I’ve always grown up with the question, “What are you going to be when you grow up?”. Okay, I have to admit that at first I wanted to be a rock-star. My father, who I am so fond of, was a rock-star back in his day. He was the lead singer of a band called “Billy Pendleton and Earth”. Of course, being daddy’s little girl..I wanted to follow in his footsteps. I wanted to tour like he did, I wanted to sing like he did and I wanted to be a rock-star.

As a child, I always knew that I wanted to help people. I guess I thought I would be a giving rock-star. Hey, maybe I would have made millions and given it to charity. Who knows. Whether I was singing or touring, I knew that I wanted to help people. As I got older, and after my father telling me that I ‘couldn’t’ be a rock-star, I started to focus more on helping people.     

When I thought of helping people I thought, “Hey, you should be a therapist”. Being young, I never realized that you could basically be helpful in any field you decided to go into. Going to college, I chose music as my major. Go figure, right? I thought, “Maybe I could be a diluted rock-star and teach music”. I struggled with finding my calling. I then switched to psychology for a minute. It was a quick, brief minute.

Trial and error landed me with a business degree. For awhile, I struggled trying to figure out where my place was in this world. And then it happened. One day my friend mentioned “real estate”. mmm, real estate? Little did I know that that day would change my life forever. I dove in, went after it and found my calling.

I’ve always had a love for home and people. Boy was I surprised when I finally figured out that I could combine the two and have the best job in the world. I love meeting new people. I love making friends. I love seeing new homes. I love connecting lonely homes to their new owners. I love making people smile. It feels good to give back and to be helpful.

I believe in honesty and integrity. I believe that it is better to give than to receive. I believe that I have finally been placed in the perfect place….real estate. Yes, it has its up’s and down’s but so does life, right? They always say find something you love to do and you’ll never have to work a day in your life. I’ve found it.

Wanna know a secret? Okay, it’s not really a secret but there is something spectacular brewing in Denham Springs, Louisiana. What is it? I thought you’d never ask! It’s Crystal Lakes Development. Are you thinking of moving? Are you thinking of building? Well, have I got the place for you. Prime Locations is proud to announce a new subdivision in Denham Springs, La. This just isn’t any ordinary subdivision and these are definitely not your ordinary houses. I know you are dying to know and I am certainly dying to tell you.
Â
Prime Locations Realty had a meeting last week where we were all informed about the great things happening at the Crystal Lakes Development. I say “development” because it is still in the making. We have so many different models to choose from for the building of your house. Excited? You should be. I want to elaborate a little bit on what was discussed at the meeting because I think it’s completely necessary for people to be informed and in “the know”!
Â
First off, I am not a builder. I must admit I did fool around with lego’s as a child but it never went further than that. While I am not an expert on the building process at Crystal Lakes Development, I do have a tad of information that will put a smile on your face. Are you ready to smile? Just go with it. I am proud as ever to say that the building at Crystal Lakes is done by “Homes by Dave”. Dave who? Dave Underwood. There is no such thing as cutting corners in this subdivision. Each has been and will be built as if Dave’s family were to live in it. Each home is developed with tender loving care. Why do I say that? Let me elaborate.
Â
Dave dove into building these homes and laying out the floor plans with safety in mind. Did you know that it is a wind resistant house? Take that Katrina 2.0! No more worries about anyone or anything huffing and puffing and blowing your house down! Also, the house has gas filled windows.
Â
Gas-filled Windows: Gas filled windows reduce the heat conductance of the air space between multiple panes by replacing that air with either argon or krypton gas. Originally, the space between panes was filled with air before it was sealed. In a sealed insulating glass unit, air currents between the two panes of glazing carry heat to the top of the unit and settle into cold pools at the bottom. Filling the space with a less conductive, more viscous or slow-moving gas minimizes the convection currents within the space, conduction through the gas is reduced, and the overall transfer of heat between the inside and outside is reduced. Argon is inexpensive, nontoxic, nonreactive, clear and odorless. Â
Â
Wow, I say wow because I really am not completely informed about gas filled windows but it has a lot to do with safety and taking a beating from another Katrina. Also, worried about your utility bill? Dave kept that in mind when building homes. The homes were built with the idea of low utility cost. These homes also have a 14 sear air conditioner. What is a 14 sear? To be honest, I have no idea. Like I said, I’m not a builder or a tech. I do know that the best you usually can get is 13 and we went above and beyond that..14! What about the roof? It’s a tekshield roof. What about installation? None of these homes have paper installation. Zip-Zero! All have blown installation except for lot #1. Believe me when I tell you, these homes were built to last for you and your family.
Â
What about the foundation? What about the slabs? Good question. Dave isn’t just going to use any old concrete to make the slabs, he’s using fibermesh . Whoa, what is fibermesh? It’s basically fiberglass and concrete mixed together. Voila, what a great combo. Is it necessary? It is if you don’t want your slab to crack. The fibermesh keeps the slab from cracking, so rest easy. So, you are probably wondering about the foundation and the lot that it is on? Don’t worry it’s normal. I must admit, as Dave says..”We just have really good dirt”. Why is dirt so important? Well, to be honest, this is what you and your family are going to be living on so you want to make sure it’s compacted and compacted well. How can you prove this? Well, don’t just take our word for it but it’s been tested. Yes! The legal percentage for a compaction rate is 95% and I hate to brag but ours is 98%. Now, that’s good dirt.
Â
There are probably a zillion of other questions that you have but I assure you it’s not a question that we can’t answer.  Did you know that there is a ten year warranty on all the homes? I’m telling you, you can’t beat that with a stick. Here are just a few examples of the awesome, quality construction that Dave Underwood and his crew are offering:
Â
10 Year Warranty on All New Homes
Dramatic Roof Pitches
2×6 Construction with 6″ Insulation
Advanced Hurricane-Proof Technologies Utilized Throughout Including:
Architectural Shingles, Tie-Down Roofs, Specially Designed Hurricane Nails
Wind Resistant up to 130 mph
Termite-treated Sub-soil
3000 psi Concrete Slab
Ground Fault Protection
Cable, phone, Internet pre-wired
Â
I know, pretty awesome uh? It all looks great on paper but this is something you must see for yourself. Prime Locations has moved their office to the Crystal Lakes subdivision and I actually get to work out of one of the model homes. It’s breath taking. I have to say it’s so easy to feel at home. I might have a tear in my eye when we actually have to leave. So, if this isn’t enough information to make you want to start trucking it to Crystal Lakes Subdivision, just wait. Let’s talk about the community!
Â
Will the community be gated? We are not sure yet. It really depends on what you and your neighbors want. This is just a pinch of how we want to serve you and make you feel more at home. Did I mention that there is going to be an island and a peninsula?  Okay, it’s nothing like Gilligan’s Island but good enough. It will be so beautiful and will add so much to Crystal Lakes Subdivision. Here are a list of all the awesome things offered and going on in the Crystal Lakes Community. You might want to sit down for this one:

