As career real estate professionals we counsel our clients on the importance of protecting one of their most
important investments. We advise them on the essentials of protecting their home and belongings with comprehensive home insurance coverage (HOI). We remind them of the need to insure the items they've worked so hard for.
However, if you're an Abbeville, Lafayette or Acadiana area husband, fiance' or groom-to-be, you may want to consider another form of asset protection, Wife Insurance. Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm and on Saturday from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, Melancon Jewelers offers their own custom 'policies' at their retail store located at 2423 Veterans Memorial Drive in Abbeville, Louisiana. Many satisfied customers will agree, this could be one of the best forms of asset protection a fella can purchase for his bride, fiance' or sweetheart. (NOTE: Ladies, Melancon Jewelers is also known as the Hardware Store For Women).
Mr. Richard Melancon and his wife, LaNell, have been designing jewelry together for 20 years. Together they have won more custom jewelry design awards than any other jeweler in the state of Louisiana claiming over 30 state and national jewelry design competitions and taking 1st place at the inaugural SJTA Torch Awards. They have also been voted "Jeweler of the Year" 3 times by the Louisiana Jewelers Association, and the public has voted them “The Best Jewelry Store” on 4 separate occasions.
In true Cajun spirit and tradition, Richard and LaNell have also personally dedicated themselves to raising funds and awareness for Breast Cancer study. Called Links Des Pink, the organization has raised more than $35,000 for Breast Cancer research through a number of different fund raisers including a golf tournament, a ladies night out and an event called Pinking the Town.

The 61st Annual Delcambre Shrimp Festival is underway in Delcambre, Louisiana at the
Delcambre Shrimp Festival Grounds, located at 701 W. Main Street, Delcambre, LA 70528. The town of Delcambre, Louisiana is located approximately 20 miles southwest of Lafayette and is home to one of the area's most productive shrimp fleets.
The festival includes many events including a shrimp cook-off, Queen's Pageant, Fais-Do-Do's, Food Booths, Carnival Rides and the Blessing of the Shrimp Boat Fleet. There's plenty of fun for "kids" of all ages and lots to see, hear, and EAT ! No matter how you enjoy these tasty crustaceans cooked, you'll find a variety of culinary delights to please your palette.
As Forrest Gump's friend Bubba proclaimed, "...shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad,..."

In fact, how could I NOT have PMS as a successful Listing Agent? PMS (PROFESSIONAL MARKETING SERVICES) are essential for my clients to achieve a successful sales transaction and enjoy complete satisfaction.
When you're considering the sale of your home in Lafayette, Louisiana or greater Acadiana, contact i List For Less Realty.
Our Agents have PMS!
It's that time of year for those of us living in Lafayette, Louisiana, Acadiana, and along the Gulf Coast. Are you prepared? Being pro-active and having emergency plans in place, or knowing where to turn for information or assistance, can keep you and your family safe.
There are numerous online sites offering advice and tips to prepare for the hurricane season. However, the National Oceaninc and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) offers a list of state and local emergency telephone numbers, media outlets, and evacuation information for Gulf South residents. Their site is a 'one-stop' ready reference to help you prepare for these natural disasters.
The above NOAA Extreme Weather Information Sheets are available by state in a down-loadable .pdf file: Southwest Louisiana & Southeast Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina.
Are you prepared for the 2011 tropical storm season or other natural disaster?
There's no need for your next home purchase or sale to be come a disaster. Count on i List For Less to help you prepare and plan for a successful transaction!
i List For Less, LLC a flat-fee Brokerage, offers a FULL Line of Professional Real Estate Marketing and Sales Services, at an AFFORDABLE price. We service Lafayette, LA and the Greater Acadiana area.
Our world has changed. It is a substantially different place than it was twenty, ten, or even five years ago.
Most industries have evolved their business model to meet rapidly changing technologies, consumer behavior, and new market dynamics. By contrast, the industry of buying and selling real estate has remained relatively static, dominated by large brokerages of independent contractors, and paid a commission based on a property's selling price regardless of local market conditions, housing prices, or the cost or effort required to sell different properties.
With the rise of web-based data, the information advantage once held by the traditional broker over the consumer is rapidly eroding. The real estate industry is undergoing a revolution, not only in how its products and services are marketed and sold, but also in how consumers learn about, shop for, purchase, and repurchase them. We envision real estate should be, more than ever before, about service and individuality, not access. It is our belief the real estate industry should operate in a manner similar to other service professions where the consumer dictates the services they desire or require. In addition, we are of the opinion that all fees directly correlate to the amount and value of the services received, not on some ambiguous figure.
i List For Less Realty, LLC was founded on an approach to realty that emphasizes both transparency and accountability. Our mission is to set the industry standard for quality, providing exceptional service at a reasonable price, calculated in a fair way, for our clients and customers.
We look forward to working with you.
Best regards,
Mike Mayer
Founder & Broker
