Hi, I’m Lakischa Smith, and I created Living Nola and Beyond to do more than just sell houses—I help people find homes that reflect their lifestyle and personal goals. Whether you’re drawn to the vibrant streets of the French Quarter or the peaceful charm of bayou country, I bring local expertise and a deep love for New Orleans and its surrounding areas into every step of the journey.

Living Nola and Beyond is rooted in professionalism, integrity, and culture. My goal is to make sure each client feels seen, heard, and supported throughout the process. I believe that real estate is about more than property—it’s about building community, honoring history, and finding the place where you truly belong.
