Before you hire anyone
How to choose a realtor in Baton Rouge
Use this checklist to find a good real estate agent in Baton Rouge. It works with any realtor you interview, including us.
- Check the license.Every realtor and real estate agent in Louisiana is licensed by the Louisiana Real Estate Commission, which is based in Baton Rouge. Look up any name on LREC’s license search before you sign anything.
- Ask who they represent.Louisiana law requires a licensee to give you LREC’s agency disclosure pamphlet, which explains whether the agent works for you, the other side, or both. Find it on LREC’s forms page.
- Ask what it costs, in writing.Commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable. Since August 17, 2024, buyers sign a written agreement with their agent before touring homes, and it states what the agent is paid (NAR).
- Ask for your number before you list.A good listing agent shows recent Baton Rouge sales near you and a net sheet: what you keep after payoff, costs and commission. Try ours on the net sheet calculator.
- Ask who answers the phone.Showing requests and buyer questions come in nights and weekends. Ask who picks up, how fast, and how often you’ll get updates.
- Read the reviews, not just the stars.Look for reviews that describe a sale or purchase like yours. Ours are on our reviews page, unedited.

Is a realtor the same as a real estate agent?
Every realtor is a licensed real estate agent, but not every agent is a REALTOR®. The title means the agent is a member of the National Association of REALTORS® and follows its Code of Ethics. Nicole and Lynel are both REALTORS®.
