Meet Melisa
I never have to convince people to love Maine—I just get to help them find their place in it.
From first glance to decades later, there's nowhere else I'd rather call home. I love sharing the endless possibilities of this place that I've fallen madly in love with. We have mountains, beaches, rolling green meadows, endless farms, bustling cities with incredible restaurants and culture, and quieter towns filled with community, spirit, and local charm. There truly is something here for everyone.
Maine has been the backdrop of my life. My husband and I have raised our boys here, bought and sold our own homes here, built our careers here, and every day I'm reminded why I love helping others find their place in this incredible state.
I've spent much of my career helping clients throughout Cumberland County, and since the pandemic, I've been moving more and more of my business up the coast, serving communities like Bath, Brunswick, Wiscasset, and beyond. Whether you're looking for your first home, a vacation home, your "growing family" home, your downsizing home or your "life after work" home - I'm here to help you every step of the way. I've had the privilege of helping buyers and sellers navigate Maine's real estate market, and I still love what I do just as much today as when I started.
It's important to me that my clients understand the market here and are as informed as possible about current data and trends so we can create the right strategy for a successful real estate transaction. Much of the country is seeing a slowdown in the housing market, but Maine continues to grow. The best-kept secret is out of the bag. People are discovering Maine for what it truly is: an ideal climate, a diverse landscape, growing business opportunities, and an incredible lifestyle. Every sale here is unique, and that's especially true right now. Micro-markets are everywhere, and every home and location deserves its own strategy because that's how localized the market has become.
Getting your home under contract isn't the finish line either — it's really where the hard work begins. From coordinating with lenders, inspectors, appraisers, and structural engineers to recommending trusted contractors, stagers, cleaners, and other local professionals, there are countless moving parts to a successful transaction. Over the past 25 years, I've built a network of people I know and trust, and having those relationships is wildly beneficial to my clients and my business.
When I'm not working with my amazing clients (and my clients are AH-MAZING), you'll probably find me biking, skiing, cooking, spending time with my family and our dog, Ruby, practicing Italian, or spending time with friends that I love. I believe life is meant to be enjoyed, and Maine makes that easy.
Real estate is personal, and so is the way I do business. My goal is to make every client feel heard, over-informed, supported, guided, and at ease throughout the process. Whether you're buying or selling, I'm here for you. I'd love the opportunity to help you with your next move.
