These new townhomes in South Lake Charles offer many upgrades! In the popular Providence Subdivision, these townhomes feature Granite Countertops, Crown Molding, and an open floor plan.

The lot is landscaped and offers concrete stamped sidewalks and more!!!!

Be smart! Buy early so you can choose colors, flooring and other amenities.

For more information on these Providence Townhomes or any listing in the MLS, contact Tony Cornner, agent and associate broker with CENTURY 21 Mike D. Bono & Co.

Most of my colleagues accept the fact that, for the most part, I'm a stay-in-the-office-broker. I receive the mass mails for agent open houses, but generally only attend those in the Shell Beach Drive and/or Charpentier or Margaret Place areas.

But, when Tony Cornner left me a personal voice mail with an invitation to three open houses yesterday, I knew I would travel to The Providence Subdivision in South Lake Charles.

In his voice mail, Tony enthusiastically described that each house was being staged by a different furniture company and were show-ready. Sadly, staging is not the "norm" in our area, so I wanted to see and support his efforts and the results of furnishings by 505 Imports, Household Furniture, and Howell Furniture.

Tony did everything right. Served a great Casa Manana, lunch complete with deserts, had plenty of help, marketed via personal invitation, e-mails, signage, and news coverage. The amount of work and coordination to make this happen reminds me of the Lucille Ball quote that goes something like, "If you want something done, ask a busy person."

Kudos to all! The staging was beautiful and I was quite impressed to see artwork by local talent Vicki Singletary.

This issue of Jambalya Magazine provides details and photos of the staging efforts as well as several quotes by Tony.

I arrived early and was as impressed with the initial turnout as I was with the office support exhibited by Tony's fellow CENTURY 21, Mike D. Bono agents. In fact, one of the first people I noticed was fellow broker Mike Bono. As a member of the Louisiana Real Estate Commission, I suspect Mike is quite busy, but not to busy to take time to personally visit each of the Providence open houses.

I enjoyed meeting some new agents and visiting with several agents that I've known for more years than any of us care to admit.

Members of the public can experience what the real estate community public enjoyed yestereday as all three homes will be open this Sunday from 1-3:00.

Providence Subdivision in South Lake Charles, LA

I attended Agent Open Houses today in Providence Subdivision. Providence consists of a total of 50 acres that is still being developed. This is a new restricted subdivision in South Lake Charles developed by the team of Heard Development and Canal Place Land Development (Larry and Jennifer Toups). Century 21 Mike D Bono & Co.'s is the exclusive Broker for this Subdivision.

Its hard to give a new construction home personality. No one has lived in the home yet so when buyers are viewing new construction the homes can appear "cold" and boring. However, if you paint the picture of possibilities of a home for a buyer to envision they get a feeling of what living in the home could be like for them and their family.

Much has been written about home staging and there are several Active Rain members who are home stagers that would agree with me and state their case in favor of staging.

Take a look at the before and after of this Providence home listed at 1545 L'Acadie and draw your own conclusion!

This home was staged by 505 Imports here in Lake Charles
