Client Testimonials

At Upper Management, our focus is our clients. Our team will work with you to make sure the process - whether it is buying, renting, selling, or managing - is both easy and enjoyable. Check out some of our client experiences below.

"A fun and exciting process!"

We used Olivia at Upper Mgmt Realty to purchase our first home. Everyone always says, buying a house is one of the most stressful times in your life, well I’m here to refute that statement, because Upper Mgmt Realty made it a fun and exciting process! Olivia was so flexible with showings and was able to pinpoint exactly what we were looking for. And now we’re in our dream home!!! We hope to purchase again in the future, and know exactly who we will use!

- C. Hoffman, Buyer

"Dream team"

"The Upper Management team is a dream team. The rental is top notch. Restored by a creative and highly skilled architect. It a treasure. The manager, Cindy is professional, yet warm and friendly. The team is quickly responsive for all requests for repairs. Thank you, Upper Management for making my life easier during these stressful times."

- M. Smart, Tenant

"10 out of 10!"

My fiancé and I rented a place in New Orleans from Melaina Ricks and she was amazing! She was always ready to be on premise to video chat whenever we wanted to check anything out. Renting from far away is always rough but she made us feel super comfortable and welcome. No question was a stupid question for her (and believe me, we had our fair share) and she was always smiling, helpful, lovely, and professional. 10 out of 10!

- D. Orlando, Tenant

"I will never go back"

Great company! Always quick to respond to their tenants needs and resolve any issues right away. When I first moved in they were very helpful with anything I needed done or fixed. Would literally be there the next day taking care of it. This is my first apartment I have lived in that is ran by a company rather than the owner themselves and I now will never go back. Everything has been so much easier and I am so happy I found my apartment when I did to be able to work with Upper Management Realty. Olivia and Cindy are the best!

- J. Moore, Tenant

"Highly recommend"

We relocated to New Orleans for work rather quickly, and had very little knowledge of the rental market. I am so grateful we went with this reputable company. We have been with them for nearly two years, and I have to say the staff is friendly, helpful, and the client portal is easy to use. They are always prompt with repairs (within 24hours). I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to rent in the New Orleans area.

- J.L., Tenant

"Need I say anything more?"

We've rented from Upper Management Realty for several years now, and Bernard has been one of the most helpful and responsive landlords I've ever met. Over the years, he's put a lot of TLC in to his buildings, and we truly appreciate his dedication.

During Hurricane Isaac a couple years back, he even drove over their generator when almost the whole city lost power- need I say anything more?

- S. Huang, Tenant

"5 stars across the board"

I've rented both offices and apartments from Upper Management Realty continuously since late 2011.

My experience with Bernard and his team have been nothing but positive and I've recommended their company to several friends who have all become satisfied tenants as well.

In New Orleans, it's a challenge to find attentive landlords who not only care about their properties but also their tenants... at Upper Management Realty you have just that. 5 stars across the board.

- R. Chavez, Tenant

"Top notch!"

We have leased our studio space from Upper Management Realty for the past 3 years and everyone has been great! Bernard and his team are top notch! Keep it up guys.
