Page Taft-Christie’s International Real Estate’s executive vice president and former brokerage owner, Karen Stephens, has decided to transition from her management role to expand her career as a Realtor.
Meanwhile, Matt Healy will succeed her in the branch executive position for the business’ Madison, Guilford and Essex offices.
Stephens has also served as executive vice-president for Page Taft’s partner company Randall Realtors. Her sales career began at Page Taft’s Guilford office about two decades ago, and she took over the leadership of the company in 2005.
“This is something I have been contemplating for a while and I couldn’t be more excited to be back working full-time with clients to help them achieve their real estate goals,” Stephens said in an announcement.
She will continue to work out of the company’s Guilford office.
Healy
Healy joined Page Taft in 2015 after a career as a full-time firefighter. He has served as a Realtor, professional development leader and most recently, as sales manager.
The agency has offices along the shoreline and Connecticut River Valley.
