James Howell

James is a native New Orleanian, with 40 years invested in the City of New Orleans. The Big Three for me are Food, Music, and New Orleans Architecture. Having been in sales for well over 15 years, James combined his love of New Orleans living and his success in sales by working in real estate. He worked with a large realtor in town for five years, partnering with people who are determined to be part of rebuilding New Orleans. The Urban Vision team truly believes the slogan “Your Neighborhood Realtors”, and James looks forward to doing his part in bringing the Olde Neighborhoods back, most of all because it means he gets to work with old and new “cityans” of New Orleans helping to match people with the right property.

Meg Lousteau

Meg’s experience with New Orleans historic buildings and neighborhoods goes back almost 20 years. Obtaining her undergraduate degree in architectural studies from the University of Texas at Austin and a masters from the UNO College of Urban and Public Affairs, she worked at the Preservation Resource Center in the Operation Comeback department. That job and independent work involved her in the renovation of numerous houses where she saw first-hand the effects even one renovation project can have on a neighborhood. She then became the executive director of the Louisiana Landmarks Society and continued to work in preservation and neighborhood advocacy. She renovated her own house in Treme in 2004, and sits on the board of her neighborhood association, in addition to the board of the Vieux Carre Property Owners, Residents, and Associates, and is active in several other preservation committees. As a Realtor, she helps people find houses and neighborhoods that are good matches for their needs and wants, whether they be first-time buyers, renovators, or investors.

Jennifer Pearl

Jennifer is a native East Coaster, born in New York City and graduating from University of Vermont in 1985. Before even graduating, Jen was a natural business mogul who partnered with a few others to plan and launch what became a chain of 10 Bagel Works stores throughout New England, with sales of $4 million and a staff of over 150. In her role in this enterprise, Jen gathered a thorough knowledge of a huge variety of business needs, including real estate development, finance, marketing, operations, human resources, management information systems and community relations. She took a keen interest in seeing that the business grew in a socially- and environmentally-conscious manner, and continues to guide the company on the Board of Directors. Designing and building her own home in Vermont, Jen served as her own general contractor and completed the process in seven months. Jen moved south for the winter in 2002, and delighted in New Orleans’ unique architecture and culture. Since she completed her real estate license in 2004, Jen has been actively helping buyers, sellers and investors in the New Orleans area. Her business acumen is an asset for real estate investors and developers, and with a home in New England, she is keenly aware of what second home buyers look for in a property. Yet, on a personal level, her special passion is to provide a supportive environment for first time home buyers, striving to make the home buying or selling process as enjoyable and relaxing as possible. In addition to real estate, Jennifer currently teaches yoga and Pilates and is working on a non-fiction book.

Erich Weishaupt

Born in the middle of the Bible Belt in Alabama, Erich received his Bachelor's degree from Auburn University in Electrical Engineering in 1997. Shunning desk work, he signed on with an oilfield service company where he evaluated oil and gas wells in east Texas and worked approximately 80-100 hours per week. After approximately a year in East Texas I was transferred to New Orleans to do the same job in the offshore environment, and fell in love with this great city with all its festivals (including Mardi Gras!), great restaurants, and of course crawfish boils. Married to his wife Jennifer on St. Patrick's Day 2001, he continued to work offshore in the Gulf of Mexico for another couple of years while investing in real estate part time. In late 2003, he decided to focus fully on real estate, and has started two other real estate investment companies. I have fallen in love with the craftsmanship and materials that was put into these historic homes in New Orleans. When not working, he enjoys hitting the greens on the golf course and the green felt on the poker table. He and his wife returned to New Orleans re-dedicated to rebuilding New Orleans, especially due to the upcoming birth of his first son, Aidan. Since then, he’s renovated six homes since the storm and working hard to make our neighborhood better than before the storm.
