New Orleans Real Estate with Cynthia Benbow, DVM, REALTOR®

Cyndi works on both sides of Lake Pontchartrain. Her eXp Realty, LLC office is in Metairie, and many of her clients are moving between New Orleans and the Northshore in one direction or the other.


New Orleans homes range from historic shotguns and Creole cottages to raised homes in Lakeview and newer condos downtown. Each neighborhood has its own rules and costs to check: historic district permits, flood zone and elevation, insurance, short-term rental rules, and older systems in older homes.


If you are selling in New Orleans to move to Mandeville or Covington, Cyndi can plan both sides so the timing works. If you are buying, she helps you compare total monthly cost, not just price, by getting insurance quotes and checking flood information before you write an offer.

New Orleans questions

Can Cyndi help me sell in New Orleans and buy on the Northshore?

Yes. She plans both transactions together, including timing, contingencies and interim housing if needed, so you are not carrying two homes longer than necessary.


What should I check before buying an older New Orleans home?

Flood zone and elevation, roof and wind insurance cost, electrical and plumbing age, termite history, and whether the home is in a local historic district that requires permits for exterior work.


Does Cyndi work with buyers relocating to New Orleans?

Yes. She offers live video tours and recorded walkthroughs, and coordinates inspections and closing for buyers who cannot be here in person.


Do I sign anything before touring homes with Cyndi?

Yes. Since August 2024, buyers sign a short written agreement with their agent before touring. It spells out what Cyndi will do for you and how she is paid, and the terms are negotiable. She walks you through it line by line before you sign.
