Heather was exactly the realtor we needed to sell our home. She clearly understood the ins and outs of the market in the New Orleans area. She advised us on when to list, pricing, and made each step of the process easy. I had lots of questions and she always provided prompt and accurate responses. I will recommend Heather to anyone buying or selling in NOLA.
We chose Leslie to help us sell our home because of our overwhelmingly positive experience with her a few years prior when we first bought our home. It was the best decision we made. She is so knowledgable and proactive, and we had 100% confidence in her judgement. We had to sell our house while living in a different state, but because of her dedication and competence, we had total trust in her. Every setback was met with a new solution. She worked tirelessly, was always responsive, and provided us with a constant stream of ideas to navigate the market. We are so grateful for all she did to get our house sold and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor they can rely on.
Leslie was absolutely amazing, she handled everything for us. Between moving back home from Florida to my fiancée and I starting work almost instantly when we got back she made sure everything was handled for us so we didn’t have to worry about anything. We love the house she got us in and we recommend her services to anyone looking to buy a new home.
I can’t say enough great things about my experience working with Heather as my realtor. Selling my home was a challenging and emotional decision, and Heather guided me through every step of the process with honesty, compassion, and professionalism. She was clear and direct in her communication—which I really appreciated—and always managed to bring humor and warmth into even the most stressful moments. What stood out the most was how she genuinely had my best interests in mind. She caught a financial error during the closing process and made sure it was corrected, ensuring I received the full amount I was due. That level of attention to detail and advocacy is rare. Heather is not only hardworking and knowledgeable, but also kind, thoughtful, and truly committed to her clients. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home—and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again in the future. Thank you, Heather!
Such a great experience working with Leslie. She was there to answer any questions and was always available. She really went to bat for us throughout the whole process. Totally put our interests first! Would highly recommend using her.
There are a lot of realtors in the game. And then there’s Leslie Heindel. Leslie is a force of nature who will not stop working until she has gotten you your home. This was my first home buying experience and I would have been lost without her. Hell, I’m pretty sure I’m still lost but I knew I could trust her to take the lead. She doesn’t just unlock properties to let people poke around; she shows up with a printed list of everything there is to know about a property then looks at the property with you, pointing out things you may have missed or helping you figure out why that weird thing or whatever is weird. A New Orleans native, she’s super well connected; if she doesn’t know something about a property you can bet she knows someone who does and she will have them on the phone in a matter of minutes. Closing on my house was a challenge due to a number of factors. She adeptly helped me navigate them, pivoted when needed, and offered me experts who stepped in when she reached the end of her wealth of knowledge. She was never afraid to admit when she didn’t know something and would do the digging needed to figure it out. In an industry filled with untrustworthy people, you can count on Leslie to keep it real. She is always honest and won’t just tell you what you want to hear in order to close a deal... even if that means having to work even more before getting her client a home. You can tell that she really wants to set people up for success and happiness in their homes. In short, she gives a sh*t and it shows. You won’t regret signing on with Leslie as your realtor… if you’re lucky enough to even get her- she’s busy for a good reason!
Leslie is an amazing agent. Very knowledgeable and professional. Excellent communication throughout the process. She took care of everything and made the transaction a breeze.
Working with Heather Shields was a dream. Due to her savvy media presence, professional property photos, and slick video, the house was under contract after only four days on the market. And once it was under contract, she was in constant contact with updates and dealt with all of the minutiae involved in the process. I could not have asked for a better experience.
I could not have dreamed up a more patient, knowledgeable and client-centric realtor to guide me through my first time buyer journey. It was clear to me from day 1 that Leslie is an unfailing advocate to her clients, prioritizing their needs above all else, and doing so with a reassuring attitude that kept me hopeful throughout our search. If that wasn’t already enough, Leslie also was refreshingly transparent about every step we took and every property we viewed. I trusted her fully and I knew that she was ready to go to bat for me, a fact that put me at ease immediately. Finally, Leslie is just a fun person. Her ability to take a process that can be fraught with anxiety and alleviate that through her wit and upbeat personality was so appreciated - every conversation, even the “not so fun” ones, were a breeze.
Leslie guided me through the purchase of my first home with professionalism and expertise. Buying a house is something that I assumed would be overwhelmingly stressful and confusing, but Leslie made sure that was not the case. There was never a moment that she wasn't available to answer any questions or concerns. Furthermore, her knowledge of different landscaping or construction issues was impressive and allowed her to quickly discover hidden problems with a house saving me time and money. I feel lucky to have met Leslie and would absolutely recommend her to anyone thinking about buying a house.
Leslie has the inside scoop if you are moving to NOLA and helped us tremendously with location, costs, and local knowledge which is unsurpassed. She goes the extra mile in chasing down the details and giving recommendations above reproach. You will not go wrong choosing Leslie as your agent.
We can’t say enough about our amazing experience working with Leslie! From day one we benefited from her thorough knowledge of different neighborhoods, the local housing market, and the entire home buying process. We are first time buyers and she was there answering our many questions every step of the way…I swear she doesn’t sleep! She carefully listened to all of our needs and concerns and constantly kept us in the loop through every offer, negotiation, inspection, repair, and even after our closing. We will be enthusiastically recommending her to everyone we know!
