About

The Person

Erin Rappelling

My name is Erin Hybart. I live in Louisiana with my 3 children and two dogs. I have always lived in South Louisiana and have a bit of an accent.

I like to get dirty and work hard. I enjoy hanging out with friends and laughing. There is always room for good food, and I have a healthy appreciation for it!

I enjoy an ice-cold cup of water, salad, veggies, LaCroix, and coffee! I like hiking and exploring the wonders God has created for us.

My Dad so affectionately called me “Sherman Tank” because it is impossible to stop me when I put my blinders on and focus on a goal.

I went to college and earned a Master’s Degree in Counseling. That degree helped me understand and empathize with people on a much deeper level.

I worked in the Social Services industry for 20+ years. It has truly humbled me, and I know my hard work and kindness have impacted many lives.

The Real ESTATE AGENT

Realtor

Since becoming a licensed real estate agent in 2017, I’ve worked with buyers, sellers, and investors to make the real estate process clear and stress-free. My expertise lies in home flipping, home design consulting, and investment strategy, always focusing on maximizing returns and long-term value.

Tiny House Real Estate Agent

I am actively working toward becoming a leading Tiny Home Real Estate Agent by pushing for legislative changes that make tiny homes and ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) more accessible.

This includes advocating for “Tiny House” to be a category on the MLS, making it easier for homeowners, investors, and buyers to explore alternative housing solutions for affordability, downsizing, and investment opportunities.

COMMITMENT TO AFFORDABLE & ALTERNATIVE HOUSING

In addition to traditional real estate, I am passionate about tiny homes and ADUs as a solution for affordable housing, multi-generational living, and investment potential. I believe that sustainable, flexible housing is the future, and I work to expand access to these options.

  • Founder of ADU & Tiny Home Connection, a platform designed to educate and inspire people about small-space living.
  • Content creator, producing written and video content about tiny homes, ADUs, and maximizing small spaces through my website and YouTube channel.
  • Advocate and community leader, serving on the Tiny House Committee of Baton Rouge, which is focused on developing tiny home communities for the homeless.

MY APPROACH

Real estate should be both strategic and personal. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, I focus on delivering top-tier service, clear communication, and a smooth experience.

I work closely with assistants, vendors, and agent partners to ensure that every transaction is well-managed, even while balancing my dual career.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT & BEYOND REAL ESTATE

I also stay deeply involved in the community beyond real estate. I serve on the Alcohol Beverage Control Board in Zachary, LA, and manage the Live in Zachary Facebook Group, which connects and supports local businesses and residents.

Additionally, I founded WW Property Partners, LLC, which provides passive investment opportunities in real estate for those looking for hands-off, high-return projects.

I’ve been passionate about home design since childhood—I started drawing houses as a pre-teen and flipped my first house at 20.

CORE VALUES

I strongly believe in honesty, communication, hard work, and kindness. I take pride in mentoring others, sharing knowledge, and guiding clients through one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives.

MY THOUGHTS ON DUAL AGENCY

While dual agency is legal in Louisiana, I rarely practice it because I believe in 100% client advocacy. If a buyer approaches me about one of my listings, I refer them to a trusted agent partner to ensure both sides receive unbiased representation.

LET’S WORK TOGETHER

The Flipper

Quite a nerd too

Flipping is in my blood. I work with investors to find, flip, and resell properties.

My passion for house flipping started long ago when I flipped my first house at 20 years old. I then went on to flip another house on my own, doing some of the work myself, and suddenly realized it was a challenge.

Despite the long days, dirt, sweat, and tears, I love watching a house become a masterpiece.

I now have built a book of investors to assist them in finding, flipping, and reselling properties.

I have built a network of contacts to find opportunities and quickly assess the renovation costs and a team to complete the work.

The Real Estate Enthusiast

Cheese head

My passion for real estate is a way to appreciate what God has built.

My real estate passion started as a child and has only grown to what most would claim is an obsession. I don’t deny it.

My ever-growing list of interests in the real estate niche includes:

  • buying and selling residential real estate
  • house flipping
  • house renovations
  • helping others obtain a real estate license
  • real estate investing
  • alternative, affordable, and innovative housing solutions
  • cool products for the home
  • power tools for those DIY projects
  • exploring the architecture around the world
  • drafting and designing houses (mostly for fun)
  • exploring tools to maximize time and customer experience in my real estate businesses

The Alternative Housing Advocate

I have fun dressing up

My interest in alternative, affordable, and innovative housing is ingrained in me.

I have long appreciated small spaces and having more life than a house.

The more I learned about different housing options, the more I became intrigued.

I have grown to appreciate things like ADUs, Tiny Homes, Barnodominiums, Skoolies, 3-D printed houses, and other out-of-the-box living spaces.

I am also part of a committee in my local area with a mission to develop a tiny house community for those formally homeless.

We have worked since 2019 to obtain funding and the land to make the dream a reality.

Our group has visited tiny house communities and built relationships with housing advocates across the US.

The Lifetime learner

I love LaCroix

As a lifetime learner, I believe in constantly seeking knowledge and personal growth.

Life is always changing, so I prioritize learning and developing my skills.

I try to stay open to change, listen to feedback, and invest time proactively into building my expertise rather than resisting new ideas.

I focus my education on topics that will help me improve my relationships and service to others.

I aim to embrace a growth mindset, pursue continuous improvement every day, and take responsibility for regularly upgrading my knowledge throughout my life.

I want to stay sharp by eagerly evolving with the world around me.

This enthusiasm toward lifelong learning allows me to provide value to others.
