right house for us. We would highly recommend his expertise to anyone looking to buy property in this area.
Jim & Sara DriverLou was absolutely wonderful in helping us find and purchase our Florida home. He was knowledgeable and went the extra mile to help us wade through some of the inspections and repairs as well as our bank financing. We have nothing but good to say about Lou and would definitely recommend him to others.
Duane and Gail SwensonWe met Lou on our first trip down to Cape Coral to find a vacation property. We were unable to find something on that trip but in the following months Lou helped us define what we were really looking for. When we returned 6 months later we found exactly what we were looking for that first day! Lou was our boots on the ground before we returned and weeded out those properties that would not be a good fit for us. Lou continued to walk us gently through the whole process, reining us in when we got ahead of ourselves. His knowledge about the Cape and real estate was priceless. We would highly recommend Lou to anyone wanting a home on the Cape.
Lynne & EmiLou is Lou is very detailed oriented and kept me posted on every necessary step along the way through closing. The property was owned by foreign investors and Lou was familiar with the additional requirements for international owners and buyers.
David RehmIt took us It took us about 6 months to buy our home as we had begun showing interest in April, but could not look at homes until the fall. Lou kept us informed, throughout that entire period, about all the homes for sale in the area in which we wanted to live. The other agents kind of disappeared until fall. By the time we got to look, we felt as though we were somewhat familiar with the area - because of all the information sent to us by Lou over the months. I was not able to make the closing so Lou did it for me. Everything went very smoothly and I will recommend Lou when my daughter moves into the area. He's a good man and he got what he earned in my case. I highly recommend him.
Jim BombulieMy Mom and Dad received mail in Canada from various realtors doing business in Florida This coinciding with the end date of a sale contract previously signed with another real estate company. My Mom and Dad attention stuck on Mr. Lou Simonetti flyer. At the same time, I was also helping them searching the internet for another realtor. My search led me to the same Remax office that Mr. Simonetti works for. Everything aligned itself perfectly… My Dad headed to Florida to meet with Lou. It’s was a done deal that same afternoon. Not even a month and a half later, we had 2 offers on the house. House sold a couple of weeks after. Mr. Simonetti knowledge of the real estate market in south west Florida is remarkable. Aside from his real estate business expertise, Mr. Simonetti is a good person. He was very attentive to my folks preoccupations and expectations. He is very well-spoken and is simply a fun person to speak with. I myself meet Lou a bit before the sale was completed, I really enjoyed sharing a few laugh’s with him. I suggest anyone trying to buy or sell a house in Cape Coral or even anywhere in the south west, give Lou a call. You won’t be disappointed Thank you for everything Mr. Simonetti. Hope I get to meet with you again next time that I’m in Cape Coral Ciao Ciao from Montreal, Canada
Frank DelGiaccoLou Simonetti has been absolutely wonderful. He has gone out of his way to help me. I have a husband who has dementia and Lou did everything he could for me. I highly recommend him as a real estate professional, and a very good friend.
Diane WindhorstThe Coronatos would like to express our gratitude to Mr. Simonetti. He is truly one of the best realtors we have ever worked with . His exemplary hands on knowledge is an asset to anyone Sellers, Buyers, Title companies, Banks, other realtors and all involved in the real estate transaction ! Lou is a Keeper ! Truly a special person.
Ed & DoreenLou has been our realtor for many transactions. He is honest, professional, very hardworking and always looking out for the best for his clients. From presentation to closing his awareness to details is superior.
Ron & LeeAnnLou has been a neighbor for many years and a morning walker as we are. We mentioned moving out of state near our daughter, and he suggested that since he knows the neighborhood so well, he handle the sale of our home. And he did, bringing us different price options and corresponding timeline scenarios. In 18 days, we had a firm offer on the house and things proceeded as expected from that point forward. He was well prepared for closing, which went off without a problem, and we left immediately, assured that the money had been transferred into our account. Yes, we would recommend his services highly
MJ and EdI live in Arizona and had a home in Cape Coral, Florida. I have worked with many realtors off and on to try to sell my property. A letter arrived in my mailbox from Lou Simonetti! After all the failed attempts and disappointments with other realtors, I thought, ONE MORE TRY! I contacted Lou. He was direct, honest, knowledgeable and with complete confidence assured me he could sell my property. He did as promised! Lou went above and beyond any expectations to complete the sale of my property. It was a pleasure to work with Lou. Living out of state, to this day I have not met him. I hope I have the opportunity to work with Lou in the future.
