The company was established in 1990 by Valerie Lewis, who was a real estate broker at the time. She and her husband Lanny began investing in properties around the Capital Region, and in the years since, Lewis Companies has evolved into a full-service company that offers property management, including leasing, sales, maintenance, HOA administration, and development. The company’s expertise allows it to streamline operations and provide solutions that enhance the quality of life for their clients.

Their team ensures that properties are kept to the highest standards, and the company provides 24-hour service to address emergencies that might occur outside of regular business hours. From maintenance to finance to safety issues, “we handle it all,” Valerie says.

Lewis Companies is a true family affair, she adds, with Lanny and their son Luke indulging their passions for fast cars and aviation respectively. In 2006, Lanny bought State Capitol Raceway in Port Allen, a state-of-the-art destination for drag racing enthusiasts. And the family developed Williams Jet Center, an aviation business that handles aviation fuel sales and caters to the local pilot community, of which Luke is a member.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Aside from their professional affiliations, Lewis Companies has strong ties to the community and supports many local charities such as the American Cancer Society and its annual Go Red for Women campaign. “What sets us apart is that we are locally owned and operated, and because of that, we want to better the lives of the people in our community,” Valerie says. “When disaster hits (for example, Hurricane Katrina), we were there to do whatever we could to help.”

She credits an amazing staff for the company’s 35-year success and solid reputation. “Our employees go above and beyond in everything they do. They are so dedicated and we feel blessed to have them, especially those who have been with us from the beginning.”

Lewis Companies is a member of the Better Business Bureau with an A+ rating.”
