This was my 3rd transaction with Leslie- Ill never use anyone else in LA. She is always on top of every detail, and advocates for you in every way. 10/10 recommend.
Looking for a home can be stressful. Leslie and Heather made it easy and fun. They were able to get information on the houses and neighborhoods we were looking that, which we never would have found on our own. They provided helpful feedback, and we never felt pressured to make a decision but supported when we were ready to do so.
They were always (and remain!) super responsive before we started looking at homes, during the search and purchase process and post-close.
I cannot say enough good things about Leslie and my entire experience from start to finish. Buying a home is stressful and the entire team helped me navigate the process seamlessly and find my absolute dream home. You cannot get better representation or support from any other agent!
Leslie is absolutely the best! She made it so easy for me to buy and sell a home. She was patient with me, and she is easy to communicate with. She is knowledgable, honest, and had great recommendations to get the sale.
Leslie and Heather are truly wonderful humans and agents. I have been in this process for almost 2 years...yea, they put up with me for two fulll years as I tried to sell my house multiple times. What godsends! I had so many questions and concerns and they were always so attentive and kind. Could not reccomend them enough!
Working with Leslie was fantastic. My husband and I were first time homebuyers, so we were nervous and had a lot of questions about the homebuying process. She was helpful, knowledgeable, and straightforward. We could trust her to be honest about the homes we were looking at, and felt she had our best interest at heart during the entire process. She also fought hard for us when some issues came up negotiating once we found the perfect home. The overall experience with her was fabulous. We will absolutely suggest her to our friends and family in the future!
Leslie did an amazing job helping me buy my first house. She was honest and insightful. The whole team is good at what they do and they know who to contract for jobs. Will use her again and recommend to anyone.
Leslie and Heather were fantastic to work with. It was our first time selling a home and they walked us through the process and continued to answer our many questions along the way. It took longer than expected to sell our home due to the changing market and insurance. But, they never wavered and continued to market, market, market our house like it had just been listed. We ended up moving out of state before we sold the house. We were incredibly impressed with the effort, countless trips to the house, and they even helped ship our cars! They went above and beyond for us to get the sale. Our many thanks!
I'm not much of a writer but she put up with all my questions & the back and forth with the seller's attorney with grace. She's a wonderful resource when purchasing you're first gone.
Leslie really knows her stuff! Although the sellers market takes some patience right now, Leslie helped us keep confidence that everything would turn out ok - and it did! Communication was excellent as she was always available for a quick call and never left me hanging for a text response. We felt like we were in great hands from start to finish. Couldnt have asked for better!
Leslie helped us find and buy our house three years ago, and was amazing then as well. So when we needed to sell this house, she was the first person we called. She helped walk the house with us and figure out what we needed to do before listing it, and handled the conversation of what price to list at perfectly. She and the entire team made the process as painless as possible, and kept up on track with timelines and deadlines. She is the best realtor I have ever worked with, and I could not recommend her enough.
We bought and sold our home in Metairie with Leslie. And we will use her when the times comes to buy again. She is highly professional and a calm presence in the chaos of real estate transactions.
Leslie is knowledgeable about neighborhoods. She goes out of her way to make the process go smoothly and is always is constant contact leaving no stone unturned.
Leslie's knowledge of current market was spot on. She knew just what needed to be done to show the house without unnecessary expenses and provided me with contact information to have the few items that needed attention fixed in a timely manner. Within a week of completing the necessary minor repairs, the house was photographed, listed, advertised and under contract for above our listing price in 3 days. Despite the Buyer having a few delays that made it necessary to extend the purchase date, she kept me informed, monitored the progress of the purchase and did everything necessary to keep the process moving along. Closing day came as anticipated and all matters were handled in a most professional manner. I will highly recommend Leslie to friends and family looking for an agent.
Leslie is truly an expert at what she does! She may be the most organized and thorough person I've met. She is a true professional and delight to work with. She will definitely provide you with the best individualized service you could find.
I cant say enough positive things about my experience with Leslie. As a first time home buyer, I needed a LOT of guidance (handholding) with this experience and Leslie was there every step of the way. Shes incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of the home buying process, is honest and plain spoken in her approach, and always quick to reply. There will be no questions left unanswered when youre working with Leslie. Shes patient (but not too patient), understanding (but not too understanding), and will always point you in the right direction. Leslie also seems to have a magic wand and a super reliable, competent contact for any and all nips and tucks you or your house might need along the way.
