Carol Grindrod REALTOR®, Broker-Owner
Carol has spent the last thirteen years learning what most people already know deep down: buying or selling a home is never just a transaction. It's where your kids grow up, how close you stay to family, whether the next chapter feels settled or unsettled. She takes that seriously.
As a Realtor and Broker serving buyers and sellers across Acadiana, Carol's approach is simple: honest information, steady communication, and zero pressure. No sales scripts, no pushing a decision before someone's ready. Just the kind of straightforward guidance she'd want if she were the one making the move.
For buyers, that means slowing down long enough to understand what actually matters, whether that's a school district, a commute, or just a house that finally feels like home, then using her market knowledge to help them make a confident, well-timed offer. For sellers, it means a marketing plan built around what makes a property stand out, and the negotiating experience to get the best terms once the right buyer shows up.
Carol holds her Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR), Military Relocation Professional (MRP), Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE), Seller Representative Specialist (SRS), and Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designations. She's a member of the National Association of Realtors and the Realtor Association of Acadiana, and is licensed by the Louisiana Real Estate Commission.
Carol has called Youngsville home for eighteen years. She's been married nineteen years to her husband, a Brit whose dry humor she's still adjusting to, and together they're raising a seventeen-year-old daughter. She loves this community and the time she gets to spend with family and friends in it. Real estate isn't a side interest for her, it's genuinely what she loves doing most, and it shows in how she works.
Janice Wheat, REALTOR®
Born and raised in Louisiana, Janice earned her degree in Merchandising and Business from Northwestern State University before spending 34 years in retail management with Target and Dollar General. Along the way, she built a reputation for listening first, staying organized, solving problems with patience, and genuinely caring about the people she served.
After buying her own home in Youngsville in 2015, Janice discovered just how meaningful the home buying experience could be. Already drawn to real estate, she started imagining what it would be like to help others feel that same excitement and confidence. A few years later, she turned that interest into a career she truly loves.
Today, Janice brings that same people-first approach to every client she works with. Known for her calm, steady nature, she takes the time to understand what matters most, answers questions honestly, and never rushes an important decision. Her attention to detail, strong work ethic, and genuine compassion help clients feel comfortable, confident, and cared for.
Integrity has always been the foundation of Janice's career. She believes that when you put people first, build trust, and do the right thing, success follows on its own, and that philosophy guides every relationship and every transaction she's part of.
When she's not working, Janice is spending time with her fiancé John, her daughters Alayna and Alexa, her granddaughter Saylor, and the rest of her family and friends. She's chipping away at a travel bucket list, cheering on the Saints, staying active with yoga, pilates, and weight training, or out in the yard, which she happily calls her favorite place to unwind. She's also known to show up for a good game of mahjong.
