Step one
What your price opinion looks like
Not a robot estimate. A licensed agent on our team pulls the homes that actually sold near you, adjusts for the differences, and sends you a range with the sales behind it, usually within a day.
- The recent nearby sales we used, and why
- A suggested list-price range, not one magic number
- What you'd likely walk away with after costs
- What to fix first, and what to leave alone

Seriously the best realtor in Baton Rouge, LA! They made buying our home fun and easy, always answered our question and were super professional. Thank you so much Nicole and team!
They listened to what I wanted, answered every questions and were always so quick to communicate. It really felt like they were just as invested in finding the perfect place for me as I was!
My husband and I are first time homebuyers and they made the process so easy for us. If you are like us and have no clue where to start I highly recommend going with this group.

Straight answers
Questions sellers ask us
Short answers with the law or data behind them. Not legal or tax advice; ask us about your situation.
When do I have to give the buyer the property disclosure?
Before the buyer makes an offer. If it arrives after the offer, the buyer gets 72 hours, not counting weekends and holidays, to cancel. The disclosure is not a warranty.
La. R.S. 9:3196–3200 · 2026 LREC Property Disclosure Document
How much does the homestead exemption save?
It removes the first $7,500 of assessed value from parish property taxes. Homes are assessed at 10% of market value, so that covers roughly the first $75,000 of value. In East Baton Rouge that's about $750–$800 a year. In Ascension you have to apply; it isn't automatic.
La. Const. Art. VII §18, §20 · EBR and Ascension assessors
Is commission negotiable?
Yes, fully. Since August 17, 2024, any pay to the buyer's broker is its own line in the purchase agreement, and it defaults to $0 if left blank.
NAR settlement · 2026 LREC Residential Agreement to Buy or Sell
What's the best month to list?
Nationally, March brings the biggest seller premium (10.7%), followed by April and May. Locally, timing depends on how many homes are for sale in your area right now, so we check this month's numbers with you before picking a date.