Again, I cant say enough about how Leslie made this formidable experience incredibly doable for a rookie like myself. Shes one of the most trustworthy professionals around. I would recommend her to ANYONE interested in buying in this city.
I had the pleasure of working with Leslie in buying my first home, all while out of state. Leslie is a 10/10, super communicative, always there to answer questions and respond quickly. She was there for all the emotional rollercoasters and was an incredibly knowledgeable support system throughout the entire process. I cant say enough good about her! Very highly recommend. Thank you Leslie for all youve done to make this process easy, painless, and quick!
As a first-time homebuyer, Leslie was extraordinarily patient, never pushy, and always a step ahead of me throughout the process to make sure I was thinking through the purchase and realistic. All parts came together seamlessly, and while I'm hoping to stay in this home for a while, I would never hesitate to choose to work with Leslie again.
Leslie took great care of me. She understood what my wants and needs were, including budget, rooms, garage wants, and location. She made everything easy even when I was difficult. Leslie even handled my lender and all inspections and such. It was a great experience and I highly recommend shopping with Leslie.
Leslie was so wonderful during my home-buying process a few years ago that I knew I wanted her to help sell my house as well. She is prompt, timely, an advocate for her clients and always gets the job done. Thank you Leslie and team !
Leslie is knowledgeable and professional. She communicated with me every step of the way and was patient and understanding of my situation. I would recommend her to anyone looking to sell property.
Prior to me working with Leslie, I was actually working with another agent to sell my house. After my house been on the market for several months, I was left with no other choice but to canceled the contract.
To Be New Orleans, someone referred me to Leslie. I reached out to her, wanting her to be the listing agent to sell my property. She was highly professional, beautiful photography work, accurate measurements of my property, etc. The description she listed of my property was captivating. And because of that, it was that moment I realized what it meant To Be New Orleans!
Leslie was right on top of the entire selling process. Easy communication. Very efficient! Great guidance for our first-time selling experience. 100% recommend!
We went with Leslie because we wanted someone who was honest and direct, yet friendly and relaxed. She exceeded our expectations. From our first meeting, she developed a strong sense of what we wanted and helped us think through the various options as they came up. She never questioned our doubts or dislikes, reminding us, "There's always another house." Aside from being down-to-earth, professional, and genuine, Leslie is accessible. She answers emails and texts promptly, and she was available for many "Do you have a few minutes?" chats. When we found our home, she had a showing scheduled within a half-hour for that afternoon, and we had an offer on the table that night. Throughout the process, she was supportive, responsive--and hilarious. I am so glad we had her in our corner. She made the process far more enjoyable than I thought it would be!
Leslie was knowledgeable, skilled, and still managed to be a real human throughout the process of buying our first home. We were able to joke around with Leslie, get to know her, and still feel like she had the stressful process of buying a house under control for us. She's knowledgeable about the New Orleans Metro area and all its quirks because she's lived here and knows the ins and outs, an invaluable thing for us. She has many well established connections to trustworthy people you'll need throughout the house buying process and makes things as easy as they can be. Overall, you'd be hard pressed to work with a better agent.
Leslie is charismatic, knowledgeable, and so so efficient! She helped me buy and sell my first home, and both processes were completely a breeze. She set expectations each step of the way. I would recommend her to anyone!
Leslie was great to work with when selling my home. She is knowledgeable and helpful with all the questions I had. I felt she was on my side during negotiations. She made a stressful process much better. I would recommend her to everyone.
Having to sell my parents house was the last thing I needed to deal with given work and family responsibilities. Leslie was awesome to work with. She handled everything from cleaning out the house, staging when the listing needed a boost, and managing all communications related to the sale. I would definitely use her again!
It was if she could read my mind regarding the buying process. Without financing contingencies you would think this would be short and simple but the seller had had unknown title issues. She made sure our contract was up to date regarding extensions and made sure we were updated throughout. Get yourself an agent who can read your mind and the process will be a breeze.
I hate that I only have 2000 characters to summarize my purchases, yes, S with Leslie. I ask for floor plans, she has a gal for that. I ask for a fence repair, she has a guy for that. I need to be the the first person in the door because I am positive that I am going to want to put an offer in before I even step in the door, she makes it happen. My first buy was 2015 and she made sure that I had all my ducks in a row and held my hand through the process. All of her help was the sole reason that I ended up with the little house of my dreams when there were multiple offers, some of them more than mine. Now, the next will be property #4 and I know its hard to believe, but she is even more amazing than day 1. Do yourself a favor and experience what it is like to do business with someone who is honest, passionate about what they do, meticulous with details and efficient as heck. Youll never purchase a property with anyone else afterward.
