At Timbers Company, each chapter of growth is defined by the people who shape it. The appointment of Louise Guido as Senior Vice President of Real Estate Sales & Marketing marks such a moment—an opportunity to bring fresh perspective, global experience, and a proven record in luxury real estate to the company’s expansive portfolio.
A seasoned executive with more than two decades of global experience, Louise brings an impressive blend of strategy, innovation, and relationship-building to the role. For both our business partners and our Owner community, her appointment signals continued growth, sophistication, and opportunity in how Timbers approaches its real estate portfolio.
A Career Rooted in Luxury and Global Reach
Louise’s professional journey spans leadership roles at some of the world’s most iconic luxury brands, including Montage Residences, Robb Report, The Wall Street Journal, and Forbes, where she led high-performing teams, accelerated growth, and connected ultra-high-net-worth clients with properties and experiences tailored to their lifestyle.
At Montage Residences, Louise served as Managing Broker, overseeing sales and marketing strategies across a $1 billion portfolio with properties in Barbados, The Bahamas, Mexico, and the U.S. Under her leadership, sales more than doubled in pace, and her team achieved over $100 million in villa transactions.
Earlier, as Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing for Robb Report and Art Media, she managed a $25 million portfolio while pioneering new luxury property products and creating experiential events designed to connect discerning audiences with premier brands. She is also recognized as a sought-after speaker, having addressed forums ranging from the United Nations Global Conference for Social Change to GSMA Mobile World Congress.
Her background extends beyond real estate and media into entrepreneurship and innovation. Louise launched LivingAbroad.com, a global relocation services platform that grew to dominate 85% of its market before its successful exit. Her history of collaborations with Sotheby’s, VistaJet, Jet Linx, and Burgess Yachts also provides a dynamic perspective on partnership-building to reach qualified audiences.
Vision and Strategy for Timbers Company
Louise’s real estate sales and marketing initiatives for Timbers Company focus on lead generation, global broker partnerships, and strategic growth. Already, she is laying the groundwork for initiatives designed to strengthen the Owner experience while positioning Timbers properties more competitively. Among these efforts:
- Enhanced resale strategy: A more streamlined resale program to support current Owners in maximizing the value of their residences.
- Preferred broker program: An expanded network of trusted brokers who deeply understand Timbers properties for low-friction, informed transactions for buyers and sellers.
- Innovative collaborations with ultra-high-net-worth sales brokers: Utilizing her network of global partners to connect Timbers with the market’s most influential real estate professionals.
These initiatives reflect not only Louise’s strategic acumen but also her belief in long-term partnerships and the importance of building value across the Ownership journey.
A Global Perspective, A Personal Touch
Louise’s career has taken her across more than 40 countries, giving her an instinctive understanding of the nuances in international markets and the needs of a truly global clientele.
Her approach is defined by more than numbers and transactions. Colleagues often describe her as a strategist with vision, but also as a leader who empowers teams and builds meaningful relationships. For Timbers, this combination is vital: it ensures that sales and marketing strategies are not only innovative but also aligned with the brand’s commitment to genuine, memorable Ownership experiences.
Looking Ahead
As Timbers Company continues to expand its global real estate portfolio, Louise’s leadership arrives at a pivotal moment. For partners in the industry, her appointment demonstrates Timbers’ commitment to working collaboratively with top-tier brokers and advisors worldwide. For current and future Owners, it represents a deepened focus on maximizing the value and visibility of Timbers residences.
In Louise’s own words, “It’s an exciting time to join Timbers, a company with a long-standing reputation for curating intimate, unforgettable Ownership experiences”. With her guidance, Timbers’ next chapter anticipates not only growth but also new opportunities to reimagine how luxury real estate is experienced, shared, and passed forward.
