Beth Kobeszko, the sponsoring broker of Engel & Völkers Slidell Mandeville, started selling real estate in 1992. Ten years later, she founded the local company ABEK Real Estate. On February 13, 2017, Beth and ABEK joined Engel & Völkers’ international network. Engel & Völkers Slidell-Mandeville provides leading real estate services for buyers and sellers who are drawn to the growing market north of Lake Pontchartrain for its proximity to New Orleans, family-friendly neighborhoods and community, and picturesque waterfront properties. Engel & Völkers Slidell Mandeville is a global company and lifestyle brand providing high quality services for those seeking to buy and sell real estate properties. “Slidell, Mandeville, and Franklinton all offer the sense of community and historic charm of a small town, and yet they’re only a short drive from New Orleans,” said Beth Kobeszko. “We’re seeing many young people and families make the decision to settle in these areas, and we chose to align ourselves with Engel & Völkers in order to provide the best possible service to our clients and the growing community,” concluded Kobeszko. “We have seen increased domestic and international interest in New Orleans and surrounding real estate markets during the last year. Beth brings with her a specialized expertise and over 25 years of experience, and is the perfect partner to introduce Engel & Völkers’ premium level services and international reach to this growing market,” Anthony Hitt, CEO of Engel & Völkers North America, said in prepared remarks.