Leslie (and Heather!) not only walked us through the technical parts of selling our house, but were understanding of the emotional aspects as well. We had to move out of state before our house sold, and it had been sitting on the market for a while before Leslie came in. We were stressed and overwhelmed, and the sale of the house felt like a block to the next part of our lives. When Leslie came on board, she not only had a whole marketing and pricing plan, she was respectful of our (not new and shiny) house and the significance of closing this chapter. Before listing the house, she had it appraised, deep-cleaned, staged, drafted a floor plan, took new photos, and created a marketing video and webpage for the house. I chose to work with her not only because I know her to be someone who gets sh*t done, but also because she has a clear love and appreciation for New Orleans and its (sometimes "quirky") real estate. Leslie was efficient and communicative, patient with explanations of the process and why she was suggesting certain things, and helped the new buyer see what we loved about the house. From re-listed to closed in less than two months. We are so grateful to be starting off 2023 right on the heels of this house sale, and could not be happier with the entire process. Don't sleep on your girl here- she knows what she's doing!
Leslie was an absolute gem to work with. Constantly on top of our sale, Leslie gave us up to date information and potential buy reviews daily. Leslie was honest with her feedback and pricing. She explained everything in depth and advised us appropriately. Not only did Leslie use all of her means necessary to sell our house, she also made sure it happened in a timely manner when COVID shut everything down. She also helped us buy our new home. With Leslie, everything was easy for us. She took care of EVERYTHING and didn't leave one stone unturned. If we ever decide to sell again, she will definitely have our business.
Leslie is an absolute rockstar. She is quick to learn how involved she needs to be for your homebuying process, is super helpful, and i really felt like she cared about my needs. On top of that, the aftercare she provides to homebuyers is beyond that of any realtor I've ever worked with.
I must have asked her one hundred thousand questions about every little minutia of the home buying process--including stuff that 'wasn't her job' like the ins and outs of securing a mortgage and homeowners insurance--and she always was so patient and always took the time for me.
She's SUPER responsive. SUPER organized. And I truly trusted her to do what was in our best interest. (That was the biggest problem with our first agent--we really couldn't trust that he wasn't just trying to close fast to make a quick buck.)
AND THEN, after we closed, she has continued to answer our questions and alert us about important first-time homeowner stuff we'd have no clue about otherwise--like the deadline for the homestead exemption application, or hurricane prep, or leads on good contractors.
She's been an invaluable resource for us both before, during, and after the homebuying process and we're sooo grateful!!
Leslie was extremely patient with me as I spent 2+ years casually looking at houses. When I finally decided on a house, it was one with a number of complications and a DIFFICULT seller. Leslie never stopped fighting to get me my house at the price I wanted and with the conditions we requested. I would work with Leslie again in a heartbeat and recommend her to everyone!
Leslie was instrumental in helping us through a long-distance purchase in New Orleans. During Covid. Add in Hurricane Ida, and you have just about every obstacle you could think of. During the whole process, Leslie was our advocate in every direction, from understanding what we were looking for to ensuring we didn't get in over our heads with the wrong property. We ended up with the perfect place for us, and we often think of Leslie in the same breath when we think of New Orleans and how much we love it.
I've worked with several realtors in the past, and Leslie is by far the most thorough, knowledgeable, and dedicated realtor I know. There are so many miniscule items to consider when selling or buying a home, and Leslie has them all covered. It's so nice to be able to sit back and let her arrange everything. And she's incredibly trustworthy. Highly recommend!
Leslie first helped us find a place to rent. We trusted her so much that we rented a place sight unseen (unseen by us, but seen by her) and it worked out perfectly. Then she was our agent when we bought our current house. (She also helped us find the right agent to sell our house in Florida after being with the wrong agent for too long.) Leslie is informed, on top of everything, and a fierce advocate for her clients. I recommend her 1000% to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Leslie went above and beyond helping us find the perfect home that fit our needs. We had a growing family and were looking to upsize.
Even after purchasing a home, Leslies support doesnt stop there. She has remained in touch whether its to provide a magnet with the Saints upcoming schedule, or provide up-to-date home valuation based off of recent local home sales.
There isnt enough space for the long list of positive feedback we could give her. We highly recommend Leslie.
