A little more opportunity in Olde Towne! 👀

This vacant lot on Fremaux Ave offers a blank slate with MU-1 Mixed Use zoning and plenty of possibilities for what comes next.

And here's an interesting twist—the same sellers also own the home directly beside it on the corner of 9th St, which is currently listed for sale separately. One property or both...there are definitely some options to explore! 😉

Feel free to reach out if you'd like more information about the property, zoning, or either listing.

In Louisiana, you'll often hear this called the Due Diligence and Inspection Period (DDI) in the purchase agreement.

This is the time after a home goes under contract when buyers have the opportunity to learn more about the property. Depending on the home, that may include a general home inspection, roof, termite, sewer, foundation, pool, well, or other inspections that make sense for that particular property.

Not every home needs every inspection, but this is the time to ask questions, gather information, and make informed decisions before moving forward with the purchase.

Questions are cheaper than surprises. 😉

Many homeowners are eligible for Louisiana's Homestead Exemption, but one thing people don't always realize is that it isn't automatic.

If the property is your primary residence, you may qualify for a reduction in your property taxes. To apply, contact your parish assessor's office after closing. They will let you know what documentation they need from you. Once approved, the exemption generally remains in place as long as the property continues to qualify.

It's a simple step that's easy to overlook—but one that's definitely worth taking.

When people hear the term "closing costs," they often think of buyer expenses. But buyers and sellers can both have costs associated with a real estate transaction.

For buyers, closing costs may include things like lender fees, title work, insurance-related expenses, and prepaid items. Sellers often have their own costs as well, which can vary depending on the transaction.

The exact numbers are different for every sale, but it's important to understand that the sale price isn't always what a seller walks away with—or the only amount a buyer needs to plan for.

A property disclosure is one of the first documents buyers should review when considering a home. 🙂

While no document can tell you everything about a property, disclosures can provide valuable information about the home's condition and help buyers ask better questions before moving forward.

What else can I help you better understand?

Ever wonder what people mean when they say we're in a buyer's market or a seller's market? 🤷🏻‍♀️
Those terms get thrown around all the time, but they're often misunderstood.
In this video, I explain:
�• What a buyer's market and seller's market actually mean
�• What determines which market we're in
�• What "months of supply" is (in plain English!)�
• And how a balanced market can still lean one direction or the other

My goal is simple: to help make real estate a little easier to understand.

Pre-qualified and pre-approved are often used interchangeably, but they're not quite the same thing. 🙂
A pre-qualification is generally based on information provided by the buyer to a lender, while a pre-approval involves actual verification by the lender. That extra step can make a difference when it comes time to submit an offer.
For buyers, understanding the distinction can help you know where you stand in the lending process. For sellers, it can provide additional confidence in a buyer's ability to obtain financing.
