I Took The Road Less Traveled By...

  There I stood at the proverbial fork in the road. Unlike Mr. Frost, It took me one whole month to commit to a path. In the end, the chance to start a new business from the ground up was too hard to pass up. With the help of my business partner, David Beckham, Bayou Properties Realty is up and running!

 Soooo, why the alligator? After all, why not something cuddly like a bunny rabbit? Like the rest of the nation, real estate transactions in my market have gotten complicated. More often than not, the agent plays the role of protecting the client throughout the transaction. And besides, many of the folks in Central Louisiana EAT cuddly bunny rabbits!

 Though a small office, both David and myself count property investors as a big part of our client base. As such, Bayou Properties Realty already has three flip properties in process! Did I mention the four investment listings we picked up last week?? I'll save those for another blog.

 My goal in this endeavor is to build a company that our MLS board will be proud of. Yes, we will fiercly advocate for our clients (check out the teeth on that gator). But every member of my company will adhere to the highest ethical standard.

 Check out our fan page on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Bayou-Properties-Realty/115757721836145?sk=wall for some cool gator knowledge.

Doug, I think the alligator works perfect; especially for where you live.  I had the opportunity to start my own business 6 years ago and it has been WONDERFUL!

I did not take the Road less Traveled...  I bushwacked my way across the wilderness! (with respect to Robert Frost).

Salute to you Doug, for carving your own Path to Success.    Best wishes to you.

Congratulations and I wish you boys success shall I call the population of Alexandria and Pineville and warn them not to alligator wrestle?
