About Lynel
Honest, accessible and thorough
Lynel grew up in Baton Rouge and has called Gonzales home for more than 20 years. Before real estate he managed retail stores and restaurants, which is where he learned the customer service and negotiating that he now brings to every sale. He got into real estate because he loves helping people reach big life goals, and helping first-time buyers is the part he enjoys most.
His approach starts with trust. Every client is different, so he begins by listening to what you need, then lays out how to get there. As he puts it, his goal is for you to win, and he doesn’t get paid unless you get your keys. He is one of the longest-serving agents on Nicole’s team.