Leslie worked tirelessly helping us sell our condo. She helped every step of the way - from giving us suggestions on which upgrades to make before listing it, to taking amazing pictures which helped showcase the condo wonderfully. She knew how emotionally attached I was to it and found the best buyer for it. I cant thank her enough for helping us through our journey.
Leslie was great to work with! This was our second house we bought with her and each time she went above and beyond to make sure we got everything we wanted. Shes knowledgeable and answered all questions we had. We have recommended her to our friends and will use her again if needed!
Leslie helped me tremendously as a first time home buyer. She made the process clear, accessible and eased my anxiety.
She was my advocate throughout the process and helped me avoid making a mistake on the wrong house more than once! Shes a realtor who has your back (no dual agency nonsense) and knows New Orleans inside and out.
She was there for every question, concern, and every obstacle. She makes everything happen exactly the way you need it to. Thanks to her, we got everything we asked for and more in closing on our new house. She has all the connections you could possibly need, to have every detail exceed expectations.
Leslie was more than professional - shes a real expert in every aspect. She took extra steps in every possible way to get our house sold, from connecting us with a contractor to take care of last-minute fixes, to recommending a cleaning service, and most importantly - helping us get not one but THREE offers in less than 48 hours.
Leslie is an expert in her field she is amazing to work with and will go above and beyond for her clients. We had an amazing experience from start to finish with the sale of our home and I recommend her to anyone in the market searching for or selling a home.
Leslie Heindel somehow made the homebuying process for this first-timer absolutely painless! She was a patient, diligent, and informed resource who helped us navigate the various steps seamlessly. She readily answered all our questions, and we truly felt like she was fighting in our corner, which is so helpful when you're undertaking this potentially stressful experience. She's the best!
I'm a smart, no-nonsense kind of person, so I really appreciated working with someone who is direct and knowledgeable. She gave me all the info I wanted or needed, and made the process (almost) painless :) My husband and I had specific things in mind, which did not necessarily match - but Leslie and her team made it happen!
Leslie is one of the most knowledgeable realtors I have encountered in New Orleans. If she doesnt know the answer, she knows where to find it, and quick! We had a few snafus with the seller and their agent, and I felt like Leslie was literally holding my hand through the whole process. She recommended and worked well with the best vendors and title company to ensure that I would have no surprises in my near future. I cannot speak more highly of her, and have recommended clients that most realtors would turn their nose up at, and she has embraced them and given them the same attention as if they were celebrities. She will forever get my business, as she deserves all the business!
As a first time, single home buyer I was absolutely terrified about the process. I didn't know what it involved or if I was even capable of buying a home. On our first meeting Leslie took the time to explain to me the step by step process from making an offer through closing, taking away the mystery and fear. She took the time to really find out what I was looking for and guided me in the right direction. As a native New Orleanian she has a fierce knowledge and passion for the city. As my agent she was deeply understanding and empathetic to my needs and my fierce advocate through the entire journey.
Aloysius Scroth-Nichols, a buyer from New Orleans, LA
She helped this clueless vet and his wife, that was on tour at the time, find a house in our budget, navigate all of the VA paperwork, and help secure the loan along with the house. Even after purchase she's gone above and beyond anyone's scope of duty to continue to check in on us, and the progress that we're making in our lives. I can't recommend Leslie enough if you are even thinking about purchasing a house.
Leslie is simply the best, I was so nervous about purchasing my first home and she held my hand every step of the way. We had special circumstances and were in a time crunch, and she made it happen in record breaking time. She goes above and beyond for her clients, I can't imagine doing this with anyone else. I can't recommend her enough, she's amazing. (And hilarious)
She was a joy to work with, helping every step of the way. I would recommend her for finding and selling a house. She also follows up afterwards which was a welcome surprise.
I went into home buying completely clueless on everything and Leslie and Heather really broke everything down for me and my husband every step of the way. They were honest when they thought a house wouldn't work for us and for that we are so grateful! Eventually we found the perfect fit! They have even kept a relationship with us post buying and continually answer any questions we've had since closing! Could not recommend a better team to work with if you're buying or selling!
Leslie was an amazing asset throughout the purchasing process. She was well-versed in home inspections and closing procedures. She continues to provide us with useful information post closing. We recommended her to family and friends in need of a realtor.
Leslie helped me to buy my house two years ago. When an expected move back to Ohio resulted in the need to sell my home, I knew who to call. Leslie make sure I was involved and updated every step of the way while living in Ohio. She made the process easy and I felt like I was still in New Orleans. Highly recommend whether you are in the state or out of the state. Thanks again Leslie.
