Lauren Huffman

Team Leader · REALTOR®

I'm on a mission to provide my community with the highest level of value and customer service during a real estate transaction. I began my real estate career in Southwest Louisiana in 2019. In my first year, I was honored as my brokerage's Rookie of the Year. I was raised in the rodeo world, where grit, discipline, and strong values weren't just taught, they were lived every day. That foundation shaped who I am and how I run my business: with integrity, relentless work ethic, and a commitment to getting results. Over the last few years, I have grown my business into a real estate team that has earned the privilege of serving several hundred families. In 2025, I was incredibly honored to be named REALTOR® of the Year by the Southwest Louisiana Association of REALTORS® and to receive the Trusted Advisor Award through EXIT Realty in Louisiana. These recognitions are something I am extremely grateful for and proud of, not simply because of the awards themselves, but because I believe they are a testament to the values and beliefs I have built my business on: serving people well, doing the right thing, working hard, and always putting my clients first. As the team leader, I believe that we provide an excellent level of communication, service, and knowledge that will help you make the best decision when looking to buy, sell, or invest in real estate. We would absolutely be thrilled with the opportunity to meet and help you. We are so thankful for all of our clients, as they are the epitome of our business and our referral business. We pride ourselves on the fact that over 70% of our business comes from referrals, which is one of the greatest compliments we could receive. We are proud to call Louisiana our home and would love to help you feel that same exact way. If you have any questions regarding market trends, investing, buying, or selling real estate, I'm your girl! Call me anytime.

Karley Hebert

REALTOR®

Hi, I’m Karley Hebert, a licensed Realtor® with EXIT Realty Southern and proud member of the Land & Home Group, serving Sulphur, Lake Charles, Moss Bluff, Westlake, + surrounding Southwest Louisiana communities. Before real estate, I built my career in high-end event sales and hospitality, where I learned early on that the details matter, communication matters, and people remember how you make them feel. With a degree in Hospitality Management and Tourism and years spent helping people navigate some of life’s biggest celebrations, stepping into real estate felt like a natural fit. Today, I bring that same people-first approach to every interaction. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a longtime property, relocating, investing, or simply trying to figure out your next move, my goal is to make the process feel clear, organized, and a whole lot less overwhelming. I believe great real estate service is about more than getting to the closing table. It’s staying ahead of the details, communicating well, solving problems when they come up, advocating for my clients, and doing the work behind the scenes to help move things in the right direction. More than anything, I want my clients to feel like they truly had someone in their corner from start to finish—not just someone who said the right things, but someone who followed through, paid attention, and took action with their goals and best interests in mind. Outside of real estate, I’m all about family, good food, local favorites, and always having a trip on the calendar to look forward to. At the end of the day, I believe people remember how you make them feel—and my goal is for my clients to remember feeling informed, supported, and genuinely cared for every step of the way.

Michelle Rigdon

REALTOR®

I'm Michelle Rigdon, a full-time REALTOR® serving Lake Charles, Louisiana, and the surrounding Southwest Louisiana communities, including Sulphur, Moss Bluff, Westlake, Carlyss, and beyond. Over the past five years, I've built my business around honest communication, local knowledge, and genuinely taking care of the people who trust me with their homes. While I work with both buyers and sellers, I have a special passion for helping first-time home sellers. Selling a home can feel overwhelming when you don't know what to expect, so I make education a big part of what I do. From our first meeting, my goal is to give you a clear plan for preparing, pricing, marketing, and selling your home. I'll walk you through each step, explain the reasoning behind my recommendations, and set realistic expectations from the beginning. I believe my clients should always understand what is happening, why it matters, and what comes next. I'm not the kind of agent who puts a sign in the yard and disappears. I stay involved, communicate consistently, and work alongside my clients from our first conversation through closing. Whether that means helping you decide which improvements are worth making, preparing your home for professional photos, reviewing market data, negotiating an offer, or working through an unexpected problem, I'll be there to guide you. As a lifelong Southwest Louisiana resident, I understand the communities I serve and the people who call them home. I've helped close more than 90 homes and over $14.5 million in career sales, but the part of this work I value most is earning my clients' trust and helping them feel confident in their decisions. Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with my family, working in my garden, and taking on projects around my own home. Those interests have also shaped the way I approach real estate: I understand that a home is more than a transaction. It's personal, and the experience of buying or selling it should be treated that way.

In 2021, I earned my license and began helping buyers and sellers directly, turning their dreams into reality.

That’s why I’m committed to making the process as smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable as possible.
