About Gretchen Shotwell

After many years of dreaming of New Orleans, I made this city my home in 2005, just two months before Hurricane Katrina. Prior to selling real estate, I was in the public education field for 15 years. It was only after spending years stud ying the amazing architecture, lovely homes, and history of New Orleans, that I became a realtor. Something in this city's architecture just "grabbed" me and I wanted to share that feeling with homebuyers in the area. It's truly rewarding to see sellers meet their personal goals and move on to the next chapter in their lives and equally as rewarding to see the joy and excitement on a buyers' faces when they finally get the keys to their own piece of New Orleans and her vibrant culture. My passion for New Orleans has allowed me to become knowledgeable about the many diverse neighborhoods and what they have to offer a homebuyer. I work tirelessly for my clients whether it's marketing their home to its best advantage or finding the perfect match for the new homebuyer. I own a home in the Bywater neighborhood, which is undergoing a transformation of its own. I enjoy gardening and restoring my beautiful 130 year old home to its original beauty. I share my Victorian home with two rescued German shepherd dogs who bring me great joy and a lot of exercise.

Gretchen was incredible. She was there in every way possible for 2 years +. She walked me through every step of the process. She's the best!!! I highly recommend Gretchen to everyone. She knows New Orleans, and all surrounding areas.

We had purchased this property for income and decided after several years that being landlords was not a natural fit for us. We were intrepid about listing the property and I wanted to make sure we had the best possible real estate agent for the job. I didn't know Gretchen personally, but knew that she had done very well for an exacting, detail -oriented acquaintance. From the first time we met at the property to the closing, Gretchen stayed in close contact. She provided us with to-do lists and timelines, and followed up with us on these. Her advice was always spot on, her research was impeccable. She was incredibly transparent about the process of selling a house. She listed our property on June 30; we had four offers with the first four days and closed on July 27. We could not have been more satisfied. We are certain that both the buyer and us got the best possible deal and that is wholly because of Gretchen's know-how. I would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone in the market to sell or buy a property.

Gretchen made what could have been a seriously stressful and long process short and sweet. We were selling our home from out of state, but she made sure we were aware of everything going on and that we were comfortable every step of the way. She went out of her way to be available for questions and to provide us with any information we needed. Top-notch customer service! Highly recommended.

I have worked with Gretchen through a few contracts now and I can say she is the ABSOLUTE BEST REALTOR IN NOLA, in my opinion, ESPECIALLY for first time home buyers, we had a lot of fun together even through the stressful times (because buying a house at the end of the day is stressful). She is the type of realtor that will take the time to ensure that you have every piece of information you need to make an informed and educated decision and never pressured me into any sale just for a paycheck. In fact I can say that after closing on my brand new house we are now friends and reach out to her advice even after the close which she has been gracious to provide help. Ive worked with different realtors in the past who just want to push you through the procedure and move on to the next client to increase sales revenue and Gretchen is the complete opposite. She also has an AMAZING Rolodex of quality people she recommends (but doesnt force on you) who have the same mentality. If you are looking for a realtor first time home buyer or not reach out to her first, you will not be disappointed or hard sold on anything, including her expertise. I can say with a 100% certainty we will be doing business in the future when I'm ready to purchase my next property! Thanks again!

Gretchen was always available to answer my questions. My home sold within the first weekend it was on the market. She is also a great go between for buyer and seller.