I waited all my life for that moment, that one moment special moment with the sun beating down on me, the heat…and the sweat. Blood, sweat and tears it took, it takes. Coach Broker promised training session after session. That training never came. I watched other Coaches cheer on their team. They worked together, trained together, learned together..grew together. I was alone. Well, not completely alone. There was part of my team. We were all dodging the pop ups, not really knowing how to position the glove. It was time for a huddle. We huddled around the water cooler for discussion. Brainstorming our thoughts, our ideas, our fears and our goals. Working together was imperative and training together was a must. We started to learn as we went along and took notes, bruise after bruise.  

                                            

 I was tired of sitting on the bench. We were tired of hanging in the dug out. We wanted to be seen. We wanted to be heard. Coach Broker looked over us as all the star players tried to pull in points for the team. It wasn’t working. Ahhh, the star players, who told you there was an “I” in team? The few of us banded together and bonded. We practiced and we pushed. With skinned up knees and bruises to show, we learned from our mistakes but kept going. And then it happened, voices heard…a chance given, the star players on the bench.

  Co-worker up to the plate, with another on deck.

The opposing team through a curve ball, strike.  Pfft. We yelled a cheer of assurance. As the opposing team lifted up his heels, he goes for another curve. Swooosh! Kapow! Bam! We hit it, he hit it hard. It falls behind the filing cabinet and they scurry to find it. Co-worker on first, pre-qualification was so smooth.

                                                       

Another co-worker up to the plate and the game continues. We’re all a nervous wreck, crossing our fingers…..hearts racing.–   The opposing team throws back his arm and BAM!. Swooosh! Strike! It was a lien, a huge one. We stayed positive and affirmed one another. We worked together, screamed together…blood, sweat and tears. The opposing team roared at the strike, what a lien. We leaned over for another huddle, we stayed positive and then it came…..Swoooch! Bam! The lien was handled and knocked out of the office. We played by the rules and played the game right. Co-worker on first, co-worker on second. Another up to bat.

