Client Success Story: Helping A Military Family Secure An Lsu Condo

Client Love ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A 3-Year Journey, One Mission Accomplished

Some real estate transactions happen quickly. Others take time, trust, and a long-term commitment. This story falls squarely into the second category—and it’s one I’m especially proud of.

About three years ago, I was contacted by the wife of an active-duty Navy servicemember stationed in Virginia. They were planning ahead for life after retirement and wanted guidance on purchasing property in Louisiana. At the time, retirement plans were still evolving, but one thing was clear: they needed a trusted local expert who could play the long game.

Navigating Real Estate From Out of State

While remaining stationed in Virginia, this family stayed in close contact with me as their plans shifted and timelines changed—as military life often requires. Eventually, the focus turned to finding a condo near LSU for their children, who would be attending the university.

Buying from out of state can be stressful. Add in changing duty stations, long timelines, and family needs, and the stakes get even higher. My role was to:

  • Monitor the local Baton Rouge condo market

  • Provide honest, data-driven guidance

  • Act as boots-on-the-ground while they were hundreds of miles away

  • Connect them with a reliable mortgage team

Mission Accomplished ✅

We successfully secured Unit 303, a well-located condo that checked all the boxes for their family and their investment goals. From showings to negotiations to closing coordination, everything was handled with clear communication and precision.

Just as important, I introduced them to an outstanding mortgage team that made the financing process smooth and efficient—another critical piece when buying remotely.

Their words say it best:

“Mission accomplished! Not only did he support us, but he also connected us with an outstanding mortgage team. Loyalty goes a long way in this state, and Tyler worked with us for over 3 years.”


 Why This Story Matters

This wasn’t a quick transaction—and that’s exactly the point.

Real estate isn’t always about speed. Sometimes it’s about:

  • Patience

  • Long-term planning

  • Consistent communication

  • Trust built over time

I’m honored to have worked with this family for over three years and even more honored that, as they prepare for final Navy retirement, they’ve chosen to continue working with me as they secure their forever home.


Thinking About Buying in Baton Rouge or Near LSU?

Whether you’re:

  • Active-duty military or a veteran

  • Buying from out of state

  • Looking for housing for LSU students

  • Planning years ahead instead of months

You deserve a Realtor who’s willing to stay the course.
