Illustrated Properties, a member of The Keyes Family of Companies, significantly bolstered the firm’s Jupiter office with the arrival of designer-turned-luxury real estate advisor Katie Blineau. The accomplished real estate agent, designer and entrepreneur joins IPRE from the Meyer Lucas Team at Compass.
Blineau was consistently a top-producing agent on the Meyer Lucas Team, including in her first year. She specializes in the art of staging and selling luxury homes. Before relocating to Tequesta, she spent 14 years in Miami as a successful designer and business owner. Blineau founded a design-forward brand that told her clients’ stories through the curation of her extensive collection of high-end furniture, creating thoughtful temporary spaces.
During that time, Blineau leveraged her creativity and enthusiasm for growth and development to evolve her brand into an industry leader, working with brands such as Google and Spotify. As a Realtor, Blineau applies her unique background and expertise in helping luxury clients realize the dream of home ownership in the Jupiter area. She also assists clients in the purchase of investment and vacation properties.
“Katie is a tremendous addition to our Jupiter office,” said Daniel Dennis, President of Illustrated Properties. “She brings a genuine love for real estate and strong track record of exceeding client expectations as a designer and Realtor. We will support her efforts with IPRE’s unparalleled marketing, technology and other tools that enable our agents to produce optimal results.”
A Buffalo, New York native, Blineau participates in the Crossing for Cystic Fibrosis long-distance endurance paddle challenge each year. The annual event takes paddlers 80 miles across the Gulfstream from Bimini, Bahamas to Palm Beach County.
“I am so excited to join the team at IPRE and apply my passion for real estate and design for the benefit of our luxury clients,” said Blineau. “My approach revolves around listening to my clients and truly understanding their needs, rather than try to sell them on something that will not work for them. That has been critical to my success in the northern Palm Beach County high-end market.”
Blineau earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology and Economics from the State University of New York (SUNY) College at Buffalo.
