About PATRICK

Patrick Knudsen is a New Orleans real estate advisor specializing in luxury homes, historic properties, investment real estate, and distinctive development opportunities. With more than 20 years of experience in the New Orleans market, Patrick brings a thoughtful, strategic approach to representing buyers, sellers, investors, and developers in some of the city's most significant real estate transactions. Licensed in Louisiana since 2006, Patrick has built his career around the neighborhoods, architecture, and relationships that make New Orleans real estate unique. His particular expertise lies in the French Quarter, Central Business District, downtown New Orleans, and the city's historic districts, where he helps clients navigate the opportunities and complexities of distinctive properties. From landmark residences and historic conversions to investment properties and off-market opportunities, Patrick understands how location, architectural character, condition, and long-term value intersect. Patrick's experience extends beyond traditional residential sales. He has represented developers in bringing distinctive residential projects to market, including the successful sellout of Union Lofts, a 33-unit condominium development in downtown New Orleans. His notable transactions also include the LaLaurie Mansion on Royal Street and the Anne Rice Chapel, a historic Gothic chapel transformed into a unique private residence. These projects reflect his ability to recognize a property's potential, communicate its distinctive value, and connect it with the right buyer. For investors and developers, Patrick offers a commercially minded perspective informed by years of experience with investment properties, short-term rental transactions, and the creative reuse of existing buildings. He understands that successful real estate decisions require more than an appreciation of a property's beauty or history; they demand careful consideration of market positioning, financial objectives, and the opportunities and challenges inherent in each asset. Born on Manhattan's Upper West Side and a dual citizen of the United States and Norway, Patrick brings an international perspective and entrepreneurial sensibility to his work. Clients value his judgment, discretion, and ability to navigate consequential transactions with clarity and care. Patrick's professional accomplishments include multiple industry distinctions, among them the 2020 CityBusiness Excellence in Real Estate Award and recognition as a top-grossing agent at his regional Sotheby's International Realty office. He has consistently ranked among the top 10% of New Orleans real estate agents. Whether representing a buyer seeking a historic French Quarter residence, a seller preparing to bring a distinctive property to market, or an investor or developer evaluating an opportunity in downtown New Orleans, Patrick provides informed, personalized guidance grounded in more than two decades of local experience.

Serious STR expertise!

I have worked with Patrick Knudsen on three separate real estate transactions in New Orleans, and I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone serious about short-term rental investment in this city. Patrick's knowledge of the New Orleans STR market is genuinely unmatched. He doesn't just find properties — he understands the nuances of neighborhoods, the regulatory landscape, the revenue potential, and the operational realities that separate a great STR investment from a costly mistake. That expertise has been invaluable to me at every stage of the process, from identifying the right opportunities to negotiating terms that reflect the true value of what I was acquiring. On our most recent deal — a seven-unit commercial property in Bywater — Patrick went above and beyond in every sense of the phrase. The transaction was complex, the stakes were high, and his guidance throughout was steady, sharp, and deeply informed. He brought the kind of professionalism and personal investment in the outcome that you simply don't find in every agent. Three transactions. Three closings. Zero regrets. If you are looking to invest in New Orleans short-term rentals and you want someone who will treat your investment with the same care they would their own, Patrick Knudsen is your person. I would not work with anyone else.

Flexible and Accommodating

Patrick Knudsen recently assisted me with brokerage services for an investment property I stumbled upon while driving past an open house. Since I am a real estate broker, I didn’t require full service representation. Patrick was extremely flexible and accommodated me by offering limited services. He performed above and beyond our initial arrangement by providing guidance regarding Louisiana laws and Realtor regulations. Patrick was also a great source of recommendations for contractors and tradesmen. I found Mr. Knudsen to be knowledgeable, affable, and extremely patient.

Great Experience

Patrick is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable about the area that he operates within and great to work with. Had honest and direct advice throughout the process. I look forward to the opportunity to engage with him on future transactions. He is your guy if you looking to buy or sell in NOLA.
