1-225-298-6900 Pat Wattam, an
Arkansas native, is known for her flair whether she's selling homes
or engaging in one of her many recreational activities.
Pat met her husband, Roger, in 1969 when they were both music
students at Arkansas Tech University. She completed her Master of
Music at Michigan State University and Roger is an alumnus of
University of Southern Mississippi with a Master of Music also. They
moved to Baton Rouge in 1979 from Nashville, Tennessee, when Roger
joined the music department at LSU as the music instrument
technician. Roger retired from LSU in 2008 and joined Pat’s team!
Pat's career in real estate has been much like her career in music.
People love to work with Pat because of the enthusiasm she brings to
her work. She believes that enjoying her job is the key to her
success. She built her team looking for people who reflect her work
ethic!! Newcomers to Baton Rouge have found that her team could have
coined the phrase "Laisez les bon temps rouler" (Let the good times
roll!). Client Gail Landry wrote: "Fun and professionalism would be
an oxymoron except when it refers to Pat Wattam and her team!"
Pat's customers and friends know whom to call when they want to know
what's happening in and around Baton Rouge. She loves the warm
climate of South Louisiana because it allows people to pursue their
favorite outdoor activities year round. If you like sports, then you
will enjoy year round soccer, golf, tennis and more! If you like to
garden you'll find lots of different flowers and vegetables to grow
here. Even Pat, who is known for NOT having a green thumb, can grow
beautiful flowers!
Golfers delight in having the chance to stroll the links nearly
every day of the year, while tennis players, like Pat and her
husband, Roger and most of her real estate team, have the same
opportunity for play. If you are interested in tennis, Pat can
direct you to the nearest court, club, pro, or help you join a USTA
team so that you can compete regularly. Horseback riding is also
popular in the area - whether your style is Western or English,
there are plenty of other riders waiting for you to join them! Pat
can direct you to a stable or a riding instructor, or even riding
camps for the kids!
Weekends in Louisiana are filled with many different festivals -
from the "Strawberry Festival" in Ponchatoula (a great place to shop
for antiques and eat some fabulous German food too) to the "Chili
Cook-Off" in Ascension Parish you can never say you don't have
anything to do when living in Baton Rouge. There is a festival
nearly every weekend, somewhere close by!!
Some of the other things Pat loves about Louisiana are the many
parks to go hiking, the zoos and Wildlife centers to see animals in
their natural setting, riding in an airboat to see alligators (and
if you are lucky, you may even get to hold a baby alligator!!), and
the many historic plantations and civil war sites to visit.
Louisiana is filled with history. One of the 'must sees' is the
D-Day Museum in New Orleans. It is one of the best museums Pat has
ever been to - not only size but the quality of information. Let her
know what you'd like to do and she will point you in the right
direction.
With a very active arts community, Baton Rouge hosts a number of art
galleries and, with LSU, wonderful student productions in music and
theater at little or not cost. The Baton Rouge Symphony is one of
the finest orchestras for a town this size. The Baton Rouge Little
Theater provides quality theater as well as summer acting classes
for children and teens. The smaller Swine Palace Theater offers more
intimate settings of plays and music. Playmakers is a special
theater for children to learn to enjoy this type of entertainment.
Children as young as 4 can enjoy sitting on the floor, close to the
stage, and meeting the actors afterward. The children are taught,
prior to the performance, proper theater etiquette. Baton Rouge has
several Broadway Show series, with professional companies bringing
the latest hit shows to our area!
When it comes to eating in Louisiana, all we can say is loosen your
belt or join a gym! Maybe the fabulous Cajun food is why you see so
many people out walking and jogging in Baton Rouge!!! Although
cooking is not her specialty (except for her annual Client Christmas
Party where her crab dip is the main target for the guests!),
knowing where to eat it!! Ask Pat's advice on where to eat when
you're in town!
Pat and her husband love to travel and photography is another major
interest of . Many clients check with Pat before planning a trip to
see what travel books she already has. If you are thinking of
Hawaii, think Kauai and the Wattams!! They have been 4 times and
know all the ins and outs for you!!
Pat tells every client, "Selling you one home is nice, but what we
want is to make a raving fan, someone that will refer all their
friends and family to us. If we don't do a good job on the front
end, we will never see those referrals. What we want to create are
customers for life!" Let Pat and her team help make Baton Rouge your
new home. So whether you're relocating to Baton Rouge and need
information on the city or just making a move across town and need
someone to look out for your best interests, make your first call to
Pat Wattam and her Team. |
