Business Beat: Engel & Völkers Oceanside Welcomes Walt Buteau as Real Estate Advisor

Engel & Völkers Oceanside is proud to announce the addition of Walt Buteau as a Real Estate Advisor. With nearly 20 years of experience buying, selling, and revitalizing properties, coupled with his long career as an investigative reporter with Channel 12, Walt brings a unique blend of storytelling, market insight, and client-centered service to the brokerage.

After years of balancing his media career with real estate, Walt decided to dedicate himself full-time to helping clients achieve their real estate goals. Whether it’s preparing a home for the market, guiding a first-time buyer to the perfect neighborhood, or assisting investors with profitable opportunities, Walt approaches every transaction with integrity, dedication, and a commitment to building lasting relationships.

“For me, it’s all about building genuine relationships,” said Buteau. “When you focus on helping people reach their goals, it doesn’t feel like work. 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, and real estate writer for RINewsToday, shared his enthusiasm 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.
