Carlos “Gives Back” Alvarez Honored By Baton Rouge Business Report

http://www.billcobbsuccess.com/ - Local Builder and Giver Back To The Baton Rouge Community Honored By The Baton Rouge Business Report.

Local Builder, RE/MAX Broker and Annual Builder of the Saint Jude Dream Home was honored by the Baton Rouge Business Report on September 8, 2009 with the Article, “Carlos Of All Trades“. Here’s A Snippet from the article:

“Not long ago, Realtor Scott Gaspard represented the buyer of a home that was under construction when the project ran into snag. The area around the site was rezoned, and the surrounding flood elevation level was changed. As a result, the buyer was forced to purchase flood insurance, which increased the cost of the home by several thousand dollars.

Gaspard’s colleague and competitor, Carlos Alvarez, was the builder and the seller. Alvarez and the buyer had agreed on a price, and though it technically wasn’t his problem, he didn’t want to see the buyer take a hit. So Alvarez offered to pick up some of the closing costs.

“Some builders would have bickered over every dollar,” Gaspard says. “But not Carlos. He was willing to work things out because he genuinely wanted to help my client. It’s an example of the kind of guy he is.””
