Arla is fantastic. My husband and I were house hunting from across country, which put me on edge initially. Once we started working with Arla, I was out at ease. She understood what our goals and dreams were for our house and helped us land our forever home. She communicated with the seller to get our house at a better deal and got the construction done that we wanted. She has followed up with us before, during, and even after our move. I would recommend Arla to anyone, hands down!

She took the time to really listen to our needs and preferences, and she consistently showed us properties that matched our niche style! Arla's professionalism was evident in every step of the process. She was always punctual, well-prepared, and extremely knowledgeable about the housing market.

Kristen & Corey - Buyers

Arla is very knowledgeable in her subject matter. She provides all the required details and makes you feel comfortable in making decisions.

Kusum - Lafayette

Arla provided absolute concierge level service from the minute we asked about our home search. After meeting her for the first time, we put our faith and trust in Arla and she worked tirelessly to honor our situation. Straightforward when we needed it most, flexible and compassionate when times were tough, and determined and motivated when we needed to get across the finish line. Arla was recommended to us by a professional/social contact. She delivered 24/7 support while answering every question/concern we had throughout the 6 month process with deep insight, and sensitivity no matter how silly, mundane, tough, personal, or repetitive they were). She was compassionate, and deeply committed to finding us exactly what we wanted (even though that changed many times!). Arla is absolutely one of the most professional, skilled, talented, friendly, and intelligent people I’ve ever worked with in any industry. We have made a new life-long friend, and will look immediately to her for any/all future real estate endeavors. Can’t say enough positive things about our experience with Arla; and it had everything to do with her superior delivery, market insight, determination, and commitment to her craft. She is gifted, and in my book, in the top 1% of professionals as a National Ambassador for the Real Estate Industry. Bottom line: for many of us, buying property is one of the biggest investments we’ll ever make. It’s more than just a business transaction and even though she KNOWS her business, she also understands the personal and emotional significance of the situation/event. She found us exactly what we wanted, at the price we wanted, in the location we wanted, and closed quickly with no drama, no surprises, and no issues.

Marci & Jim - Buyers

Arla was fantastic! She paid attention to the details I was looking for in my Lafayette house, and helped me find the perfect home. She was always ahead of schedule and prepared a packet of information for each house we looked at, which contained MLS listing, notes from sellers, disclosures, flood zone, and other information needed to help make decisions. Very organized and responsive, and explained the differences between home buying in Louisiana since we were moving from out of state. She also recommended great resources to help us with installations and move in. Would not hesitate to recommend her and call her again for my real estate needs. Thanks Arla and Jessie!

We communicated almost daily and Arla kept us in the loop as things were happening on what became a fairly complex sale.
