"Barry is an extremely kind, hardworking agent, ever-available for showings and to help with questions. We were so grateful for his help with our home search and purchase."

"I delt mostly with Barry during the purchase of this house. I just wanted to say "Thank You." Support during the process and his customer service was excellent!"

"Darlene and Barry were provided to my wife and I during a relocation with my company. After I was notified by our relo service I was immediately contacted by Darlene and Barry who quickly began to understand our needs and provided a plan and path forward for our house hunting trip.
Please note that this is the first time my wife and I have worked with the Gurievsky Team.
My wife and I have moved 12 times during our 29 years together. When I tell you that Darlene and Barry have been the best Real Estate experience we have ever had, I believe our opinion has merit. Because of my rotational work schedule overseas, our house hunting trip was limited to 3 days, and we only were able to give the Gurievsky Team a 3-day notice of our arrival. The Team provided a detailed house hunting plan our trip, proposed homes that met our requests and a schedule that managed to view only the homes identified and then revisit homes of interest. Barry kept detailed notes on each home and reviewed our finding each day with us to ensure we were focused on the task at hand. My wife and I returned home and remotely put offers on homes that we were interested in. The Gurievsky Team represented my wife and I better than anyone we have previously delt with. The attention to detail and guidance felt as if Barry was buying the home for himself. I had full confidence in the Gurievsky Team, their recommendations and actions. Once an initial sale price was agreed to, the inspections had started, and Barry again went over and above any representation I have experienced in the past. Barry managed inspections, delt with the issues provided recommendations and ultimately resolved the issues through compensation or remediations. Being a 1,000 miles away from the area of purchase was a little unsettling at first trying to buy a home, but the Gurievsky Team handled our real estate transaction like it was their own purchase and put any uncertainties my wife and I had to rest. Truly the best Real Estate experience we ever had. The people we purchased the house from also commented to me after the closing that they wish they had used the Gurievsky Team after seeing the way Barry managed the transaction.
Great communications, knowledge of the area, understanding of the local market, experienced in relocation efforts and most importantly good people who we trusted.
Great communicators for both good and challenging news. Typically, the Gurievsky had a solution to any challenging news before the discussion with my wife and me."

"Thank you to the Gurievsky group. My experience with Kyle was a very excellent experience. He made us feel like family!"
Charlotte Montalbano (Seller) Thu, 19 Jan 2023 12:46:31 +1000
"I did research online & The Gurievsky Group had very impressive reviews from former clients. Plus they have been in the real estate business for
over thirty years & have sold many properties. After meeting with Darlene & Barry I knew that they were the realtors for me, they were very warm & friendly. I felt like I had known them my whole life. They were on top of things & always responded to me right away. Plus they sold my house in less than 7 days which was the cherry on top."

"Darlene and Barry were very responsive and this was key to us getting the property. They guided us through the entire process."
Jody Torres, New Orleans (Buyer) Wed, 14 Dec 2022 06:57:47 +1000
"Kyle Gurievsky is BY FAR the best realtor I have EVER dealt with!!! Being military we have moved about every 3 years so we have used our fair share of realtors. Kyle stands in a league of his own when it come to ever single aspect of real estate from knowledge, to timeliness, to going beyond above to make sure every question was answered, every accommodation was made, utility info, contractor recommendations, market analysis, etc. I can't even list the abundance of ways he went out of his way outside of the actual transaction to make this relocation seamless for us. It was as if I had a personal close friend I could call on for anything I needed in reference to our relocation, not just real estate needs. Stop your search now and just trust me you found him, call Kyle!!!"
Robert & Billie Myrick (Buyer) Wed, 30 Nov 2022 05:02:08 +1000

"Darlene and Barry are very skilled real estate professionals with first hand knowledge of our neighborhhood. We felt very comfortable working with Darlene and Barry, who guided us through all aspects of selling our home. We trusted their advice in a changing real estate market, and appreciated the excellent communication, advice, rapport and reassurance throughout the process. They are a pleasure to work with.

"Kim was excellent from the start of the process. We had a condo that has been listed on and off for close to two years. In that time, there were minimal showings. When Kim took our listing, she increased the local interest and there was a significant jump in showings. She was honest with us regarding her opinions In regards to listing price, need for staging, and additional factors which made a significant impact on eventually selling the unit. She was also easy to reach and dedicated to making the process smooth. We live in another state which made it difficult for us to let people into the unit for staging, electrical work, and plumbing however Kim made it a priority to meet those individuals and give them access to the unit for necessary work to be completed. She was excellent throughout the process and we would highly recommend her to anyone in the future."
Anisha Joshi (Seller) Wed, 17 Aug 2022 23:31:29 +1000

"The Gurievsky family team is the only way to go when buying or selling. I've known Kyle since childhood and I had no doubt that he was the right guy for the purchase of my first house. His knowledge of the area and the whole team's attention and expertise made the process very smooth!
I would highly recommend the Gurievsky team to anyone!"
Jason Green, Covington (Buyer) Wed, 20 Jul 2022 22:02:19 +1000

