How did you get your start in real estate? I’ve had a passion for homes, property, and design aspects long before I knew it could be a career option. A chance meeting & short conversation with a fellow agent peaked my interest into researching just what steps it would take to become a licensed Louisiana Real Estate Agent. And as they say ” the rest is history”, I’ve been completely in love with every aspect of this career path!
What would you say to millennials who consider this an “easy” profession to get into? I would tell anyone who considers being a Realtor as an “Easy” profession to do your homework! There are so many aspects that go into making this career successful. Knowledge is key in this business! You have to be prepared for the schooling, needed connections in order to make this a successful career, stepping out of your comfort zone, picking the right company to work under, having experienced agents in your corner to help mentor you, and truly having your clients best interest at heart. There are so many moving parts to learn in this business, but it is so rewarding and worth the effort!
What is your favorite thing about your job?
My favorite part of being a Realtor is by far my clients! I have met so many different people, from all walks of life. It has been such a pleasure getting to know each and every one of them and their stories. For most people, buying a home is the single largest purchase they will make in their lifetime. It is so rewarding knowing that you are helping make what can be a super stressful time in someone’s life that much easier and enjoyable.

Welcome! I'm Heather ( AKA: Paige) Moody . A Little About me: I was born and raised in a small town in Eunice, Louisiana where I started my first mortgage company in 2005 at the age of 21 years old. Since 2005 I’ve grown to know everything when it comes to the industry, from owning a mortgage company, processing loans, mortgage underwriting rules, to now managing.
Why I’m in the Mortgage Business:
My family has a history of Banking and real estate . I could see at an early age how satisfying the real estate profession was for them, so I started off as a Real Estate agent and quickly realized that the mortgage side was my passion.
I am a mother of 4 very active kids that have been/ are being raised in the Real Estate /mortgage world. I have always said that their first baby blanket was a file folder.
I love to be able to teach that going the extra mile for others is such a blessing to us as well as the other person. Most importantly that no matter what the obstacle is that we must work hard and give it our all in all that we do. Our family lives at a field or a gym for most of the year. Between baseball, cheer, volleyball, football and anything they can possibly sing up for, I have developed little-known disease called Bleacher Butt.
When I am not working ( or should I say.. not behind my desk) or attending an event for one of the kids . I really enjoy bible studies , reading and listening to podcast. My children go to 2 different schools and I am so blessed to be part of two Mom’s in Prayer groups. It is a National Organization that Moms can get together to pray for our children and our school.
As the Southern Mortgage Mom, I help homebuyers and Real Estate Agents make the Mortgage buying process as stress free as possible. I have been called the miracle worker by clients and agents( on occasion) because I have saved some mortgage loans that others have denied . It has nothing to do with miracles , but all to do with knowing how to get a loan approved.
If I am lucky enough that you chose me or my team as your go to lender, I promise that I will be fair, I will be honest and you will feel like family when you sign the final papers and I will keep in touch (till you tell me not to) long after the mortgage loan is closed. Looking forward to working with you when it comes time to buy a home or refinance your current mortgage.
