About Shelley

I am a New Orleans native, currently living and working in the French Quarter. I have a deep appreciation for our historic neighborhoods and properties, and I've been actively involved in numerous condo developments, as well as condo, residential, and commercial properties, with a special emphasis on the French Quarter. Before becoming a Realtor, my background was in sales and marketing. I spent two years in Kyiv, Ukraine, during the reconstruction period of the New Republics. Initially, my role was to implement a cellular and paging company, but I soon became involved in the purchase and business development of the first privatized radio station in Ukraine. This led to the acquisition of nine additional stations across the country. During this time, I also worked in real estate development in Kyiv. I have been a licensed Louisiana Realtor since 2003 and have received multiple Gold and Platinum Sales Awards from both Latter & Blum and the New Orleans Metropolitan Association of Realtors. Real estate is a family passion, as both my mother and grandfather were Realtors. I have been fortunate to receive numerous sales and achievement awards, including being recognized as the Top Sales Agent of Latter & Blum’s Historic Districts office for multiple years and winning the Super Star award from the New Orleans Metropolitan Association of Realtors. I genuinely enjoy getting to know my clients and providing them with the best possible service. My extensive knowledge of the city is a significant asset. Historic buildings are a particular interest of mine, and I find it incredibly rewarding to be involved in the preservation of our great city. I also have experience with commercial properties, including hotels, restaurants, and bars.

About Rana

Rana Cabeceiras Realtor, Rana & Nini at Ricci Real Estate I've been helping people buy and sell homes in the New Orleans area since 2007, and I still get a little thrill every time I hand someone their keys. Nearly two decades in, I've worked through every kind of market, and what I've learned is that the right guidance matters far more than perfect timing. I work across the whole metro, from Uptown, the Garden District, and Mid-City to Lakeview, Metairie, and Kenner, over the river to Algiers Point, and across the lake to Mandeville, Covington, and Slidell. Every neighborhood here has its own personality, and my favorite part of the job is helping people find the one that feels like theirs. My clients get straight answers, steady communication, and someone who treats their move like it's her own. Whether you're buying your first home, selling the one your kids grew up in, or relocating and trying to make sense of it all, I'll walk you through every step, and I'll still be around long after closing. When I'm not showing houses, you'll probably find me at a favorite local restaurant with a good glass of Bordeaux, or driving around town admiring the oak trees. Your Neighborhood, Your Lifestyle, Your Home!

Steve instilled in me his determination to sell my property so I did not have to even think about it

Steve reported in detail to me, The concern of every potential home buyer so we could try to eliminate problems or concerns for the next interested party. We learned all along the way what people liked or didn’t like. And tried to highlight the good things and minimize the bad concerns. It always felt like a growing experience until we felt we knew exactly what a potential buyer wanted. We even asked them, and made compromises to please them and get the property sold. It was successful all along the way for me. I appreciate his hard work, constant caring and consideration for whatever worked for me Best! I would recommend him to everyone wanting to sell a property. He gets things DONE.

Realtor turned Friend!

Rana put a lot of tender loving care into finding me the home of my dreams. She first asked me what I wanted in a home, what I enjoyed in a neighborhood, and my hobbies. You would not think that would be so important but it is critical to finding the best place in a new city. She learned my priorities then, she went to work! She gave me several options and took me to see a lot of houses. And when I say a lot, we probably looked at 10 in one day many different times! Rana took every one of my phone calls, listened to me stress out, and calmed me down every time. She brings positive vibes and encouragement in the process and creates a comforting experience to home buying. I am now fortunate to call Rana my friend. I would highly recommend Rana for your home buying experience. She knows everything about the city and will work tirelessly to find you exactly what you want.

Fantastic agent!!

Steve and his team are amazing! Since we started working with him more than six years ago, renting our property has been so much easier and for more positive than what I handled everything myself. Steve’s knowledge of the market is incredibly helpful, and I really value his honesty. He works hard, communicates well, and always delivers, especially when it comes to finding great long-term tenants. I’ve recommended him to friends and family, and everyone has had a great experience. Working with Steve is a real pleasure.

A repeat buyer who highly recommends Greg Jeanfreau!

I've bought 2 homes with Greg now and I couldn't imagine working with anyone else. He helped me find my starter shotgun double and then 5 years later, helped me find my dream home. He thinks of things before I even ask and is more than happy to work for you. Highly recommend!!
