Joseph Deraney

Hi, I'm Joseph Deraney, known as Your Best Friend in Real Estate. I help buyers and sellers across the Northshore and New Orleans area navigate the market with confidence, strategy, and a little humor along the way. With a comprehensive strategic listing plan, I've helped homeowners sell faster and for top dollar, while guiding buyers--from first-timers to luxury clients, military families, and investors--through smooth, stress-free transactions. Since launching my career, I've had the privilege of helping dozens of families and investors achieve their real estate goals, and was honored as the 2024 Rising Star of the Year by the Northshore Area Board of Realtors(R). Real estate for me isn't just about numbers--it's about people. Before real estate, I worked on tugboats along the Mississippi River--even facing down Hurricane Ida. That near-death experience gave me perspective: life is short, and your home should be the place where your story unfolds. When I'm not working with clients, you'll usually find me golfing, discovering hidden gems around town, or enjoying the amazing food scene across the Northshore and New Orleans. I'm proud to call this community home and love showing others why there's no better place to live. Thinking about buying, selling, or just curious about the market? Let's connect--I'd love to be Your Best Friend in Real Estate. Call or text me anytime at 504-444-1990.
