Real estate is an opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives, and Engel & Völkers provides the structure and freedom to elevate my business so I can help even more clients.”
Outside of real estate, Walt enjoys reading, writing, running, biking, and spending time with his family—activities that reflect the same energy and curiosity he brings to his professional life.
Emilio DiSpirito, License Partner of Engel & Völkers Oceanside, said about Walt joining the team, “Walt’s story is one we hear often in this industry—talented professionals who simply want to be supported, guided, and recognized for their work. At our brokerage, we believe an advisor’s success should matter just as much to leadership as it does to the advisor themselves. Walt immediately recognized that kind of partnership here, and we’re proud to provide an environment where he can thrive.”
Engel & Völkers Oceanside is confident that Walt Buteau’s expertise, passion, and commitment to his clients will further strengthen the brokerage’s presence in the Rhode Island real estate market.
