Message from the CEO (April 2017)
LOUISIANA REALTORS • April 3, 2017
Throughout March, Louisiana REALTORS® conducted legislative outreaches attended by hundreds of REALTOR® members. Attendees heard from their local legislators and discussed key issues being debated at the federal and state level. As the 2017 Louisiana Legislative Session kicks off on April 10, LR is calling for an industry wide effort to oppose any taxes that will impact small businesses and the real estate industry. REALTOR® members should communicate with their local legislators and engage in the process.

By: Eric Landry, Breazeale Sachse & Wilson, L.L.P. Louisiana REALTORS® Legal Counsel Below are highlights of the changes to mandatory forms effective January 1, 2026. Louisiana Residential Agreement to Buy or Sell: Specific Changes Overall, several changes were made to re-order the agreement in an effort to have the agreement more closely track the sequence of events in a typical transaction. This resulted in relocation of several sections and corresponding changes to line number references in various places throughout the agreement.
