From OVER $700K+ to $610K — How I Negotiated a Baton Rouge Luxury Home Purchase for My Buyer

In today’s real estate market, especially in the Greater Baton Rouge area, buyers are asking the same question:

“Is now a good time to buy a house?”

My recent transaction at 6 Rue Toulouse in Baton Rouge is a perfect example of how strategic negotiation and strong buyer representation can pay off—even in a shifting market.

📍 The Backstory: A Luxury Listing With a Price Drop

Originally listed well above $700,000, this high-end property in a desirable Baton Rouge neighborhood had all the features today’s buyers are looking for: space, curb appeal, and location. Over time, the property sat on the market and gradually reduced to $650,000, signaling that the seller might be open to movement—a key opportunity for the right buyer’s agent to step in.

🤝 My Buyer Needed a Win — I Delivered

My client came to me looking for not only the right home but the right deal. After discussing their goals and financial comfort zone, I knew we needed to approach this one with a tactical edge.

We submitted a competitive, yet assertive offer. There was some expected back and forth, but I stayed firm, confident in my market analysis and in my buyer’s position. Ultimately, I negotiated the property down to $610,000—a significant savings of $40,000 from the already reduced price, and over $90,000 off the original list price.

This kind of outcome doesn’t happen by chance. It takes:

• A clear read of the local market

• Strong communication with the listing agent

• A buyer who trusts the process

• And a Realtor® who knows when to push, and when to pause
