Why Hire a Historic Property Specialist...I love my clients!

Hubbs House
is SOLD!




a letter from a client


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!
Picture

​​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. ​
Picture
​

"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.

The parterre gardens and ancient oaks add much to the 18th century French Creole setting. ​ See my listing here!

LOUISIANA IRISES ARE IN BLOOM!
treasures in the wild

A garden is a delight to the eye and solace for the soul.

I took these photos recently at Jean Lafitte

Each year I eagerly await the blooms of these magnificent flowers. 

You might see some in walks about the city, and beyond. 
For next year, I also suggest taking in the Irises at the Botanical Gardens at City Park, and Longue View House and Gardens.

For numerous years, I've been a member of the New Orleans Iris Society and
​I recommend this group to serious gardeners.

CULTURAL PURSUITS - I Recommend: New Iberia Area

2/12/2020

For those taking in the Simien Open House and others venturing to New Iberia, Louisiana ...You are deep in the heart of Bayou Teche Country where I grew up! I offer a few stops to enjoy the day. But first things first - a wonderful Cajun lunch experience.
I RECOMMEND: 
BON CREOLE LUNCH COUNTER
for the best Shrimp Po-Boy ever!

I always make a point of seeking out beautiful trees. Here's William Guion's Evangeline Oak photo. I call your attention to his blog The 100 Oaks Project. 

It's Valentine's Day Weekend and could there be a more enduring symbol of love than the Evangeline Oak immortalized by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic poem about Evangeline and her long lost love Gabriel. It's a beautiful tree. Go see. Just 10 miles from Simien House. 

The Jungle Gardens at Tabasco on Avery Island: Breathtaking blooms throughout the year along with phenomenal bird-watching opportunities.

Shadows on the Teche: Built in 1834 and set amongst moss draped ancient oaks. Take in the well-preserved home and gardens - operated by National Trust for Historic Preservation.
