How to Choose the Right Realtor in Ascension Parish

Choosing the right real estate agent can make or break your buying or selling experience. In Ascension Parish, where market trends shift neighborhood by neighborhood, you need someone who knows the local landscape and can guide you through the process with confidence.

What to Look for in a Great Realtor

1. Local Knowledge: Your agent should know Prairieville, Gonzales, and Geismar inside and out — from school zones to flood maps.

2. Experience: Look for someone who’s handled hundreds of deals and knows how to navigate tough negotiations or tricky timelines.

3. Team Support: A solo agent might struggle to keep up. At the Southern Homes Team, we bring in specialists — from listing coordinators and photographers to ad managers and transaction experts.

4. Marketing Savvy: In today's world, your agent should know how to use social media, video, and targeted digital ads to attract buyers — not just put a sign in the yard.

5. Reputation: Reviews, testimonials, and local awards (like Best of Baton Rouge!) are strong indicators you’re in good hands.

Buying or selling in Ascension Parish isn’t just a transaction — it’s a major life decision. Work with a team that takes it personally.
