“If you are selling or buying a home, choose the Louise Hampton Team as they are the most knowledgeable. Louise is the expert. She has an entire team that handles every aspect of the transaction. We enlisted with Louise and her team to sell our property because she knows the area more than any other agent. I won’t say how many years, but let’s just say I’m the third owner of my property and Louise has been the seller’s agent each time. She is the go-to source for desert properties as agents from outside areas call her when they want information on houses coming to market in that neighborhood. Louise and her team are very well connected in the Coachella valley and beyond. Her contacts are something to be valued and she is well-respected in the community. Louise and her team are extremely personable and professional.”

“I’ve bought and sold over a dozen homes in SoCal and have worked with many brokers in Palm Springs and Los Angeles. I’ve never worked with a more experienced, professional, ethical and hardworking team than Louise and her outstanding colleagues. Her knowledge and reputation far exceed any RE professional I’ve worked with previously. Louise went above and beyond by hiring workers to prepare our home for the open house, coordinated various workers and marketed our home. We had offers before our open house! Our home sold for above asking price with a seamless escrow that closed on time. I look forward to working with Louise and her team again. Thank you for everything!”
- Brian S.

HomeServices of America has ended Realogy brokerage subsidiary NRT‘s two-decade reign atop the Real Trends 500 rankings of top residential real estate brokerages in the United States, beating NRT by nearly 10,000 transactions to become the number one real estate firm by sides in 2019.
HomeServices closed 346,629 transaction “sides” for a total sales volume of $135.9 billion by representing the buyer or seller in deals in 2018, according to the report. (The same sale could be counted twice if the brokerage represented both the buyer and seller.) It’s an increase of 6 percent and enough to upset the 20-year winning streak of NRT, which operates through brands such as Sotheby’s and Coldwell Banker.
