I specialize in Buyer representation locating available properties from Castine to Calais. My extensive knowledge of the area, local market trends and financing options are an asset to my client(s). Representing the interests of my Buyer clients, I research property history, recent compartive sales, and negotiate with Listing Agents to put my clients in the best possible opportunity to facilitate a successful bid. I also have a successful record as a listing agent in both residential property and land only transactions and also with luxury/specialty properties. I have been a practicing Realtor in this market area for almost 12 years, as both a Listing Agent and Buyer's Agent. I am also currently a licensed Maine Tax Assessor (CMA) and former Assessor for the Town of Bar Harbor. At one time, I was a very successful corporate commercial account executive in telecommunication sales in Tampa Florida. My outgoing, caring and detail oriented personality, successful sales background and extensive knowledge of the area, allow for great representation and success as a Realtor in this market. Real Estate - Maine Associate Broker - July 2004 to present Sales Agent - July 2002 Real Estate - Florida Sales Agent License - Dec 2001 Certified Maine Assessor License #815 - 2008 Graduated from University of South Florida (Tampa) in 1992 with B.A. Criminal Justice A true, Mainer, I have devoted myself to a career in Real Estate and have a deep love for Acadia National Park and the surrounding Downeast Maine areas. I take advantage of all the outdoor activities this area has to offer such as hiking, biking and kayaking, and make it a point to "get out there" and see the countryside. I had always told my parents, when I was little, I wanted to grow up to be a "tour guide" for this area. Well, I guess I'm as close to that as you can get, and glad to share my love of the area with my clients.
