About

The Collective, powered by Real Broker LLC

Founded and led by Marine Corps veteran Michael Carr, The Collective is a Lafayette-based real estate team serving Acadiana with the same discipline, integrity, and service-first mindset Michael carried through his years in the Corps. Ranked as one of the top Small Teams in the area by RealTrends, The Collective helps families and individuals buy, sell, and invest in property throughout Lafayette, Youngsville, Broussard, and the surrounding parishes — always putting relationships before transactions.

From first-time buyers to seasoned investors, The Collective offers full-service residential and commercial real estate guidance: home buying and selling, property investment strategy, and market expertise rooted in real MLS data, not guesswork. Michael leads with the belief that a strong team, built on trust and mentorship, is what makes a lasting difference in the community it serves.

Proud to call Acadiana home. Proud to serve the people who built it.
