Hi, I'm Myra!

As a seasoned real estate professional, I understand that buying or selling a home is more than just a transaction: it’s a life-changing experience. That’s why I am dedicated to providing exceptional, personalized service for all of my clients. I take great pride in the relationships I build and always work relentlessly on the client’s behalf to help them achieve their real estate goals. My philosophy is simple: Clients come first. I pledge to be in constant communication with my clients, keeping them fully informed throughout the entire buying or selling process. I believe that if you’re not left with an amazing experience, I haven’t done my job. I don’t measure success through achievements or awards but through the satisfaction of my clients. I would love to hear your real estate goals. Contact me – Myra T. Patureau

    I’m one of seven children, number six to be exact.  My three sisters, two older brothers, my younger brother, Dad, Mom, Grandma and I lived in North Baton Rouge.  Moved there when I was six weeks old.  With ten people in a three-bedroom house, you learn early on that keeping your area neat, doing your chores, being on time and abiding by the rules were key to being a good citizen in the Patureau family.  All of us children graduated from the same high school and had jobs by the time we were sixteen years old. Contributing some funds to the household was never asked for but was surely welcomed.  We went out on our own eventually. Hopefully, to make a positive impact in the world.  I believe we did.  


    I graduated from LSU with a Bachelor of Science and Master of Education degrees and served 41 years in the Diocese of Baton Rouge as a teacher, coach, assistant principal and principal. I was on numerous boards and committees throughout.  I was fortunate enough to be recognized with several awards which I would not have received without the countless, hardworking faculty and staff persons who always made me look good.  In 2011, I decided that it was time for me to go in another direction and was fortunate to begin serving as a REALTOR® for Edie Sotor Realty, LLC in Baton Rouge. What a wonderful opportunity for me to be associated with this Brokerage, especially Edie Sotor its Broker. I have learned and continue to do so from her over 30 years of experience in this very community of Baton Rouge and its surrounding areas.  It is a privilege to help Buyers and Sellers so that they may enjoy the experiences of living their dreams to the fullest. I look forward to sharing ideas with you so that you can do the same!

Why Work With Me?

Did you know:

...that on August 19, 2024, Louisiana Real Estate License Law was amended to require that real estate agents, when working with a prospective home buyer, must have a written Buyer broker Agreement in effect before the Buyer can be shown a home?

...the Buyer's Broker fee may be paid, in part or in full, by the Seller, the Listing Broker and/or the Buyer?


All fees, commissions and/or bonuses are fully negotiable and are not fixed, controlled, recommended or suggested by law or any multiple listing service or association of REALTORS®


FOR MORE INFORMATION, consumers nationwide, including in Louisiana, will receive a class notice if they sold a home that was listed on an MLS anywhere in the United States between February 1, 2020 and February 1, 2024.  Consumers can find relevant information on the settlement website (www.RealEstateCommissionLitigation.com). For additional guidance, call the settlement administrator at (888) 995-0207.


The Louisiana legislature revised the real estate licensing law to require all real estate licensees to have buyer agreements.  HB 366/Act690 is effective August 19, 2024.





Home Buyers AND Sellers need to know how this "new normal" will affect them.
