About Stephen Daoust

I am a lifelong resident of the Berkshires, growing up in Pittsfield where I attended local schools prior to majoring in Fine Arts at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. I discovered a passion for Hotel and Restaurant Management early in my career, after completing a summer apprenticeship at the four-star Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park. After returning to the Berkshires, I had the privilege of working in some of the finest inns and restaurants in the region, eventually working as Executive Chef at the former Williamsville Inn in Housatonic.

 

Years later, while raising our family in Pittsfield, my love of the outdoors and serving clients found the perfect outlet as manager of the Arcadian Shop in Lenox. In 2007, I accepted a position at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, where I served as the Director of R&R and Outdoor Programs for 12 years.

 

In an effort to expand my career, I completed courses for real estate agent designation in 2008, and as an Accredited Buyer's Representative in 2019. I made the decision to enter the industry full-time in 2020, where I was able to offer clients my undivided attention and dedication to their dreams of home sale and ownership. The opportunity to develop relationships and help individuals and families navigate one of life's most significant milestones is the most fulfilling of my career.
