Barbara is a highly skilled and knowledgeable realtor. Her suggestions and design input on updates to make the home sale ready were spot on while remaining budget conscious and her team of home improvement experts were excellent to work with. We live out of state and Barbara went above and beyond to meet the needs of our tedious but quick sale! We would recommend Barbara and her team without reservation and will use them when we return to New Orleans!

You wont find a better realtor than Barbara! She will work tirelessly on your behalf, either to find you a new home or to help sell yours. She listed our home and we were under contract within 24 hours. In addition, she helped us find our dream home. She is a pleasure to work with and we feel lucky to have found her!

We had two days to find an investment property in New Orleans. Barbara committed her full time and efforts during these 2 days and accompanied us on showings at 22 properties. She understood the market, was flexible and offered several additional properties for consideration we had not flagged. We accomplished our goals and closed on the property quickly. As we are not located in New Orleans she has been more than accommodating in providing resources and helping with the property itself. Very successful experience.

We had a great experience working with Barbara! We had been looking for a house in New Orleans for over a year. She was always professional and responded quickly whenever we contacted her about properties. We developed a good relationship with her and even trusted her enough to preview the property we eventually purchased and advise us of whether or not the house was to our liking. It was and now we own a historical home in the French Quarter! Thank you Barbara!

My wife and I moved to New Orleans from Atlanta in June. We were interested in purchasing our first home by our June move date, and thus did most of our research from out of town. We had visited New Orleans before but were not very familiar with the area.Barbara was awesome to work with. From the minute we declared her as our agent she was extremely active and responsive. She asked questions to understand what kind of property we were looking for, gave honest opinions on those we saw that looked interesting to us and recommended properties based on our interests. When we contacted Barbara, we had less than two months to find and close on a home before my wife's residency. Barbara scheduled a full weekend two weeks later to view homes with Tori and me when we were in town.Barbara spent nearly 15 hours with us when we were in New Orleans and showed us about 25 or 30 properties. She was very familiar with the Garden District/Uptown/Carrollton/Warehouse and CBD districts and provided restaurant and gym recommendations as we drove through those neighborhoods - she took us to lunch at an awesome sandwich spot as well. She was also knowledgeable about future construction contracts, new developments, and how that would impact home value. We put in an offer on one of the properties we toured Sunday of that weekend.The only piece of feedback I would have for Barbara is in negotiations. Once we decided we wanted to put in an offer, I felt a tad rushed and Barbara did not encourage us to negotiate below asking price or request any concessions. In fairness, this particular property was in high demand; however, my wife and I wanted to negotiate and tried. We ended up getting some appliances included as well as closing costs covered by seller. My wife's family has experience in real estate, and we would not have thought to negotiate in ways outside of just sales price without my mother-in-law's advice.Once under contract, Barbara was fabulous! She was there every step of the way to guide us through the closing process. She helped us find a lender, giving us a few names so we could shop, and was present for the inspection so my wife and I did not have to buy a plane ticket back to NOLA. She also went to the house to take measurements so we could shop for furniture and blinds prior to move-in. Once under contract we were only present for final walk-through, which Barbara was able to schedule conveniently with our closing date. We felt confident that she had everything covered and followed up with the developers of the property to resolve the few issues that the inspectors found.Overall, I would really recommend Barbara. She was responsive, had great knowledge of the city, and knows the ins and outs of the the closing process - just be sure to push a little during the negotiation process. Barbara really cared about finding a home that was right for us, and that we would be happy in for years to come. Given we were shopping from out of town that commitment was most important to us, and I know that we will be happy in our new home. And I am confident she will back us if anything were to go wrong with the new construction. Thanks so much Barbara for all your help during the process!

Barbara made the home buying experience very smooth and I am very happy with the home I am in. There were many instances when i could not be present for an inspection or contractor to visit & provide a quote on inspection findings; Barbara and her team made sure they were there and represented my interest as the buyer. She provided meaningful information & it seemed always had my interest in mind when we were finalizing price & inspection findings costs.

I would definitely recommend Barbara and Alicia! As first-time home buyers we had a lot of questions, and they were always very quick to respond and made sure we were where we needed to be throughout the process. The partners they recommended (lender, inspectors, etc.) were also very helpful and on top of things. We had a wonderful experience all around!

Barbara was over amazing at assisting me throughout my entire process of purchasing my first home. I didnt know what to expect when buying my first home, but she made it so easy and simple and helped me and answered any and all questions I may of had. Her response time was phenomenal even when I was coming from California all the way to New Orleans. I was recommend 100, she did not disappoint.
