Kiersten Leflore is a native New-Orleanian and former ballerina who no longer dons her pointe shoes but saves her dancing for the closing table.
With a background in Communication Sciences Disorders and a degree from Baylor University, she’s expanded her clientele to not only service the hearing-impaired but also assisting buyer clients in the home-owning process. When she’s not scouring the internet for the latest new music or amusing memes, she’s keeping up with real estate housing trends or researching property for her clients.
She knows New Orleans almost as well as her adventure-seeking cat, who’s gone missing for months at a time before managing to find her way back home no less than three times.
Pre-Covid, you could catch her in the audience at a local comedy show. These days, she can be found in her backyard doing yoga, hanging out with the neighborhood peacock, or having an in-depth personal conversation with the corner store clerk.
