How we helped Amanda by not letting anything stop the closing process

"I got a cute little house and I love it! When it was time for closing there was a lot of confusion. And they took care of everything and got it done on the same day. The other person wanted to cancel at the last minute but they took care of all that and got it done."

-Amanda Black, Home buyer

How we helped Lan by making the buying process easy on our clients

"We were buying a house and it was quick and easy and painless. It didn’t feel like we had to do very much. I thought we would have to be way more involved. But him and the company we got the loan with worked well together. It was very easy on us."

-Lan Richardson, Home buyer

How we helped Zack and Amy by always being responsive

"Everyone was very helpful! Robbie was very helpful in both selling our house and finding us a new house. Robin was obviously very helpful in finding us a new house, but it was great overall. When we were closing on the house, we were kind of in a time crunch. Robbie and Robin were very involved with the developer of the property to make sure things were done timely so that we could close when we need to close. So I think they were just very responsive."

- Amy Melancon, Home sellers

How we helped Glen by always being there when he needed us

"They did everything I needed them to do. Trying to do the appraisal on the house, having to come here several times and open up the house for different people, just always there when I needed them."

Glen Shireman, Home seller

How we helped Erica by always being accommodating

"We looked at a couple houses and they helped me find the one I was looking for! Robin is my realtor. She always accommodated my schedule which is after 6 and on the weekend. So she spent her weekends and, I believe, the fourth of July looking at houses. "

-Erica Mayon, Home buyer

Lending Advice for Home Buyers in Lafayette

Buying a home? Search all Homes for Sale

Today I want to speak about the lending process and some of the best practices that you should be aware of when you work with them.

One of the most important things that you can do is to keep all lines of communication open with your agent and the lender. This will speed up the time of your transaction and make it much less stressful. The quicker you can get documents to your lender, the quicker you can close the transaction.

At a minimum, we speak with our lenders at least once per week, and sometimes we contact them two or more times. We think the determination between a bad lender and a good lender is the way they communicate with us and our clients.

If you would like to hear about some of our preferred lenders, please don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to speaking with you!

We have been seeing some great signs in the Lafayette real estate market lately. Today we are going to run through the statistics for July and give you an update on those.

July's market statistics look really good. We have seen a 7.5% increase in units, a 13.5% increase in dollar volume, and a huge increase in new construction.

Another thing that's on the rise is our average sale price. It has gone up 5.5% and now sits at $268,500. Overall, our listing inventory is up 5% and new construction is down a little bit.

Right now, we are looking at a 4.5 month supply of inventory on homes listed under a million. The most activity in our market, however, is seen in the $150,000- $300,000 price range, where there is about 3-4 months of inventory.

Interest rates are still doing fantastic. A 30-year fixed rate can be had for 4% and 15-year fixed loans are even lower at about 3.375%.

Overall, the market looks really strong and there is a lot of movement. If you have any questions for us, we would love for you to give us a call or send us an email. We would be happy to help out!

How we helped Amber by always going above and beyond

"We had great results. Robin helped in every way she could and now we have a beautiful new home."

-Amber Morrow, Home Buyer

How we helped Allen by making the process easy for him

"It was very easy, and very quick. Robbie knew what I wanted and made it nice and simple for me. He made everything fit for what I needed. He was always able to go out and look at houses or if I needed anything outside of that, he was right there and able to take care of it for me. "

-Allen Green, Home Buyer

How we helped Blaise by providing a consistent level of excellence

"We had 14 showings in less than a week and three offers! I’ve used Robbie Breaux & Team a couple times and I’ve referred them a couple times so I’ve come to expect his level of excellence. But one thing he did in closing was point out that his commission on my house was too high. That was over and above when it came to honesty."

-Blaise Gregory, Home Seller

testimonials from happy clients

Sara - "I really enjoyed everything about my home buying experience. Robbie made everything easy. He was so professional and has great market knowledge. Every interaction was so amazing that there’s not one thing I would change."

