Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty Ranks #1 in Maine For All Waterfront Property Sales in 2020

Maine Real Estate (January 2021) – 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 2020 Waterfront Home 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 sales volume. Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty closed 338 transaction sides, totaling $350 million in property value.

“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 recent years, we have added agents with expertise in the Lakes Region to supplement our dominant presence along the coast of Maine.  We continue to sell more homes for more money than any other real estate company in Maine and the market has rewarded us with a constant flow of terrific new listings to feed our strong buyer client base.“

Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty also plans to continue its expansion 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. “We have focused our efforts on the lakefront business in recent years and were rewarded with a renewed surge in demand in 2020,” said Lynch. “Maine’s beautiful coastline and bountiful lakes are a perfect fit for our branding and global marketing strength. We continue to seek out agents with expertise and experience in selling the best lakefront properties.”

Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty attributes its success to offering clients a very strong package of marketing services including extraordinary professional photography, Matterport 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 that provides exceptional service, touch, and personalized attention to its clients. According to Lynch, “It is very rare to find 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. Coupling personal service with beautiful properties in great locations throughout Maine has been a winning strategy for us.”

“While we have enjoyed the #1 ranking in Waterfront Homes sold for several years, we captured a #1 share of all homes in Maine sold for $450,000 or more,” Lynch concludes. “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. We know that if we create the most buyer friendly process with the best inventory of homes for sale, then all of our clients will be well-served.”
