I’ve been comparing the homes currently available in The Ivy Subdivision for my client and it has been interesting. 🏡

The highest-priced home is beautiful and offers a pond view, but it’s also listed for over $100,000 more than the least expensive completed home currently available in the neighborhood.

The surprising part? We’re not talking about a 1,000-square-foot difference. We’re talking about roughly 200-300 square feet.

Meanwhile, the $415,000 home offers a fully screened-in patio, a feature none of the other active homes currently have.

✨ It just goes to show that finding the right home isn’t always about choosing the most expensive option. It’s about finding the best fit for your lifestyle and budget. ✨

The best homes aren’t always the biggest or the newest.

They’re the ones that make you stop scrolling and picture yourself living there.

Built in 1965, this 1,677 sqft Baton Rouge home is proof that thoughtful renovations can completely transform a space.

The waterfall-style island, warm cabinetry, and black hardware make this kitchen feel custom without being overdone.

Simple choices. Big impact. 🏠

If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or renovating, it’s amazing how much potential a home can have.

I swear real estate has permanently changed the way I look at houses now.

I notice EVERYTHING.

Lighting, materials, layout, staging… even the way a home feels emotionally.

Two homes can have similar prices and square footage, but create completely different reactions the second you walk in.

The way people connect to a home is honestly one of the most interesting parts of real estate to me.

Before every open house, there’s always a little behind-the-scenes prep that people don’t really see.

Wiping things down, adjusting details, making sure it smells good, and making the home feel welcoming before anyone walks in 🏡

Still early in my real estate career, but I genuinely enjoy this part of it.

Getting into real estate has made me realize that people don’t just fall in love with features… they fall in love with a feeling.

Some homes feel welcoming the second you arrive, and this one definitely had that energy. The palms, the warm tones, the quiet behind the gates… it honestly felt like a little escape from reality for a minute 🌴☀️

Maybe it’s because it’s Cinco de Mayo, but this place gave me major villa getaway vibes 😌🌮🌴

Located in Lafayette, LA. If you want more info on this home or are thinking about starting your own home search, feel free to reach out 🏡

Still early in my real estate career, but one thing I can promise is effort. If I don’t know something, I’ll find the answer. If I say I’m going to do something, I’ll do it. That part matters to me.

Life is short, give it your all.

Buyers don’t just shop for homes…
they react to how a home feels.

The same space can look completely different depending on how it’s presented.

Lighting.
Staging.
Angles.
Editing.

Most buyers decide in seconds whether a home is worth seeing just from the photos.

Presentation isn’t extra.
It’s everything.

Getting things more organized and intentional.

Picked up a couple holders so I can start placing my business cards in a few spots and have one ready for open houses.

Taking the time to get everything where I want it.
