Youngsville, Maurice, Lafayette, Broussard LA and South Louisiana real estate visual tours of subdivisions and homes by COLDWELL BANKER Pelican Real Estate Agent Wendy Howell

On WendyHowell.com, you will receClick here for my credentialsive:

  • no obligation access to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).
  • expanded information regarding my personal listings, including visual tours that consist of easy-to-follow real estate shows complete with mapping, links to schools, printable flyers and more.
  • a pictorial, informational, and real estate guide to my specialty areas of Acadiana, Vermillion and Lafayette Parishes. Real estate shows are also used to better show off the many and varied subdivisions and communities of the area.

Using technology to introduce newcomers to my native Acadiana is one of many ways I cater to families relocating to the Lafayette, Louisiana area. The extensive resources and ease of navigation makes my site a great resource for local residents as well. 

While I am familiar with all of Acadiana, I specialize in the communities of Broussard and Youngsville in Lafayette Parish and Abbeville, Erath, and Maurice in Vermilion Parish. I am also extremely familiar with Arnauldville in St. Landry Parish   

Until you can take the time for my personally conducted area tours, check out my visual and real estate shows!  This tour of Youngsville  is one example.

Subdivision Showcase!  Subdivisions such as the ever popular Fieldcrest in Youngsville and La Premiere and Village Park in Maurice are featured.  

Statistical information and photos, schools, subdivision statistics and links galore are but a few of my offerings. Be sure to click on the subdivision specific tours.  Better yet, ask for an area tour. 

In addition to traditonal maps and directions provided to simplify your search, "Wendy's Way"  suggests stops along the way to meet the personalities and businesses of our unique area. 

As a founding member of THE 7, it gives me great pleasure to announce my  support of a new and comprehensive website describing cities, subdivisions and neighborhoods across 7 parishes within Acadiana.  If you are relocating to the Lafayette area and want to investigate the entire area, be sure to visit AcadianaNeighborhoods.com. 

New construction is alive and well in Acadiana! Here, you will meet fantastic builders, like Corey Cormier, owner of Hometown BuilderLumber and Home in Backgrounds of LA.   Having helped numerous families close on a Corey Cormier new home, I am confident of his work and pleased to feature him on my site. 

Need help in finding a location for your new home?  There are two major ways I can help!  First, I can arrange for you to receive auto-notification of new lot listings as they are placed in MLS. 

More importantly, as your Acadiana specialist, I'm very familiar with current and planned developments in the rapidly growing communities in and around Lafayette.

If you are relocating to the area, be sure to request my relocation kit.  As a full time REALTOR® and native of Acadiana, I love to introduce newcomers to our community.
