About Cameron

Before real estate, I helped the world's largest companies tell their story

Before real estate, I spent more than 20 years helping some of the world's largest companies tell their stories. Working in marketing and communications for Fortune 100 organizations taught me how much the right message matters. I bring that same discipline to every home I represent.

I'm a Broadmoor resident restoring my own 1920s bungalow, so I understand firsthand the craftsmanship and responsibility that come with a historic New Orleans home. For more than two decades I've been fascinated by the architecture, neighborhoods, and culture that define this city — the century-old shotgun, the Creole cottage, the classic Uptown double-gallery. Each one has a story, and telling it well is most of the work.

A perfect Saturday looks like coffee in Broadmoor, a few hours in the garden, then wandering estate sales and historic blocks to study the renovations and architecture that make the city what it is. The day ends with good food, good conversation, and the easy joy of life you only find here. That's the New Orleans I help people find their place in — backed by Keller Williams Realty New Orleans.

What I Do

Built for sellers, buyers, and real estate investors

New Orleans isn't one market — it's dozens of micro-markets, and each property needs its own plan. Here's where I focus, and how I position a home so it stands out to the right buyer or tenant.

Sellers

Marketing that earns attention

I start with what makes your home different — its architecture, history, and neighborhood — then build a strategy around that story: professional photography, thoughtful descriptions, targeted digital promotion, and broad agent outreach so the right buyers actually see it.

Buyers

The right block, not just the right house

I help buyers understand the lifestyle and neighborhood that come with a home, not only the square footage. We start with your goals, preferred neighborhoods, budget, and timeline so you can move through the market efficiently and with confidence.

Landlords

Expert rental property marketing

For owner-occupied duplexes and rental portfolios, I treat a lease like a marketing challenge to solve: competitive pricing, rental criteria, professional photography and video, listing syndication, and direct outreach to prospective renters to reduce vacancy time.

My Marketing Approach

It starts with understanding the home's story

Every property is different — especially in New Orleans, where architecture, history, and neighborhood character drive a buyer's decision. I identify what makes a property unique, develop a marketing strategy around it, and present it in a way that resonates with the right buyers.

The goal is simple: make sure your home stands out in a crowded market and reaches the widest possible audience of qualified buyers.

How I Work

The first 24 hours are about listening

The first day is about listening, understanding your goals, and building a strategy. Whatever the transaction, you should leave that first conversation with a clear plan, realistic expectations, and a partner who's already moving.

Step 01

Listen first

I start by learning what success looks like for you and identifying any unique considerations around the property or the transaction. The plan is built around your goals — not a template.

Step 02 · Sellers

Evaluate & position

We assess the home, discuss pricing strategy, review market conditions, and pin down what makes the property stand out. I begin a marketing plan immediately — photography, messaging, digital promotion, and a timeline to market.

Step 02 · Landlords

Price & Market

We look at the property's rental potential, rental criteria, pricing strategy, and leasing goals — then position it competitively to quickly fill vacancies.

Step 02 · Buyers

Map the search

We clarify your goals, preferred neighborhoods, budget, and timeline so we can navigate the market efficiently. I make sure you understand the buying process and what to expect as we move forward.

Where I Work

Five New Orleans neighborhoods I know block by block

Generic marketing and generic advice rarely work here. Understanding the story of a neighborhood is often just as important as understanding the square footage of a home.

Broadmoor

Historic architecture, a strong sense of community, and an unbeatable central location.

This is home for me — I'm restoring my own 1920s bungalow here, so I know the neighborhood from the inside out. Broadmoor sits right in the geographic heart of the city, which makes almost everything a short drive: Uptown, Mid-City, the universities, and downtown are all within easy reach.

The housing stock is what draws people in — Craftsman bungalows, raised-basement homes, Spanish-revival cottages, and double shotguns, many from the 1910s through the 1930s. Prices generally run from the $250s into the $500s depending on condition and how much restoration has been done, which makes it one of the better values for buyers who want character without an Uptown price tag.

Broadmoor rewards owners who care about a home's history. It's a neighborhood of people who walk their dogs, know their neighbors, and take pride in bringing old houses back to life. If you want a central address, a real community, and a home with a story, this is one of the most compelling places in New Orleans to land.

Uptown New Orleans

Tree-lined streets, historic architecture, and a rare blend of character and everyday livability.

Uptown New Orleans is one of the city's most iconic and desirable neighborhoods, known for its tree-lined streets, historic architecture, and strong sense of community. The area features an extraordinary mix of homes, from grand Greek Revival and Victorian residences to charming shotguns, Creole cottages, and early 20th-century bungalows.

Residents enjoy walkable access to neighborhood restaurants, coffee shops, parks, and the shops and streetcar line along Magazine Street and St. Charles Avenue. For many buyers, Uptown offers a rare combination of historic character, architectural beauty, and everyday livability, making it one of the most sought-after places to call home in New Orleans.

Irish Channel

Rich history, colorful architecture, and old New Orleans character in a walkable setting.

The Irish Channel runs between Magazine Street and the river, tucked just below the Garden District — close enough to share the oaks and the streetcar, but with its own working-class roots and unmistakable personality. You'll find brightly painted shotguns, Creole cottages, and Victorian doubles standing shoulder to shoulder on narrow blocks.

