... Read moreCelebrating Flag Day along with America’s remarkable 250th birthday is truly a special occasion, especially when it happens right in the heart of Downtown Baton Rouge. Attending this patriotic parade isn’t just about witnessing festive floats and music; it’s also a powerful way to connect with your local community and the professionals who serve it. As someone passionate about homeownership and community building, I find events like this parade provide a unique opportunity to engage with local realtors who aren’t just selling homes, but supporting families and neighborhoods every single day. The parade kick-off at Galvez Plaza marks the start of an afternoon filled with great activities, delicious food, and live music, making it ideal for family-friendly fun. What makes this celebration unforgettable is its rich symbolism: "One Flag. One Nation. 250 Years of Freedom." For those of us who help people find homes in Louisiana, it’s a poignant reminder of the dreams and freedoms that homeownership represents. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, looking to sell, or simply community-minded, meeting your realtor in this festive atmosphere can turn a professional connection into a personal one. If you’re in Baton Rouge on June 14, I highly encourage you to come out, enjoy the celebration, and don’t hesitate to wave when you spot your local realtor! It’s a time to honor our nation’s history and to look forward, together, toward building thriving neighborhoods—one family, one home at a time.

How much you make as a realtor 💸
Here's what you need to know about the money you make in real estate! - Depending on your broker, the split varies. - The average split is 70/30, but it could be 80/20, 90/10 or 50/50 if you're on a team. - If you get the lead from Zillow, Opcity, or Realtor.com, you have to pay them