Ann GastonSelling a home I thought would be rather quick and simple. Never taken into the equation of a hurricane. Residents are looking for roof repairs all at the same time. Back orders of pool screens for months. So the house came off the market, till all repairs completed. I thank Lou Simonetti for his complete dedication. What I though was an “AWESOME” walk-thru video of the house on the internet, was done remarkably well, His eye for detail, to the smallest thing. Final analysis, home sold. Had to come down in price, but the kicker, I get to live in house for 18 months’ rent free. I move 10/31/19. What a deal.
Mary Ann LogueIf you want a realtor that’ll go above and beyond to help you get the house you want at the price you want, you have to talk to Lou. He always looked after my best interest. Besides being super responsible and responsive his knowledge about the SWFL area is superb. This guy is the real deal, one of the few honest guys out there. Me and my family will forever be grateful for having the luck of working with a realtor of his caliber. The Rivera family
The Rivera FamilyLou helped my family purchase a home this year. He has a construction background was able to point out details we may have missed during our walkthroughs. He was also very patient and did not mind when I brought my children along.
Amber and NickWe went through three realtors before we found Lou Simonetti. He is personable, knowledgeable and a phenomenal realtor. Lou went out of his way to find us our first home. He listened to what we were looking and didn't stop until he found it. When touring through homes, Lou made an effort to point out all of the positive and negative aspects while giving us history about the neighborhood. He is in this business not for the money but to satisfy his customers. You will not be disappointed with him as your realtor.
Alex HerbMy wife and I had the opportunity to meet Lou Simonetti, in the last 1 to 2 months. Mr. Simonetti, was very helpful and thorough during our home search and ultimate purchase of our dream home in Florida. He assisted us with all aspects or our purchase from lender to closing. His expertise in real estate, his patience, and willingness to work along side with us was very much appreciated. We would certainly recommend working with Lou.
Jim and Angie HorvathLou Simonetti assisted me in purchasing my first home. Starting this process I was very scared and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning Lou was very knowledgeable and did an amazing job explaining everything to me. He kept in contact with me throughout the process and helped to ensure a smooth closing. Although I hope to stay in my new home for years to come, I can not wait to work with Lou again. I would recommend Lou and Marlin Realty to anyone I know. I am confident in his abilities for all your home buying needs. Thanks Lou for an awesome job and making a very stressful and emotional process very easy and quick
Amanda MingioneLou Simonetti, is the best realtor we have ever worked with, he always goes above and beyond the call of duty. We have utilized his services on the sales side as well as the buyer side and had exceptional experiences with both. His industry knowledge combined with his attention to detail are second to none. We would absolutely refer anyone who is buying or selling in the SWFL region to Marlin Realty and will definitely use their services in any future real estate needs.
Kristy and Riann PotgeiterLou has helped us buy and sell two homes. Everything was done in a prompt & professional manner. All my questions were answered and I was kept informed as the process progressed ! He is the best, we have been extremely happy with all he has done for us. He is the only Realtor we will ever work with.
Jerry and Renaye LathamI highly recommend Lou Simonetti. My house sold in two weeks and Louie made sure everything went smoothly thru closing. If you are thinking about buying a house or selling please consider Lou you won’t be disappointed.
Caryn Agostino
Lou Simonetti recently sold my brother-in-laws house. Lou was just great he brought all the papers for us to read and explained everything. We didn’t have to do anything, Lou took care of everything. Not only did he get my brother-in-law full price it was closed in just a few weeks. He is a great agent and we are so glad we chose Lou.
MaryAnn on behalf of Jose Z.Very knowledgeable realtor. He did an amazing job selling our house. He’s and straight forward about everything. He’s helping us with purchasing our new home and it’s just been a wonderful experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent.
Philip TurnerExperience and work ethic makes a difference! The photography and online presence were very well done and we received a good offer very quickly. I had complete trust and confidence in how everything was handled especially given we were living abroad. I have no hesitation recommending Lou or having him as my realtor in the future.
Marc and Jennifer BeattieGloria and I wanted to send you a note to once again say Thank You for all you did to get our house sold. Your marketing techniques and that fantastic video resulted in tons of showings and a qualified buyer in a short amount of time. For that we are very grateful.
Now that you are guiding us with the purchase of our new home, your years of experience in the local market has proven to be a very valuable asset. We could not have done it without you!
Lou, we are proud to say that you are our realtor and we will highly recommend you and your services to anyone looking for a professional and honest person to handle there real estate needs.
Thanks again for all you did to make our experience a positive one.
