From start to finish, David was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping me achieve my real estate goals.

He was always available to answer questions, explain options, and advocate for my best interests. His attention to detail and proactive communication made what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, I highly recommend David Ernst and the ListingNOLA team. If you’re looking for a realtor who is experienced, trustworthy, and truly cares about his clients, David is the person to call. Thank you, David, for your professionalism and dedication.

He was recommended by a friend in the industry. He knows the market, knows construction. He is very intelligent, I really feel like he wanted the best for me as if we where family. I grew to trust him and appreciate him very quickly and would recommend him to anyone and everyone! He had his contractor fix things , got the locks fixed in a pinch, electrician…he took care of it and quickly. I don’t plan on selling anymore property in the near future but would definitely hire him again without hesitation. He is excellent and great under pressure….calmed me and listened me me and got me a great price!

I cannot recommend David Ernst highly enough. As the Administrator of an estate, I was responsible for selling a property while navigating the legal, financial, and emotional challenges that come with losing a loved one. From our first conversation through the sale process, David consistently exceeded my expectations. His communication was exceptional. He was responsive, proactive, and available whenever issues arose—not just during traditional business hours. In fact, David secured a buyer for the property before it was ever formally listed on the market, which speaks volumes about his market knowledge, preparation, and professional network. As a former real estate agent myself, I am familiar with the industry, terminology, and transaction process. Even so, David took the time to explain the nuances, requirements, and differences specific to Louisiana practice and local customs. He never assumed I knew something simply because I had prior experience, and he always made sure I understood the practical and legal implications of each decision. What impressed me most was that every recommendation, conversation, and negotiation reflected a genuine commitment to protecting the Estate's interests. I never felt pressured toward a particular outcome. Instead, I felt I had a trusted advisor who was carefully balancing strategy, professionalism, and fiduciary responsibility. Just as importantly, David showed tremendous compassion during a difficult period of grief and estate administration. He understood that this was not simply a real estate transaction. His kindness, patience, sense of humor, and steady guidance made a challenging process significantly easier to navigate. David is also supported by an outstanding team whose professionalism and responsiveness enhanced every aspect of the transaction. Together, they created a seamless experience from start to finish. If you are looking for a realtor with exceptional communication skills, deep market knowledge, unwavering professionalism, and genuine care for his clients, I recommend David without hesitation. — Administrator, Estate of Mauricio Gabriel Burgos
