I woke up this morning at 6 a.m. on Thursday in Baton Rouge, LA and to my surprise it was snowing.  In southeast Louisiana snow is something that you don’t see very often, maybe if you are lucky once every 5 years! Dropped the kiddy off at school only to have turn right back around and get her.  See, since we are not use to snow the schools close because Baton Rouge’s roadways can not handle the snow and further more people do not know how to drive in snow. The last time I saw snow was in December 2004 in New Orleans on Christmas day, which was really odd, yes folks, New Orleans had a white Christmas first time in my life that has ever happened.  No surprise that Katrina hit that following summer in August 2005. Southeast Louisiana’s weather is very unpredictable one day it’s snowing and by the weekend it will be in the low 60s.  It’s 8 a.m. and as you can imagine the snow has stopped and is beginning to melt into a wet mess.  I must say that during our little “snow storm” it was absolutely beautiful and for others like me who were not in the Christmas mood this certainly made me feel like a child again, it felt like Christmas time in the city.

BOO! Does the thought of buying a home scare you?

If you are a first time home buyer looking to purchase a home and have no idea where to start; here is some informational tid-bits that may help.
When buying a home you need to make sure that all of your finances are in order. After careful consideration you are going to want to contact a reputable lender and a professional real estate consultant. Getting pre-approved is an important step in finding a home. The approval will let you know what you can reasonably afford, therefore saving you valuable time in finding a home. If you do not know of a good lender your real estate consultant can also give you some recommendations. Once you know what you are pre-approved for your real estate consultant will meet with you and discuss your home buying wants and needs. Then he/she will show you some homes. Once you find the home of your dreams you and your real estate consultant will write up an offer. From there it will be accepted, rejected or countered. Once accepted the contract calls for a deposit which is usually 1% of the purchase price. (In the state of Louisiana it is not an escrow it is a deposit). Your deposit is deposited and held by the listing broker. Inspections will be set up by your real estate consultant. Inspections allow you to know what kind of condition the home is in. After inspections, follows the appraisal. From there it is off to the closing table. Closing can take a month up to three months depending if you are buying new construction or not.
When buying a home there is no one more skilled than real estate consultants. They do all of the leg work. They know market values and ensure that you are getting the best deal; they work for you and their services are free of charge! Along, with getting you the best deal they handle all the paperwork, appointments, negotiations, work with the title attorney, they will work with your bank to get all the information you need to close. When looking for easy, care free, real estate transactions call me Jennifer Dazet Baton Rouge Real Estate Expert.

HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Hurricane Gustav

With Hurricane Gustav brewing I pray that it does not hit
the U.S. I have witnessed mother
nature’s fury with Hurricane Katrina I don’t think the U.S. or further more the
New Orleans metro area could sustain another major hurricane hitting them. The levies have been patched which means they
are not fully functional and I still have many family members who still live in
the area and I would hate to see them possibly lose everything like we did for
Katrina. I pray that everyone has an
evacuation plan and if New Orleans is the target for Gustav that all its
residents pack up and leave.

Louisiana residents are reminded to visit www.GetAGameplan.org - a website for
residents to use to prepare their homes and their families for a hurricane. The
Get a Game plan website contains information and tools needed to prepare for a
possible hurricane.

Live in the Gulf States and thinking of purchasing a home in the next couple of days? Better move fast! During hurricane season insurance companies take great measures to protect themselves against a potential loss when it comes to hurricane insurance claims. When a storm enters the Gulf of Mexico insurance companies can no longer write policies until the storm either passes or it moves out of the Gulf. Being a Realtor in the Baton Rouge Real Estate Market I have learned that a home can not close when a hurricane enters the Gulf. If your can not get insurance mortgage companies can not provide the funds/monies to close. Many buyers get angry however; we don’t make the rules we just abide by them.

So with Sunday soon approaching and insurance companies scrambling better get your insurance locked in before Thursday. As always, when storms enter the Gulf make sure to be prepared, fill all cars up with gas, gather all necessary food and supplies and most importantly if you live in low lying areas please evacuate. In the event you do evacuate ensure that you take with you all valuables (pictures, jewelry, art work, money) and never forget your important paperwork such as: social security cards, birth certificates, insurance papers, mortgage papers, and any paper that you may need. Remember it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
