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.

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.

Balancing personable with extremely professional

Heather Shields with Be New Orleans landed our family our dream home. A lot of our move to New Orleans had to happen remotely—moving from Hawaii doesn’t exactly leave much time for house hunting in person. We initially communicated by email and phone, and I laid out what our family really wanted from a home. Heather took it to heart. By the time I was able to get to New Orleans for a few days of house hunting, Heather had already learned enough about us to really understand what we were looking for. She brought that understanding to every showing. As professional as she was, I could always tell when she knew almost immediately that a house just wasn’t *our* house. Then she saw my eyes light up at one property. I think she knew, probably as quickly as I did, that this was going to be our home. From there, she guided us smoothly through what could have been an incredibly complicated process, especially from thousands of miles away. She continued offering advice and helping make the transition easier even after the sale was complete. Heather clearly loves New Orleans, and more importantly, she knows New Orleans. She brought that knowledge and affection for the city into everything she did for us, and I couldn’t be more grateful that we found her. She has my full-throated recommendation for anyone looking to move to this beautiful, complicated, dynamic city. One final thing stuck with me. I was always glad to see Heather because her positive energy is infectious—but what impressed me even more was that everyone else was always happy to see her, too. At showings, inspections, and throughout the process, it became obvious that she is trusted, respected, and genuinely well-liked by the people she works with. Heather is clearly tried and true in this community, and after working with her, I completely understand why.

Highly recommend!!

Could not have asked or dreamed of a better Agent (and Team) to work with. Communication was great and responses were quick. We were long distance clients and after an extensive conversation with Leslie, we started the hunt for our home. As we started our journey, we were able to narrow down more precisely what we were looking for, and Leslie was very accommodating with our changes, request, and what we thought we wanted. She was always helpful with feedback and very knowledgeable about New Orleans and its different areas. When we didn’t find what we were looking for in person, Leslie continued the hunt for us and became our eyes and ears. It’s hard to buy a home over 1000 miles away and site unseen, but we had full faith and trust in Leslie when she viewed homes for us. we are now in our home and Leslie has remained in contact with us with a few extra things in regards to our closing, as well as tips and tricks of the neighborhood and restaurants suggestions for specific dishes. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Keep calm and trust your realtor. (Particularly if her name is Heather Shields!)

Heather knows the local real estate market. She knows when to list, how much to list for, how to promote, how to show, and how to sell. She’s developed her own list of trusted helpers, from plumbers, to inspectors, appraisers, stagers, photographers, and handymen - all of whom she worked with to get my house in tip-top shape and then under contract in a mere three months! I so appreciated her always-calm demeanor and the ‘let’s-get-it-done-with-fun’ attitude she maintained throughout the process. My advice if you’re buying or selling a house in New Orleans: Trust Heather. Then keep calm and carry on. I did. And I’m glad. - Lil

Heather sold my house in two months!

Heather was very knowledgeable about the market and selling price. I moved across the country and she handled it all! Heather had a solution and a plan forward for all the buyers/banks questions and concerns. Would 100% recommend her.

Knowledgeable and friendly!

Leslie & Heather made a life changing decision as painless as possible. Sale was fast tracked and these ladies didn't miss a beat! Couldn't really ask for more.
