B
AYOU DESIARD TITLE COMPANY recently held an open house and ribbon cutting to celebrate the opening of its new office at 417 North Third Street in downtown Monroe. Gene Hastings, his son, Cooper, and their staff welcomed many friends, clients and local dignitaries to the celebration. Guests were given tours of the new construction built on a previously vacant lot in the rapidly redeveloping downtown area. In keeping with the area, the office was designed to make it look as if the building had been a fixture of the city for many years. The interior of the building reflects the commitment of the company to modern standards of practice including the protection of a client’s personal information. Featured on many of the walls of the office are works of art focusing on local and Louisiana artists as well as items of sports memorabilia. Bayou DeSiard Title provides closing
services in connection with all types of real estate transactions. It handles transactions involving residential and commercial properties including sales, mortgages, refinances, donations, servitudes and lease/ purchases. The company provides escrow services and writes title insurance for national title insurers. Bayou DeSiard Title is approved to handle matters on behalf of almost every banker, mortgage broker and realty office in Northeast Louisiana. Our list of clients includes buyers, sellers, landlords, developers and real estate investors. Gene formed the company in 1997 with one full time staff member and the first office was in a converted residence located on Bres Avenue in Monroe. The company adopted a slogan of “closing loans at the lowest possible cost to you” and a determination to provide professional title services while maintaining a personal relationship with its clients. Due to
its continued growth the company relocated to Walnut Street in 2003 and now to its current location. Cooper joined his father as a practicing attorney in the fall of 2018 and they are supported by a team of seven full-time employees. The support staff averages over twenty years of experience in the loan closing business. Please give Gene, Cooper and their staff the opportunity to assist you the next time you need legal services in connection with any real estate transaction.

The building was a project of Bing Bishop Construction under the supervision of Justin Bishop. A special thank you to Margaret, Mike, Roy, Emery and Ann for all you did to help make the office and the open house a success.
