Andy Osborn Emily Hays

A true son of Shreveport, Andy was born into the family grocery business, Andrews Grocery in Caddo Heights, where hard work was part of the family genetics. His grandmother often expressed, “If you’ve got time to lean, you’ve got time to clean!” After graduating from CE Byrd High, Andy continued his education just down the road at Louisiana Tech, where he met his wife Michelle and earned his BS in Forestry/Wildlife. Being close to family, all grounded in NWLA, and Andy’s love of the outdoors made the Sportsman’s Paradise a perfect home for him. Andy and Michelle settled back in Shreveport where they built their family, daughters Madeline and Mary, and a zoo full of pets.
There is something special about the first time a family walks into the house of their dreams. You can see it in their eyes. Their shoulders relax, they start talking about the heirloom furniture that will fit perfectly in a certain space, and where they will put their Christmas tree. For Emily, that’s the magical part of this job. Born and raised in Shreveport, La, she grew up with a grandfather who built houses and often let her explore the building sites. She dreamed of being an architect, but settled on a non-profit adventure after college. She never expected to live back in Shreveport/Bossier, but settled here with her husband Phil after years overseas. 4 children were born soon after and roots started to be planted. Emily’s love of houses piqued an interest in real estate and once the last of the babies started school, she jumped into the real estate industry.

What was supposed to be a part time gig quickly turned into a full time career. She was the rookie of the year her first year in the business at Coldwell Banker. After several years as an independent agent, she teamed up with Andy Osborn and they started a successful partnership. They have been the top small team in the state of Louisiana each year of the partnership. Awards and achievements came quickly, but relationships with clients that turned into friends were the reason that Emily continued to work. Getting to be a part of the story of each house, whether in a happy situation or a sad one, is the “why” for Emily.

Emily and her family attend Broadmoor Baptist Church where she teaches an 8th grade girls small group. She also is the varsity soccer coach at Airline High School. She loves to travel with her family and cheer her children on in whatever sport or activity they are currently particip


Andy is an active community leader, coaching youth sports for many years and as a volunteer through First United Methodist Church. In 2002, Andy earned his real estate license and transitioned from buying and selling forest products to buying and selling homes. Honored as “Rookie of the Year” in 2003 and being a multi-million-dollar producer each year since, his greatest reward is serving his clients. He has helped thousands of families achieve their own real estate dreams and is thankful that many of those are repeat clients and suggest his services to their friends and families. Combining his real estate and forestry experience, he also offers expertise in commercial ventures and recreational, timber, and agricultural land. Andy and his business partner Emily offer proven sales and negotiation techniques and a commitment to client services. Along with offering positive and rewarding experiences for their clients, they are proud to provide a nurturing environment for their Osborn Hays Real Estate agents, with the operations and marketing support needed to build their careers and serve their clients.