   We crossed our fingers, We were so close to this finale, this finale we called real estate. Co-worker gets read to swing. The down payment comes and it comes fast. She swings and hits it hard. It goes past a few few uncertainties but they had no luck. Victory. She made it to first and the down payment was made. Yahoo! The bases are fully loaded, no agents out…so sweet and so victorious.  

The crowd goes wild. We go wild. Excitement can’t be contained. The broker looks astonished. The star players are envious. They had no choice but to believe that there was no “I’ in team. They were getting it. It’s my turn to bat, the sweat drips off my forehead. My nerves are trying to get the best of me, I don’t allow it.

                                                   

Here comes the ball and boy was it a humdinger: closing costs, dirty titles, wishy washy clients, ethics, morals, values…it was huge. I composed myself and got ready. I kept my priorities in line and took a deep breath. I hit it. I hit it out of the park.   The crowd goes crazy. I go crazy. My team, even the star players go crazy.

                                                     

 HOMERUN! All co-workers running, tapping the plate. The contract was signed and the deal was done and we did it. We worked together. We helped one another. We respected each other and we played fair. I ran across the home plate and boy, did it feel good. I didn’t do it alone. It was the huddle, it was the team. We did it together and the deal was done.

  Lions, Tigers and Bears Oh My! You’ve guess it! It’s the zoo! You know, I love the zoo. I probably love the zoo more than my son does but that’s out little secret. Come discover the animal kingdom at the Baton Rouge Zoo. The zoo opened it’s doors in 1970. In the past 35 years, our zoo has grown to become the #1 year around family attraction in Baton Rouge. The zoo is home to over 1,800 animals from all around the world. Grrr. The Baton Rouge Zoo is awesome about holding educational programs and active outreach. If you visit their website, you will notice that they are always holding events.   The last time I visited the zoo was at Halloween. It was so much fun. It was called “Boo at the Zoo”. I dressed my son up as a monkey, which I thought was totally appropriate. Strolling through the “Boo at the Zoo”, they handed out candy at each station that was set up. It was fun to see the animals behind the cage and the animals running around getting candy. This is just a small taste of what the Baton Rouge Zoo has to offer. You should definitely make a special trip to the zoo, you are guaranteed to have a blast!  

  Splish Splash! Living in the south, well- it gets pretty darn hot. You know those days where you just want to play on the slipping slide and have your kids run through the sprinkler? On those days, it’s great to go to the Blue Bayou Water Park. They have all kind of slides and rides. The unique thing about it is that it is not only a water park but it’s somewhat of a fair, also. They have fair rides which go great with the water slides. So, if you aren’t in the mood to get wet they have other things to get on and ride. My favorite is the wave pool, I jump in and the water jumps out. This place never gets boring. It seems like everytime I turn around they are adding new rides and slides. They also have an outdoor venue for performances and concerts. I like to call it my “mini disney land”. So, if you are ready for good food, great rides, wonderful slides and awesome entertainment, head on down to the Blue Bayou Waterpark/Dixie Land Amusement Park.

                                                 

   Let’s go bowling! Don Carter’s in Baton Rouge, La is a great place to take the family for a night of bowling. Guess what? You don’t even have to know what you are doing. All it involves is a ball, a few pins and loads of laughter. Don Carter’s is a 64 lane bowling center. They welcome leagues for tournaments, corporate events and they also offer great birthday parties. Tired of bowling? No problem, they also have a game room with several games and a few pool tables. My favorite part? They have the best chicken strips! If you gotta itch to bowl, pack up the family and put on your bowling shoes.    

                                                   

 It’s nature at it’s best. It’s Wanetiri Lakes. This is such a beautiful, serene place. They have horses, walking trails, picnic areas and more. There is so much to do at Wanetiri Lakes.

Come visit Louisiana’s most ancient residents in crystal clear water in a climate controlled enviroment. It’s an alligator farm. I bet you don’t see those everyday! The Insta-Gator Ranch is home to more than 2,000 alligators. Holy smokes, that’s a lot of gator. The ranch gives you a guided tour through out the ranch and gives you a first-hand account of the Lousiana Alligator Industry, from hatchling to handbag. The ranch is open year round, come rain or shine. They offer a number of different packages for birthday parties and school groups. Did you know that you can even adopt a gator? I’m serious.
