Seller of 20 Seaward Court, New Orleans
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.
Buyer of 1204 Poland Avenue, New Orleans
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.
Seller of 2800 Hudson Place, New Orleans
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.

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.
Buyer of 8238 Spruce Street, New Orleans
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!

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.
