Scroggs, who opened Lee & Associates Baton Rouge in January of this year, brings 13 years of experience in office and industrial sales and leasing and is an active member of the commercial real estate community.

“We’re extremely excited for Clinton to join Lee & Associates as a principal in the company. Clinton is a talented broker that fits in perfectly with the culture we are building. Having him as a leader in our Lafayette office is going to be a real benefit to the company,” said Scroggs. “We felt incorporating the Lafayette market into our territory was critical to providing service and market expertise to our clients that have an interest in doing business along the Interstate 10 corridor.”

Shepard specializes in site selection for national clients, as well as retail and industrial tenant and landlord representation. A West Monroe native, he began his commercial real estate career in 2015 at NAI Latter & Blum, where he earned their "Rookie of the Year" award in his first year. Shepard is actively involved with the Acadiana Realtors Commercial Alliance and CCIM.

“What drew me to opening the first Lee & Associates office in Louisiana earlier this year was the opportunity for ownership, exceptional value and support provided to brokers, and the extensive network Lee & Associates has across North America,” said Scroggs. Shepard continued with that “together we intend to build a brokerage that provides outstanding value and service to our clients by leveraging the national tools and resources provided by the company. This translates to better value and service to clients and creates a culture of collaboration and partnership within the company."

Polito, a native of Franklin, Louisiana, graduated from the University of Louisiana Lafayette in May 2021 with a B.S. in Finance.
