Michelle Smith

I've been all about houses since I was little. I've leased apartments all around Dallas when I was fresh out of high school, and spent some time in the retail furniture sales world. Then I went to Interior Design school, worked in a very high-end tile and stone showroom with clients like Donald Trump. Now I am a licensed Realtor with Dorian Bennett Sotheby's International Realty in New Orleans, Louisiana. I like retail real estate, but my passion lies with saving blighted buildings, so that's where I really want to focus my energies. New Orleans (and other cities, too!) has so many beautiful old buildings that need love. I just want to save them all! I grew up in Dallas where older buildings were torn down without a second thought. This always bothered me to the core. I know these buildings have value, were built to last, and with a little help can come back. I'm here to make that happen.
