Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty also announced that for the first time it surpassed the $400 million mark for Maine real estate sales as reported by Maine Listings at $408.8 million.
“It has been a terrific year for our agents and clients.

Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty attributes its success to offering its clients a very strong package of marketing services including critical professional photography, 3D Virtual Tours, glossy print advertising, global property distribution through its exclusive network of agents, and luxury branding through its affiliation with Sotheby’s International Realty. “There is no substitution for the quality and quantity of support, marketing services and network referrals of our unique network” states Chris Fortunato, Chief Operating Officer.
“Of course we are pleased with the 2016 results, but we are very excited about the future as well. Maine has hit the global radar screen for quality of life. This is a game changer which has been an exciting but challenging environment as we now have more buyers seeking their dream homes. While I know we are up to the task, it will clearly be a very busy year for Maine real estate” Lynch concludes.
