About Lauren Perreault - RE/MAX Execs

I have been personally involved in real estate and construction for over 20 years.
Prior to becoming a Realtor®, I spent 30 years in executive management positions for local corporations where I specialized in rescuing troubled departments and projects.
I decided to make real estate my sole focus in 2003.
My past experience translates directly into improved service for my clients. After all, if I can negotiate multi-billion dollar contracts with the United States government, I can negotiate successfully with anyone!
My experience allows me to help clients analyze issues and data. My job is to make the complicated uncomplicated so you are empowered.
