Service areas and specialties

I specialize in country/rural properties, particularly those that include large parcels of land. Mini-farms, horse farms, specialty farms,produce farms,tree farms and recreation lots are a few examples. I consider soil types, elevations, exposure, drainage, access, abutting land uses, boundaries and land use regulations when I assist in matching the best property to the right user.

Personal / Comments

I truly enjoy the area in which I work and live. Rural Maine has much to offer, especially to those who are raising a family, as I am. I have enjoyed being very active in my community and I have developed a vast network of local, state-wide and national professional and civic associates. Whether you are interested in land for any purpose, real estate as an investment, or simply escaping to Maine for a more enjoyable pace of life, I look forward to working with you.