It's one of the most walkable parts of the city. Magazine Street's restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques are a few steps away, and the river and Crescent Park are close by. That walkability, plus the density of historic homes, keeps demand strong and steady.

Pricing typically lands between the low $400s and the high $800s, with renovated singles and income-producing doubles at the top of the range. The Channel suits buyers who want character and a true neighborhood feel — and it's a strong spot for owner-occupied duplexes, where one side helps carry the mortgage while you live in the other.

Garden District

An extraordinary collection of historic homes and a chance to preserve the city's architectural treasures.

The Garden District is New Orleans at its most iconic: live oaks arching over the St. Charles streetcar line, cast-iron fences, and grand Greek Revival and Italianate mansions set back on manicured lots. It's a National Historic Landmark district, and that protection is a big part of why it feels timeless.

Homes here are architectural statements — many built in the mid-to-late 1800s by merchants and planters — and they trade accordingly, generally from the high six figures into the millions for the landmark properties. Restoration is often part of the equation, which is exactly the kind of work I love being part of.

This is a neighborhood for buyers who value preservation and provenance as much as square footage. Whether you're acquiring a showpiece or thoughtfully restoring one, my job is to understand the home's history and market it to the narrow, discerning audience that appreciates it. The walkability to Magazine Street and the streetcar only adds to the appeal.

Bywater

Creative energy, an eclectic mix of historic homes, and distinctive architectural gems.

Downriver from the Marigny, the Bywater is where the city's creative spirit is most visible — painted cottages, murals, galleries, and some of the best independent restaurants and music in town. The architecture is a mix of Creole cottages, shotguns, and the occasional larger Victorian, often on deep lots with room for a garden or a studio out back.

It's a neighborhood that rewards imagination. Many homes are candidates for thoughtful renovation, and buyers here tend to value originality over polish. Prices generally run from the mid $300s to the mid $700s, depending on condition, lot size, and proximity to Crescent Park and St. Claude.

The Bywater suits artists, entrepreneurs, and anyone who wants a home with personality and a walkable, bike-friendly lifestyle. For sellers, that creative character is the story — and telling it well is what separates a listing that lingers from one that draws a crowd.

Why Work With Me

You're not hiring me to post a listing — you're hiring a strategy

A landlord once called the Brokerage asking for an aggressive agent to lease a duplex in St. Roch. They were worried about vacancy and how fast we could find a qualified tenant. Rather than put it on the MLS and wait, I built a full plan: professional photography, a video walkthrough, syndication, social promotion, agent outreach, and direct engagement with renters.

I stayed in close communication the whole way, adjusted the approach when it needed adjusting, and focused on solving the problem rather than just advertising the property. After we secured a tenant, the owner told me the proactive approach was exactly why they'd chosen me — I'd treated the property as a marketing challenge to solve, not another listing to post.

That's the through-line in everything I do. Clients hire me to create a strategy, execute it professionally, and stay actively engaged until the job is done.

  • 02Proactive, not passive. A real plan with a timeline — photography, messaging, promotion, and outreach from day one.
  • 03Hyperlocal knowledge. Broadmoor, Uptown, the Irish Channel, the Garden District, and Bywater, understood block by block.
  • 04Clear communication. You'll always know where things stand and what comes next.
  • 05Backed by KW New Orleans. The resources of an established, family-owned brokerage behind every transaction.

What I Believe

New Orleans isn't one real estate market. It's dozens of micro-markets.

Broadmoor, Uptown, Carrollton, the Irish Channel, the Garden District, and the Bywater all attract different buyers for different reasons. Generic marketing and generic advice rarely work here. Understanding the story of a neighborhood is often just as important as understanding the square footage of a home — and pricing, presentation, and outreach should all change from one block to the next.

That conviction shapes every plan I build. The right strategy in the Garden District is the wrong strategy in the Bywater, and treating them the same is how good homes get overlooked.

Questions, Answered

The things people ask me first

What makes my home stand out?

That's one of my favorite questions, because every New Orleans home has a story. Whether it's the architecture, the history, the renovation work, or the lifestyle a neighborhood offers, I help clients identify what makes their property unique and then build a marketing strategy around that story. The goal is to reach the widest possible audience of qualified buyers and make sure the home doesn't get lost in a crowded market.

What is my home really worth?

That's usually the first question sellers ask, and the answer is often more nuanced than an online estimate. I look at recent comparable sales, current competition, neighborhood trends, and the unique characteristics of your property to determine where it fits in today's market. In many cases, how a home is presented and marketed can influence the outcome just as much as the pricing strategy itself.

My home didn't sell with another agent. What will you do differently?

Every situation is different, but I start by looking at the entire buyer experience—from the first photo online to the showing itself. My background in marketing has taught me that the best homes don't always sell first; often, the best-marketed homes do. My goal is to identify what may have been holding the property back and build a strategy that better aligns with how today's buyers are shopping.

Is now a good time to buy an investment property in New Orleans?

Some of the best investment opportunities appear when others are sitting on the sidelines. While every property needs to be evaluated on its own merits, I'm seeing opportunities in neighborhoods where values have softened, inventory has increased, or owner-occupied duplexes can provide a path to building long-term wealth. The key is buying the right property, not waiting for the perfect market.
