Special Message from LREC Chairman Paula Duncan

Dear Colleagues:

As we close another year, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the progress and achievements that have defined 2024 for the real estate industry in addition to the opportunities and challenges that await us in 2025.

2024 has been a testament to the resilience and adaptability of our industry. Despite economic fluctuations, regulatory shifts, and evolving market dynamics, the real estate profession has continued to thrive, driven by the unwavering commitment of our dedicated professionals. From new technologies to enhanced customer service practices, our industry has embraced innovation while staying true to the values that have always defined us: trust, integrity, and service.

At the Louisiana Real Estate Commission, we remain focused on ensuring the continued professional growth of our licensees, protecting the interests of consumers, and fostering a regulatory environment that supports a fair and transparent marketplace.  LREC has worked diligently to implement key initiatives aimed at improving licensing, enhancing professional standards, and streamlining processes that help to better serve both practitioners and the public.

I would also like to express my gratitude to all of you —from real estate agents and brokers to our LREC staff and partners. Your hard work and dedication contribute significantly to the success of our industry and the communities we serve.  I am proud of the collective effort and look forward to collaborating even more closely with each of you in the upcoming year.

As we step into 2025, let us carry forward the lessons learned, our relationships built, and a continued spirit of growth. I am confident that with continued professionalism, innovation, and commitment, we will meet all new challenges head-on.

We wish you all a joyous holiday season and a prosperous New Year.

May God bless you and your families in the year ahead.

Warm regards,

Paula Duncan, Chairman

Louisiana Real Estate Commission
