“Rene made my family feel comfortable and at ease while dealing with the biggest purchase of our life!”
Rene was great! He responded quickly to every question I had and was willing to go the extra mile to get me answers from our builders when I wasn’t sure what to do or where to go! He was super knowledgeable about the home buying process and was great a guiding me and my husband as first time buyers. Sometimes realtors can be awkward and make you feel like it’s totally just a transactional relationship, but Rene made my family feel comfortable and at ease while dealing with the biggest purchase of our life! I have already recommended so many people to him, and I can’t wait to work with him again sometime in the future when we purchase our next home.

We found that and so much more with Rene Lara! He helped us throughout the entire process, answering questions, making sure we knew the ins-and-outs, and giving us an overall sense of having someone on our team. Rene was a BIG reason we were able to close on our dream home. We would recommend his services to anyone ready to find their dream home, as well!
