Serving you IS my business!
LOCAL PROFESSIONAL COMMITTED

A graduate of East Ascension High School and Louisiana State University, I grew up in the heart of Gonzales and have resided all of my life in south Louisiana.

Are you considering buying or selling a home?

Opening or moving a business?

Investing in REAL ESTATE?

Let me go to work for you today!

BUYERS: The way the REALTOR/MLS system works, if you were not already working with an agent, I can represent your interests as your "buyer's agent" on any property available for sale. The listing does not have to be held by our agency. MLS members "share" inventory. Best of all, the seller pays the REALTOR fees, so my efforts on your behalf are at no cost to you!

We can assist buyers and sellers ANYWHERE!

 ... If you learn of someone considering moving, buying or selling and they are not already working with a real estate agent, you can call me.  I will be excited to help them or locate a REALTOR® in the locale specific to their needs and establish contact between them and just the right agent.  With over 126,000 Coldwell Banker sales associates in the U.S. we can pinpoint expert help down to the subdivision they prefer.

7 Reasons to Own Your Own Home

1. Tax breaks. The U.S. Tax Code lets you deduct the interest you pay on your mortgage, property taxes you pay, as well as some of the costs involved in buying your home.

2. Gains. Over five years (1998-2002) national home prices have increased at an average of 5.4 percent annually. And while there's no guarantee of appreciation, a 2001 study by the National Association of REALTORS found that the typical homeowner has approximately $50,000 of unrealized gain in a home.

3. Equity. Money paid for rent is money that you'll never see again, but mortgage payments let you build equity ownership interest in your home.

4. Savings. Building equity in your home is a ready-made savings plan. And when you sell, you can generally take up to $250,000 ($500,000 for a married couple) as gain without owing any federal income tax.

5. Predictability. Unlike rent, your mortgage payments don't go up over the years so your housing costs may actually decline as you own the home longer. However, keep in mind that property taxes and insurance costs will rise.

6. Freedom. The home is yours. You can decorate any way you want and be able to benefit from your investment for as long as you own the home.

7. Stability. Remaining in one neighborhood for several years gives you a chance to participate in community activities, lets you and your family establish lasting friendships, and offers your children the benefit of educational continuity.
