"Gary became part of the family. When my husband and I first decided that we would put our toe in the real estate waters, I knew the only person I wanted to represent us was Gary. I contacted him and from the day of that lunch meeting to the present day, Gary became our advocate, our confidante and our expert. He worked with us every step of the way and was always available to us. No question or problem was too difficult for Gary to answer or overcome. His wealth of knowledge of New Orleans, the real estate world and the construction business is amazing. Thanks to Gary we found the perfect house so unfortunately we won't need to use him again. However, he gets our endorsement from anyone who asks us about finding a realtor. He's a real gem!"

Gary is a fantastic real estate agent, and I highly recommend him for buying and selling. I’ve worked with a few different realtors over the years, and Gary definitely is my favorite. Gary was very successful in helping me buy and sell real estate.
He’s very personable and has an excellent collaborative style. He gives you his honest advice in a very respectful way. Gary can help you see whether a house is a bad fit or a goldmine. He’s super responsive, not matter the hour.
On the buyer side, Gary’s construction background and in-depth experience as an agent was incredibly helpful. Once, I was pretty interested in an house until Gary pointed out that the house had antiquated wiring. Upon further digging, the house didn’t really make financial sense. I wouldn’t have realized that without him.
On the seller side, Gary was patient, thoughtful, and a great advocate for me. It was not the easiest market when I sold, yet Gary was spot-on with his pricing recommendation. He successfully navigated the complication of having tenants in the house when I sold. His connections to other local agents and contractors proved very useful. Gary proved his negotiation skills - he advocated for me without being unnecessarily combative. He is fair and honest.
Highly recommend him!

"We thoroughly enjoyed working with Gary to find and buy a house. In addition to his vast knowledge of the real estate process, which he is able to simplify and articulate to first time homebuyers, his experience in construction and property management are indispensable benefits for his clients. We appreciated Gary's familiarity with New Orleans neighborhoods and ability to understand our vision of our future home."

Gary Lazarus is a delight to work with when buying a home in New Orleans. He is extremely knowledgeable about the neighborhoods and guided us every step of the way. He listened to what we wanted in a house and didn’t waste our time taking us to see homes which didn’t meet our criteria. Once we were interested in a home he made sure the structure was sound and made sure we knew what needed to be improved. During the bidding process and closing, Gary was our advocate. Gary is everything you want in a real estate agent.

"Gary helped my wife and me buy our first house and gave us the confidence to have fun with a process that can normally be very stressful. We found Gary to be very professional and knowledgeable about the market and the construction quality of various New Orleans properties which ensured that we found a great home at a reasonable price."

"We had a unique experience working with Gary in that we live in California and wanted to purchase or rent for our son during a three day period that we were going to be town. Gary spent an enormous amount of time on the phone with us preparing. When we arrived, he showed us everything that we could have wanted to see and was truly indifferent regarding the rent/buy decision. We bought a condo, with Gary's guidance, and could not be happier. He is a truly special person who "goes the distance" to determine the needs of the customer and does everything imaginable to satisfy the needs. We give Gary our highest recommendation."

"Gary is the sort of no nonsense professional I like to work with. He's a man of his word and follows up with details until they are complete today and not tomorrow. His route to any goal is a straight line and never circuitous. He is a very good listener and it is important to him that he understands your needs. His knowledge of New Orleans real estate and the business of real estate is vast and you would be lucky to have him represent you. I am proud to recommend him, we have an ongoing relationship that I hope will last for many years. Gary is a terrific person and family man and is easy to work with."

"As first time home buyers, my wife and I were very unfamiliar with the process of purchasing a home. From the moment we met Gary to the day we closed he was great about answering all our questions, walking us through the process and being an advocate for us. I would recommend Gary to anyone in the New Orleans area looking to purchase a home, he is a top notch agent."

Gary has many great qualities as a realtor, including his years of experience at the job and his lived reality of owning and selling many homes. But the real reason you should hire him is he can keep his cool no matter how choppy the waters; in our case, both the buyers and sellers got emotional, and Gary was the one who kept steadily guiding everyone towards the deal, reassuring all of us that we could find a compromise we could live with. Real Estate is high stress territory, and it helps to have a realtor you can count on to steady the ship.

"My husband and I moved to New Orleans with a plan. We wanted to rent for a year and then purchase our first home in the city. A little over a year has passed and our dream is now a reality. This would not have been possible without Gary. Before beginning the process, we heard horror stories of the competitive nature of buying a home in New Orleans. I can see how this might be an overwhelming experience for so many. We had it easy because we had Gary. Gary listened to our needs, wants and our (sometimes lofty) expectations. He researched appropriately and was readily available with advice. He knows the market and he knows his clients. We have moved into our happy home and the day we decide to move on, Gary will be the first to know!"

Gary Lazarus is an exceptional realtor who goes above and beyond for his clients.
I've had the privilege of working with Gary Lazarus for my real estate needs over the course of a decade and I recently closed on another smooth transaction.
Gary's commitment to transparency and honesty is what sets him apart. He consistently provides upfront advice, helping navigate the complexities of Greater New Orleans real estate with confidence.
Choosing Gary Lazarus as your realtor means partnering with someone who is not only knowledgeable and experienced but also genuinely caring and devoted to achieving the best results for you. I cannot recommend him highly enough for anyone looking for a real estate professional who truly prioritizes their clients' desires and outcomes.

Gary is a true real estate professional. He is incredibly customer service oriented and really understands the key aspects of executing a real estate transaction. He is also very patient, We were looking for a house uptown for many years for our own use until we fell upon a house for our college kids. He had no issue shifting gears, advised us on the right approach and helped bring the deal to closing. He is willing to do things outside the normal process to just support his clients. He is very responsive day and even night if needed. My wife and I could not be happier with our decision to use Gary and highly recommend him.

"It is easy to tell when you meet Gary that he genuinely enjoys his profession and brings an in-depth knowledge of the market to all of his clients. As a first time homebuyer, he encouraged me to look at properties that I may have never considered, but also listened carefully so he could refine his recommendations. Throughout the whole process, he took the time to educate me about things to look for (what was truly problematic and what was easily solveable), what to ask for during negotiations and also helped me survive everything up through the closing. Actually that's not even quite accurate. I *still* periodically call him with questions and he is consistently generous with his time and advice. I hope I don't have to look for another house for a while, but if I do, I would certainly look forward to working with him again!"
