Helene Kurtz
Helene Kurtz has helped over 300 clients buy and sell residential real estate in the Baton Rouge area. She specializes in homes near LSU, luxury homes, and land for new residential construction. Ask her clients and they will tell you about her in-depth knowledge of the areas she serves, attention to detail, and a level of professionalism second to none. She has a keen understanding of real estate values, is a master of technology, and has a passion for excellence.
“It’s important to me to provide my clients with honest and informed advice and the highest level of customer service possible. For me, success is not only measured in the number of homes sold and the dollar value of those transactions. It’s also the number of clients who have asked me to represent them in multiple transactions and refer me to friends and family. That’s really the highest compliment a client can give.”
Helene has an undergraduate degree in Economics and a master’s degree in Business Administration from Cornell University. Previous employers include Xerox Corporation, PepsiCo, Westat (a Washington, DC consulting firm), and Woman’s Hospital. She is licensed to sell real estate in Louisiana, is a member of the Greater Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and National Associations of Realtors. In 2015 she became a member of the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing and in 2017 earned the Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist designation based on her listing and sales production in the Baton Rouge market.
Helene has lived in Baton Rouge since 1992 with her husband, Richard Kurtz, who is on the faculty at Louisiana State University and Director of LSU’s Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices (CAMD). Their son, Brian, graduated from LSU in 2012 and LSU’s Medical School in New Orleans in 2016. Their daughter, Laura, graduated from LSU’s School of Architecture in 2017. In 2020 and 2022 they welcomed grandchildren Benjamin and Jane into their family.
