Lou Vivas | Real Estate Expert & Team Leader, Viva The Life Properties
Washington, D.C. | Maryland | Virginia

With over 20 years of experience in real estate, Lou Vivas leads Viva The Life Properties with a mission to create meaningful homes and healthier communities. A native of Montgomery County and graduate of the University of Maryland, Lou has built a trusted reputation across the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia markets for his deep market knowledge, refined negotiation skills, and commitment to client success.

Louā€™s approach blends luxury real estate expertise with a focus on family, well-being, and sustainability. As the founder of Viva The Healthy Life, he helps homeowners design spaces that enrich daily livingā€”integrating solar energy, battery backups, EV charging, and passive design to lower costs, reduce carbon footprints, and increase long-term value.

Dedicated to community and family life, Lou helps run a parent group in Northwest D.C. and is an active commuter cyclistā€”often seen riding his e-bike through local neighborhoods he both serves and calls home.
