Welcome to the beginning of my blog! My name is Jean-Paul, and I’ll be your scribe. I am a real estate broker in New Orleans, so most of the content will be related to my career, but I am known to go on about this or that. Please feel free to comment, critique, or just say ‘howdy’; I’m all about communication and effective use of the English language.
A little about me to start I guess. I am a naturalized New Orleanian, meaning I was not born here – which would make me native, but I have lived here long enough to know the difference between a oyster and an erster; for the record, there is no difference. I have been involved in the local real estate market for over ten years, landlording and property managing. Just before Katrina I was 99% licensed as an agent which I guess is like being a little bit pregnant. Upon returning to the city in October ‘05 I completed becoming an agent and have since become my own broker this year. Shortly thereafter I purchased a building on Magazine where I am renovating and going to office.
I have been married for over 10 years, I have 2.5 kids – as we are not a little bit pregnant but pregnant pregnant, and I enjoy erster po-boys as often as possible. More soon ~
