slidell la real estate for sale: Are My Pictures Copyrighted???
- 12/03/08 04:26 AM
I recently had one of my listings expire. Nothing new these days. The seller re-listed with another agent. This agent is a big producer in my area. She is very aggressive. One of those that calls you five times before you can call her back. By the way call her and you are lucky to hear from her by the end of the day. Back to my blog. I like most agents wanted to see the new listing, price information etc. Everything looked good until I saw the pictures. They were the exact ones I took back in March. How do … (7 comments)
slidell la real estate for sale: Cold Winter Ahead
- 08/24/08 02:28 PM
The Farmers Almanac that has a very high rate of accuracy is predicting a colder than normal winter this year. I just read this on AOL. Only the far West and the Southeast will be near normal. I think we need a good dose of global warming so we don't freeze to death. Better save up some money for those heating bills. … (11 comments)
This is a video my wife took while boat riding in Lake pontchartrain. You can see them jumping out of the water only 50 feet away. They hardly even acknowledged we were there. I have fished this lake since I was very young. I have never seen dolphin in the lake before. They arrived after the hurricane. I guess they were blown into the lake. I just wanted to show you what mother nature can do. … (3 comments)
slidell la real estate for sale: Steak, Chicken or Scorpions.
- 08/14/08 02:50 PM
I have to comment on the diet of our Olympic hosts in the Far East. Have you seen the news reporters eating the scorpions? Can you imagine eating grilled scorpion over grilled beef and chicken? I can't imagine eating this to live. I know it acceptable over there but gee whizz, give me a break. I guess if it moves it can be eaten.

- 08/06/08 10:40 AM
My wife was just discharged from the hospital yesterday. She needed to have three units of blood. This kind of came out of the blue. The local bloodbank is now short three units of blood. Two friends of mine and myself are going to replace this blood. This way it will be available for the next person who needs it. I wish to thank the unselfish donors who gave blood to help my wife. Fellow active rainers please donate blood. I know you are busy and really don't think of these things. You will be glad it is there if you … (6 comments)

Here is a prime example. Just today I was visiting my parents house for lunch. My parents live in Northshore Beach Subdivision in Slidell. This is a waterfront community on lake Pontchartrain. This area was hard hit by Katrina. The home next door has a FEMA trailer on the property. We are almost three years after the storm now. Well just today a man driving an U.S. Government tagged truck showed up next door. He was looking for the trailer occupant. My dad informed him no one had ever stayed in the trailer.

slidell la real estate for sale: Rentals Please
- 07/11/08 12:18 PM
I have received three calls today all about rentals. I am not sure ow they found me but I am going to try and find them something. The payday isn't as good as a sale but it still cashes. Seems the tighter lending guidelines are making more renters than buyers right now. The American dream to own your own home is alive and well. … (6 comments)

- 06/20/08 10:17 AM
Finally sold my listing in Eden Isles LA today after a nine month listing. Perserverence finally paid off I guess. The buyers agent is a big producer in Slidell. I was talking to him about his listings. He told me he had 83 listings. How in the world does one give good service to this many clients. I know I can't. How about you guys? Any way I really didn't see anything special negoitiating with him. … (11 comments)

I hope everyone is having a safe and lovely Memorial Day weekend. I am spending ,time in Lafayette Louisiana. Since my daughter is off to college this Fall, this will be the last one for us. Been doing this about seven years now. I think we will miss it at first. Then we will enjoy the free time. The highest gas I have seen was $3.91, and the lowest was $3.70. The regular unleaded hasn't made it to $4 yet. Everyone needs to take a moment for the veterans and those serving our country right now. We have been able to … (4 comments)

- 05/21/08 05:22 AM
I read two or three blogs with this title yesterday. Well I have three reasons this year alone. On January 20th we closed on a 350,000 home in Clipper Estates in Slidell Louisiana. No big deal right? Well the couple was living in Bolivia South America and found my listing in Eden Isles of Slidell. They originally lived in Metairie Louisiana and were being transferred back to the states. This was truly a case of the world wide web. Second a lady from Indiana found me the same way, an Internet search engine. We listed her brothers home two weeks ago … (7 comments)

slidell la real estate for sale: Louisiana Votes to Cut State Income Taxes
- 05/15/08 02:43 AM
How about that ladies and gentlemen. Louisiana voted yesterday to cut Louisiana citizens income tax starting next year. Something tells me we are the only state cutting taxes right now. Where is this money coming from? Two things for sure. The insurance and Federal money for the damaged homes is showing up in sales tax receipts. Second Louisiana produces a lot of oil and natural gas. You can just guess what higher prices have done to these royalty numbers. Yep the Louisiana treasury is awash in green right now. I am glad they are giving some of it back and not … (3 comments)
Monday night was graduation for my daughter. My wife and I are very proud of her. She graduated salutatorin (2out of 196). I think I was in the bottom two, so we have something in common. I know I am bragging but what the heck. She is the tall one in the middle of the three younger girls exiting the auditorium. Can't believe four years went by already. Next she goes on to the University of Tampa. Where she received a soccer and academic scholarship. She plans … (6 comments)
slidell la real estate for sale: Crazy Business
- 05/09/08 10:00 AM
I wish I could predict things or maybe forecast is a better word to use. January and February were very busy and productive for me. March and April I could have went on a two month trip and no one would have missed me. Today watch out, I need to charge the battery on my phone. My ear is even sore. I might have to come up with an invention for that. I guess this isn't a complaint just wish there was some way to know when it's going to get busy. … (2 comments)
