Get to know Leslie Heindel, REALTOR®

As a fifth-generation New Orleanian, Leslie is a native that knows her city’s neighborhoods like the back of her hand. She can tell you how the city has changed, how it will continue to change, and why we only eat king cake during Carnival season. Leslie understands that when New Orleans touches your soul, you have finally found where you belong. 

Dynamic, resourceful, smart, and entertaining, Leslie loves problem-solving and will go to the mat to get her clients what they want and need. She loves the moment in real estate when she knows her clients have found the “one,” and oftentimes, she knows it before they do! Her past client references speak volumes about the level of care she gives long after the transaction is done. As a matter of fact, once she is a part of your life, consider it forever. 

“Off” time is rare for Leslie; she uses downtime to thrive in other areas of real estate, such as writing her very informative & helpful blog posts, creating fun quizzes, promoting local businesses, and connecting people. When she does take time off, she indulges in her wanderlust and travels as often as possible, collects shih Tzus, enjoys bird watching, cat stalking, and dog petting. She is extremely passionate about old bathrooms that others may consider ugly and Mid-Century Modern homes.

Get to know Heather Shields, REALTOR®

Heather grew up in Richmond, VA, but over 10 years ago, her “1/3 life crisis” led her to New Orleans. She fell in love with the architecture, history, and the neighborhoods, and eventually, with Algiers Point. She has spent the last several years renovating her home there, preserving its historical elements. Ask her what she loves most about New Orleans, and she’ll tell you about its unique, tight-knit neighborhoods where kids ride bikes, people enjoy life, and everybody is up in everybody’s business.

 

Diplomatic, detailed, and resourceful, Heather enjoys helping her clients make big life changes. She loves that her job gives her a peek into the story of homes – all the life that has happened and will happen for the next owners. She especially likes working with clients who have a vision for what a property could be.

 

When she’s not at work, you’ll find Heather at festivals or being a tourist in her own town. She is a wanna-be gardener, photographer, art collector, avid front porch sitter, aspiring roller-skater, and street dance party starter. She serves on the board of the Algiers Point Association.
