Feeling lucky to be tasked with finding the next owner of this special 40-acre organic farm with historic farmhouse, barn and roadside shoppe near scenic Belgrade village. I believe this would make the next best glamping wedding venue with platform tents dotted throughout the woods in any season. Cut your own flowers, a young orchard, 300 organic Christmas trees, and cross country ski trails are ready to delight!

Multiple offers.
Closed $155,000 over asking.
The Maine market is strong.

Every real estate transaction is different with a unique set of challenges. The location, the condition of the home, sensitivity around the reason for selling or buying, financial considerations, time of year, or just the general pressure of making the biggest transaction of your life (!) are a few of the reasons for racing hearts, second thoughts or a flare of emotions.

That’s all totally normal and why I feel like so much of this profession and process is about people and relationships. I am here for you at every step- however stressful - to listen, to offer options, to support you (with 🤗 and 🙌), to get it done.

A serendipitous transaction at every step, thanks to the love and care of each of these humans involved. We half-joked that it felt like we were starring in a Hallmark movie.

Wishing all the best to repeat clients and friends and on the turn-key purchase of this ✨spectacular✨ home. What a wonderful whirlwind! I hope this home brings you and your family the very best memories for years to come!

Need me to accompany on a showing for this one? 😍

Do you know Chris Lynch? Founder and president of Legacy Properties Sotheby's International Realty, I’m the lucky one behind the camera capturing this brilliant human and bright smile — and the very best boss. He’s featured in Mainebiz this week sharing his predictions for the year ahead.

“I am very optimistic about the Maine real estate market for 2024,” Chris stated. “It is shaping up to be more of a return to the conditions we were enjoying during the pre-pandemic 2018-19 time frame. We will continue to experience an abatement of the unique conditions and circumstances that caused a nationwide feeding frenzy with respect to asset allocation, resource relocation and revived focus on living for today.”

“There is no longer a buyer group which feels the need to escape from the big cities,” Chris told Maine Biz. “With lots of government stimulus money still on the sidelines feeding inflation, it has become more difficult to access. The Federal Reserve Bank has reversed its easy money policy with a relatively harsh tightening course of higher interest rates. More offices are bringing employees back into the office to increase productivity and accountability.”

“Lastly, many home sellers who have remained on the sidelines due to lack of inventory and/or the comfort of holding a 3% mortgage, will find that they can now afford to sell their home and find a new suitable home than has been previously out of reach.”

In October, when mortgage rates surged to a recent high of 8%, Chris said that was a “showstopper for both buyers and sellers.”

“The home affordability measures were so far out of whack that it seemed like it might take a prolonged period of time to get back to something more tenable,” he said.

We’re now looking at mortgage rates closer to the 6.5% range for qualified buyers.

“Although that seemed extremely high on the way up in September, it actually looks quite attractive on the way back down for 2024,” Chris said.

I am hopeful and excited for the year ahead - for the chance at new connections and new beginnings.

Let’s do this!

Congratulations to all on the sale of this special legacy property. Cheers to new beginnings! 🤩🌟

Happy 25th birthday to Foundation 51 and congratulations on a successful Fall Fling this evening at Skyline Farm in North Yarmouth. It was a perfect night for a little live music, some yummy eats, and catch-up conversation with community parents while raising money for our schools. Honored to sit on this organization’s board and to have sponsored this event. 📚✏️🏫

Just listed!

This 1910 Deering Center New Englander thoughtfully uses every inch of this 1500sf home with 5 (!) bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a cozy sun porch and charming back deck (with grape vines and twinkle lights), and… backs up to the incredible 29-acre Baxter Woods! Adventure right from your backyard into the park, or explore nearby shops and eateries.

Is this real life? Thank you for believing in me and trusting me with your dreams. You are helping me realize mine.

Proud to help serve our community

Dream house! We honeymooned in this area - reminds me of MDI before tourists. Pure. Simple. Stunning.

Just in time for summer! On one of the most desirable streets in Freeport! 🌞

I've had the lucky fortune to tour this home and can attest that it is even more exquisite in person than these already-impressive photographs. Tasteful updates, palette, setting and, hello, retro bowling alley?! I would love to show this to you - please inquire!

Maybe we should rent out this house, the homeowners pondered once under contract on a new house not wanting to go through the hassle of listing right before a planned vacation.

Or maybe, I suggested, I could send an email to my agency colleagues to see if anyone might have a buyer - just in case. No prep. No staging. No stress.

Yes, yes, they agreed. Let’s just see…

… We went pending less than 24 hours later with an agent in my office.

Looking for a differentiator? This is the Legacy Properties Sotheby's International Realty advantage! What an exciting and enjoyable transaction. Happy for all sides!

Thank you, Andrea Pappas Pellechia, Realtor, Sotheby’s International Realty and Anne Bosworth Real Estate Agent for bringing your wonderful buyers to this special home in Falmouth. Thanks, also, to Jeremy Weir - Bangor Savings Bank and Two Lights Settlement Services, LLC!

Pure magic. ✨

It’s happening!

We are jubilant in Maine to finally see some signs of spring!

Snow is melting (and our sump pumps are running around the clock). ❄️
Magic little sprigs of green are pushing up through the earth. 🌱
The extra evening light is a gift. 🌞
Moods are bright! 😁
We made it!
(Don’t look now, tho, because I think I spy snow in the weekend forecast)

If you’re elbows-deep into spring cleaning and are thinking that maybe, instead, it’s time for a different house, you aren’t the only one. This change of season kicks off the beginning of Maine’s typically busy spring real estate market! 🏡

There are backlogs of buyers for our area. If you have a home to sell, I’d love to talk to you about how to get it show-ready and achieve top dollar. And I’d love to hear about where you envision yourself going next. If not staying local, I have a global network of agents to connect you with who will ensure you receive the luxury customer experience is known for.

Whether selling or buying, my goal is to support you throughout the process. There’s a lot that goes into a real estate transaction and I never want you to feel alone or overwhelmed. We’ll take it step by step to get to that closing table and onto your next chapter together! And I guarantee we’ll have some laughs along the way! 🤗

If these walls could talk!
