About me

With a passion for New Orleans’ historic real estate, I have been a dedicated Associate Broker/Realtor serving the New Orleans community since 1983. After many years with Latter & Blum Realtors, I am excited to continue my career with Ricci Real Estate, bringing decades of experience, local knowledge, and a genuine commitment to my clients.

I laid the foundation for my career at the University of New Hampshire, where I majored in business/hotel administration. This educational background equipped me with a strong business acumen which I successfully used in my career with Hilton Hotels Corporation, having worked in Boston, Washington, D. C., NYC, Chicago, Denver, Madison, WI, and Arlington, IL (suburb of Chicago at the Hilton adjacent the Arlington Race Track). Leaving the hotel industry, I moved to New Orleans where I entered the dynamic world of real estate.

Over the years, I have not only witnessed the evolution of the real estate market but have actively contributed to its growth. My extensive experience has made me a trusted advisor for clients seeking to buy or sell historic properties in the heart of New Orleans. My job is to guide buyers and sellers through the intricacies of viewing properties meeting their needs goals, providing comparables justifiying the price, negotiating the contract, moving through the inspection stage, directing buyers to insurance carriers and title companies...all this to reach the goal of a sale with satisfied buyers and sellers.

Being a true connoisseur of the city's rich architectural heritage, I bring a unique perspective to every transaction...whether it's a French Quarter gem, a Marigny/Bywater Victorian mansion or Creole cottage, a condo in the Warehouse District, property on Algiers Point...I possess an intimate knowledge of the diverse neighborhoods that make New Orleans one of a kind.

Beyond my professional achievements, I am known for my commitment to client satisfaction, integrity, and attention to detail. My success is not just measured in transactions but in the lasting relationships I build with clients who entrust me with their most significant investments.

In a career spanning several decades, I continue to thrive in the ever-changing real estate landscape. My dedication to excellence, coupled with a genuine love for the unique charm of New Orleans, sets me apart as a respected figure in the industry.

When I'm not busy negotiating deals or exploring new listings, you'll likely find me immersed in the cultural tapestry of New Orleans, enjoying the city's culinary delights, relaxing with a good book, watching over my colorful plants and landscaping at home, or caring for my cats who I've taken in from their former lives fending for themselves on the New Orleans streets.

WHAT MY CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

Lane is the best. We looked at a billion houses until we found what we wanted. He made the inspection and mortgage process almost painless. And after the settlement he made sure everything was as we expected. This was our second purchase plus one sale with Lane
Ed Collins
"Lane was a joy to work with. His expertise in the Bywater was critical to help us find our new home. While we weren't new to home-buying, Lane's advice and contacts made the process easier than it's ever been. I'd work with Lane again in a heartbeat."
Ian S.
" Lane Lacoy is known as the best realtor in Marigny/Bywater for many reasons: he has a long history in the neighborhood, he knows the market better than anyone, and he's honest, realistic, careful, dependable, and professional.

"My recent professional association with Lane could not have been more rewarding. I was the owner of a troubled piece of property in the Marigny that I needed to sell during this current period of serious challenges (high mortgage rates/high insurance rates) for the real estate market. From his first"

Megan B.
"Lane Lacoy sold us our house in the Marigny, New Orleans, some 13 years ago - and he sold it for us when we recently moved! Knowing the house well proved a blessing, as he was able to find us a purchaser who would love and appreciate its character as much as we have, despite a very flat market, especially for a house that had not been gutted and modernized inside, but had kept its original... read more

"Lane was an absolute pleasure! He was extremely helpful throughout the entire sale process, keeping us updated on all activities along the way. I'd definitely work with Lane again. Thank you!!"
Eric D.
"My career was acquiring telecommunications real estate so I knew the inherently emotional challenges of selling and buying my own homes. I sought out Lane because he represented a seller's home I unsuccessfully tried to purchase because Lane impressed me with his objective assessments of value. Now working for me, he regularly told me "no" when I needed to check my impulses and "yes" when it was... read more
