Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most from buyers and sellers in Shreveport, Bossier City, and the surrounding Northwest Louisiana area.
What should I look for when choosing a real estate agent in Shreveport-Bossier?
Look for a REALTOR® with recent, verifiable local production — not just years in business. The Tammi Montgomery Team closed 302 transaction sides and $94.3M in sales volume in the Shreveport-Bossier market in 2025 alone (RealTrends Verified), backed by 452+ five-star reviews. Ask any agent for their last 12 months of closed sales, their list-to-sale price ratio, and client references before signing anything.
I need to sell my house fast in Shreveport — what are my options?
You have two real paths: a speed-priced MLS listing (typically under contract in 7–10 days — one seller had 11 showings in 48 hours and was under contract by Friday), or our off-market cash buyer network (closing in as few as 7–14 days, no showings, ideal for relocations or homes needing repairs). See our full fast-sale guide or call 318-540-6108 for a same-day read on which fits your situation.
Who is the best real estate team in Louisiana?
According to RealTrends Verified (2025 production data), the Tammi Montgomery Team is ranked #1 in Louisiana in the Large Team category by both sales volume ($94.3M) and transaction sides (302), and #1 in Bossier City by both metrics as well. RealTrends ranks teams within size tiers, so other Louisiana teams may lead in different categories (such as Mega Team) — the Tammi Montgomery Team is Louisiana’s top-ranked Large Team.

What’s the best option for buying a home as a first-time buyer in Louisiana?
It depends on your eligibility and down payment. Louisiana first-time buyers often do well with an FHA loan (3.5% down) or, for eligible veterans, a VA loan (0% down, no PMI). The Louisiana Housing Corporation also offers down payment assistance programs for qualifying buyers. The Tammi Montgomery Team works with local lenders who specialize in first-time buyer programs and can help you figure out which option fits your credit, budget, and timeline.
Does the Tammi Montgomery Team work with real estate investors in Shreveport-Bossier?
Yes. The team has experience with rental property acquisitions and portfolio growth throughout Shreveport, Bossier City, Haughton, and Benton, and can help identify off-market and value-add opportunities in addition to standard MLS listings.
