About Alyce Cartier

A Northshore local who knows homes from the inside out.

Three decades in Mandeville, two decades investing in real estate, and a genuine love for helping people make their next move with confidence.

My story

I’m Alyce Cartier, a Realtor® with Barden Realty, and Mandeville has been home for more than 30 years. My family’s life happened here — I raised my family on the Northshore, and between my own roots and my husband’s, we’ve lived across many of the neighborhoods I now help clients buy and sell in.

Long before I was licensed, I spent 20+ years as a hands-on real estate investor — buying, renovating, staging, and even building new construction. That’s not a line on a résumé; it’s years of walking properties, managing renovations, and learning firsthand what adds value and what quietly drains it. It’s the experience I lean on most when I’m helping a client today.

What makes my approach different

I bring a contractor’s eye and an investor’s instincts to every home:

✓  I can tell a cosmetic fix from an expensive structural problem
✓  I know which updates raise a sale price and which don’t
✓  I understand staging because I’ve done it, not just talked about it
✓  With a contractor in the family, I can speak to what work really takes

Rooted in Mandeville

My husband grew up along the Highway 1088 corridor before most of today’s subdivisions existed — in Hidden Pines, Trailwood, and Magnolia Ridge — while I’ve lived in Pineland Park, Beau Chêne, and Meadowbrook. Married, we’ve made our home in Meadowbrook and Greenleaves, renovated homes in Beau Chêne and Fontainebleau, and built new construction in Meadowbrook. When I talk about these neighborhoods, it’s from real life — not a listing sheet.

How I work with clients

Buying or selling a home is a big, often emotional decision. My job is to make it clearer and calmer — to give you honest answers, patient guidance, and the local insight to decide with confidence. No pressure, no rushing, and no pretending a home is something it isn’t. Just straight talk from someone who’s been on every side of a real estate transaction.

Let’s talk about your next move.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or just exploring, I’d be glad to help.