Lou works hard for his clients and sold our house within a week at the price we wanted. He kept in touch with us the whole time and handled arrangements for all the related processes (inspections, etc.).
Nicky TurnerIf you want the best results in finding a nice home in Cape Coral area, then you have to use the best. I can honestly say Lou took me under his wings and guided me thru the whole process of finding and purchasing my home. I will recommend Lou and Judy Simonetti without hesitation. Lou sat with me and explained paperwork, work with me around my work schedule, thru rain or shine he was there right to the end. Thanks for everything.
Nancy WilliamsWhen we found a house he was right on it and we looked at it that day! He fought hard for us and always did 100%. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He made the process of buying my first home a little less stressful.
Jessica AgostinoLou is a realtor that I would not hesitate to refer if you are looking for a realtor. He was recommended to me by some friends of mine who used him when they bought their house. He is a man who knows the ins and outs of home construction. I would look at a condo and think it was o.k. Lou would look at the electric box to see if it was up to code, he checked under the sinks for leaks, he looked at the roof to see if it needed to be replaced, he pointed out if there were enough ceiling fans or lack of them, he checked out the appliances. Nothing escaped him, good or bad. I felt very confident that he would not steer me wrong and have me purchase a condo that had issues. He also has a beautiful disposition and a sense of humor. I was not an easy client to work with but Lou never lost patience with me, for which I am truly thankful. I am now enjoying the fruits of his labor. I bought the right condo for the right price. Thank you, Lou
Beverly CadunziMy husband and I had rental properties in Cape Coral that we needed to sell as quickly as possible. Lou Simonetti was recommended to us through a mutual friend and it turned out to be a good choice. Lou knew we needed someone to take over the responsibility of handling the details and keeping it as stress free as possible for both of us; he did just that. We would recommend Lou Simonetti to anyone wanting to sell or buy a property. Lou is a “no nonsense” professional and will do a good job for you.
Bill and Sue LottridgeIf you need a realtor with experience, please call Lou & Judy Simonetti. It seems everyone knows someone who sells real estate, but to find someone knowledgeable of all of Lee county, its neighborhoods and regulations is unbeatable. Knowing how fast homes were being sold, Lou worked with our crazy schedules to make sure we saw each one that interested us. He never let us feel like we were bothering him or overwhelming him with our wish list. And he was able to give us detailed info on each neighborhood and builder. He patiently walked us through making an offer and every step of our final sale. His guidance and follow through was very professional, yet such a friendly guy! Judy too! My husband and I now own a beautiful home ( on half an acre, which we had given up ever finding) at a fantastic price and are grateful to them.
Jane and Pete MiragliottaIn the spring of 2015, we began a search for property in Cape Coral, Florida. Through an acquaintance, we had the good fortune to meet Lou Simonetti, a local realtor. Lou proved to be an extremely valuable asset because of his extensive knowledge of the history and the properties in the Fort Meyers and Cape Coral areas. Lou was quick to ascertain our needs and to respond by providing properties that met those needs. He willingly offered to spend whatever time we needed to visit properties in which we had an interest and to provide all relevant information. Because Lou has many years in real estate, he was extremely helpful through the entire process of negotiating a successful purchase. Throughout the process, Lou was very congenial and his disposition gave us confidence that we were working with a reputable individual in the real estate business. We have no problem in confidently recommending Lou Simonetti to our friends and those reading this review. Sara and Bernie
Dolores ShugertWe worked with Lou for 3 years searching for a vacation home in Cape Coral. We travelled there twice to look at multiple homes. Lou always made himself available to spend entire days with us looking at possibilities and discussing the virtues and downfalls of each property. Lou was very knowledgeable about the issues that are common to that area and pointed them out to us. He was also knowledgeable about the neighborhoods and the things that increase value and bring value down. Over the course of the 3 years we worked together we asked him to go view multiple homes on our behalf and he always fit that into his busy schedule. He saved us from making multiple unnecessary trips. He took lots of photos and pointed out issues in the photos. He knew what we did and didn’t want in our home and steered us away from bad choices. He was always willing to put in offers and do the necessary paperwork, work with the sellers to get us the deal we wanted, and never complained when we walked away when we weren’t satisfied. When we finally found the right home at the right price, he worked diligently and quickly to get everything accomplished on our behalf. We only needed to make one short trip to view the house and be there for inspection. Everything was handled by email and he was very patient with our lack of technology skills. He provided us with multiple contacts for every need every step of the way and made the whole process stress less. We hope to buy more homes there in the future and we wouldn’t work with anyone else.
