About Slidell's Lake Village

As my client closed yesterday afternoon on a nice home in one of the best subdivisions in Slidell along with the highest rated school district in Slidell a sudden thought overcame me.

This is a really nice home that the owner had passed and the heirs wanted to sell. We were able to beat them up quite a bit on the final selling price. The home next door was also for sale at a much higher price. My client closed at $71 per square foot and next door was asking $94 a square foot.

This is what I am calling the great Housing Schism! It seems with everybody looking for deals only short sales, foreclosures or bequethed property or moving. A traditional hands on seller unless he wants to move bad enough doesn't have a chance.

My buyers won't even look at anything unless it starts under $ 150. I am sure glad I am not selling my own personal home in this economical climate.

Anyone notice a problem with this water heater?

Looks like one of those do it yourself jobs by the homeowner. Can you believe the inspector missed this? Actually I thought he was a very thorough inspector, but everyone is human. My client and I saw this the very first day we looked at the home. This is something that can be fixed very easily, I guess the owner said heck with it.

This home is located in the Lake Village subdivision in Slidell, Louisiana. My client is going to rent this home after we close on it tomorrow and he fixes a few things including this power cord. I think my client will rent this home fairly easy since it is in one of the blue ribbon school districts in Slidell.

Who says our occupation isn't dangerous. Just yesterday afternoon I was inspecting an attic of a house my client wants to make an offer on in Slidell. By the way the offer was accepted. Me being the klutz I am and not paying attention slipped through the attic opening and broke my little toe on the attic steps. Lucky I didn't break more than this.

So next time someone tells you how easy and undemanding our job is remember my toe. I think by closing it will feel a lot better when I get the commission check in my hand. You know how that goes.

No sympathy it really doesn't hurt very much. I don't think there is much you can do except let it heal on it's own.

UPDATE:
On Monday July 19 I was stung by a wasp. I think I need to find a good disability policy.
