I was doing property rounds at Avondale, the CAL community just off North HWY 15, Biloxi. I stopped by one of the homes that an owner staged. Original Photo by Suzi Gravenstuk (Ignore the bounce house, that was for an open house.) So, I'm getting things out of my car and leave the trunk open. Kicked off my shoes to walk barefoot in the grass around to the back door to put a Supra lock on. I forgot my gadget and walked back around front.

There I met 2 of Harrison County's finest. They thought it odd that a car was parked in the driveway with the driver door open and the trunk lid up. They didn't say a word about my bare feet.

I smiled and told them "REALTOR at work." I laughed when I heard them calling in my car as REALTOR at work. ...OK maybe I have a weak funny bone. Anyway, they didn't leave immediately. So, I told them "Thank YOU" on behalf of CAL, the Owners, and the residents for looking out after us and keeping our communities safe."

They still did not leave. So, I told them my recent story about pursuing my hit and run driver. They still did not leave.

Finally one of them asked me how much one of "these" units rented for... Finally, finally--I asked the right question--hit me over the head next time; "Would you like to see inside." "Yes, with a grin."

Come to find out one of the gentlemen will be getting married soon and will start out renting. He left with my card. I locked up, went back to my car, put my shoes on and headed for Westbury in South Gulfport.

Westbury, CAL's newest community courtesy of investors, is conveniently (of course) located just off 5th at Cowan. Westbury is tucked away in  residential neighborhood--so you won't find it by accident. However, if you are looking for a brand new townhome or flat near Beach Boulevard and Cowan; you know the drill:-) 228-222-3183 .

Original Photo by Suzi Gravenstuk Several interesting design concepts here. The two end units are 3 bedroom, 2 bath while the middle units are 2 bedroom/2 bath. This could be a solution for extended families that REALLY need to be near each other, or friends. The thing is--to make the Friends and family concept work--you need to be among the first to lease. Hint...

Yes, I know some folks out there in cyber space are thinking where are the interior photos? I would rather show you myself. But if you insist on interior shots, I will have them soon. Actually, if you are truly interested I can snap shots and email from my Blackberry--except it seems that Blackberry shots leave a lot to be desired.

Communities are a lot more fun and interesting with people; and domestic pets under 20 lbs.

If you will soon be relocating, the CAL Realty Group has enough property and locations to always have a ready vacancy. We try to accomodate your situation. Long term leases are always preferred, but we will consider shorter rentals for example if you are buying a CAL built home, or buying any home, your work is temporary, etc.

Thanks for stopping by. I wonder what tomorrow will bring?

Jane, Good morning to you! He called last evening about 7P. We were "investigating" CAL rentals until a little after 9P. Yes, it gets dark here, too--but flashlights worked fine. They even showed me how to hold a fashlight trooper style. His family will be nesting with CAL until certain things happen that will qualify them for a new CAL built home. I was very surprised to hear from him. I visualized my card going in the nearest trash bin. They are definitely a fun family. However, its a strange feeling driving North and South Biloxi knowing that not 1, but 2 patrol persons are following in an unmarked car. "...hmmm, was that a complete stop?  Was I a little fast in my take off?"

I have those DUH! moments every once in a while.  You did well!  Hope they come back.

They did. Our meeting turned out well for all of us. Win-Win. They shared additional insight with me at lease signing. It was because I was caught in a very down to earth moment that we were together in the office planning for their future CAL built home as well as the current lease. They have already referred some of their co-workers to me.

Are you excited? If you found me, you are most likely thinking of moving to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I remember the excitement, anticipation and concerns about relocating. Therefore, I try to convey "slice of life" moments with photo-blogs and single photo uploads. My area of focus is Harrison County, MS. Distinctively, Gulfport, Biloxi, and Long Beach at this time.
