Engel & Völkers Okemo in Ludlow has hired adviser Rae Beaudette of South Woodstock, signaling the brokerage’s continued expansion across southern Vermont.
Beaudette brings more than 20 years' experience across the real estate and green building industries. She first held her real estate license in Chicago, where she ignited her passion for reworking interiors while staging homes for brokerages. She went on to work as an agent for Coldwell Banker, before she was recruited to the Netherlands to work as a relocation design specialist for C-Suite executives.
“Real estate immerses you in a variety of sectors that, at their best, are symbiotic and beautiful,” said Beaudette. “Creating a cohesive home from a property’s many disparate parts requires imagination, pragmatism and methodology, and I love that.”
Most recently, Beaudette developed continuing education courses for sustainable design professionals and worked as a liaison for related industry trades. She also operated a home staging and gardening business that served much of New England.
“Rae’s holistic, sustainable approach helps us better connect the Upper and Lower Valleys with the quality of service that makes Engel & Völkers so successful,” said agency owner and principal broker Gail Beardmore.
