About Me | New Orleans Short-Term Rental (STR) & Investment Realtor

Hi, I’m Kayla Springer. I fell in love with New Orleans—its energy, its history, its hidden corners—and with it, the vibrant world of real estate. Today, I help buyers, sellers, and investors make the most of short-term rental (STR) opportunities, guiding them through the unique rhythm of this ever-evolving market.

Raised in St. Louis but deeply tied to Louisiana, I moved to New Orleans in 2013 for pharmacy school, never expecting that real estate would find me along the way. While studying, I spent my free time helping my husband renovate and sell homes, drawn in by the way a space could transform—and with it, the lives of the people who lived there. After earning my doctorate and working as a pharmacist for six months, I realized where my passion truly lived. Real estate had been calling me all along. I answered, and I never looked back.

Since becoming a licensed Realtor in 2018, I’ve dedicated my career to helping others navigate the unique challenges and opportunities of New Orleans real estate. I specialize in short-term rental investments, working closely with clients to find properties that not only fit their financial goals but also make sense within the city's shifting regulatory landscape. Whether it's identifying high-yield vacation rental opportunities, guiding clients through the buying and selling process, or analyzing the market for data-driven investment decisions, my approach is thoughtful, strategic, and rooted in experience.

I know that investing in STRs can feel overwhelming—the numbers, the rules, the uncertainty. But with the right strategy, it can also be incredibly rewarding. My goal is to make the process as seamless as possible, offering insights, tailored recommendations, and hands-on support so my clients feel confident every step of the way. Whether you're purchasing your first Airbnb, expanding your portfolio, or selling a high-performing STR, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and ease.

Outside of real estate, I spend my time with my husband and two kids, practicing yoga, and planning my next adventure. Travel and mindfulness are central to how I move through life, and I bring that same intentionality into my work—helping others find not just a property, but a place that aligns with their vision.

New Orleans is a city of endless possibility, and I’d love to help you find your next investment within it. If you're buying, selling, or simply exploring your options, let's connect.
