Ted Daigle has made the searching process such a breeze! He is very patient and personable and truly listened to what we wanted and didn’t want. We had so many questions, being first time home buyers, and he answered them with ease. He walked us through the process and we have just made an offer on our first home with his help!

Ted is a down-to-earth and truly caring person that is an expert in his field. As first-time home-buyers, we felt like we took a crash-course with Ted's excellent advice following us as well as guiding us all the way through. Ted is also a very patient man. With all of the multiple things that we learned as we went, occasionally we changed our minds about the size of the yard we'd accept or the age of the house or the number of renovations we were willing to make, and Ted stuck by us as we switched it up multiple times. He provided valuable advice and was always willing to answer my questions and my husband's questions no matter how small or inconsequential. Within a day he would get back with an answer or at the least a contact/resource to help us move forward. He had good ideas for inspectors, costs, issues we might face, and an understanding of just about every neighborhood in the Acadiana area, from resale values to noisiness and traffic issues, and a number of other knowledgeable things that only a person who is committed to his work and has a number of years experience would know. Finally, Ted was honest - and let's face it, in this world that is priceless. So don't even question it: Go with Ted - he works for his living very hard because he works for his clients day and night, with the best intentions, the best resources, and the best attitude one could hope for during the difficult process of buying home. I would definitely use his services again. Team Ted all the way.

If you are looking for someone to take care of your real estate needs in the Lafayette area, Ted Daigle is your man! When we decided to look for a house, we contacted Ted with our wants and needs. He took it from there. Not being from the area, communication was key and Ted never let us down. He was always quick to respond to our questions and concerns. Throughout the entire process, he made sure that all of our issues were addressed and that we were completely satisfied. He found us just the house that we wanted and went above and beyond in handling the sale. We highly recommend Ted and his staff! You will not be disappointed!

My fiancé and I are first time homebuyers and Ted made our home buying experience stress and smooth as possible. We have a two-year-old daughter and she loved him as well. The home buying process can be very stressful and we didn’t feel any of that with Ted as our realtor. Any question we had he made sure he went out his way to give the correct information to us and broke it down for us to understand. He is very sweet and glad we chose him to be our realtor! We couldn’t see our selves dealing with anyone else! Definitely 5 star service!!!!

My husband and I just closed on our dream home thanks to Ted. We were first time home buyers and didn't have a clue as to what was entailed in the home buying process. Ted reached out to me about a house I was looking at online. He agreed to meet up with us and show us the house. This was on a Sunday afternoon. He answered all of my questions and explained the process to me. He sent me written information as well as kept in touch by phone with anything he thought I need to know. He got to know my husband and I to help figure out the type of home we were looking for. He went above and beyond to help us find our dream home. He is definitely a go-getter. We absolutely love our home and we gained a new friend in the process.

When we decided to put our home up for sale, there was no question that Ted Daigle with EXP Realty would be our listing agent. We have known Ted personally for many years and knew he would be the best choice based on his personality, professionalism, and knowledge of the local real estate industry. There was no doubt that Ted with EXP Realty stood out as the best our area has to offer: their organic rankings are excellent (meaning people find listings on his site easily), their social media presence was strong, and I could tell he put a lot of work into his listings.
We spoke with Ted and then met with him at our home. He spent ample answering our questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes they sell, how long their listings typically stay on the market and providing tons of info on comps in the area. Ted made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps many other Realtors don't (but should), like giving us staging tips, having professional photographs taken, and a lot more.
When we saw our listing we were blown away. The drone footage, video, and photography that he incorporated were priceless. His hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off - our listing looked amazing and knocked out the competition. The first potential buyer that saw the property put in an offer.
Our house went under contract 7 days after we put it on the market at 1% under asking price. We accepted and Ted (and his assistant Myka, who was also incredibly knowledgable, friendly, and helpful) walked us through every step of the closing process. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience.
I've recommended Ted with EXP Realty to everyone I know. He's a true professional and just one of those guys that you would love to know. I realize it won't always be this easy to sell your home, but I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a better realtor.L

Ted M. Daigle did an excellent job for us. We saw a home in Ohio we wanted. I called Ted and he went to work. He recommended a cleaning service and personally did extra things in order to get home ready.
He went above his normal responsibility. Priced the home at appraisal value.
Calmed nervous questions, guided us though the process.
He is a credit to his industry.

Ted is everything a realtor should be (and so much more!). First, he makes the whole process extremely smooth and easy. This includes things like paperwork, finding bids, etc., but it also includes how likable of a guy he is, which makes the process more fun. Second, he goes above and beyond his job duties. (After closing, he helped the seller move her flowers/plants out of the yard: he was worried about her getting heat stroke, and he know this would mean the yard would be 100% mine sooner, rather than later [I had given the seller an extension for removing plants/flowers.]
Third and most importantly, he actually has the client’s best interest in mind! Other realtors will prefer a high sales price, even if they are representing the buyer since this increases their commission. By contrast, Ted worked so hard to get me the best deal possible! This meant he made less money, but that doesn’t matter to him, because he truly wants the best for his clients.
Had I chosen a different realtor (or none at all), I would have ended settled for an overpriced, problematic house. Thanks to choosing Ted, I ended up purchasing my dream home and paying less for it than the worse alternatives I would have settled for.

Working with Mr. Daigle was a very good experience. Ted takes his job seriously as well as his clients. Ted is very flexible and understanding in which you will experience while working with him. He is also a personable person and easy to like. Ted also looks out for the best interest of his clients in which I haven’t seen with a lot of other real estate agents I have worked with. I strongly recommend Ted Daigle as a real estate agent if you are buying or selling a home.

This was my 3rd purchase but my very 1st as a single mom. Just as I was giving up, Ted Daigle showed up in armor and dagger.... well, it was actually a pencil, clipboard, and cellphone...and saved the day! This man changed my family’s life and did everything he could to secure my purchase and helped me make the greatest decision of this new chapter! He was the most truthful and honest realtor.... and MAN.. that I’ve ever worked that did not add in his own biases, change my decisions, nor pointed me in the wrong direction. Thank you, Ted!! You’re the best!

Ted is a stand-up guy who is willing to help anyone. Very informative, helpful, and passionate. Definitely not one of those realtors who hunt you down and won’t stop calling you. He’s very nice, patient, resourceful, and punctual when responding to inquiries. Myka is also sweet as pie, resourceful, and has all of the paperwork ready to sign for everything. Really great team, definitely my realtor for life.

Being a first-time homebuyer, there’s not much I knew going into the process besides for the countless hours spent on Zillow. Ted was an expert when it came to bringing all the dreams to real life. He took the time to walk through the process with me over the phone and made sure that I understood everything that was happening. A text or call was always answered. Trustworthy, dependable, and knowledgeable. I’d highly recommend working with Ted. The team he has is amazing as well!
