Testimonials
Here's what our clients have to say:
"Candace is an amazing realtor. She assisted me with both the sale of my home and the purchase of a new home within a two month time frame. She is very knowledgeable about real estate in general and the Louisiana capital area market, specifically. She was able to help me navigate some very tricky negotiations in both the sale and purchase process. She used her expertise to enable me to make the best decisions in a timely manner without making me feel pressured. She is honest, kind, direct, even tempered and firm (when negotiating) all at the same time. A gem and a rare find in the real estate industry. "

My husband and I recently sold our 1st home and purchased the home of our dreams! Antonio Cousin of Service 1st Real Estate made both processes so much easier than we expected. Not only is he an experienced Realtor and Broker, he goes over and beyond to ensure his clients get the best deal no matter their financial situation. He made us feel like we were his only clients, as he made sure to reply to every email and text, following up with loads of pertinent information and valuable resources.

I don’t even know where to begin, because there are so many amazing things I can say about our experience with Service 1st Real Estate. My husband and I weren’t actually looking to start the process of selling and buying a house. However, Antonio convinced us that it was a great time, based on the housing market, to give it a shot. We had an amazing experience, with no problems whatsoever.
While I know this is not always the case, I can assure you that even if problems do arise, Antonio is so knowledgeable and passionate about his business that he will find a way to solve any problem. He is always on top of what needs to be done and he stays on top of you as his client to get things done. He is there with you every step of the way, especially when things may get a little worrisome. He made himself available to answer any questions that we had. He is AMAZING at what he does and what makes it even better, he truly enjoys it. I highly recommend Service 1st Real Estate. Thank you so much for everything, you are amazing!!!

Antonio is an amazing realtor! He is super knowledgeable and very prompt in his communication. I was able to be the first person to see a property in less than 3 hours after it hit the market, I submitted the very first offer, and Antonio gave me great advice on how to submit the strongest offer to ensure that my offer was accepted by the Seller. The Seller accept our offer over an all cash offer!
Additionally, when the appraisal came back at $50K under the listed price, Antonio moved swiftly to ensure that the Seller agreed to a much lower and advantageous sales price for me and was able to get it to be lower than what I was willing to pay. Antonio worked hard to ensure that I was able to close in less than 30 days. Take my word for it, give Antonio a call and let him work his magic. This was easily the best and smoothest home-buying experience I've ever had compared to the other times I've purchased a property.

I cannot speak highly enough of Antonio and Service 1st Real Estate. Antonio took the time to help me prepare for my home purchase over a year before I was ready to buy - connecting me with resources and providing knowledge to help me prepare for the process. When the time came, he was able to negotiate a fantastic sales price for me home (in today's crazy market no less!) and helped to set up and execute all of the various inspections needed to be able to close on the property quickly. Highly recommend!

Antonio and the team at Service 1st Real Estate were incredible in helping my husband and I to secure our dream home in New Orleans. Antonio is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and always kept our best interests at heart. He's also a total pleasure to work with. I couldn't recommend him or the Service 1st team more highly!

Antonio Cousin was placed on our radar by GOD. He went to school with my cousin and even helped our high school mentor find her home. From the start, he WAS and IS more than knowledgeable, patient, and thorough in every encounter. His promptness, knowledge of the market, strategic mindset, kindness, and good energy made a potentially chaotic purchasing process simple.
We always sent a list of homes where he ALWAYS told us about his concerns and the research he wanted to do to make sure the house was even worth looking at with our specific situation. He truly treated the situation like he was purchasing the property – He looked out for us big time and had our best interest in mind.
Antonio Cousin will work with you to make your desires a reality. He is also very well-versed in dealing with other real estate agents. When there were disagreements about certain verbiage in documents, Antonio was patient, and humble and worked through some tough situations without breaking a sweat. His cool, calm mindset kept our anxiety low and gave us the confidence they would get the job done – and He Definitely did!

Antonio was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Although this is my second home purchase, the process was still different. I am grateful I chose Antonio as my realtor to guide me. I recommend him to help you find your dream home! Keep up the great work Antonio!

Literally the best realtor you can ask for, professional, down to earth and most importantly gets the job done! Antonio got my seller to budge with the price when no one else could, thank you!
Krystal Harris
My husband and I contacted Antonio Cousin on a Friday night just minutes after seeing a triplex in a very desirable area come on the market. He counseled us on the best strategy in making our offer and it worked! Our offer beat 2 other offers and by that Sunday we were under contract.
From offer to closing, Antonio advised us through each step and was attentive and knowledgeable. He helped us negotiate a reduction in price and provided us with valuable resources. Even after closing he has been a great source of information and advice. In addition to being a great realtor, he’s a great gifter…at closing he rolled out the red carpet and got us personalized gifts that proved that he listened to everything we said on the topic of real estate and off ??We look forward to working with him in the future.

Antonio made what seemed to be an impossible task very possible. Being that I am totally naive to real estate, I had to put all my faith in his expertise to sell my condo. He was able to give me a few options regarding my property sale, and from there he assisted me in picking the best option. Most agents I’ve dealt with in the past don’t like to work with individuals if it doesn’t benefit them greatly. However, Antonio puts his clients’ needs first no matter what the situation is. I’m glad I had an agent as patient and realistic as he was.

I just purchased my first investment property and Antonio was amazing from the minute I informed him I was ready to buy. He connected me to a lender, worked through all of my wants and wishes to find me the perfect duplex. He was always available, had super quick responses for all of my endless questions and kept me in the loop as we went through putting in 3+ offers over 3 months. Even after I purchased my home, he connected me with contractors and repair people he has used in my area. If you need to purchase a home, you want Antonio to be your realtor. He has set the bar for what I expect from my realtor. I’m looking forward to purchasing my next investment property with him soon.

Selling my home couldn’t have been easier thanks to Antonio! He provided guidance and advice every step of the way, making a transparent and efficient process. I’ve heard real estate horror stories but this was close to perfection. I would highly recommend Antonio to anyone for their real estate needs.
