Specialties

Michelle specializes in working with first-time buyers, sellers, and relocation clients throughout Greater New Orleans and the surrounding area. With a background in interior design and historic preservation, she has a particular strength in historic properties and can help buyers assess renovation potential with a trained eye. She also works with buyers purchasing completed new construction, where she brings important guidance on Louisiana's builder warranty requirements and the critical distinction between reputable builders and one-off investors who may not honor their obligations. Whether you are buying your first home, selling a longtime property, or making a move from out of state, Michelle brings the expertise and hands-on guidance to make the process straightforward.

About Michelle

Michelle LaBanca is a licensed Associate Broker with Compass and a consistent top producer in the Greater New Orleans market. Her background in interior design and historic preservation shapes how she approaches every transaction, whether a client is stepping into homeownership for the first time, relocating to the city, searching for a piece of New Orleans history, or building new from the ground up.


That combination matters in a market like this. New Orleans is a city of character, craftsman detail, and real renovation potential. Michelle's design background and fluency with historic properties let her see what a home is capable of, reading the details that others overlook. For buyers, that translates to more confident decisions. For sellers, it means every listing is positioned to show its full potential and move at the strongest possible price.


As an Associate Broker, Michelle has gone beyond what most agents pursue. The credential requires passing the broker's examination and completing a higher level of education than the standard real estate license, a distinction that reflects the depth of knowledge and professional commitment she brings to every client relationship.


She holds the Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR) and Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE) designations. A graduate and former mentor of the Loyola Women's Leadership Academy, she is committed to investing in the next generation of women leaders in the New Orleans community.


Outside of real estate, Michelle is a true New Orleans enthusiast. Her travels have taken her to Tokyo, Indonesia, Cuba, and Mexico. She takes Mardi Gras seriously (costumes included) and can usually be found at a festival, a fundraiser, or anywhere there is a reasonable chance of running into a dog.
