Aiden got dragged along with me to work the other day, so to help pass the time I brought him over to his new favorite place for an extended lunch to have a break in the day. He is determined to get enough tickets to eventually buy a Nintendo Switch 2 😂

What is Claude AI, and why should real estate agents in Lafayette care?

Because it can help you save time on the stuff that eats up your day.

Think listing descriptions, buyer FAQs, follow-up messages, market update ideas, social captions, and even organizing your notes after a busy day of showings.

Claude AI is not here to replace your voice or your relationships. It is a tool that can help you work faster, get unstuck, and show up more consistently for your clients.

But here’s the key: you have to know how to use it the right way.

I’m putting together a local Claude AI for Real Estate Agents class for Acadiana agents who want simple, practical ways to use AI in their real estate business.

Comment CLAUDE or message me if you want the details.

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave everything for our freedom.

Their sacrifice is the reason we get to enjoy moments with family, pursue our dreams, and build a future here at home.

Wishing everyone across Acadiana and South Louisiana a meaningful Memorial Day as we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. 🇺🇸

Aiden got his headphones back from school the other day and insisted he wear them on the ride home. What was he listening to?

Nothing. They weren’t connected to anything. He just wanted to have them on 😅

Are mortgage rates going up or down in Louisiana right now?

This week, rates are likely ticking higher as markets digest today's April CPI inflation report, a key signal for where the Fed moves next. Here's what that means if you're a move-up buyer in Acadiana: the 30-year fixed sits around 6.49% this week, and while that's not the sub-6% window many were hoping for, it hasn't stopped buyers from acting.

East Baton Rouge and Acadiana saw over 1,060 homes sold in Q1 2026 — up 6.8% year-over-year. Move-up buyers who lock in now before further rate movement could gain serious leverage in a market that's quietly gaining momentum.

Waiting for the perfect rate often costs more than moving with the right strategy today. Let's map out your buying power before conditions shift.

The question isn’t “should I wait to buy a home?” Rather, it should be “can I afford to wait to buy a home?”

Here are some common buyer objections when talking about purchasing a home in today’s market:

“I’m waiting on home prices to come down”

-Home prices have only gone negative twice in US history (1990-91 and then again in 2007-11, both drastically different markets than what we are currently in) and have been steadily rising every year since

“Interest rates are too high”

-The 50 year average of mortgage interest rates is right under 8%. Current national average rates are in the low to mid-6s for a 30 year conventional

“I’m going to wait for interest rates to come down”

-Mortgage rates have been above 6% since September of 2022. We don’t have a crystal ball that sees into the future to tell us when they will do down, or how much lower they will go.

Waiting for the “perfect time” to buy a home could be costing you money in the long run. If you want to have a real conversation about what the numbers look like here in Lafayette, send me a message. No sales pitch, no pressure, just education on where the real estate market is.