"Chris Turgeon came highly recommended by a friend whom we trust implicitly. As it turns out—this being New Orleans—he knew a lot of my friends from various circles and they all had great things to say about him.
Chris sold our house so quickly, I don’t even know if a sign was put out. We left for Texas prior to sale and Chris took care of everything for us, along with the friend who recommended him.
Chris was so incredible to work with. He put us immediately at ease and it felt like we had known him forever. He really made it seem that real estate is all about people, and understands that we were people selling our house to other people, and that it was important to us to sell to someone who would be good for the neighborhood and the neighbors we cared about for so many years.
We sold our house in 2020 and it was a very difficult time, as it was for everyone. In addition to the pandemic and the lockdown, my father had just died, we had decided to sell everything and live full-time in an RV so that we could see remaining family more, our good friend became seriously ill and needed our help in Texas, and I was dealing with my own health issues. If it wasn’t the most stressful time of our lives, it was definitely in the top three. Chris made the preparation and sale of our house as easy as it possibly could be. (He even loaned us a weed-eater when ours broke!) His willingness to work with us, and to work with our friend in New Orleans who finalized things with our house so that we could go help in Texas, was an absolute godsend. I really don’t think any of this could have happened without Chris as our realtor. His patience and empathy were every bit as important to us as his know-how and professionalism. Chris is a great person who is great at his job. My husband and I both happily recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent realtor."
Joanna Folger (Seller) Mon, 25 Apr 2022 06:33:56 +1000

"Maggie has a very good attitude toward people. She does not complain about others, doesn’t gossip. This is why she has good connections with a lot of contractors, clients and colleagues. She is trustworthy.
She is very organized and will not let her client miss a date. She takes care of her clients after they purchase the house. She makes sure they have everything they need, and that they follow up with a to-do list on the new house.
Maggie is knowledgeable in how houses are constructed. She is good in pointing out good and bad features of structures and landscaping.
She is great in negotiating the price, and knows when to negotiate and when to accept the offer. You get a sense that she really has your (the client’s) back."

They were wonderful to work with and truly care about their clients. This is evidenced through hard work, professionalism and genuine enthusiasm.
My overall experience with Scott and Bella could not have been better. I would confidently recommend their services to anyone buying or selling a home in the New Orleans area.
If there was a category higher than excellent, I would choose that one across the board. Thank you, Scott and Bella!"

"Darlene, Barry and Kyle are an excellent team to work with. We specifically used Kyle, who was incredibly patient and very thorough during the entire home buying process. The few times we saw homes with Barry and Darlene, we absolutely adored them and appreciated their knowledge and insight. Kyle was always on time, organized and professional, Although our home buying process was wild, Kyle was consistently available for questions/guidance and supportive of our decisions. We couldn’t recommend him more."

"Maggie sold my condo in New Orleans when I was looking after my stepmother who was dying of pancreatic cancer in Austin. She did everything so that I could concreat on my Stepmother. After she died, I went back to New Orleans. Maggie had found the perfect house for me before it was on the market. I had to go to London to see my disabled son who I hadn’t seen in a year. I gave Maggie power of attorney and she handled everything yet again. She is a wonderful agent. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her"

"Kyle was wonderful! Very patient in answering all of our questions as first time home buyers. He has been such a big help and I hope we can work with him again!"
Caitlin Sunseri, Abita Springs (Buyer) Wed, 28 Apr 2021 00:00:54 +1000
"When you put an offer in on a house, you never know what type of seller you are dealing with, and you never know how the inspection is going to come back. I can tell you, you don't need to worry about those unknowns when you have someone like Kyle Gurievsky representing you.
Kyle helped my family and I find the house of our dreams, but after the inspection, there were some items that we needed to be repaired, and the seller was a challenging person. Thank God we had Kyle. His in-depth industry knowledge--and willingness to represent our family well--destressed the entire situation and enabled us to negotiate to a fair closing position and close on an amazing house.
In a world of imperfect houses and imperfect sellers, you want an agent like Kyle Gurievsky in your corner.
P.S. I also found him to be a great guy; which is important for someone with whom you are going to spend hours looking at houses :-)"
Matthew Sterling (Buyer) Mon, 19 Apr 2021 22:24:55 +1000

