Leslie is really professional and knowledgeable regarding both buying and selling a home in New Orleans. We used her to buy our home and to sell it when we decided to move out of state. We have recommended her to a friend of ours and he used her as well to buy his home. She made everything as quick and painless as possible and answered all of our questions.

Heather blew me away with her professional, courteous, and knowledgeable guidance. She answers your questions before you even ask them, contacting you with great information about the stage of the process you're in so that you're always comfortable even in the midst of what can be a big/stressful life change! She gave me 100% confidence that she was on top of every detail of our back to back house sale/purchase. She quickly & efficiently got our home listed, handled open houses & showings, and helped us sort through the multiple offers. We were absolutely thrilled by her handling of our sale!

I got to work with both "Be New Orleans" agents (Heather & Leslie) over the 2.5 months of our back to back house sale / house purchase. They are simply the best. They're on top of absolutely every detail (including any that your buyer's or seller's agents might be overlooking!!!) and they're wonderful about keeping you updated all along the way, explaining what you're signing & why, etc. Highly, highly, highly recommend them!

Leslie answered every one of my annoying questions and concerns with patience and grace (and humor) as I navigated my first time selling. She asked for my input and guidance at every step and when she did weigh in with advice it was always honest and spot on. It was a really collaborative process and couldn’t imagine ever using another agent.

Heather is a caring and knowledgeable agent. She was always available for advice and questions, no matter how silly. She made a stressful experience as easy as possible on us and we could not have done it without her. The vendors she used, from the photographer to the inspectors, were wonderful as well. A first rate experience.

Heather will double check that every door at your house is locked after a showing, twice. She’ll be respectful, understanding, and reasonable, and levelheaded during a time that feels totally insane. You’ll never wonder what the next step is because she’s already thought of it and she’s already planned to send you a summary to help guide you in the transaction as real estate, buying or selling, and she knows how important it is to you. She knows what works and she understands people. She’s just the very best

Heather's knowledge and overall demeanor was invaluable during the sale of our home. She was always quick to answer messages, and proactively let us know what we should be doing at each stage. We were SO glad we had her sound advice and guidance during the tricky parts of the process. She went above and beyond and was the perfect advocate for us. In the end, we sold our house quickly, for more than the list price. I am an extremely picky "consumer," and have no hesitation suggesting Heather for anyone in the market for a realtor. Bonus points for her being so nice!

Heather became our agent after our property languished on the market for months with a different realtor. She was an expert communicator and kept in close touch throughout the experience. She sold our property in 5 days for over asking price! We were so pleased. I would recommend Heather to anyone, especially anyone with a property in Algiers Pount.

Leslie and her team at Be New Orleans are different from every other realtor and real estate team. They have the chops in their industry AND in customer service. And they are first in class at both. Buying and selling are both SO STRESSFUL and in different ways. I've done both with Leslie and her team, and during really different markets. They took care of me and still check in, they made me part of a community, and were SO MUCH MORE than transactional. I still go to them for house and community advice, recommendations, connections and referrals for services and common questions about the bizarre grown up experience of owning a home. Nobody wants to move after the hard work it takes but I would do it every year to work with Leslie!

After a good deal of research of our own and through communication with a few realtors, we chose to work further with Carolyn. We proceeded to take several additional weeks with her, looking at the details of numerous candidate properties before heading into town to view them (and others). In all we viewed over two dozen houses in about a week, Carolyn matching our energy and enthusiasm while dealing with all our quirks and preferences. Carolyn researched comparable sold properties to help us formulate and negotiate through the offer process and negotiations. Once an offer was accepted, Carolyn worked even more closely with us, coordinating with the seller's agent, arranging inspections and contractor estimates for needed repairs, and coordinating with our lender to ensure deadlines were met. This hands-on, personal attention carried through closing and beyond — Carolyn went way, way beyond expectations to ensure we were ready to live in our new home from the very start. Being out of state she made the process much easier than we had thought possible. Thank you for always being there for us, Carolyn!

We used Leslie for our first house four years ago and she did so great we called her when we were looking for a new home. It was not a difficult process but it was not the smoothest process either managing the requests of buyer/seller and she was always knowledgeable, very responsive & honest about everything that came our way. I am now enjoying my new backyard! We will be referring her & using her when the next move comes!
LESLIE HEINDEL
Leslie helped us buy and sell our home within a two-year span during a crazy market and made it so easy! She has set the bar so high for realtor expectations that we will just have to fly her out to our new duty station to help us buy again. We can't say enough good things about our experience with Be New Orleans! Thank you Leslie and Heather!
