We were in Covington last week with one main focus, find a house. Our realtor was absolutely amazing. The first day we saw eleven houses, went back to the office, made an offer on one. The next morning, we found out the house was incorrectly listed, and was in a bad flood zone (major negative in Louisiana). It was a very quick decision to throw that house out, and we toured another five houses. Fell in love with a new build, went back to the office, ready to make an offer. After looking at the blueprint for the house, we noticed it did not match the house we just toured. Our realtor called the listing realtor, and realized we had toured the wrong house! The house had already sold the previous week (a Chevron employee actually bought the house, so Ryan is going to have to figure out who it is) The house we were supposed to tour was in the same subdivision, but we should have been one street over. We got back into the car, went out to find the house we had the paperwork for, the one we were supposed to tour, and we LOVED it!
It is a new build, not completely finished. Notice the lack of driveway, our first time touring the house was during a Louisiana downpour. I was determined to see this house, the realtor and I left our sandals in the car, walked through the mud to the house, washed our feet off in the rain, then toured the house. Good thing the floors had not been installed yet.
We met the builder later in the week, he is such a nice guy. He built an absolutely beautiful, perfect home. For now, we must wait, we have another five weeks in Russia, then it is off to Louisiana to start our next adventure!
P.S. This is the only type of hunting I foresee myself ever doing.
