Rêve Realtors: Celebrating Our 4th Anniversary

Since I founded Rêve Realtors in October 2018 alongside Joey Walker, Clint LaCour, and Ryan Wentworth, the company has quickly and steadily grown beyond our wildest dreams. To our delight, Rêve Realtors hit #1 in market share in Orleans Parish in 2020 – and that’s a spot we still hold today, on our 4th anniversary. With 128 agents on board to date, we work together tirelessly to help clients realize their dreams, develop deep relationships in the community we’re so fortunate to serve, and foster a culture of real collaboration and respect.

My Role as a Partner

As one of the four founders, I’m the sponsoring broker, help manage the company, and recruit new agents. In addition, I work with all of my own clients to help them make smart decisions when it comes to buying, selling and investing in real estate. My schedule is hectic, but I wouldn’t have it any other way – and I thrive on the fast pace of it all. I’m grateful to have three amazing partners who’ve helped the company flourish, and I’m looking forward to many more celebratory anniversaries to come.

Building Our Community

A huge part of our commitment to New Orleans and our local community involves giving back, and we’re always looking for ways to support the people and non-profits that make a difference in this city. Whether it’s through donations, volunteering, or taking leadership roles, our agents are showing up  -- and several have either founded or play a significant role in organizations that do tremendous good in the Greater New Orleans area.

The Amazing Non-Profits We Support

Here are a just a few of the worthy organizations that we’ve supported so far in 2022 – through donations, volunteering, events, and leadership:

Coalition To Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL) has a mission that’s near and dear to our hearts, and that’s to preserve and restore our Louisiana wetlands. Through innovation and community, CRCL has reduced shoreline erosion by 50%.

YEP (Youth Empowerment Project) engages young people through community-based education, mentoring, employment readiness, and enrichment programming to help them develop skills and strengthen ties to family and community. Annually, they serve 800 youth participants, pair 2300 youth with adult mentors, offer high school equivalency test preparation, and offer after-school programs.

Launching in 2006, SBP was able to help St. Bernard Parish successfully rebuild after Hurricane Katrina. Since then, the organization has grown from a small three-person volunteer team into a nationwide disaster recovery corporation with over 130,000 volunteers. A leader in the industry, they’ve been able to help over 2000 families across the world.
