We bought our first house with Sue Lessard and it was a wonderful experience start to finish. She listened to our needs, helped us figure out where to compromise if needed, and ultimately helped us buy a house with everything on our list! She helped us navigate all the normal stresses of home buying AND went above and beyond to make sure we were able to get the house we wanted amid this pandemic. I'd recommend Sue to anyone and everyone -- communicative, reliable, so knowledgeable, honest, and just an all around nice person to work through this with. We are so appreciative.

Joi Kressbach has been amazing to work with. Even though our family home did not sell for 3 years she remained diligent in keeping us informed of the market and advised us accordingly. Knowing our parent's home was difficult to part with, Joi was sensitive to our desires and that we needed to continue to rent our home to help with the upkeep and property taxes especially due to the fact we lived out of state. Joi worked around our guest's schedules and made showings convenient to everyone. She simplified the closing process so we did not have to be present to sign documents. Once the

Joi Kressbach is the best ! As a real estate broker myself in Massachusetts, Joi guided me through the Maine home buying process, first as a buyer and then as a seller. She is very knowledgable about real estate development too, helping me subdivide a beautiful water view parcel on Rt 88 in Yarmouth. Joi is really smart, offered creative and timely advice and always represented my best interests, especially during intense real estate transactions. She referred me to some excellent local contacts, including a fantastic mortgage banker (Greg Dauphinee of Androscoggin Bank) and landscape architect

I can't say enough about the great service I received from Town and Shore, specifically working with Sue Lessard, in finding the absolute right property for me in Portland. I'm relocating from Boston so don't yet know Portland well. Sue spent a day getting me acquainted with different neighborhoods and helping me decide which would be right for me. Once I'd found the property I wanted to buy, she took the lead in negotiating the price and contract that were beneficial for me. But Sue went above and beyond what you'd expect from a realtor. Because I was long distance

Lynn Hallet helped us sell our previous house as well as purchase our current home. We had such a wonderful experience working with her and everyone at Town & Shore. Thank you all for such a smooth and seemless process! I can't tell you how much we appreciate it.

I called looking to speak to a real estate agent as I'm looking to relocate to Maine & was going to be in the area later this summer. I had originally tried the online contact form, but it kept getting sent back to me as undeliverable. I was told by the person who answered the phone that she wouldn't be able to help me, but would look to find someone who would & asked if I would be around that night. It's been about a week later & no phone call from anybody. There are plenty of real estate agencies in the area who will call me back in a timely manner, so I will start
