A Plantation Ownership Changes: Enjoy this story from a recent newsletter. To see more images & news, click this link.  I have a passion for saving historic homes, and with more calls than ever to list or to represent buyers, I am excited for what the future holds!  Uniquely Qualified to Assist You Over decades, I've developed an extensive knowledge of Louisiana and Mississippi historic homes. I've studied historic architecture, delved deeply into the history of these homes, and know many owners!
 Thus, I have cultivated a network of historic home owners and interested buyers. I'm also knowledgable of top restorers who share my passion to preserve: these are top architects, landscape architects, designers, skilled craftspersons... Historic homes are better built than new construction, often priced fairly, and offer a magic that just can't be replicated. About this incredible home pictured, you may be wondering....I'm also thrilled to announce a recent plantation ownership change!  BAGATELLE PLANTATION | SUNSHINE LA | Circa 1841 Off-Market Property Gains New Owner Committed to Care My broker Tracy Talbot and I successfully represented both the buyer and seller.  Knowledge & Timing are Everything! Bagatelle Plantation's sale happened because I seized upon the opportunity to connect a buyer client with a seller client. I have known the owners for many years and they couldn't have been more conscientious to the lush garden's upkeep, developed by known landscape designer Steele Burden, and to the care of this fine neoclassical family home.
And My Client? How could he possibly resist Bagatelle's charms?  Please be in touch. I would be delighted to assist you!

This Income Producing B & B Sits in a Grove of Ancient Oaks Facing Bayou Teche, Franklin, LA CLICK HERE TO SEE MORE A realtor friend, Michael Zarou, shared this popular article with me and it resonated! Coupled with my experience, my historic property focus helps me to offer the highest level of service. I hope you also find this article helpful.
You're selling your home to recoup your investment and fund your financial goals-- to lose money during the sale is an unthinkable possibility that unfortunately befalls many sellers. Even if they successfully sell their home for an amount higher than they originally paid for the property, there are still many ways in which the seller can miss out on thousands of dollars. The following are a few surefire ways you can instantly lose money when selling your home.
 Dear Peter, I haven't heard from the Clinton resident who talked to you about representation. She is welcome to call me to discuss the advantages of choosing Peter Patout as her listing agent. An agent who specializes in houses of all types in a region will not be as effective in selling a historic home as a firm that specializes in historic homes.  "An agent who specializes in houses of all types in a region will not be as effective in selling a historic home as a firm that specializes in historic homes." When my father decided to put Hubbs House on the market my husband, Hal, & I recommended to him that he list the property with you. Though Hal has been a broker for over 2 decades, and I have been a licensed agent for about 15 years, our brokerage does not have the "historic home" specialty that you have cultivated in your shop. We knew that your clientele is rich with people interested in the preservation of historic homes and it was no surprise at all that the offer we accepted came from a client of an agent within your brokerage. That is just evidence of the pack you run with!  We were so pleased with the care you gave Hubbs House on your website. You spent time with my dad collecting information about the historical nature of the property. Dad told you the history and gave you old family photos that you used to build the Hubbs House page of your website. Mom and Dad were so pleased to see it all in print on the web. All the details we thought were important to the charm of Hubbs House are included in your writeup and our family photos of the house became part of the story you tell to prospective buyers. The website is first class and I believe that our buyer used that resource in making the decision to place an offer.  "We anticipated that it might take 2 years to sell Hubbs House to the right buyer. We are all so happy to have had an acceptable offer within about 8 months." We could have sold the property (with no value for the house) to a neighbor who thought it best to bulldoze the historic home and build several new homes on the property, but we wanted better for Hubbs House. We could not be more pleased with our choice to list Hubbs House with Peter Patout! Thank you, Peter, for the good work you do. Your passion for this type of listing is unique in our industry and you play a much needed roll in the preservation of Louisiana's fragile historic architectural fabric. Best regards, L.N.F. A licensed Louisiana real estate broker  Sara & Paul Costello experience Maison Chenal Just this weekend, writer & interior decorator Sara Ruffin Costello and her husband and photographer Paul Costello visited my Maison Chenal listing.
