Shelby Boudreau

Instructor & Estate Management Expert

The modern household management workshops are led by Shelby Boudreau, a seasoned estate manager with two decades of experience managing luxury properties and growing estates. In these courses, she draws from her own experience scaling a 16–property estate, and shares tried and true methods for managing household operations. “As someone who has walked in your shoes, it’s my goal to teach you the importance of connecting the dots between people and properties,” says Shelby. “I want to help you elevate your skills, gain the respect of your team members, and walk away from this course with the knowledge and confidence to thrive (instead of survive) as an estate manager.”
