Attachments, Announcements, and Travels:

I was at LSU game with brother in law Lon Wilson and his two sons Lon and Brent. Saw good group of people from Central La. Ran into Kyle Wolfe State Farm agent from Bunkie and gentleman he was sitting with told me after our introduction that he listens to show each week. I was  a little late leaving the game we were blocked by LSU team bus and they were slow in leaving someone had painted 50 yard line in front of the bus.

Sunday, we traveled to Wildwood lodge at Toledo to make facility inspection for Bruyninckx. Randy Ziegler manager and owner told us lake was down 12’ and this week there is public meeting at Cypress Inn on Thursday 12^th at 6pm.

Announcement Public meeting regard selling water to Texas from Toledo Bend Cypress Bend resorts January 12^th at 6pm

Note Alvin Mykoff absorption report, more about that as we move through the show.

People not properties:

Jimmy Deramus as the star of “Cajun Pawn Star” was a hit in my living room. I plan to watch every episode this is non fiction by design but very entertaining. Jimmy and his support crew really do have a good presence on TV. Remember 9 pm Sunday evening on the History channel, fun to watch and you have to be happy for Deramus family.

Every Deal has a tale / tail

Succn of James L DeKeyzer to Peter C DeKeyzer - Part of Lots 2 & 2, Brown Partition of Big Bayou, et al, $1,030,000.00

St. James Episcopal Housing Development Corp. to Antigua Investments, LLC - Lots 1-12, Blk 4, Weil Co. Subd., et al, $765,000.00

Number of License not renewing: This will give the best indication of what actual carnage was in our industry for 2011. Two sources one is local MLS how many of our 300 agents did not renew. Right now 50 have not paid MLS dues that represents 17% drop in our local membership. I predict the final number will be closer to 12%. Next Wednesday I will attend La. Real Estate Commission meeting and we should have early tally on how many licensed agents did not renew.
