What Our Clients Say

Wayne Brown & Edward Taylor

Brown Builders & Fairfield Properties / Brown-Taylor Development

Norma Jane Sabiston and her team were essential in guiding us through the federal government in order to attain our Part 3 historic tax credits on our recent development, Josephine Lofts.  Our meetings with the United States Park Service were carefully planned and strategized by Sabiston Consultants.  We also engaged the Louisiana Congressional Delegation and the Mayor of New Orleans as our advocates which was helpful.

The Sabiston team continues to partner with us and as a result Brown Builders and Fairfield properties will be expanding our footprint in other parts of Louisiana and the Gulf Coast.

Tom Leonard & Pres Kabacoff

CEO & Chairman of the Board / HRI Properties

Sabiston Consultants have become a trusted advisor and problem solver for our company.  Norma Jane Sabiston and their team have strong working relationships across local state and federal government.
