Request April Brown, Broker/Owner of Hospitality Realty, through Eaton. Her public profile shows 22+ years of experience, 800+ clients helped and $144M+ in real estate sales.
Free inquiry. Eaton receives your request first. The 1% is the listing-side fee; buyer-agent compensation and other selling costs are separate and negotiable.
Why this option stands out
Many discount-realtor sites collect your information first and then decide which agent to match. Here, you can ask for April by name. Eaton receives the inquiry, confirms the property and current terms, and then arranges the introduction if the fit makes sense.
Hospitality Realty publicly markets full-service listing representation at a 1% listing-side fee. April’s official profile says customized marketing may include professional photography, drone imagery, floor plans, digital advertising, social media, open houses and negotiation.
April’s public profile says she has been licensed in Louisiana since 2004 and reports 73 five-star Google reviews, along with experience across New Orleans, Metairie and surrounding communities.
Send the property once. Eaton keeps the inquiry organized, confirms local availability and helps you compare the proposal before you decide.
Commission math
A lower listing-side percentage can leave more of the sale proceeds with you. The examples below show the 1% listing-side math and a simple comparison at a $500,000 sale price.

New Orleans market · September 2026
Realtor.com reports that New Orleans homes spent a median 94 days on market in September 2026 and sold at roughly 97% of asking price. That makes pricing, presentation and negotiation more important—not less—when you choose a lower-fee broker.
Market source: Realtor.com Economic Research, New Orleans market overview, September 2026. Market statistics change over time and vary by property.

Local selling strategy
A 1% fee only helps if the listing strategy still fits the property. Neighborhood, architecture, condition, flood and insurance considerations, parking, renovation history and property type can materially change the buyer pool and the comparable sales that matter.
Historic architecture, renovations, parking and block-by-block differences can make broad citywide averages less useful.
Construction history, elevation, flood-related documentation and renovation scope can matter to buyer questions and pricing.
Property type, lot configuration, permitted improvements and nearby comparable sales should be separated carefully.
Price bands, housing stock and buyer demand can differ materially from Uptown and central-city neighborhoods.

NEW ORLEANS · STREET-LEVEL SELLER RESEARCH
The most useful listing comparison starts with the home’s specific neighborhood, property type and condition. Explore these well-known local pockets before asking for an address-based 1% listing proposal.
Around Magazine Street and the St. Charles Avenue corridor, cottages, duplexes and renovated houses should be compared by actual block and documented condition. Prepare renovation permits, off-street parking details and current occupancy before quoting a list price.
Near South Carrollton Avenue, Oak Street and Maple Street, older homes and converted spaces require scrutiny of the approved unit configuration and usable living area. Contrast a restored historic property with comparable renovated houses, not the entire Uptown market.
The Bayou St. John and Esplanade Avenue areas can differ substantially by block, housing age and water-related history. Present available roof, drainage, flood and insurance records along with an accurate description of the property and its renovations.
Around Royal Street and the St. Claude Avenue corridor, doubles, occupied buildings and historic properties can have unique use questions. Do not imply short-term-rental or additional-unit eligibility without current city and property-specific verification.
Lakeview streets around Harrison Avenue and West End Boulevard warrant precise comparable sales and documented repair or elevation history. Include any known flood and wind-insurance considerations in the seller discussion rather than assuming every nearby house carries the same costs.
Algiers Point’s historic houses and ferry-accessible setting form a different market from eastern Algiers subdivisions. Address property condition, parking, renovation history and route/access characteristics without extrapolating a citywide median.
Before the consultation: Provide the New Orleans address, legal unit count, repair and renovation history, known flood or elevation documents, insurance information where available, and any tenant or association obligations. Eaton receives the request before confirming April Brown’s participation and written offer.

Before your listing consultation
Share enough information for a Louisiana-licensed listing brokerage to price the work correctly. A percentage alone does not tell you whether the service fits the home.
Also compare the New Orleans metro broker guide, Metairie listing guide, and Louisiana statewide seller resources. Eaton receives your request first; local services and fees are determined in the participating brokerage’s written agreement.
See whether the 1% local listing option fits your New Orleans property before you sign anything.
