Leslie was a fantastic support and great communicator in a tough market. She led me through some significant repairs and put me in a place where I felt confident we'd done everything we could get a buyer. Definitely recommend for her incredible local knowledge and relationships with a variety of fair and affordable contractors if repairs are needed!
Seller of 929 North Rendon Street, New Orleans
We are so grateful that we found Leslie and Heather. Their knowledge, advice and care in guiding us through the whole experience of preparing our house to be listed and then the follow-through of the sale itself could not have been better. And that something extra of a true local, neighborhood agent can't be beat. Thanks to Leslie and her team!
Buyer of 33 Tennyson Place, New Orleans
There is not enough room here to explain how wonderful the home buying experience was with Leslie. We live in Detroit and were wanting to buy a house near our daughter. They had used Leslie to purchase their house and suggested we call her. She was over the top in helping us find the right house and calming our fears of moving to a new place.She knows the market and made sure we got what we wanted at the right price. The special sauce is her follow up , she made sure everything went smooth through the entire process.The extra special cherry on top is that after you buy the house she follows up to make sure everything is ok and she was many local vendors the she has worked with to help with maintenance , lawn care ,etc. this was especially helpful for an out of towner..... I would give here Three thumbs up but I only have two thumbs. I would HIGHLY recommend her for you real estate needs

Seller of 5618 Chatham Dr, New Orleans
We originally moved to New Orleans, not knowing anyone or the individual neighborhoods. Heather was amazing: matched us with not only a home we adored but, a neighborhood that fit us like a glove. She truly listens to what works for you and your family, your needs, your wants and works tirelessly to find that for you. When she sent us properties to review/tour, she was there for us but didn’t hover. No pressure what so ever. We would talk about the house afterward, she would listen intently and ask questions. All the while learning our tastes/preferences. She is also an excellent negotiator! We asked for considerations and dispensations when we recieved the inspection of our home, that had immediate and longitudinal savings for us, that we wouldn’t have thought of but, Heather did. We bought our home in New Orleans and then had to sell it 4 years later, due to a job offer out of state. My wife and I knew exactly who our realtor would be! We left New Orleans quickly, to start the new job, and Heather had our home staged, inside and out. It looked lovely. The housing market has been a steep hill to climb recently but, Heather stayed the course with us. Offering advice along the way, keeping our spirits up and utilizing her far reaching marketing experience. Being out of state, having multiple showings over time; she kept us updated every step of they way. I almost felt like I was there. When we accepted an offer and were about to close, we had an unexpected water issue that we were alerted to and advised Heather. She was all over it! She raced to our house, inspected it from top to bottom, stayed until the water inspector got there so she could review the issue, had a plumber out the VERY next day to fix it. Whether it’s dedication to her clients, market knowledge or finding you the right person for the job that needs to be done around your house…Heather is your realtor!! We could not have asked for anyone better. XO
Buyer of 406/700 South Peters Street, New Orleans
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.

Seller of A/1916 Prytania Street, New Orleans
My condo had been on the market for over 500 days when I called Sarah to be my new realtor. She had an offer within a day of listing it. She gave me some hard facts about why my unit wasn’t selling, and still made it happen so quickly. Negotiations went seamlessly and we had almost no hiccups throughout the 45 days.

Buyer of 5900 Tchoupitoulas Street, New Orleans
Working with Lane felt like having a good friend who knows the neighborhood inside and out, someone who shows you all the best places, makes the entire experience fun and easy, and genuinely wants to help you find the perfect home for you. As a first-time homebuyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide me through the process. Lane is incredibly knowledgeable, and she shared that knowledge every step of the way in a way that made everything feel approachable and never overwhelming. She was always responsive, easy to communicate with, patient, kind, and genuinely wonderful to work with. She made what could have been a stressful and complicated process feel almost unbelievably smooth and easy. There were honestly moments when I thought, “Can buying a house really be this easy?” and that was entirely because of Lane. I absolutely loved working with her and cannot recommend her highly enough. If you want someone who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, incredibly responsive, and truly invested in helping you find the right home, Lane is the person you want in your corner!
Seller of 7816 Jeannette Street, New Orleans
Lane was just perfect! Helped with just the right pricing and had a comprehensive understanding of the house and neighborhood. She was super professional and so easy to work with. Helpful with all decisions. House sold flawlessly
Seller of 3/1029 Barracks Street, New Orleans
She is attentive, communicative, knowledgeable, courteous, tasteful, thoughtful, and clever. But the best part of selling my home with Lane was knowing that once I signed, it was as good as done. I knew I would get the best offer the home could command and that all I had to do was wait. Peace of mind is priceless.
