About · Since 1994

A family brokerage
on West University Avenue.

We've been leasing, managing, and caring for Acadiana properties for thirty-two years. We've outlasted three recessions, two hurricanes, and every "disrupter" who was going to replace the neighborhood landlord.

In 1994, Paul Broussard converted a dentist's office into a real estate office.

He started with a handful of family rentals and word of mouth did the rest. What began as a side arrangement became the whole job, and it has stayed a family business ever since.

Today Broussard Properties manages residential and commercial units across Lafayette Parish. We still operate out of the same West University address — though the paneling is gone, and there's a proper sign out front.

Our portfolio is weighted toward the Saint Streets, Downtown, and South Lafayette. We're selective about what we take on. We say no to more properties than we accept, because we'd rather do a hundred things well than a thousand things badly.

§ What we believe

How we actually run the place.

I.

We answer our own phone.

Between 8 and 5, (337) 236-6207 rings at a desk. After hours, it rings a phone somebody carries. Never a call center.

II.

Maintenance is not a "ticket."

If your AC dies in August, we do not send a form email. We send somebody, usually within the day.

III.

We lease to people, not applications.

We run the standard checks. We also read the references and return the calls. A good tenant is worth more than a month's deposit.

IV.

Owners get the truth.

If your rental is underpriced, we'll tell you. If it's overpriced, we'll tell you twice. Honest numbers, monthly.
