I have lots of stuff to post about my trip to New Orleans to attend the Prudential Sales Convention. Over the next few days, I will post about some of the content of the convention. For now, I wanted to quickly blog about my cab ride through the 9th Ward.

I am asked quite frequently by consumers where to find information on the Go Zone Act. Below is a brief overview of the program and some information on some properties that I have identified in the Baton Rouge market that qualifies. The Go Zone Act is a great opportunty for investors … (1 comments)
I represent a seller on a property that went under contract on August 24. We were supposed to close last Friday. The buyers' agent asked us for an extention through today, Sepember 27 because she was told by the lender that they were a little behind. My sellers are out of state, … (2 comments)
Absolute accuracy cannot be validated. Figures used are extracted from a variety of reports run through MLS Agent access. List to Close ratios are not disclosed as price reductions are not consistently included in the list to close ratios. While researching my last I was overcome with desire to see what trend … (1 comments)
August 29 will mark the two year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's landfall. Last year, celebrations and remembrances were well publicized. This year, not so much. Maybe in realization of the fact that recovery is still a long, long road.
Katrina Hero Dog. Is that the story or is it really my client? When I was in escrow my client said, "when I get this house I am going to adopt a Hurricaine Katrina dog." Wow. Now that is an incentive. She got that house and she got her dog. I met … (0 comments)
[Note: I originally posted this in the comments of another person's blog where they wrote asking that question. As it was a bit longer than a common comment, it seems appropriate to also blog the thread as well so this is what I have decided to do. The link to the … (3 comments)

Ok so Ernesto didn't quite blow like the media expected or wanted! Lousy for them because it makes for good news! South Florida survived (this time). It's sad though how this insignificant storm overshadowed the 1 year anniversary of Katrina (at least in our market). I'm hopeful that the storm reporting … (12 comments)
I'm sure we'll being hearing about Katrina a lot because of the anniversary. Dateline did a show on it last night. One thing I didn't know was that the media was allowed to stay inside the Superdome, or at least one journalist with a camera crew. They showed 27 minutes of … (2 comments)