Leslie is really professional and knowledgeable regarding both buying and selling a home in New Orleans. We used her to buy our home and to sell it when we decided to move out of state. We have recommended her to a friend of ours and he used her as well to buy his home. She made everything as quick and painless as possible and answered all of our questions.
Leslie answered every one of my annoying questions and concerns with patience and grace (and humor) as I navigated my first time selling. She asked for my input and guidance at every step and when she did weigh in with advice it was always honest and spot on. It was a really collaborative process and couldnt imagine ever using another agent.
Mary Catherine Moffett, a seller from New Orleans, LA
Leslie and her team at Be New Orleans are different from every other realtor and real estate team. They have the chops in their industry AND in customer service. And they are first in class at both. Buying and selling are both SO STRESSFUL and in different ways. I've done both with Leslie and her team, and during really different markets. They took care of me and still check in, they made me part of a community, and were SO MUCH MORE than transactional. I still go to them for house and community advice, recommendations, connections and referrals for services and common questions about the bizarre grown up experience of owning a home. Nobody wants to move after the hard work it takes but I would do it every year to work with Leslie!
We used Leslie for our first house four years ago and she did so great we called her when we were looking for a new home. It was not a difficult process but it was not the smoothest process either managing the requests of buyer/seller and she was always knowledgeable, responsive & honest about everything that came our way. I am now enjoying my new backyard! We will be referring her & using her when the next move comes!
Leslie helped us buy and sell our home within a two-year span during a crazy market and made it so easy! She has set the bar so high for realtor expectations that we will just have to fly her out to our new duty station to help us buy again. We can't say enough good things about our experience with Be New Orleans! Thank you Leslie and Heather!
Leslie and her team have a customer for life with me!
Ive worked with other real estate agents in the past, and Leslie is hands down the best agent on the planet. A lot of agents will tell you theyre on your side, but with Leslie, you actually feel it. From our first showing to after I moved into my new home, Leslie was in my corner. Shes helpful, honest, actually willing to give her opinion and advice, and her and the whole team did everything they could for me.
Seriously, I found my dream house, right by family, in my price range, and in an incredibly tough sellers market on a Saturday evening an hour from her office. I knew I had to have this house. Leslie didnt just send me to go look at, put in an offer, and tell me to hope for the best. The entire team stopped what they were doing, got a showing, carefully crafted an offer, and coached me through some brown paper bag anxiety moments until I #boughtdat.
Couldnt love this team and Leslie any more than I do. I recommend her to everyone I know.
I was overwhelmed by the idea of selling my family home. I had raised two children in the house and quite frankly felt like I grew up there myself. Leslie was patient with me, guided me the whole way and got me a great offer with a quick turnaround. I highly recommend her.
Leslie Heindel and the whole team at Crescent City Living LLC were absolutely amazing. Leslie worked her tail off for us, was incredibly professional, and made the entire selling/home buying process practically seamless. She made our old house look like a million bucks and we never even had to list it! And she fought for the best deal on our new house. She is delightful, understanding, and deeply compassionate. No detail missed or stone unturned! She caught things even my own discerning eye would have missed. If you want to buy or sell a house, or both, consider Crescent City Living!! #WeBoughtDat
Working with Leslie Heindel of Be New Orleans was absolutely fantastic! She took the time to speak with me one-on-one to find out exactly what I had in mind and how to best meet my needs. She walked me through the process so that I knew exactly what to expect and could proceed confidently and efficiently. My questions were always met with prompt, extremely helpful answers. She made sure I was always up to date and constantly in the know. I had the pleasure of working with an organized professional whose insight and efforts made for an overall smooth and pleasant process. I would absolutely recommend Leslie Heindel for your real estate needs. 2022
