I am a lifelong resident of the New Orleans area and have been licensed as a real estate professional by the state of Louisiana since 1993. I am an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR), a Seller Representative Specialist (SRS), and a Certified e-PRO. I have assisted buyers and sellers all over the greater New Orleans area with buying and selling both new and existing homes, as well as vacant land

. For sellers, I offer a unique technology-based marketing plan that is both highly effective and cost-efficient, allowing me to pass the savings on to you. The Kandu Action plan works for all property types and price ranges. See the Kandu Realty web site for complete details on how you can save thousands of dollars when you list your property with me, instead of an over-priced traditional real estate brokerage. For buyers, we offer our Kandu VIP program. I monitor the MLS daily and will promptly notify you of new listings so you don't miss anything. I also search the top FSBO sites for you. Finally, when you buy a qualifying home, I will even pay for and give you a FREE HOME WARRANTY as my closing gift to you. But it's really not about me; it's about YOU. Your satisfaction is my #1 priority! I want you to be absolutely delighted with the services I provide. I am confident you won't find a better value for your money. You will always receive a prompt response to all calls, texts and emails. I know slow or no response is the #1 complaint consumers have about real estate professionals. I can accommodate your schedule. I am available 7 days a week… weekdays or weekends... morning, afternoon, or evening. How else may I exceed your expectations? Just reply to this post, or call or text me to ask questions or to get started buying and/or selling.

🏡 New real estate update for buyers and investors:

Beginning March 1, the federal government is adding reporting requirements for certain ALL-CASH residential purchases made through LLCs, trusts, or other entities. The rule is designed to increase transparency and prevent financial crimes in real estate.

This won’t impact most traditional buyers, but entity purchasers should expect a little extra paperwork at closing.

If you’re planning a purchase this year and want to understand how this might affect you, feel free to message me anytime.

Is it truly a must-have or a nice perk? Your next home doesn’t need to check every box on your wish list.

In August, Home Sales down, Median Price up, DOM up, and 1st Time Buyers down. Hopefully, lower interest rates and increasing inventory will lead to more sales in the coming months, but don't expect major changes until after next month's election.

This person's home really is their castle.

The castle and its surrounding 30 acres have been under the ownership of one family for nearly 100 years—the family is now in its fourth generation.

If you are thinking about selling residential real estate in the Greater New Orleans area (including the Northshore), please contact me. It's a great time to sell as we need more homes on the market to meet buyer demand. Please see the update below.

Market Update - As the weather warms and pandemic restrictions ease across much of the country, the U.S. housing market shows little sign of cooling. Robust buyer demand, fueled by low mortgage rates, continues to outpace supply, which remains near historic lows. Nationwide, inventory remains much lower than it was at this time last year, and sales prices are surging as a result.

With such a limited supply of existing homes to purchase, all eyes are on home builders to provide a much-needed boost of inventory to the market to help meet buyer demand. However, increasing material and labor costs, along with supply chain challenges, have contributed to significantly higher construction costs, with builders passing these costs on to homebuyers. And while the warmer temperatures, rising sales prices, and the reopening of the economy may draw more sellers to the market, historically low levels of homes for sale are likely to continue for some time.
