When Bertha Cerna sees in her clients’ faces that they have found the perfect place to call home and the sincere gratitude from the sellers when the property gets sold, it is the most rewarding moment of her work.

Cerna, a Latter & Bloom / Compass Realtor, has a wealth of knowledge and a unique skill set that allows her to succeed. Her communication in both Spanish and English, honed during her time as a professional interpreter and teacher, allows her to simplify complex real estate concepts, which is a significant advantage for clients navigating the buying and selling process.   

As an immigrant from Honduras who has called New Orleans home since 2001, Cerna profoundly understands and appreciates the family values within the Hispanic culture. She is deeply committed to helping the Hispanic community in Louisiana achieve their dream of homeownership. Her expertise in the local real estate market and understanding of Hispanic buyers’ and sellers’ unique needs make her an invaluable resource. 

Cerna is up-to-date on market trends and assistance programs offered in New Orleans that allow for low monthly payments and government subsidies for first-time buyers. She educates her clients about the possibility of qualifying for loan programs with low down payments and benefits that improve depending on their credit score. Additionally, Louisiana residents who can provide proof of income and a Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) have the opportunity to purchase property. “The dream of having your own home is now closer with the facilities available; it may even cost less than the high rental prices that many people pay today,” she says.  

When purchasing a home, Cerna is a dedicated guide, supporting her clients every step of the way. From conducting research and home inspections to understanding insurance and choosing the best title company for closing, Cerna is a trustworthy advisor. She manages negotiations, clarifies real estate terms, discloses financial qualifications, and identifies companies that offer the best loan options. For clients looking to sell their properties, Cerna provides comprehensive support, creating a detailed market analysis to establish the best price, distributing listings on multiple platforms, handling legal aspects and inspections, and negotiating offers. With Cerna, you can feel confident and reassured throughout the entire process. 

 “I feel very proud when I see Hispanics achieve their goals. I admire hard-working men and women who, through action and discipline, use their earnings to invest, buy and sell property, and achieve financial success.” 

With a kind, warm personality, and a friendly smile, Cerna earns the trust of everyone involved in the transaction. With professionalism, experience, thoughtfulness, and the support of her experienced team, Cerna is ready to help you take the next big step of your life, whether purchasing the home of your dreams or finding a luxury vacation property.
