Mary Hannen: Thank you. Very nice to be here.

Interviewer: Tell me a little bit about your office, where are you located?

Mary Hannen: I am located at the Lafayette office on Public Road across the street from a great Mexican restaurant. I have been there for about 11 years. We have about 12-15 agents, it's a hard working group.

Interviewer: Okay and how long have you been with Metro Brokers?

Mary Hannen: Ive been with Brokers; Ive been with Metro Brokers since 1999.

Interviewer: Sure okay and do you find it to be a pretty good market right now up in Lafayette?

Mary Hannen: Things have slowed down a bit specifically after the tax incentive ended April 30th. We still are a relatively healthy market, Lafayette is a beautiful town, we find that many people are attracted to our quality of life. Yes, we do have interest although it has been a little slower than we like it to be.

Interviewer: Sure, but we know this is the time of the year when it starts to fall off a little bit...

Mary Hannen: Absolutely.

Interviewer: ...it picks up again after the, may be even after elections, who knows.

Mary Hannen: We hope so, we hope so.

Interviewer: What do you think has been very challenging this year up in Lafayette?

Mary Hannen: Buyers are having lender issues. Regulations are toughening up for buyers and sellers, both. That seems to be the main stopping block right now.

Interviewer: Now do you specialize in any specific area, do you do bank downs, do you do first time buyers, you do all of it?

Mary Hannen: I do all of it, I seem to gravitate towards first time buyers. I have children of my own and I seem to get much satisfaction out of finding just the right home for a young couple.

Interviewer: It is fun. First time home buyers, they seem like just people who just dont really have a clue what they are doing, you're taking them through every step right?

Mary Hannen: Yes, its very rewarding and when we find that perfect spot, it just warms my heart.

Interviewer: And do you have any certifications?

Mary Hannen: I have my GRI. I got that about three years ago.

Interviewer: And, thats a pretty intensive course, there are a lot of things that you learn and what inspired you to do something like that?

Mary Hannen: I wanted to have more well rounded knowledge; I wanted to be, to have more information available for buyers and sellers.

Interviewer: Right. Mary why dont you go ahead and tell our viewers now how they can get a hold of you?
