homes for sale: Change in Garbage Collection In Jefferson Parish LA. - 11/29/09 01:15 AM
Changes in Garbage Collection In Jefferson Parish LA.
A new policy is taking place in collection of garbage in Jefferson Parish.
Up until now the collection of garbage has been bi-weekly. If your collection falls on a holiday your trash will not be picked up. With this holiday season we will see our garbage collection day be the next regular collection day. In the past your trash would be picked up within two days of the holiday.
Jefferson Parish implemented this policy as a cost saving measure. 
You may bring your trash to the Parish drop sites:

homes for sale: First Time Buyer's Monday Novemeber 30 2009 - 11/17/09 11:15 PM
That is what I am calling Monday November 30th. We have several closing on that day. Several first time home buyers have taken advantage of the Tax Credit. Many have not. My real concern is that the upcoming holiday may throw off someone closing.
If you did not take advantage of this tax saving not to worry a new plan is in place. Not as good in some measure but there is always a BUT. The (but) includes repeat home buyers.
To find out more about of the new tax credit, real estate inventory or about financing; email for information.

homes for sale: Wrong MLS DATA Major Concern - 10/30/09 01:30 AM
Wrong MLS Data

 
In search of Investment properties in Kenner or Condos in Metairie LA verify all information. In order to make the right investment property decision work with an investment property Realtor.
Ok, I believe we all have these types of stories. It could be an honest mistake that anyone could do. My position on this matter is this. If you enter data into the MLS and let's say it benefits the seller don't be offended when the offer comes in base on the facts.
Recently, I was showing one of my investors a property listed in Kenner … (6 comments)

In the past, I have posted on helpful tips a buyer should do to prepare for a closing. I did not think at the time about Agent preparation for closing.  After all I thought it would be common sense. Here is a list of tips that I would do to prepare for a closing if I was a Listing agent:
Tell your Seller the time and place of the closing. Tell the Seller to Bring Keys Mention to the seller utilities transfer or turn off orders.  Bring your file to make sure the closing goes smoothly and to wrap up any lose ends. If … (0 comments)

Highway Park Kenner LA
Spotlight Neighborhood: Highway Park
In the City of Kenner, there lays a quiet, well established neighborhood. The area is Highway Park. This area began developing in the 1960's. How would I know, I grew up there. Many of the street names are named after states. My childhood home was in the 2600 block of Kansas. Many of those original buyers are still living in the area. This area when it comes to real estate sales and listings is not very activate due to the stable environment of Highway Park. Inside Highway Park you can find churches, schools … (1 comments)
