🚀 SEPTEMBER FLEW BY, BUT THE MOMENTUM IS REAL! 🚀

How is it almost the middle of October already?! September 2026 came and went in the blink of an eye, but what a month it was for South Louisiana! 🌟

With the buzz surrounding SpaceX coming to our corner of the state, the energy across Acadiana and beyond has been exciting! There’s a renewed sense of opportunity, growth, and what’s ahead for our communities. And while all the excitement is building around us, our team at The Gleason Group was busy doing what we do best — getting the work done! 🏡🏢

👏 A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to our September Top Producers! You stayed focused, worked hard, served your clients, and finished the month strong.

September is in the books, but 2026 isn't finished with us yet! 💪 We’re heading into the final months with gratitude for how far we’ve come, excitement for what’s ahead, and plenty of goals left to accomplish.

We are going to finish this year STRONG! 🚀

🌾 HERE’S A SIDE OF REAL ESTATE YOU DON’T HEAR ABOUT ENOUGH… LAND.

Everyone talks about houses. Commercial buildings. Interest rates.

But what about the land that shapes the future of South Louisiana? 👀

In September 2026 alone, The Gleason Group sold a little over 430 ACRES of land worth $6.8 million. And the land we did list in the month of September for sale is already UNDER CONTRACT! 🚜🌳

Let that sink in. That’s significant acreage moving through the market, even in a world where buyers are carefully evaluating every dollar and sellers need to understand what their property is truly worth.

📍 What does this tell us? Land remains an important part of the real estate conversation. Whether it’s agricultural acreage, investment property, development opportunities, or land held in a family for generations, the right strategy matters.

And here’s the thing: LAND IS WHAT WE DO. 🌱

We’re actively listing more land throughout Acadiana and South Louisiana, helping landowners position their property for sale and helping buyers identify opportunities that fit their goals.

Thinking about selling acreage? Looking to buy land? Not sure what your property might be worth in today’s market?

Let’s talk before you make your next move. The right information can make all the difference.

📲 The Gleason Group — Your land. Your goals. Our expertise.

What if your front porch could be your front-row seat to New Iberia’s history, culture and celebrations? 🎉🏡

And you're surrounded by some of the places that make New Iberia special, including Shadows-on-the-Teche, Bayou Teche Museum, Sliman Theatre for the Performing Arts and Bouligny Plaza.

What if your next office didn’t look like an office? 👀

📍 104 S Jefferson Street | Broussard, LA

This isn’t your typical commercial property.

If you owned this property, what would you use that basement/w**e cellar for? 👇

When evaluating a commercial property for sale, most owners think about the building first — its size, condition, location. But for tenant-occupied properties, one of the most valuable, or most damaging, assets are something you can't see from the parking lot: the lease.

As commercial advisors in South Louisiana, we've seen lease structure either accelerate a sale or quietly undermine one. Here's why it matters so much:

Lease term and stability — a long-term lease with a creditworthy tenant adds value; a lease expiring in 6 months creates uncertainty that buyers price in

Rent rate vs. market rate — if your tenant is paying below market rent, buyers will model the gap, and it affects what they're willing to pay today

Renewal options and escalation clauses — how rent adjusts over time and who holds the option to renew
affects the risk profile for any buyer

Personal guarantees vs. entity leases — who's actually on the hook if the tenant doesn't pay? This matters more than most sellers realize

Triple net vs. gross lease — the structure determines who pays taxes, insurance, and maintenance, which
directly affects a buyer's projected returns

Understanding your lease before you list isn't just smart, it's how you avoid surprises during due diligence
that cost you negotiating ground.

🏡 Real Estate Broker by Profession. Grandparent by Calling. ❤️

We are proud of our sales agents who work hard to help our clients find their perfect property. But for the two grandparents at The Gleason Group, their most important role is the one they play after closing time — being a grandparent!

They take that job even more seriously than being a real estate agent, and we wouldn't have it any other way. They are the grandparents who make memories at the beach, explore the swamp, enjoy boat rides, and take mountain adventures with their grandkids. They show up for every school play, Grandparents' Day, athletic event, and all the little moments in between.

Because being a grandparent isn't just about the big holidays or special occasions. It's about being present on the normal days, too. The carpool rides, the after-school visits, the everyday conversations, and the memories that happen when nobody is taking pictures.

Our office is filled with hardworking real estate professionals, but we are also blessed with grandparents who know that the best investment they'll ever make is in their grandchildren. And the best part? They have just as much fun as the grandkids do! 🥰

To Melissa C. White and Robert Minyard: Thank you for showing us that the greatest measure of success isn't just the real estate you help people find, but the love and memories you build with your families.

Happy Grandparents' Day to all the amazing grandparents who make every day a little more special! 💕🏡

🏆 AUGUST TOP PRODUCERS! 🏆

Help us give a HUGE congratulations to our Top Sales Agents for the month of August! 🎉👏

Not only did they lead the brokerage in commercial or residential sales and leasing, but they did it during a month when calendars were CRAZY! 📅

Between kids heading back to school 🎒, last-minute summer vacations ☀️✈️, packed schedules, and everyone trying to squeeze in those final days of summer, our clients were still buying, selling, leasing—and making big moves!

And while August may have been hectic, our Top Producers were right there making deals happen. They didn’t slow down—they showed up, worked hard, and delivered! 💪

Congratulations on an incredible month to both teams!

This Labor Day, we’re celebrating the people who make it happen.

Behind every closing, every new lease, every set of keys, and every “Welcome Home” is a team of hardworking people who make it all possible.

Today, we’re taking a moment to recognize and thank every real estate agent and every member of our office staff for the dedication, long hours, problem-solving, phone calls, emails, showings, negotiations, paperwork, and countless behind-the-scenes details you handle every day.

Because what you do is about so much more than real estate.

🏡 You help families find homes where memories are made.
🔑 You help people take the next step toward their dreams.
🏢 You help businesses find the spaces where they can grow.
👥 You help bring new businesses, new opportunities, and new jobs into our communities.
🌱 And every transaction helps shape the places we call home.

Your hard work has an impact far beyond the closing table, and we are incredibly grateful for everything you do.

Happy Labor Day to our amazing team—and to every hardworking person who helps make our communities stronger every day.
