Bert Brown
Owner/Sponsoning Broker
For over 20 years, Bert has been deeply committed to learning and expanding his knowledge of the Greater New Orleans real estate market. His career began with Howard Schmalz and Associates, where he started by showing apartments for Howard Schmalz. Throughout his time with Howard, Bert steadily advanced from part-time apartment showings to becoming a full agent and property manager. As a property manager, Bert gained invaluable experience in the repair and maintenance of New Orleans homes and rental properties.
He worked closely with Howard until April 2015, when Howard retired. That same year, Bert founded Bert Brown and Associates Real Estate LLC, naming the company after the iconic banana leaf sign as a tribute to his mentor. Since then, Bert has worked tirelessly to uphold the high standards set by Howard, while growing his business to heights greater than ever before.
