Latter & Blum is a real estate brokerage based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, operating across the Gulf South. After Robert Merrick purchased the company in 1986, it expanded from the Greater New Orleans area into neighboring markets and pursued a strategy of growth through acquisitions. Over the years, it has absorbed firms such as Noles-Frye Realty (2009), Van Eaton & Romero (2012), and Gardner Realtors (2020), helping build a network of more than 40 real estate companies and about 2,100 agents. The company serves homebuyers and sellers across multiple Gulf South markets, leveraging its locally rooted heritage and expansive agent network to offer residential real estate services. It has pursued notable partnerships and geographic expansion, including a 2022 collaboration with SkySlope to support digital transaction management. The organization has also integrated related services through ongoing partnerships, such as with Hartwig Moss Insurance Agency, reflecting a broader real estate ecosystem beyond core brokerage.
