Our Purpose: Be useful to our clients.

Useful is a humble word, but to be of use to our clients is Avant Properties’ foremost goal and purpose.

We are consistently a top producer in the commercial real estate market of northwest Louisiana because we are committed to providing client-focused services. Due to this commitment, we are often afforded the opportunity to participate in many of the most noteworthy transactions in the Shreveport/Bossier City area (see Properties). The qualities, abilities and skills we value most are:

Professionalism and Integrity

We do the job we promise to do and we do it well. We tell the truth, do not compromise our integrity and we take our Realtor Code of Ethics seriously.

Market Expertise and Credibility

Smaller real estate markets often provide better investment opportunities and sites for businesses than our big city counterparts but it takes hometown knowledge to find those gems. We know our community and this knowledge and our experience can be your greatest asset.

Also, Avant Properties enjoys an excellent reputation in the local marketplace and we are committed to the education and professional growth of our staff. Our clients can be confident that we have the highest level of industry knowledge and skill because members of our team have been awarded professional designations such as Certified Property Manager (CPM) and Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM). We also participate in the BOMA organization (Building Owners and Managers Association) as well as IREM (Institute of Real Estate Management). The prestigious Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR) has also granted membership to one of our Avant Properties’ team members. While this alphabet soup of acronyms may be inconsequential to most non-realtors, the level of education, experience and sophistication they represent confirms that Avant Properties is qualified to participate in the most complex of transactions.

Responsiveness

Brokers, leasing agents and property managers cannot be useful to their clients if they are not available and punctual. Our good business practices include promptly returning telephone calls and the timely delivery of materials and information.

Attention to Detail

Contract administration, due diligence assistance, zoning applications and property inspections are just a few of the critical details that lead to successfully completing a sale or lease. Our role does not end and our interest does not wane when the contract is signed. Our leasing and brokerage teams stay involved as long as we are needed beyond the closing. The owners of our managed properties receive comprehensive monthly reports and annual performance assessments that compare favorably to those produced by any real estate company in the world.

Momentum Maintenance

Time kills many a deal. A useful broker or leasing agent shepherds the transaction and propels the parties, their attorneys, accountants and other representatives toward closing. The extra phone call we make, the final meeting we schedule and especially, our willingness to do the work of others, if required, has brought more than one transaction to a successful conclusion.

Determination

The intangible. Some transactions close simply because the individuals involved will not allow it to fail. Avant Properties encourages its staff to think creatively when faced with complex situations. Real estate is not a simple business, nor is it for the faint of heart. Tenacity and the willingness to do things a different way or take a different path yields positive results for our clients time and time again.
