From decorative painter to agent

Lori Desormeau has joined Pearce Real Estate and will serve the company as a sales associate in its New Haven residential office.

In her new role, Desormeau will be part of the Edgehill Team.

Edgehill Realtors, LLC, was established by Ray Baldelli and Wojtek Borowski, two top producing and award-winning brokers at Pearce Real Estate.

In addition to Baldelli and Borowski, Edgehill Realtors is comprised of a team of highly experienced sales agents.

Desormeau was warmly welcomed to the company by Barbara L. Pearce, CEO and President of Pearce Real Estate. Pearce recently made the official announcement of Desormeau’s affiliation with her firm in a written press release.

Desormeau has been a resident of North Haven for several years. She purchased her own home from a Pearce agent, and it was that experience that inspired her own entry into the real estate profession.

“I had a great experience when I bought my home from Liisa Lindholm,” Desormeau remarked.

Prior to joining Pearce, Desormeau acquired more than 20 years of experience as a decorative painter. In that capacity, she has worked directly with clients, designers and architects on a wide array of projects. This past experience will serve as an asset in her new real estate career, Pearce noted.

Desormeau is a native of New York and her hometown is Syracuse. She went on to attend the State University of New York College at Buffalo and holds a Bachelor of Science in Design.
