NEW ORLEANS – (Sept. 21, 2007) – As the national real-estate market is struggling, New Orleans has its own bumps and trends due to Hurricane Katrina and its rebuilding efforts. Even though New Orleans has some struggling moments, Eleanor Farnsworth, with Prudential Gardner, Realtors, can testify from her perspective that the city has been star-struck since the hurricane. We are happy to report that Eleanor has had a wonderful and exciting year filled with some fabulous clients and sales.All areas of New Orleans that Eleanor specializes in are selling, including the French Quarter. Her year started off with a bang when she sold a French Quarter Palace to two of Hollywood’s biggest movie stars, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.New Orleans Saints Quarterback Drew Brees purchased her listing on Audubon Street, just a block from the park where he can be seen exercising often. Chris Paul, star guard for the Hornets basketball team purchased a gorgeous double unit at One River Place, the ultimate in luxury condo buildings, overlooking the Mississippi River. Paul said he fell in love with the unit and the building after seeing his friend, Reggie Bush’s (of the Saints) double unit which he bought a few months before.Eleanor just sold Grammy Award-winning Jazz musician, Terence Blanchard’s gorgeous Garden District home. Terence can be seen splashed across many magazine covers today for his newest album, and his work scoring movies and documentaries. Terence and his wife, Robin, also purchased a home from Eleanor on renowned St. Charles Avenue, which they are currently renovating.This week she listed a one-of-a-kind home on Audubon Place, the only gated community in New Orleans across from Audubon Park. It is a spectacular Michael Carbine renovation listed at $4.5 million.Eleanor is staying very busy with her other listings and clients (all as important to her as the ones noted), which seem to grow by the week.  You can view any of her wonderful listings on Luxury Real Estate.
