I do a lot of my business in this area because I live in Harahan. I have seen most of the homes that were for sale in the area so I know when a great buy comes along. People rarely overpay for properties in this area and nver when they have me for their agent. I know the areas that are prone to flood and the little tidbits that will payoff for you. These areas don't usually have a lot of the nicer homes availiable because people tend to be a little more settled in the area.
