The Tepper Group Partners With a Trusted Mortgage Expert for Louisiana Homebuyers

By Gregg Tepper

I have been married to my wonderful wife Letha for 29 years. We have 3 children: Max, Alexander and Charlotte. I have been a licensed Realtor in the New Orleans area for 19 years and am the Operator of The Tepper Group with Keller Williams Realty in Mandeville. Our team services the entire New Orleans and Baton Rouge metro areas. Our team of partners has well over 40 years of experience. In 2024 we helped 132 families buy, sell and lease homes, land and commercial investments.

Buying a home should be exciting, but for many people, the process feels confusing and overwhelming—especially when it comes to financing. You want someone you can trust. Someone who knows the local market. Someone who can make the loan process simple and stress-free. That’s why we’re so excited to announce our huge news today.

We’ve partnered with Cory Hoag, a trusted local mortgage lender from Envoy Mortgage. Cory has been in the mortgage business for over 10 years and brings the experience and care that our clients deserve. He’s also a combat veteran who is passionate about helping other veterans take advantage of their VA loan benefits. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, investor, or looking to refinance, Cory is ready to help you find the best loan for your situation.

Why this partnership matters. For the past two years, we’ve referred business to Envoy Mortgage, but we were missing one key piece—a local presence. Now, with Cory on board, we have someone right here in southeast Louisiana who can meet with clients, answer questions in person, and provide hands-on support that makes a big difference.

This partnership means more convenience and better service for you. Cory runs his own mortgage business, and we continue to run ours, but we’re working side-by-side to make the real estate process smoother for everyone we serve.

One team supporting your goals. When you work with us, you’re not just getting a real estate agent; you’re gaining a full team dedicated to helping you through every step of the journey. From home searches and inspections to financing and beyond, we’re here to make things easier.

We also understand that relationships matter. If you already have a lender you love or an agent you’ve worked with before, that’s okay. We’re not here to replace anyone. We’re here to offer support, guidance, and options that make your life easier.

Buying a home is just the beginning. We’re also here to help you when it’s time to refinance. As rates change and opportunities come up to lower your monthly payment, our team will be reaching out to help you take advantage of those moments. We believe in building long-term relationships and helping you turn your home into long-term wealth for you and your family.

If you’re planning to buy, sell, refinance, or just want to learn more about how this partnership can help you, we’re ready to talk. Give us a call at (985) 789-8717, or send us an email at TGroup@kw.com. I’d love to help!