Katie - "We looked all over for a home and found one with Robbie Breaux & Team. It was a really great experience! After the inspection, any problems we had he would send someone over to fix it with no questions asked. It was really helpful and we appreciated it!"

Drew - "Originally we had our house on the market with another Realtor for about 8 months with no results. We decided to lower the price and put it on the market as for sale by owner, which was a nightmare, and still had no results. After contacting Robbie, we felt very comfortable with him and he gave us a list of things we needed to do in order to sell our home. We did everything and on the first day back on the market we had 2 offers, both for full price. He hit a grand slam so I had a great experience with Robbie!"

Crystal - "They were really great. They did everything for us and was always there when I called or texted. They were always available whenever I had a question."

Melba - "The Robbie Breaux Team really kept me informed and it was a great experience. I actually had a couple of houses that fell through, nothing to do with the team but because I had been dragging my feet. They continuously found me more houses to look at which I really appreciated!"

Missy - "Our agent checked on everything for us. We lived about 3 hours out of where we bought the home and she would go over and take pictures to check on the progress of the home we were building. Any time we had questions, whether it was before hours or after hours, I could always count on an answer. They just went way above and beyond what was expected."

Frankie - "He sold my house and then were able to get me a new home very quickly. Robbie did everything above and beyond. He’s a good friend of mine and he did everything we asked of him and probably more than he had to in order to help us deal with our move and both of our real estate transactions."

Kimberly - "We had tried selling our home 3 times prior to working with Robbie and he had it sold within 2 weeks! We were thrilled! We had moved to Houston and the house we were selling was in Lafayette so everything had to be done over the phone or over one visit. We actually did paperwork so that he would be our power of attorney so we didn’t have to make the trip back when the house sold. He took care of all the paperwork and everything for us, which we really appreciated."

Chuck - "Everything was really good. We got our house sold in 3 days so we were pretty happy about that. We had to wait a little while to show our house so everyone on his team was very patient and did a good job. Robbie was very good with negotiating and getting things down quickly."

Ricky - "I’ve known Robbie for a while because he and my daughter are good friends. He sold a house for her so I decided to work with him. They responded to all my requests for open houses and pictures and he was also proactive at the end of the sale. I am very appreciative of all his help!"

Greg - "We had good results when we worked with Robbie Breaux and his team. They helped and gave us ideas and hints on how to make the house more appealing for curb appeal. It was a little touch up there, a little touch up here. Fix this, fix that, and I did most of it myself and it worked! The house was turned over pretty quickly!"

Kevin - "He sold my house fast, and he was able to help me find a house fast. He made it a seamless transition. He was very flexible. Even if it was after hours, he was always willing to meet us at any time. That was very helpful with our schedules."

Boyer - "We worked with them for about two and a half months. We were able to purchase a home that worked out well for us. Both my wife and I have hectic schedules and a small child. They were incredibly flexible with their schedules in order to help with ours, and that was much appreciated."

Bonnie - "My house sold to the first viewer. His team helped stage my home, and I think that’s why it sold so fast. He stayed in touch with me, and his team helped me with things over the computer that I wasn’t real familiar with, like e-signing. They were really accommodating and easy to work with!"

Laurie - "We had thirty days to sell our house, and we sold it in two and a half weeks! Everyone on the team was awesome, but I especially appreciated the work Amber did. I had a lot of questions, and she definitely went above and beyond by answering them all. Everything went well."

Candy & Gerald -"Whenever we wanted to look at a house, or if we needed to talk to our realtor on the phone, she was there! And I was touched that after we bought a house they gave us a gift card and a little present as a thank you for working with them."

Connie -"Everything went well! While we were moving Robin helped us sort out some minor issues, even though the house was already sold!"

Karl -"We purchased a home we wanted very much! Our realtor, Laurie Kramer was very professional. She kept us informed any way she could. Text, emails, calls, we always knew what was going on and at what point we were in the process."
