How long will it take to sell my home?

It depends on price, condition, location and current market conditions. Jay shows sellers recent days-on-market figures for comparable homes in their own neighborhood rather than quoting a general average.

What does it cost to sell a house in Louisiana?

Typical seller costs include commission, which is negotiable, title and closing fees, any negotiated buyer concessions and repairs. Jay provides an estimated net sheet before listing so sellers can see their likely proceeds.

Selling Your Home in Prairieville & the Baton Rouge Area

Selling isn't just putting a sign in the yard. It's pricing right on day one, getting your home in front of serious buyers, and negotiating well all the way to closing. That's where I come in.

Start with what your home could sell for

I'll walk your home in person, compare it against recent nearby sales and the homes you'd be competing with right now, and give you a realistic price range with the reasoning behind it. Not an automated estimate off the internet — those don't know your floor plan, your updates or your street.

My seller marketing plan

Professional photography, plus video or a full YouTube home tour where the property calls for it.
Exposure on the MLS, the major home-search sites, my YouTube channel and social media.
A property page on this site that I share directly with buyers and agents.
Showing feedback after every showing, and a weekly update from me whether or not there's news.
Targeted promotion to relocating buyers, who are a real and often overlooked slice of this market.

Getting your home ready

Before anything is listed, we walk the house together and build a prioritized prep list: what's worth fixing, what to leave alone, what staging will actually move the needle, and whether a pre-listing inspection makes sense for your situation. The goal is to spend money only where it comes back to you.

Offers, inspections and closing

When offers come in, we compare them on net proceeds and on certainty — financing type, contingencies, timelines, who the lender is — not just the headline price. From there I handle inspection responses, repair negotiations and the appraisal through closing.

Selling and buying at the same time?

Most of my sellers are also buying. We line up timing, contingencies and financing so you're not stuck owning two homes or renting back at a bad rate. See how the sell-and-buy plan works →

Seller questions

How long will it take to sell?

It depends on price, condition and the current market. Rather than quote you an average, I'll show you recent days-on-market for homes like yours in your neighborhood.

Should I make repairs before listing?

Sometimes. We focus on what affects a buyer's first impression or what will come up at inspection anyway. Plenty of projects aren't worth doing before a sale, and I'll tell you which ones.

What does it cost to sell?

Commission (negotiable), title and closing fees, and any concessions or repairs you agree to. I'll give you an estimated net sheet before we list so there are no surprises at the closing table.

Will you put my home on YouTube?

When it fits the property and you're comfortable with it, yes. My channel reaches buyers who are actively researching this area, including people relocating from out of state who can't tour in person yet.

I don't guarantee a sale price or a timeline, and you should be skeptical of anyone who does. What I can promise is a straight read on your home's position in the market.
