I’m licensed to serve clients anywhere in the state of Louisiana, and I’m proud to call Acadiana my home base. Most of my business is centered around Lafayette, Youngsville, Broussard, Carencro, Scott, Maurice, and the surrounding parishes, but I regularly help clients across the state who need trusted representation wherever their journey takes them.

Whether you’re buying in Baton Rouge, selling in Lake Charles, or relocating to Lafayette, I’ll make sure you’re supported every step of the way.

Yes. Carol Grindrod works with both buyers and sellers throughout Lafayette, Youngsville, Broussard, and the Acadiana region. She provides dedicated representation tailored to each client’s goals, whether that means finding the right home or achieving the best sale.

Carol never represents both sides of the same transaction. Each client deserves her full focus, loyalty, and attention. Her goal is to ensure every buyer and seller feels supported, informed, and confident from start to finish.

Under current industry rules and Louisiana law, every client relationship must include a written agreement that clearly explains how a REALTOR® is compensated. This protects both the client and the agent by keeping every detail transparent and in writing.

Before showing any homes, Carol Grindrod will review and sign a Buyer Representation Agreement with you. This agreement outlines exactly how she will be paid, whether the payment comes directly from you, from the seller, or a combination of both. The amount and method of payment must be specific, agreed upon, and documented before any showings take place.

Compensation is always negotiable and transparent. Sellers may still choose to offer payment to a buyer’s agent, but those offers are now discussed privately and outside of the MLS.

In short, it is both a Louisiana requirement and Carol’s personal standard that you always know exactly how she is compensated before your working relationship begins.

Experience, strategy, and genuine care. Carol Grindrod does not just list homes, she markets them. She does not just open doors, she guides people through one of life’s biggest decisions.