Leslie handled the sale of our house with the professionalism. To say that she went above and beyond the call of duty is an understatement. What was supposed to be fairly cut and dry sale ended up becoming extremely complicated and drawn out due to Hurricane Ida causing significant damage to the home. Leslie helped us navigate the home insurance process. She also kept in constant communication with the buyer to keep them up to date with the latest developments in a slow moving and frustrating process. I am 100% sure that there is not an agent out there that could have handled this better than Leslie (and her team). If you want your home sale handled by the best, there is no question at all, Leslie and the team at Be New Orleans are the choice to make. 2021
Leslie made the process so easy! She was able to quickly get us into the home we wanted in a hot market as well as sell our old house. We had a difficult buyer but Leslie handled everything with little needed from me. When buying, Leslie worked around our schedule to get us in before the open house, had an offer put in that afternoon which was accepted that night. She's super easy to work with and always reachable. Highly recommend!! 2021
Leslie Heindel and Heather Shields are great to work with. Leslie was my realtor but Heather also helped us with extra showings when my partner and I were being a bit demanding. Leslie answered all of our questions timely, and would text with me around my hours-- which are admittedly late in the day. Every email was answered timely and I truly trust Leslie's advice as far as market expertise and negotiation. We bought a house with $20k in equity based on her advocacy and advice! We also ended up buying in an area that's perfect for us and our dog-- and we had no idea this area existed prior to working with Leslie. It's lovely to know we found the perfect neighborhood. Leslie used to help me find affordable rentals while I was in school, and she knows how to tailor what I want to what's available in the market. Not to mention- I really appreciate her straight forward style. I never have to read into anything-- she shares all the info I'm asking for and I felt prepared for what was coming every step of the way. I attended her First Time Homebuyers Happy Hour over a year ago to start prepping for this journey, and I'm so glad she was my realtor for my first house! 2020
My husband and I just purchased our first home with Leslie's help. She is extremely knowledgeable about New Orleans neighborhoods, has trusting professional opinions, and is fun to work with. Despite going under contract in the middle of a pandemic, she made the whole process stress-free and made us feel at ease. I highly recommend choosing Leslie as your realtor! 2020
Leslie and Heather were incredible! We were trying to buy in a hot market and wouldnt have been able to get into a house without their expertise. They helped us navigate all of the questions and issues that came up during the process and kept us up to date with everything that we needed to know. We were moving to the area for a military move and with their knowledge of the neighborhoods, we were able to find the perfect home for our family! When we move again, we already know who will be helping us sell. They truly are the best in the area! 2020
Leslie is an absolutely fantastic realtor. She did everything she could to make buying our first house as painless as possible. She listened to what we were looking for and showed us an amazing number of houses that fit our needs. She was there every step of the way explaining the process and what was going to happen next. We are new to the city so she took time to give us any recommendations we needed and help us find everything we were looking for from grocery stores, to a new vet, to great places to eat and grab a drink. She is an amazing person and I couldn't recommend her more! 2020
Leslie was extremely patient with us throughout the entire process of both selling our home and buying a new one. She was always readily available to answer any of our random and last minute questions and she's got the best insight of the city - not to mention a wonderful and approachable personality. Special shout out to her pictures and attention to detail when listing my place - it's definitely why we got the attention of buyers! 2020
There isnt enough great things I can say about working with Leslie. She helped us every step of the way and answered every question (and I had many) that came up. When we initially decided to start eyeballing the house market, she set up a link with the criteria we were looking for in a home, and it would notify us of houses within the parameters. Whether they were new to the market or had a reduction in price.
In addition, we also needed to sell our condo, prior to buying our home. Leslie helped me develop a list of should and should not items in order to enhance the appeal for our sale. When I needed a contact for a specific job, she always had one on hand, and every individual I dealt with was professional, friendly, and trustworthy. From AC repair, plumber, to a general handyman.
Through Leslies dedication and VERY high attention to detail, we were able to list and find interested buyers far quicker than I ever expected. In what was deemed a difficult market (condo in Metairie), the individual site that included professional photos, video walk-through, and a floor plan helped pique buyers interest.
