Acadiana Real Producers | Summer Soirée

The Acadiana Real Producers Summer Soirée brought together some of the region’s most dedicated real estate professionals for an evening that blended networking, celebration, and genuine community. Hosted by Acadiana Real Producers and led by Publisher Drake Abshire, the event was designed to go far beyond business cards and market stats. It was a chance for producers to connect on a personal level — to build relationships rooted in trust, collaboration, and shared purpose.

Held in partnership with event sponsor Manuel Builders, the Summer Soirée created an atmosphere where industry leaders could unwind, enjoy great company, and strengthen the bonds that make Acadiana’s real estate community so unique.

A Space for Real Conversations

While real estate is often fast‑paced and transactional, this event intentionally slowed things down. Producers had the opportunity to talk about life, family, and the stories behind their success. The evening encouraged meaningful conversations — the kind that remind everyone that behind every closing, every referral, and every milestone is a person with passion and purpose.

Food, Drinks & Good Company

Guests enjoyed a relaxed summer atmosphere complete with delicious food, refreshing drinks, and the kind of hospitality Acadiana is known for. Whether catching up with familiar faces or meeting new ones, the soirée offered the perfect backdrop for authentic connection.

Family, Music & Community Spirit

One of the standout elements of the Summer Soirée was its family‑friendly approach. Producers were encouraged to bring their loved ones, creating a warm, welcoming environment where business and personal life blended naturally. Music filled the space, kids laughed and played, and the evening carried the easygoing joy of a true Louisiana gathering.

Giveaways & Appreciation

Throughout the night, guests enjoyed exciting giveaways — a fun way to celebrate the community and show appreciation for the producers who continue to elevate Acadiana’s real estate industry. These moments added energy and excitement, reminding everyone that the soirée was as much about gratitude as it was about networking.

Celebrating the Heart of Acadiana Real Producers

The Summer Soirée wasn’t just an event; it was a reflection of what Acadiana Real Producers stands for — connection, collaboration, and community. By bringing producers together in a relaxed, family‑centered setting, the evening highlighted the relationships that fuel the industry and the people who make it thrive.

With the support of Manuel Builders and the leadership of Drake Abshire, the event was a beautiful reminder that success in real estate is built not only on hard work, but on the strength of the community behind it.
