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!
