Yep, that’s me!!!!!!!!!! I’ve worked with real estate developers for 20 some years but I’ve never had the opportunity to operate an excavator! Just one of the benefits of a new homes community? Spinning around is quite fun, but working the controls is not easy. I dug up a sizeable stump (aww, Mom and Dad […]

…and WITH A NEW iPHONE YET!!!!!!! I was a Blackberry believer and did not want to switch to the iphone until I began to have Crackberry issues and the device would just freeze up (blue screen and the frozen hourglass, not a good thing). Yesterday I said THAT’S IT (wanted to slam it against the

So I feel as if I’ve been out of touch with the world (other than via my Blackberry, or Crackberry) for a week now – we just moved and are without internet and TV for a short while. I do have Twitterberry and Facebook for my Blackberry, but it’s just not the same. I haven’t

I had a showing today at the inn so I grabbed my camera in hopes the snow had melted enough for me to take new photos. It was cold but clear and gorgeous with blue skies and puffy clouds. Besides, I figured out how to use my new DSLR on manual exposure which made a

Doesn’t this photo just ooze deep thought and contemplation? It was shortly after we moved to Maine to buy an inn. Surrounded by such natural beauty, before guests would be due to check in, we’d forward the phone and go out for a walk or a hike or just sit on the rocks by the

How’s that for a company name? Biddeford, Maine locals opened their business last year and began selling frosted nuts (like pralines) for a dollar a bag, hence the name Buck Nuts! Maine is proud to offer so many locally made products and I’m proud to support such businesses.

The rates we have been seeing in hospitality and commercial lending in Maine for years had been relatively and historically low for commercial loans. However, in recent times they have increased quite a bit. Contact me to discuss current rates we are seeing with our hospitality lenders.
Not everyone who is a licensed real estate agent is a Realtor®?
A Realtor® is a licensed real estate salesperson who belongs to the National Association of Realtors®, the largest trade group in the country. Realtors® are held to a higher ethical standard than licensed agents and must adhere to a Code of Ethics. Some Realtors® are brokers, while some are associate brokers or sales agents. These are varying levels of education, licensing and often responsibilities.
And hospitality ‘Consultants’ or ‘Brokers’ who are not licensed in the state of Maine are not held to any standards the way we are here as licensed Realtors® in Maine, where consumer protection is paramount.
I am a REALTOR®, a real estate professional who has taken the extra step to belong to the National Association of REALTORS®. Through membership, I abide by a Code of Ethics and have gained expertise to help you navigate one of the most complicated and important transactions you’ll make in your lifetime.
