The first quarter is already over and the Portland Maine real estate market is just as hot as the prior year. Spring is always the busiest time of year, add an already hot market and you've got a blazing inferno. We are talking about MANY properties going into contract in one-three days on market. Click here to read my full market report. Once again we are plagued with tight inventory as much of the country is. It's our job to educate the sellers and show them WHY now is the best time to sell.

My review of "Slab" in Porltand Maine just received the review of the day award from Yelp. You never know how you will help people save some "dough"!
Since I'm originally from NY I have been blessed with the best pizza in the country. The water plays a big part in how the dough will taste and the same goes for bagels. I know some people outside NY that have water shipped to them in order to maintain that NY texture and flavor! The key element to perfect pizza is the sauce. It doesn't matter what type of bread or cheese you use, … (4 comments)

Maine has gotten so much great press over the years. Our great state is called Vacationland for a reason, there is never a shortage of things to do. Whether it's taking a ferry ride to a beautiful island, strolling along our many miles of beach, enjoying the plethora of amazing restaurants, hiking in the mountains, or just laying low and breathing in the clean, fresh air, Maine has it all. In fact, these are some of the reasons I decided to relocate my family here and call Portland home. Ok, maybe the blueberries had something to do with it as well, … (1 comments)
Dining at isa (supposed to be lowercase) was by far my most pleasurable experience in Portland so far. It's located in the challenged Bayside neighborhood which brings me back to NYC. It's not about the location but the ray of sunshine their food brings to the neighborhood. Having met in Brooklyn NY, the owners, Isaul and Suzie decided to bring their prowess and vision to Portland Maine, how appropriate! Isaul is classical trained in French and Italian cooking, that alone is a recipe for success. This is the exactly the type of restaurant you would find in an up and coming … (0 comments)
I find more and more that buyers are calling the listing agent of a property and expect them to have their best interest in mind.

Anything you say to the listing agent can, and will most likely be used against you in a negotiation. Your Greater Portland Maine Real Estate Buyers Agent will know what to tell the sellers side without weakening your negotiating position. Here are some questions I want you to consider the next time you are on the fence about … (0 comments)
