BATON ROUGE AREA SCHOOL INFORMATION. To know exactly what public school a student would go to in East Baton Rouge parish, an exact address must be referenced, as schools are not determined by subdivisions or neighborhoods. For the surrounding parishes as well, it is best to check with each parish school board for information about where a student would attend. You may go to the top of this page, click on Local Info, then About My Town, and go to the Link at the bottom of the page for Louisiana Department of Education. FOR YOUR REFERENCE: The school boards are divided by parishes, and those that coincide with the local Multiple Listing Service are the Parishes of:
East Baton Rouge
City of Zachary (though in East Baton Rouge Parish, they are an independent school board area)
West Baton Rouge

Agency >Who Pays the Commission
Does it cost the homebuyer more to be represented by a buyer's agent who serves their interests exclusively? No, because the listing agent splits the sales commission, which is customarily paid by the seller of the home, with the buyer's agent. The sales commission split is usually 50-50, but the listing agent and buyer's agent will sometimes make another agreement and split the commission unequally.
There is one very unusual circumstance in which the homebuyer might pay a commission to their buyer's agent. The real estate agent might show the buyer a local "for sale by owner" (FSBO) home which the client decides to purchase. In most cases, the FSBO seller who is presented with a qualified buyer is glad to pay the buyer's agent a reduced fee of about 3 percent, or half of a normal sales commission. But the FSBO seller could stubbornly refuse to pay the buyer's agent any commission whatsoever. In that case, the buyer's agent would legitimately expect the buyer to pay the sales commission, in fair exchange for the agent finding the FSBO home and negotiating a successful transaction.
