I got ripped to shreds today on a Google review. I have to admit, it stung. No one likes to have shortcomings or failures pointed out. The review's pertinent point of timeliness is not inaccurate. There is nothing wrong with that, and I do take full ownership, but personal attacks are just not necessary. This is a friendly reminder that it is easy to be both truthful in your reviews and also kind. Anyone who knows me knows that I bend over backward for my clients and customers, my peers and my colleagues. I take pride in going the extra mile and doing the extra research. I take on the hard assignments because, well, someone has to do it, and I am willing. Things happen unexpectedly. We do our best to overcome and sometimes still come up short. Here's to 2026 and hopefully a year of exceptional service and enough good reviews to offset the one today! :) My plan is to keep educating and informing the public so everyone can "Know Your Value" and will only be better from here.

A little FYI, we will be in and out of power for the next few days while Kirkman Street gets a power upgrade by the office! If you try to call, leave a message, but I am pretty sure the text messages will go through. 337-602-6222.

If you bought a home after 2009, your appraisal fee almost certainly included hundreds of dollars for a middleman you've likely never heard of.

If you are trying to reach the office today, please reach out via text message or leave a message. We are being assaulted by robo-calls this morning, as in 53 so far per my phone service, and will be silencing the ringer for the remainder of the day. Of course, my cell phone is always available.

Know Your Value!

It appears as if we will be closed for the remainder of the day. Our latest Entergy update said we are not expected to get power until after 3. We will be open regular business hours tomorrow.

We are all guilty from time to time.

We all know there are funny real estate memes. I love this one. 😆 https://www.facebook.com/share/r/kSo8TYn9Sa9GfueN/?mibextid=BIEBOE