In the end, we were able to sell the condo, and purchase a home for our growing family that were excited for. I have Leslie to thank for all of it. 2020
Leslie is knowledgeable of Nola and surrounding areas. She knows the dos and donts of the current market and maybe able to predict the future J. She is friendly, flexible, and has great energy. If you need an expert with a comical twist, Leslie is your girl! I highly recommend her if you are looking to buy or sell. #BeNewOrleans 2018
#TeamBeNewOrleans is amazing!!! Leslie is super fun to work with! She was attentive to detail and will help you find exactly what you are looking for... She is personable, honest, and direct which I really like and appreciate. She will make the whole process smooth as a babys bottom. I would highly recommend her! #SheWillLeaveTheLightOnForYou 2018
Leslie helped me buy my first home two years ago and I couldnt have done it without her! She walked me through the whole process, answered all my questions and made me feel like I could go do the thing. We found my perfect house. Since then, she and Heather have been a constant source of homeowner information. Everything from advice on renovations, contractors, repair people - you name me it! They dont just help you buy a house, they help you build community! 2017
The BeNewOrleans team is amazing - Leslie and Heather work as a well oiled machine! They helped us sell our previous home and buy our dream home. They really are the dream team. It's fantastic to have both of them on your team because someone is always available. They are great communicators and WILL do everything possible to get you to the finish line. 2018
Leslie and her team are the best thing since red beans and rice. They made the entire experience enjoyable while going through the stresses of buying a new home. Throw them your best curve ball and Leslie and her team will knock it out the park every time. 2019
Leslie was amazing every step of the way. She goes above and beyond. Buying your first home can be an overwhelming experience, and for us, we were in an unusual place, we had a limited time to find, purchase, and move into our house. Now this girl loves a challenge, even with a seller unwilling to budge on almost anything, she made magic happen. We purchased before she teamed up with Heather, but Heather was still a big part of our closing, she acted as power of attorney for my cosigner, my brother who lives in another state. She signed about a million papers that day. We knew we loved her right away! Great agents and great ladies all around! I send literally anyone remotely interested in buying or selling their way. Do it. You won't regret it. 2017
Leslie Heindel us our real estate agent. We started working with her when we bought a home in Old Jefferson in 2017. She is by far the best realtor weve ever dealt with. She is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and helped navigate some crazy unexpected twists and turns in our particular situation in a way that proved her true professionalism. She also really seems to get it in a way that some other agents weve met dont, and she really takes care of her clients. She has a hustle and dedication for her work that you might expect from a much more veteran realtor. Even 2 years after we bought our house shes kept us in the loop with the market, stayed in touch in, and included us as a part of the incredible network shes helped create in this city. I am fully confident recommending her to anyone looking for the right realtor. 2017
I was anxious buying a home by myself but Leslie made me so comfortable, explained everything and was in my corner the whole way. I got everything I wanted, and I love my home. I would recommend her to anyone! 2019
Best realtor around. Very responsive and was there when I needed her. Very honest opinions and knew exactly what we were looking for. she sold my house in a week. 2019
If youre looking for the best realtor in the business, look no further!!! Leslie was incredible to work with in selling our Mid-City home. Not only did we accept an offer within 3 days of listing, but we also had Leslie in our corner to walk us through the rest of the selling process. We cant thank her enough for being so awesome!!! 2019
Leslie and Heather really went to bat for me during the sale of my home. I took all their advice regarding staging and preparations for showing. Every question I had was met with knowledgeable answers in a more than timely manner. I accepted an offer for my house within 24 hours of the listing going live, and my house sale was closed within one month of that. These ladies truly made the sale of my home a pleasant experience. The process was seamless and effortless on my part. Would recommend both of them in a heartbeat!
From start to finish, Leslie was a patient, informed, diligent, and hard working agent for me during the home-buying process. As a first time home buyer, she answered a multitude of questions for me without ever making me feel like a bother or that I already should know the information. She never pressured me to like a house that I truly didn't and gave honest advice. Leslie is consistently on top of her work, responds immediately, and was a huge help in finding my perfect first home. I would highly recommend her ! 2018
If I could help you in any way- choose Leslie. Stuck between two realtors, just scared of realtors completely, whatever your situation is- choose Leslie. Their are plenty of agents out there, you have a wide selection to choose from- but I can literally promise- a complete stranger from ANY walk of life- you will NOT regret your choice in her. Never once did I have to ask her to do anything, she was always a step ahead of me. This agent is extremely organized, focused, hard working, honest and truly a clients biggest supporter. You can tell in your first day working with her, this agent knows and is on top of her stuff. When your mind is focused on the next step- she's got the next 3 steps planned and in action. Which I cant tell you enough- was extremely helpful and relieving. As a buyer, it was invaluable to have someone who knew what I wanted, knew what I wanted to spend, got a quick feel for my personality and shifted her approach with me around that. From start to finish- we never missed a deadline- never got pushed back- her and her team are extremely diligent on looking for roadblocks before they have a chance to happen. She is extremely timely, great respect of clients time wether it's always being early to showings and having the house set up for you, or being efficient with what's needed to be communicated. I work a crazy schedule- I wasn't available to be around for my inspections- she was there, with no hesitation. Worked around my schedule for showings, made time for me to discuss things when she knew I would be available, answered every call/text/email promptly, made me laugh when things were terrible, and quickly got moving when things were great! After speaking with and watching colleagues with other agents- I will say Leslie's work ethic is unquestionable. All around best Home buying experience working with Leslie. If you care anything about service- choose Leslie. 2018
