Walter's assessment is thorough and he is very knowledgeable. He and I have worked together before, determining synthetic stucco on a home… I recommend his services to anyone with water issues in their home.

Young Squirrel One of My Dogs Brought Home.

by Leave a Comment

Here are a few pictures of a baby squirrel one of my dogs found near my home in Folsom. I Googled "raising baby squirrels" first thing and learned a few things, one of them being you have to go back and see if Momma is looking for her Baby. Give her about 2 – 3 hours, if not then comes the fun part of raising. Lucky for me I have a friend whom works for St Tammany Animal Services and so the young one is in good capable hands. He is lightning fast… Hard to get a good pic. 🙂

A nice sized crowd today though it was a smaller than usual foreclosure sale, or maybe there was just an unusual high number of cancellations for the week. Several properties were bid on by Investors, however I believe each one still ended up going back to the banks. I am also attaching the list of cancelled sales.

The Louisiana New Home Warranty Act

by Leave a Comment

Download Louisiana New Home Warranty Act

Attached is a copy of the Act. I include this because discussion of this Act has come up many times when clients and I are viewing new construction homes. This warranty protects the "New Construction" Home Buyer. Please read for your protection.

In short…

  • 1 year – the entire home is covered.
  • 2 years – mechanicals in the home are covered. (electrical, plumbing, HVAC,)
  • 5 years – structural construction of the home is covered.

There is also a "2-10" Home Buyers's Warranty which can be purchased seperately for added protection above the new home warranty act. Basically it is an added insurance policy for the Purchaser, however I will cover this in an additional post.

Thank You
