About LESLIE
As a fifth-generation New Orleanian, Leslie is a native that knows her city’s neighborhoods like the back of her hand. She can tell you how the city has changed, how it will continue to change, and why we only eat king cake during Carnival season. Leslie understands that when New Orleans touches your soul, you have finally found where you belong. Dynamic, resourceful, smart, and entertaining, Leslie loves problem-solving and will go to the mat to get her clients what they want and need. She loves the moment in real estate when she knows her clients have found the “one,” and oftentimes, she knows it before they do! Her past client references speak volumes about the level of care she gives long after the transaction is done. As a matter of fact, once she is a part of your life, consider it forever. “Off” time is rare for Leslie; she uses downtime to thrive in other areas of real estate, such as writing her very informative & helpful blog posts, creating fun quizzes, promoting local businesses, and connecting people. When she does take time off, she indulges in her wanderlust and travels as often as possible, collects shih Tzus, enjoys bird watching, cat stalking, and dog petting. She is extremely passionate about old bathrooms that others may consider ugly and Mid-Century Modern homes.

About Heather
Heather’s love affair with homes began at a very young age. She remembers her mom going through Better Homes & Gardens magazines. When she moved to New Orleans in 2009 in search of a new beginning, she learned this love that began so long ago would stand the test of time. People think she looks at pretty houses all day and lives on her phone. For Heather, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. This job is part project, people and organizational management, part marketing, a lot of connecting, and some unofficial life coaching. Outside work, you’ll find Heather with family and friends, enjoying French fries & bubbly, snapping photos. But her real passion remains the genuine love she has for houses and helping other dreamers and believers secure their own piece of New Orleans magic.

About KIM
Although she grew up elsewhere, when Kim moved to New Orleans in 1997 she knew that she had found her home.  The warmth, quirkiness and joy of its people; the layers of historic architecture, culture and cuisine; its celebration of life and renewal - if you care about people and their neighborhoods and homes the way that she does, this city made perfect sense.  Kim was an interior decorator before becoming a realtor in 2005.  She is known for the concierge-level service she provides for buyers and sellers before, during and after a sale.  Putting the needs of others first comes naturally to her.  Trustworthy and discrete, Kim has assembled unparalleled resources to help her clients accomplish their goals.  She is a strong advocate, an effective negotiator and provides an experienced voice in the New Orleans real estate market.

Prior to her time in the Crescent City, Clara lived in Lexington, working as a gardener at Boxerwood Gardens from 2009 to 2013.

About us

Everyone in New Orleans has a story and this one is ours… We are the people who know where you went to school. Where your mom ‘n nem live. Where your favorite poboy shop is located. We get that your MawMaw’s gumbo is the best ever (and are secretly hoping to be invited over next Sunday.) Crescent City Living is a real estate brokerage that works with New Orleans residents and transplants to choose their place and find their joy in the Crescent City. We know that our patchwork neighborhoods are a reflection of the varied people who call them home and choosing one can be a daunting and confusing task. Connecting you with an experienced agent who can guide you, lessen your moving stress, and point you in the direction of a great happy hour when things get crazy is our primary goal. Crescent City Living’s core belief is that every client deserves an advocate as an agent, so we don’t believe in or practice dual agency. What does that mean? You’ll never find us representing a buyer and seller on the same deal because we live and die by the 1 agent: 1 client relationship. You deserve 100% of our attention and expertise and we guarantee that’s what you’ll get. Our agents reflect the distinct flavor of New Orleans. We are diverse. We are inclusive. We are proudly woman-owned, locally born and raised, and never stuffy or corporate in our approach to real estate. We’ve helped home buyers and sellers who are part of the cash economy and the service industry, people who are single or attached, our BIPOC and LGBTQ+ friends, and some wonderful pet moms and dads. We know that everyone’s New Orleans is different, and we are ready to welcome you to join us on our journey of enjoying this beautiful city we call home.

Heather was detailed, knowledgeable and very customer focused.

Unfortunately, our house had plumbing, electrical, and roof issues during our 8 month process. During the 8 months, Heather was exceptional. Heather's ongoing advice was empathetic, prompt and professional. Sher was patient, caring, and honest with us during our inspections (multiple) and figuring out what the proper listing price. She is an excellent communicator and we couldn't ask for a better realtor.

Knowledgable, patient, responsive, and truly dedicated

We are so grateful we chose Heather Shields and the Be New Orleans team to sell our house. This sale took a little longer than we anticipated, but Heather was there for us every step of the way, guiding us, supporting us, and keeping us encouraged throughout the process. Heather's professionalism, market knowledge, patience, and dedication made a stressful situation much easier to handle. She definitely went the extra mile for us. Leslie was awesome and supportive, too. In the end, we got it done, and we truly could not be happier with their work. If we ever buy in the area again, we would absolutely hire Heather without hesitation.

Top shelf!

When we decided to move from the Midwest to New Orleans, we knew we'd need a realtor who would listen, be patient, be our eyes on the ground, with great local expertise and experience. We read through dozens of realtor bios and talked to a few, but one stood out- Heather. Grounded and calming, expert. Wonderful at two way communications and working to understand our wants and needs. Persistent. Dedicated to helping us find the right home from 800 miles away and two trips here to look at homes. Heather gave us everything we needed to make an`informed decision, all with a warm personality and great sense of humor. The end result? We're living in our dream home, in the perfect neighborhood for us, in the best city in the world. And made a good friend in Heather.

My faith in realtors has been restored

Working with Leslie was a joy! I was in the market for a small condo(her commission barely covered her gas money), but Leslie treated me as though I was looking to purchase a mansion on St. Charles St. If you want an agent who knows the market, the neighborhoods and will be your advocate through every step of purchasing a home hire Leslie Heindel! Her knowledge of, and passion for New Orleans can't be beat.

Amazing Home Selling Process

Heather made the typically daunting task of selling our home feel incredibly smooth. She was consistently communicative and kind. She is professional, highly organized, and genuinely pleasant to work with. If you are looking for an agent who can navigate the complexities of a sale while keeping the experience positive and straightforward, we can’t recommend Heather and Leslie enough!

Best in Class Experience

There are not enough words to express my gratitude to Leslie and Heather and their team as they guided me through the sale of my home. They kept me in one piece (sometimes hard to do) and anticipated every need/question that I might have. I trust their expertise. I've experienced quite a few agents in this city that are unprofessional and do things that are not smart or in my best interest but Leslie and Heather set a bar for professionalism and expertise that is truly best in class. They are smart, efficient, professional and really know the market so they are able to guide buyers and sellers to the right decision. I highly recommend them. They are pleasant to be around and make the process as smooth as possible. I trust them completely.... and you should, too!
