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. 
A licensed Louisiana real estate broker

Just this weekend, writer & interior decorator Sara Ruffin Costello and her husband and photographer Paul Costello visited my Maison Chenal listing. It was an exquisite outing as so much was in full bloom.

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

Paul generously agreed to share his photos! You might also enjoy Sara's and Paul's instagram posts as their friends excitedly chimed in desirous of purchasing the estate, with lots of entertaining ideas to celebrate together.

I've received a few property queries since. The tranquil setting inspires!

Bayside Plantation Sets High Sale Price for region

9/11/2019

Bayside Enters New Era!
Picture
New family to own and care for this historic gem. 
Previously in Roane
 family for nearly 90 years
I'm excited to announce that Bayside Plantation has sold. And with this sale, a few important things have happened. 

1) Working with my broker Tracy Talbot, founder of Talbot Historic Properties, we successfully balanced the interests of both the buyer and seller as dual agent for $775,000. 

2) Well-preserved historic homes command higher prices - and by setting a new high market value for the Teche Country region, you can expect that this bodes well for other historic homes and for the strength of that market.

We also believe that historic homes offer the buyer a more satisfying living experience. Bayside has been well-maintained. Built in 1850, the home is on the National Historic Register and sits on 11.8 acres along Bayou Teche. The house is surrounded by a grove of ancient live oaks draped in Spanish moss. Further, many architectural details remain intact.
Picture
3) We are thrilled Bayside Plantation's new owners are throughly committed to the future care of this exceptionally beautiful home and property!

IBERIA PARISH, LA.  From Thursday, November 2 to Sunday, November 5, 2017, the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art - Louisiana Chapter will host its first foray to the exotic Teche Country.  "Sugar and Spice: The Architecture & Art of Bayou Teche, Owen Southwell, and Tabasco's Avery Island" is a premiere event celebrating the classical architecture, history, heritage and art of Iberia Parish, Owen Southwell, Bayou Teche, Avery Island and more.  

As a native of Iberia Parish, where my roots run deep, I am excited to share this classical world of architecture and art of my beloved Bayou Teche country. Our foray participants will soon succumb to the exotic eden of café au lait-colored bayous, sugar cane fields and live oaks draped in festoons of Spanish moss. This foray is
an exposé to our national audience; one that will showcase the classical featurettes of our heritage in a scale never been seen in this area.


Highlights of this once-in-a-lifetime Iberia Parish event are:
  • Four lectures by four of the finest experts of Teche Country's architecture, history and art.
  • Two luxurious dinners at private antebellum plantation houses on the banks of the Bayou Teche: Bayside Plantation and Shadows-on-the-Teche.
  • Three lunches, including one among the sugar cane fields on an antebellum plantation estate.  
  • Private house tours, including Iberia Parish architect Owen J. Southwell.
  • Private Avery Island home tours.
  • Bus transportation around the foray.
  • AIA CEU (pending to early October).

Check your air conditioning unit every summer for efficiency to beat the heat.  There are State and Federal financial incentives such as renewable energy tax credits, special loans, and net metering if your system needs updating. Here are some helpful programs:

- Tax Credit for Solar and Wind
- Home Energy Loan Program “HELP”
- Louisiana Net Metering


Picture
Hiring a historic window specialist to glaze windows and secure their surround will help to sustain their longevity and efficiency. 

- Don’t remove original windows, just repair existing ones!


Picture
Your house will expand or swell in the summer, just like everything else in the South.  Harsh weather conditions will take effect, so make sure you plan according to make repairs to the masonry, brick, wood, or any other façade material after the peak of summer. 

- Do any repair work toward the fall months after the severity of expansion has subsided. 
- Spend summer months researching historic building specialists in anticipation of repairs.  This is a great time to shop reviews and get quotes.
