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.

Worked to meet us where we were.

There were 5 of us to meet and work with to sell our parents’ property. Haley and Pam were patient, thoughtful and kind. They offered various suggestions to move forward when the market was not cooperating.

From Realtor to Friend, Heather made our New Orleans dream a reality

From our very first conversation, I knew Heather was the perfect person to help us in our search for a New Orleans condo. Purchasing a property when you live 1,000 miles away can present its own challenges, but Heather made the entire process feel seamless. After listening carefully to our needs and “must-haves,” Heather created a personalized search to help us find potential matches. Knowing we had only a few days in town to view properties, she went above and beyond to schedule appointments at every place we prioritized. We were so impressed by her knowledge of the New Orleans area and the different condo complexes. At the end of our trip, we discovered one more potential property, and Heather worked her magic to arrange a last-minute showing before we left town. She truly made it happen! Throughout the process, Heather was incredibly responsive. Our calls and texts were always answered quickly, and she kept us informed every step of the way—from our initial offer through closing. We always felt that we could count on her. Beyond her expertise and professionalism, it was Heather’s personality that made our experience so special. From the beginning, we felt we had found a friend, not just a real estate agent. She was always looking out for our best interests while also taking a genuine interest in us and our lives. That personal connection made what could have been a stressful process truly enjoyable. Although we were thrilled to become New Orleans condo owners at closing, it was bittersweet knowing we wouldn’t be in touch with Heather quite as much. We feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with her—and even more fortunate to know we’ve gained a friend in New Orleans. We cannot recommend Heather highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, responsive, dedicated, and genuinely cares about her clients, Heather is the person you want in your corner.

Incredible to work with, taking the energy to help guide us to exactly what we wanted in a home.

Heather was incredible to work with, taking the time and energy to help guide us to exactly what we wanted in a first home. I only wish we could buy endless homes, just to continue working with her! When we first started working with Heather, we thought we knew exactly what we wanted. We didn't! But with every conversation, she understood more and more about exactly what we wanted. There was a point where we got very heartbroken and discouraged so we took a break from the hunt, and she never questioned us for it. We returned back, looked at all kinds of houses that were all so different from the last, and searched endlessly. Then one night, she took a chance with our stubborness to send a house that we would've never looked at. When we stepped in, it immediately clicked with us that this was the one. And now we own it! We own a home that is exactly what we dreamed of, we just didn't know it then. And to Heather and the Be NewOrleans Team, we can't thank you enough for always being in our corner. Guiding us where we needed it. Endless cat conversations in the midst of house-buying chaos. And being the best support anyone could ever dream of. Thank you for helping us find our beautiful home!

Leslie & Heather are a phenomenal team; I couldn’t possibly recommend these two more highly.

Hire them today! Leslie and Heather are absolutely fabulous; I promise you won't find better agents who are more committed to their clients and more knowledgeable about the GNO market. They have represented us in three transactions, and each time they were truly exceptional. Whether selling or buying a home, they are remarkable realty warriors. A few of their most notable attributes: Diligent and professional -- -- They work tirelessly. Anytime we needed something they were there for us; they're unbelievably attentive to their clients' needs. Tenacious problem solvers -- -- No matter what crazy requests or demands the buyer or seller had, they knew exactly how to handle it. Excellent communicators -- -- L&H always kept us informed in a timely manner; we never had to ask for an update. Also, they promptly responded to the many calls and text messages as we were prepping the house for sale. Supportive and patient -- -- Thoroughly answered all questions and calmed my anxiety as I was riding an emotional rollercoaster while selling our home. There was lots of hand-holding, and they never once complained. Honesty and integrity -- -- Conducted themselves in the most admirable manner while dealing with absolutely absurd requests and ludicrous demands from potential buyers. (And there were quite a few.) Icing on the realtor cake -- -- They both have the most wonderful sense of humor! I honestly don't believe any agents would've worked more relentlessly to negotiate the best possible deal when buying and selling our home. As far as agents go... Leslie and Heather are a dream come true. IMHO, they are undoubtedly the best in the business. I can't even begin to imagine buying or selling a home without this spectacular duo representing us.

No Better Agent

There is truly no other agent that I would want by my side, especially when everything goes sideways. A week after we put in our offer to buy a home, the apartment we were living in caught fire. Our lives were thrown into chaos, but Leslie was incredibly kind, professional, and efficient throughout the whole process. It all moved like a well-oiled machine. Our admittedly scattered minds were treated with warmth and patience through every step. We're now happy and comfy in our new home in record time. I cannot speak highly enough of Leslie and Be New Orleans.

Team Be is topnotch-100% recommend!

Team Be provided us with their market expertise, clear communication and support throughout the process to sell our home for the best price. It all happened better and quicker than we ever expected. We credit Leslie and Heather for moving things along smoothly because of their professionalism and experience. They were able to connect us with the best resources and trades people to have our home ready for the market. They were always available for questions and made a stressful time really rewarding. We had the right realtors who helped us find the right buyers for our home. I highly recommend Leslie and Heather. They are like part of our family now and are still providing us with advice even after closing.
