We are moving from Buffalo, NY hopefully in early July. We made a trip down to New Orleans several weeks ago and after driving 250 miles in one day checking out the areas we found Mandeville to be just the right place for us. Now we have to find a home, or at least a rental until we find the right house which will be a challange from Buffalo. I am going to contact Janie Mizes on your recommendation, she sounds like just the person we need to help us. If you or anyone you know has any further info we will welcome it.

So expensive on a fixed income is right! And more importantly, what will they do if (ahem...<i>when</i>) the house does get some flooding? You know, I'm not in flood risk zone, but there's supposedly an underground spring through my property, and let me tell you, in a normal year with normal rainfall? It's a freaking swamp. And you've seen "the green room" in my house. It's awful--we've had two years where we couldn't even go in the back yard, and fixing the problem is insanely expensive, pretty much out of the question for the foreseeable future. Maybe it's just me, but I see water anywhere near a house and I get really nervous. If there are any issues with the water, even minor, it's going to be very difficult for them to handle. Isn't there anything on higher ground, so to speak? What about elsewhere on the North Shore? ACK! So expensive on a fixed income is right!

Everyone clapped, & the 2 fellows were all smiles. Nice thing to do for them. By the way, you booked the flight with me leaving so soon. Wonder why? Can't imagine! Take good care of my hubby!

All I can do is cross my fingers for you about the whole thing. I'm all for family members being close by. I changed my whole blog for the season and used a close up of your beads as my header. They're beauty-full. I don’t know anything to say about all that except that it’s great there’s no conflict about them giving up their old home, and wanting to be close.

Am totally ignorant about buying after having only lived in 1 bought house, now for over 41 yrs. Janie is very earnest but not overwhelming or pushy in the least which would freak me out. She is extremely comfortable to be with & takes my uneducated but heartfelt comments without dispute e.g. "Oh what hideous colors". "Just let me out of here". or " This is really gross". "No way". Such amazing patience this woman has, & I really like her as a person. My highest recommendation of Janie. Janie Mizes is a really super realtor.
