Meet Louise
In real estate, knowledge matters — and caring matters even more.
Combining a lifetime of real estate expertise with a genuine dedication to her clients' goals, expert REALTOR® Louise Bell delivers resounding success for buyers and sellers throughout Central Texas and Northern California. When asked what sets her and her team apart from the competition, Louise says, in her trademark straightforward style, "We actually give a damn."
Leading the Limestone Realty Group at Compass, Louise leaves no stone unturned in reaching each client's unique objectives. Meticulous and determined with tenacious negotiation skills, she's also a down-to-earth advocate who relates to people on a deeply human level. Louise listens closely, responds promptly and works harder than anyone you'll meet. Her vast experience runs the gamut from new construction sales, resales and land deals to first-time investment transactions and 1031 exchanges. It turns out that giving a damn while offering elite industry know-how and warm relatability is a winning combination: Louise has closed nearly $70 million in total transaction volume, earned numerous top-producer awards and ranked among the top 3% of Central Texas REALTORS® in 2021 and 2022.
Born in Austin to a custom homebuilder/developer father and a real estate attorney mother, some of Louise's earliest memories include discussing zoning requirements and covenant restrictions around the dinner table. Because of this solid proving ground, she entered the industry with an outsized level of expertise. She's also been devoted to raising the bar and improving her craft ever since with numerous elective courses and training. Before real estate, Louise was in corporate sales, where she honed the dealmaking skills and empathy that continue to serve her real estate clients today. "The size of the transaction doesn't matter to me," she explains. "I just genuinely care about getting people where they need to go and into a place that makes sense to them. Most importantly, I want them to leave the transaction feeling empowered."

License # TREC: 691748
DRE: 02088015
Licensed first in Texas and later in California, today, getting people where they need to go largely means helping individuals and families move within or between the two states. Louise is married to an active duty U.S. Air Force pilot stationed at Beale AFB, north of Sacramento, and splits her time between Northern California and Austin. As a military spouse and mom to young children, she knows what it's like to juggle family, deployments and work obligations. When you work with Louise, you gain the support of someone who excels at handling the myriad details and stresses of buying, selling and relocating with military precision, whether you're in the armed services or not.
A fourth generation (on both sides of her family) Texan, Louise is deeply familiar with everything Greater Austin city life has to offer, but she's equally comfortable in the country. She's also come to love and appreciate all things California. In fact, she finds there are more commonalities than differences between the states and their people, "Whether Texans and Californians would like to admit it or not," she says with a laugh.
When she's not helping clients in the Lone Star and Golden states, Louise can be found spending time with her husband, their Irish twin daughter and son, and their boxer and black lab. She also loves exploring the world and tackling CrossFit workouts.
Happy Clients.
"It was a pleasure to work with Louise. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable about what she was doing, she also took the time to share and teach me throughout the process. Very quick to respond and never settled for anything less than the best for her clients. Having skills and knowledge in two different states, Louise helped making the house hunting process very smooth in such a short turnaround helping me and my family. I would highly recommend her and would most certainly work with her again. Thank you so much Louise, you are the best of the best!"
Home Buyer
"Louise surpassed our expectations by a long shot and blew us out of the water! She never makes you feel like you’re asking a dumb question (even if you are), and shoots it to your straight 110% of the time. Would highly recommend and plan to do so to everyone I talk to."
Home Buyer
"Louise guided us through the process of selling our home through an ever changing market while we were living several hours away. She was constantly involved in looking for new ways to market our home beyond just lowering the listing price and offering seller credits. We completed a remodel as well and Louise certainly has a keen eye for design and helped us pick elements that made our home shine. She really went above and beyond what I expect from a realtor and we can’t thank her enough!"
Home Seller
"Louise is a SUPERHUMAN. She held my hand through my very first home purchase and literally spent countless hours on the phone, texting, zoom, etc. with me to make sure I felt comfortable with every step of the process. She also negotiated my contract like a freaking QUEEN. If you are selling your home, buying a home, or doing literally ANYTHING in the real estate world, you would be lucky to work with Louise. I will forever be her hype woman and use her for any and all future real estate needs."
Home Buyer
"Trying not to get all mushy as Louise has been a long time friend and I can gush for hours over her. I ended up having to sell my mom’s house. It was a hot mess and I knew only one person would be able to help! I called her up and immediately she was on it! She got me into contact with “her people” and everything just fell into place. Louise is seriously THE HARDEST working woman I know! She will make sure that you are taken care of all the way through the process! I would not have made it without you and your team!"
