Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty Ranks #1 in Maine For All Waterfront Property Sales in 2018
Maine Real Estate (January 2019) – Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty, Maine’s leading luxury property company, with offices in Portland, Kennebunk, Brunswick, Damariscotta, and Camden, announced today that it again retained the #1 Ranking for 2018 Waterfront Property sales in Maine. The company reported it was successful in closing more Maine Waterfront Properties than any other real estate company in the state based on total dollar volume sold. Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty closed 291 transaction sides, totaling $220.7 million in property value. Maine Listings statistics also show that the company outsold the #2 participant by more than 22% in terms of dollar volume.
“Maine Waterfront Property has always been an important area of focus for our company,” said Chris Lynch, President. “Buyers and sellers seek us out because we have many of the best listings in the most desirable locations throughout Maine. In fact, we were involved in selling waterfront properties in 78 Maine cities and towns this past year. What a phenomenal result!”
Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty also reports that it continues to expand its reach into Maine’s Lakes Region. With more than 6,000 lakes and ponds in Maine, the company sees a growth opportunity for sellers looking to get more regional, national, and international exposure when selling their homes. “While growing the Lakes Region, we have also seen our oceanfront business thrive,” said Lynch. “Maine’s beautiful coastline and bountiful lakes are a perfect fit for our branding and global marketing strength.”
Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty attributes its success to offering clients a very strong package of marketing services including critical professional photography, 3D Virtual Tours, glossy print advertising, global property distribution through their exclusive network of agents, and luxury branding through their affiliation with Sotheby’s International Realty. The company also brings a very experienced and professional broker base of high service, touch and personalized attention to their clients. According to Lynch, “It is very rare that one finds a lock box at one of our listings. Our agents want to be at the showings so they can sell the house and its unique features and lifestyle attributes. Personal service and beautiful properties in great locations throughout Maine has been a winning strategy for us.”
“Waterfront properties of all types are an exciting area of growth for us and feed from the success we have already achieved,” Lynch concludes. “That being said, we are engaged in many aspects of the market and not exclusively oceanfront or lakefront properties. Our focus is to offer distinctive properties at all prices, and to present them in a way that buyers, regardless of where they begin their search, can find our listings and gather enough relevant information to make the big decision of whether to proceed with a showing and ultimately an offer to purchase a property. It is our intent to make the process very buyer friendly.”
