To buy a home in Louisiana, you’ll typically need a pre-approval from a lender, a down payment (often 3–20% depending on your loan type), and funds for closing costs. You’ll also need a licensed REALTOR® to guide you through showings, offers, inspections, and final paperwork. I help make sure every step is stress-free!

Closing costs in Louisiana usually range from 2% to 5% of the home's purchase price. This includes lender fees, title insurance, appraisal, property taxes, and sometimes attorney fees. I always provide my clients with a clear estimate upfront so there are no surprises.

In Louisiana, it's not required to hire a real estate attorney, but many buyers and sellers choose to work with one — especially in complex transactions. Title companies often handle closings here, and I work closely with trusted professionals to ensure everything is handled smoothly.

Yes, definitely! A home inspection is crucial to understand the property’s condition before you buy. In Louisiana, this includes checking for termites, foundation issues, and roof condition — especially with our weather. I always recommend trusted local inspectors to protect your investment.

Louisiana has some of the lowest property taxes in the country! Rates vary by parish, but most homeowners pay well below the national average. You may also qualify for a homestead exemption that reduces your property tax bill if the home is your primary residence.

As your REALTOR®, I handle everything — from pricing your home right, to professional marketing, showings, negotiations, and closing paperwork. I know the local market and use smart strategies to help you sell for top dollar with less stress.
