Michael Verderosa, MPS

TRADITION. PRESERVATION. LEGACY.

Michael Verderosa is among the top 1% highest producing real estate brokers in New Orleans and the nation. In his first year alone, he made history as the only residential agent in Latter & Blum’s 101-year legacy to rank among the company’s Top 10 highest-producing agents. Since then, he’s closed over 650 real estate transactions, representing more than $175 million in sales — with 92% of that business driven by repeat clients and referrals.

Before opening his own brokerage in 2026, Michael was consistently recognized as the #1 top-producing individual agent at the Latter & Blum, and he has led the market in Algiers and the Westbank for over a decade. His deep knowledge of New Orleans architecture and neighborhoods has earned him national recognition, including features on HBO, Discovery+, Magnolia Network, FOX 8 News, the New Orleans Times-Picayune, and the New York Times.

He holds a Master’s in Preservation Studies from Tulane, where he graduated with the program’s first-ever 4.0 GPA, and he has since completed post-graduate work in Real Estate Investment and Development at Harvard.

A Passion for Preservation

Before launching his real estate career, Michael led a team of preservation and environmental consultants for FEMA’s post-Katrina recovery efforts, overseeing the historic review of more than 50,000 Louisiana properties. He later served as National Lead for Historic Preservation with the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, managing a team of over 300 specialists nationwide.

Today, Michael brings that same precision and reverence for place to his work in real estate — whether helping clients buy or sell historic homes, or guiding the thoughtful development and adaptive reuse of properties across Greater New Orleans.

Community-Driven, New Orleans-Focused

A proud longtime resident of Algiers Point, Michael has spent more than two decades volunteering in New Orleans area civic leadership.

Community Service roles have included:

• Vice-President of Operations, Algiers Point Association (two year term)

• At-Large Board Member, Confetti Kids

• Advisory Board, Old Algiers Main Street

• Algiers Point representative, Algiers Neighborhood President Council

Mike has also supported preservation nonprofits like Friends of the Ferry and Friends of the Algiers Courthouse, and was among the original founding administrators of the Algiers Point social media group, Pointe Algerines Unite.  He serves as a social media administrator of most of the Algiers Point neighborhood Facebook groups.

Michael is an active member of Trinity Episcopal Church, where he serves with the:

• Trinity Vestry (2026-2030)

• Trinity Board of Stewards (2023-Present)

• Vice-Chair of the Usher Committee (2023-Present)

• Trinity Loaves and Fishes Feeding Ministry (2024-Present).

The Heart Behind Historic 504

Michael is not only a real estate leader — he’s a hands-on preservationist. He lives in and lovingly restored a City of New Orleans Historic Landmark, known as Blue Skies Over Old Algiers, which he has furnished with period-appropriate antiques and shared with a rotating cast of rescue dogs (all named after former U.S. Presidents and First Ladies).
