⚜️ You have one perfect Saturday in Greater New Orleans. Build your day.

☕ Morning: coffee + pastry or full brunch?
🌳 Afternoon: City Park or the lakefront?
🍽️ Dinner: neighborhood favorite or somewhere downtown?
🎶 Evening: live music or back home on the porch?

Our favorite part about Greater New Orleans is that sometimes the best day doesn't require going very far at all.

👇 Build your perfect Saturday—and tag the local businesses that would make the itinerary.

🌧️ Here's a very South Louisiana home-buying tip: see the property after it rains.

When possible, another drive through a neighborhood after one of our typical heavy rains can give buyers useful information they might not notice on a sunny showing day.

Look at:

• How water drains around the property
• Street conditions
• Yard drainage
• Gutters and downspouts
• Any areas where water appears to collect

It doesn't replace inspections, disclosures, flood information, or professional advice—but it can add another piece to the puzzle.

Sometimes being a local buyer means knowing when to look, not just what to look for.

🍂 The calendar says fall. South Louisiana says... we'll see. 😅

Even if we're still reaching for the A/C instead of a sweater, the beginning of fall is a good reminder to give your home a seasonal checkup.

Our September list:

✔️ Service the HVAC after a hard-working summer
✔️ Check gutters and drains
✔️ Inspect exterior caulking and seals
✔️ Look for moisture around windows and doors
✔️ Check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
✔️ Walk the exterior for small maintenance issues

No pumpkin spice required. 🎃☀️

🍽️ We're starting a debate on a Friday.

You can keep only ONE New Orleans classic:

🥖 Po-boys
🍲 Gumbo
🫘 Red beans & rice
🍤 Fried seafood
🍩 Beignets

Which one survives?

And because we're always looking for places to recommend, tell us where you're ordering it from.

Bonus points for neighborhood spots in Jefferson or Orleans Parish that deserve more attention. 👇

📍 Jefferson Parish or Orleans Parish? The answer isn't as simple as "city vs. suburbs."

One reason we love working throughout Greater New Orleans is that buyers can find completely different lifestyles just a short drive apart.

You might prioritize:

🏡 Yard space and off-street parking
⚜️ Historic architecture and character
🍽️ Proximity to restaurants and entertainment
🚗 Convenient access to work and daily errands
🌳 A quieter residential setting

And even within each parish, neighborhoods can feel dramatically different from one another.

That's why we start with how you want to live—then work backward toward where you should look.

What would be at the top of your list?

👀 Before buyers notice your kitchen, they've already seen your exterior.

When we're preparing a home for the market, we don't want the exterior to be an afterthought.

A few relatively simple details can change the first impression:

🌿 Trim overgrown landscaping
🧼 Pressure wash dirty surfaces when appropriate
🚪 Clean and refresh the entry
💡 Replace burned-out exterior bulbs
🗑️ Remove unnecessary items from the yard and porch

You don't necessarily need an expensive landscaping overhaul. You want buyers arriving at the front door already excited to see what's inside.

⚜️ Greater New Orleans edition: Front Porch or Backyard Patio?

There's something about a New Orleans front porch that invites you to sit down and stay awhile.

But give us a shaded backyard patio with a fan, a table, and enough room for a crawfish boil, and suddenly this gets difficult. 😂

If your dream home could only have ONE:

🏡 Deep Southern front porch

OR

🌿 Covered backyard entertaining space

Which are you choosing?

👇 PORCH or PATIO?