Top, quality service, and they always go above and beyond."
Ben, Fort Lauderdale, FL (Buyer) Thu, 08 Apr 2021 01:57:51 +1000
"Suzy is very easy going yet very detail oriented. Suzy tracked each step of the sale to completion. As out of town owners, we were especially pleased with Suzy's representation of the of our property."
Don & Dorothy Lagarde (Seller) Wed, 10 Feb 2021 06:32:10 +1000
"We were moving from New York so had no real knowledge of the area, and we needed someone who could go the extra step to find us information we couldn’t find ourselves on the internet. It was immediate from the first phone call with Suzy that she goes above and beyond to find out information on every house we were interested in - from driving by the houses and neighborhood and asking trusted colleagues their input and advice. We were IMMEDIATELY impressed with Suzy for doing this. The other 2 brokers we were considering basically just sent us links which we could find ourselves. Suzy was immensely helpful in her background recon!!
We are so grateful to Suzy for many things, but 2 that stick out are 1. Her guidance for us to stay in a certain pocket of uptown that she sensed would be most enjoyable for us as a young family. Since we didn’t know the area well, we very heavily relied on Suzy to help us on this front and she 100% nailed it. We’ve been in our house for 4 months and probably daily talk about how much we love our street and our surrounding few blocks and we probably would have been pulled elsewhere if not for Suzy. We really could not be happier with our neighborhood and know that if we were with another real estate agent who was looking for a quick sell we likely wouldn’t have ended up where we are. 2. Suzy made the inspection and closing process so seamless. She recommended the inspector, title company, and plumber, and oversaw every part of the process to make sure it went smoothly. This was extremely helpful for us and made an ordinarily stressful time feel seamless.
Suzy was extremely professional, always on time, always communicative. Any time we were excited about a house she gathered intel same day, and if the house was a good option we were often one of the first people to view. We are also grateful that Suzy pointed out flaws in certain houses that we would literally never have noticed, and encouraged us not to settle and keep looking for something perfect. It really made us feel like Suzy wasn’t in a rush and truly wanted us to find the best possible house no matter how long it took. We never felt rushed and we knew that we could trust Suzy to tell us her real professional opinions which was so helpful since this was our first house purchase and we had no idea what to even look for! Suzy was very knowledgeable about the quality of homes - for example I feel like she could see water damage on floors from a mile away!!
We love Suzy and would recommend her to anyone! If we ever have any future real estate needs we will not hesitate to give her a call."
Caitlin V., New Orleans (Buyer) Mon, 08 Feb 2021 14:32:34 +1000
"Suzy Neal is the most professional realtor that we have had the opportunity to work with in 30+ years of selling personal residences. She is a high integrity agent looking out for her clients. Suzy is always accessible by cell phone or text and returns all correspondence promptly. Suzy is the agent to select to sell your home!"
Eric Seals, Covington, LA (Seller) Sat, 06 Feb 2021 11:14:59 +1000
"I can fully recommend John Weaver as a Realtor. We were able to sell our property and then used John to help in the purchase of another property. Everything was handled in a timely and professional manner. Thank you John!"
David, New Orleans (Seller) Wed, 03 Feb 2021 02:36:39 +1000
"We were fortunate in that we got the consummate real estate professional with our agent. The agent that we chose, Suzy Neal, far surpasses any agent we've ever worked with. Her immediate responsiveness to every inquiry/need that we had, local market knowledge, ability to connect with other agents, vast knowledge of the real estate market, and willingness to use social media to help to sell our home 45 miles away when she had no connection to the listing agency or the area, are just some of the qualities this agent has. We absolutely loved working with her. Her knowledge of who to call to do construction work, flooring, etc., made her an invaluable resource to us. She is genuine and personable, too, and we always felt that she had our interests at heart. Her keen eye for detail and her vision of 'what could be' in our new home was invaluable. Undoubtedly her advice has set us up to one day sell our home for a profit. We encourage everyone to give this agent an opportunity sell/purchase your next home."
Frank and Sharon Smode, Covington, LA (Buyer) Tue, 02 Feb 2021 03:26:40 +1000
"Suzy was great to work with and her knowledge of the neighborhood was especially helpful. She did much more than being our realtor.
Introduced us to neighbors, had a party for us and now a new friend."
Kerry Drake Covington (Buyer) Mon, 01 Feb 2021 13:05:55 +1000
"Suzy Neal did a terrific job from A to Z. She helped us to get our home in tip top shape -- and then she priced it just right. And through out, her number one concern was understanding our needs and concerns. The house was under contract within 28 hours of being listed -- and the closing could not have gone smoother. We were to blessed to have Suzy Neal as our agent."
Ginny and Jim Kelly, Birmingham, Alabama (Seller) Sat, 30 Jan 2021 10:12:43 +1000
"Our realtor, Brett Engert went above and beyond for us! His attention to detail and prompt responses made purchasing our first home a wonderful experience! I recommend him because he’s down to earth, knowledgeable, and professional. He exceeded our expectations in a realtor! We couldn’t have asked for a better first time home buying experience!"
Holly Massetti, Belle Chasse (Buyer) Sat, 30 Jan 2021 02:52:26 +1000
"They were always available and listened to my concerns.
They brought in a second opinion for providing the square footage of the house. When the first set of photos were not to Brett's liking, he brought in a second photographer. They helped keep me motivated to get the property ready for sale and with the pandemic looming, I am certainly glad they did!"
Jeannie Radosta, Gretna, LA (Seller) Thu, 14 Jan 2021 11:07:16 +1000
"John and Jennifer were completely amazing and a joy to work with. I have never had such a wonderful experience as with this duo! Thank you so much!"
