Lou Gonzalez brings 35 years of sales and leadership experience to Coldwell Banker Realty. Since his original affiliation in Tampa, where he was a top producing sales associate, he was selected to become a part of the franchise sales team and quickly became a recognized leader within the company, before moving within the industry to leadership roles in both brokerage and franchising. He has received multiple company awards and has been named by RisMedia as a Newsmaker in 2019, 2020 and 2021 including being named in the Luminary – The Iconic Leader category, listed among the top 20 leaders in the industry.

Lou is highly respected in the industry and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his clients. His real estate career began in Tampa with Coldwell Banker and his path allowed him to be a key builder of several of the leading brokerages and global franchisors in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe and the Middle East. He believes his decades of experience along with the company's global reach and branding are essential to his objective of assisting his clientele in their pursuit of home ownership.

After leading the growth of these firms, he and his lovely wife Nancy decided it was time to come back home to the root of his family ties and build a new business in The Greater Tampa Bay Area.
