I live and work on the West (Best) Bank of New Orleans, listing and selling homes in Algiers, historic Algiers Point, Gretna and Terrytown, Belle Chasse, Harvey, Marrero and more.  I have been a full time real estate agent since 2002, when I left the corporate world of banking after 19 years to follow my dream of being involved in the real estate industry.  An Algiers resident, I take pride in all that the West Bank has to offer and welcome everyone relocating to our area.  Whether you are moving from across the river or across the country, I am available to assist you in choosing the right West Bank neighborhood for you. 

Military relocations to the Naval Air Station, Joint Reserve Base on the New Orleans West Bank are made easy with local lenders who offer many choices in VA financing, including direct VA lending.  If you are being transferred to NAS JRB New Orleans, contact me for a list of available housing in the area and we can get to work making your relocation as smooth as possible.

Why choose the West Bank Living Team?

WE LOVE HOUSES!  Small or large, beautiful or ugly, every house has potential.  OK...almost every house has potential.  Being able to see the potential in each home makes it easier for me to focus on the positives when marketing them or helping a buyer to "see" what a home could be. Taking the most flattering photos possible, creating virtual tours, designing flyers for virtual distribution...these are all part of my services to every client, in every price range.

Working with Sellers

---

In today's rapidly changing market, there is nothing more important to a seller than the ability to get your home in front of as many buyers as possible.   Helping our West Bank sellers put their correctly priced homes into prime condition and moving them towards a quicker sale is our primary focus. 

Working with Buyers

---

Today's buyers have more choices than ever in home ownership.  This can be overwhelming to most people when faced with literally dozens of choices in the market. 

Assisting buyers has become a much more specialized effort, so I have teamed up with Terri Babineaux, a dedicated buyer's agent, as part of the West Bank Living Team.  We can help you narrow down your wants and needs to find the perfect new neighborhood and home for your family.  Need help finding a mortgage lender, a home inspector or a title company?  Our proven team of partners can assist with every step along the way. 

Professional guidance through the buying process can eliminate most of the stress involved - let's make finding a new home the fun adventure it can and should be!

 

 

 

I specialize in homes for sale on the West Bank of New Orleans and West Jefferson Parish.  Growing up in the area gives me a real appreciation for all of the great amenities the West Bank has to offer and how unique each area is.  From Algiers to Avondale, the West Bank is a collection of diverse neighborhoods with homes ranging from historic to newly constructed, from affordably priced starter homes to multi-million dollar properties.

I work with both buyers and sellers, but my passion is being a listing agent.  Putting together a marketing plan for a new listing is always very exciting and I want that excitement to shine through in all that I do.  I believe that part of my success comes the open lines of communication that my clients have learned to expect from me.  Weekly emails, updates after showings, "just touching base" calls, 24/7 web access and keeping my sellers up to date on the current market are all part of my standard services.  I strive to always exceed the expectations of all of my clients.

Client Testimonials:

Lisa,

Thank you so much for the help selling my home in Marrero. As you know I interviewed 2 agents before you but liked the web site and all the information there. As you may remember we were in the middle of updating when you first toured the house and I asked you to be brutally honest with my proposed changes and give me any advice you thought would help.

The advice you gave me was spot on and reasonable for the market. Of course I always go overboard and decided to do even more, but your ideas for the kitchen put the idea in our heads for what we could do in the bathrooms and they turned out great.

I was expecting the house to sit on the market for several months since the neighbor has been for sale for what seems like forever. When we got our offer after only 74 days I was blown away. It was very nice to go to closing on the day that had been originally planned with no problems .

I have recommended you to one person considering sale of their home and would shout your praises from the roof tops. Thanks also for the contractor recommendation for "German" He is wonderful and did awesome work for me.

Dear Terry and Lisa-

Bruce and I would like to thank you both for all of your hard work and perseverance in helping us buy our 1^st home.  We couldn't have done it without you!  You both made this process less frightening and less stressful!!!  We feel privileged to be the first closing you had as a team.  You truly worked as a team in every sense and we appreciate it.  Thanks again for being with us every step of the way.

Catherine & Bruce

Dear Lisa,

We want to thank you for all you've done for us in the past few weeks - this one especially.  We're hoping a real "thank you" comes with a closing!  You have been invaluable to us - we're so glad we found your website!!  Thanks again,

Hi Lisa:

Just to let you know, I was very impressed with all of your knowledge and handling of the sale of my house.

I was very satisfied with the efforts, hard work and service you provided in the sale of my ranch home on Rhodes Ave.   If I may go one step further, Latter & Blum is so lucky to have such a fine professional working for them and that you are an asset to the company.

We will definitely recommend you to everyone we know in New Orleans.   P.S. Come visit Colorado!

Sincerely, John R. Boutte

You have been a blessing throughout this whole process.  Thank you again for all your help with my family and assisting my mother.  We love this site of our new home, how awesome it that.  If I know of any more military families coming to New Orleans I will definitely send them your way.

We are looking forward to moving into our new house and making it our home.

Thanks again,
Angela and Douglas