Leslie is someone that will bend over backwards (and even drive to the Northshore of New Orleans) to make your vision a reality. I admire the hustle and care she put toward getting my family and I exactly what we always wanted. She helped us obtain a dream life, not just a dream home. n nShe answered every text, call, email promptly and kept everything as real as it gets. As someone who cannot stand to be not in control of every detail, I was surprisingly relaxed and relatively stress-free throughout the entire process - the timeline of which was completely sped up. We started the process in late January 2018 with an email that said Hey, I know we can't possibly get this house because we aren't ready yet, but this is the exact house I would want... and her reply was something along the lines of Are you sure you can't get it? We closed March 1st. n nIt's not easy to manage the (sometimes unrealistic) expectations of clients, but Leslie sure makes it seem that way. It's almost a shame we found the last home we'll ever live in, because it would be a pleasure to work with Ms. Heindel again. 2018
Leslie was amazing through our entire experience. We had some special circumstances in our search for our home, and she handled everything efficiently and effortlessly. A true pro, and goes the extra mile. Highly recommended 2018
We are so glad we partnered with Leslie to buy our first home. From her First Time Homebuyers class through the day of signing, she was attentive, professional, knowledgeable, honest, and a joy to be around. Buying a house can be stressful, but it was smooth sailing with her as our agent. She gives helpful tips, checklists, advice, and check-ins along the way that none of my friends' realtors provided them during their home-buying process. n nWe're so grateful for her level of service And authentic warmth throughout the whole process. Can't say enough great things about her- especially her knowledge of the neighborhoods around the city. One thing I especially appreciated was how she tailored the listings after really getting to know us. n nIt was a fun experience and I recommend Leslie to my friends, my family, and anyone looking for a fantastic agent in Greater New Orleans! 2017
We went into our first time buying a home with little knowledge of the actual process. I usually do a ton of research even before committing to a $10 purchase on Amazon so I was expecting a head full of grey hair by the time we closed. n nLeslie made every part of the home-buying process as stress-free as it could be. She was responsive in answering our many questions answer and made us feel like there was no such thing as a stupid question (even though we had plenty of those). When inspection brought up items that were concerns, Leslie made sure those were quickly corrected before we closed. n nIn the end we are moved in to our first home and I still have all of my hair thanks to Leslie making what could have been a stressful process run as smoothly as possible. We do not plan on going through the home-buying process again any time soon but when we ever do we will not hesitate to contact Leslie as our agent. Thanks Leslie! 2017
I much enjoyed my first home buying experience, and this was all due to Leslie. She answered all of my questions, and kept up on all our deadlines with subtle reminders. She is super personable and approachable, and her friendliness made this nerve wracking experience fun and exciting. I am recommending Leslie to everyone I know! 2017
Working with Leslie was a dream. She is super communicative, advocates for your needs, and takes care of all the things a crazed buyer might overlook. She was honest with us through the whole process, making us feel empowered and confident in our choices. Plus, she's hilarious and send great gifs when you are waiting to close :) I can't recommend her services enough! 2017
Our most recent buying experience was a unique one with quite a few twists, turns and unexpected decisions to make along the way. I cannot imagine going on this wild ride with any realtor other than Leslie. She is responsive, knowledgeable, straightforward and a consummate professional. Without hesitation, I will recommend her to anyone I know looking to buy or sell a home. She'll make you feel like you're her top priority and stand true to her word every step of the way. 2017
Leslie was amazing. As a first time homebuyer I had a million questions, was a bit nervous and also had a fairly tight timeline. She was great, and made a daunting experience incredibly fun. Furthermore, she is detail oriented and responsive. I never had to wait more than a few hours to get an answer to a question and as soon as I saw a house I wanted to view she made it happen. As native New Orleanian she had the inside scoop on most everything. She is the perfect realtor for a type A person like myself! 2017

Leslie did such an amazing job through each step of the home buying process. Not only was she communicative and informative; she also was proactive and anticipated any questions that I might have or provided information that I might need. She was knowledgeable about the neighborhoods, properties, market, and had great recommendations for any other contacts that you may need during the home-buying process. Leslie is friendly and is an agent that you can clearly trust. I always felt secure knowing that she had my best interests in mind during the entire process. She helped me find my first home and held my hand every step of the way. Being a first-time home buyer, I had a lot of questions and was not familiar with the process and she definitely went out of her way to make me feel like I had enough knowledge to make informed decisions. I would recommend her to anyone and would also use her for any future real estate needs. 2017