Deborah StufferI would highly recommend Lou Simonetti.
I was treated royally by both Lou & Judy Simonetti!
Everything was done in a prompt & professional manner. All my questions were answered and I was kept informed as the process progressed !
I cannot say enough good things about them, I am one very satisfied client. GOOD JOB GUYS
Jeanne EspositoLou helped us find our new home in Southwest Florida.
Lou was patient and responsive while showing us homes. He was extremely informative about what to look for regarding the upkeep of homes we looked at. Lou was consistently organized and handled our house search professionally. Super job!
Kevin & Beth DunmireLou Simonetti was very knowledgeable about Real Estate and was very helpful on selling my house. Everything he said he would do, he did. He followed up and kept us informed right to the day of closing. I would recommend Lou to anyone selling or buying a home.
Robert and Alma RabeLou Simonetti is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with. They were able to get our house under contract, with one of their own buyers, within 14 days. They are knowledgeable about the market, have great resources to utilize, and were proactive throughout the whole process. This was the most efficient real estate transaction we have even been through, with great communication from start to finish. We would recommend this company to anyone and will definitely utilize their services in the future.
Kristy and Riaan PotgieterThis was my first home and I thought it would be an overwhelming process. Lou listened to everything I was looking for and set up appointments on the weekend to work with my schedule. He explained things I should be looking for and what to avoid as we would walk through potential houses. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent. He really made the whole process exciting and easy.
Megan LynchLou was very straightforward with regards to expectations on selling our home which we really appreciated. There are realtors out there that will promise to sell your home at a larger cost to get the listing and it sits on the market for months. He made a promise to have our home sold within 45 days and we were confident in the price he listed it at. We were moving to another state and it was important to have it sold fast, but priced right. Lou lived up to his promise and had an offer on our home within 36 days. What we valued the most about Lou was his constant communication throughout the closing process. There were some issues with the previous title and Lou worked closely with the title company and provided us updates throughout. Lou truly went above and beyond his call of a realtor and we would use him again if we decide to purchase another home in the SW Florida area. He truly is the “Name that Gets Results.”
Eric and Kristen MingioneI would highly recommend Lou Simonetti for your realtor. Lou helped us find our dream home with patience and insight as to the best location, value of the property, and even after the sale he was there to recommend names for different services we needed. Lou is an honest, down to earth gentleman. You can’t go wrong with Lou!
Diane MooreI had such a great experience with Lou Simonetti while my husband and I were shopping for our first home here in sunny Florida. He took what we were looking for seriously and was able to find us our perfect home. I would and have already recommended Lou to all our friends and family.
Stephanie RotondoListed and closed in 2 weeks investment property.
Have dealt with Marlin Int Realty in the past. Kept me well informed in all aspects of transaction. I am very happy with them.
Leonard LibersherMy wife and I hired Lou Simonetti in May of 2014 to sell our home in Cape Coral. We had interviewed three other realtors and Lou seemed to be the better of the group. After listing the property, he kept in contact almost daily, as we were looking for a fast sale. He did a video of the property and posted it on the internet on a Sunday evening, and we had a cash offer by Wednesday for more than we thought we were going to realize. Lou kept on top of the situation and we are well pleased with his expertise and dedication. We purchased our 9th home following the sale in Cape Coral, and Lou was our best Realtor of all. If we ever decide to return to Florida, we will contact Lou Simonetti. Best realtor we’ve had in 16 transactions in five different states.
Kalman and Patricia DolgosOur agent Lou Simonetti played a very important part in selling our real estate. He was extremely helpful in establishing our asking price based on his broad research and knowledge of current trends. He protected our selling price thru great positioning and negotiations for a cash sale within a month from listing the property.
He was always available even on short notice. He was friendly and understanding to my tenant and her needs. He treated all involved with this transaction with the utmost respect and professionalism.
Over the last thirty years my wife and I have been thru many real estate transactions from New York to Hawaii to Florida and dealt with numerous agents. Lou is one of the BEST! He will definitely represent us in future transaction.
Sold my house in less than 30 days.
A great salesman and all around a very nice and respectable man. Handled all the paperwork with the relocation company for us. Help me make the right decisions and discussed all my options with me. Kept me from pulling my hair out. Did all that was asked and more. Wish I had him up here to work with in buying new house.
Ann AngeliniI have been looking out for a house for two years and Marlin International Realty never gave up till I found the property that I liked. He is a very honest person. He also recommended a company who did the remodeling and painting of our house and I am happy with the services provided.
