Our approach

Four things that move your bottom line

Most agents list it and wait. We plan the price, the presentation and the push before your home ever hits the market, so buyers show up at once and compete for it.

01

Pricing that creates competition

We price from real comps to draw a crowd on day one. More buyers at once means more offers, and more offers push the price up.

02

Marketing buyers can't scroll past

Professional photos, drone and a video tour, plus Zillow Showcase, Homes.com and a full social media launch.

03

Old-school hustle

Open houses, door knocking and neighbor outreach, because the buyer is often someone who already knows the street.

04

Prep without the headache

Our cleaning team, trusted contractors and virtual staging get your home ready, even if you've already moved away.

Real sales, real numbers

Home sold in Beauregard Town, downtown Baton Rouge
$12K over asking

Sold $12K over asking with 10+ offers

A Beauregard Town home, magazine-quality photos and a pricing strategy built to create FOMO, even with interest rates high.

Read the full story

This property is in Beauregard Town in downtown Baton Rouge, a funky and eclectic mix of old homes and a downtown vibe. We used photos that could have run in a magazine and, most importantly, a pricing technique designed to create FOMO (fear of missing out) among buyers. The result was 10+ offers, and the one we chose was $12,000 over asking. The frenzy was remarkable given the high interest rates at the time.

Newer-build home that went under contract on day one
Day 1 contract

Sold day 1, netting the sellers over $50K

A job relocation, a tight timeline and worries about rates. Multiple offers came in on the very first day it was listed.

Read the full story

This newer build was a home the sellers loved, but a job opportunity meant they had to move. They were worried about what they would net, needed to sell quickly so they wouldn't carry an extra payment after moving, and were concerned about finding a buyer with rates as high as they were. With our pricing strategy, social media, door knocking and circle prospecting, we had it under contract with multiple offers on the very first day it was listed. The sellers were relieved to avoid the extra expenses and walked away with more than $50,000.

Home that sold after failing to sell with a previous agent
Sold in <30 days

Failed to sell after 180 days. Here's how we fixed it.

The previous agent had it overpriced by $100K. We realigned the price, deep cleaned it and marketed it right.

Read the full story

We met a seller whose home had failed to sell with a previous agent, who had overpriced it by about $100,000. It shows the power of an agent who actually understands the market and goes the extra mile. After realigning the price with the market, a deep clean by our cleaning team and marketing the property the way it should have been marketed from the start, we got the seller on to the next chapter in less than 30 days.

In our sellers' words

Sold fast. Sold for more.

Straight answers

Questions sellers ask us

The things every Baton Rouge seller wants to know before they list, answered plainly.

How do you decide what to list my home for?

We pull homes that sold near you in the last few months, then adjust for size, condition, updates, lot and flood zone. You see every comp we used. The goal is a price that brings several buyers in the first week, because competing offers are what push the final number up.

What does it cost to sell a home in Baton Rouge?

Commission is negotiable and set in your listing agreement. On top of that, sellers usually pay their share of title and closing fees, prorated property taxes, any mortgage payoff, and any repairs or closing-cost credits agreed with the buyer. Our seller net sheet estimates what you walk away with before you list.

What's included in your marketing?

Professional photos and drone aerials, a video tour cut into Reels for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube, Zillow Showcase and Homes.com exposure, open houses, paid ads and a written plan you get before you sign.

How long will it take to sell?

It depends on your price range, your area and the condition of the home. At our first meeting we show you the current days on market for homes like yours, so you can plan your move around real numbers instead of a guess.

What if my home doesn't sell in the first 30 days?

We review showings, feedback and online views with you every week. If interest is low, we change what's holding it back: the price, the presentation or the marketing. We've relaunched homes that sat for 180 days with another agent and sold them.

Do I have to disclose flooding when I sell?

Yes. Louisiana sellers complete the Louisiana Real Estate Commission property disclosure, which asks for the flood zone and whether the home has taken water. Being upfront protects your sale. Our flood zone guide explains what buyers will ask.

Can I sell my house and buy another one at the same time?

Yes, and it's one of the most common situations we handle. We plan the timing of both sides together, so you know whether to buy first, sell first or close on the same day.
