Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty Ranks #1 in Maine For Luxury Property Sales

Maine Real Estate (January 2021) – Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty, with offices in Portland, Kennebunk, Brunswick, Damariscotta, and Camden, announced today that it again retained the #1 Ranking for Luxury Property Sales in Maine. The company reported results based on its ongoing success selling residential homes priced over $1 million. According to Maine Listings statistics, Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty closed 183 transaction sides over $1 million in 2020 which is a nearly 54% increase from its own 2019 record. Dollar sales volume also expanded by more than 95% to $351 million in luxury sales compared to $180 million the previous year. The statistics also show that the company held a very substantial lead over the #2 agency in this highly competitive market segment. With luxury sales performance exceeding that of its next closest competitor by more than double in dollar terms, the company continues to extend its leadership role in both listing and selling the highest value homes in Maine.

“We have been investing heavily in innovative products and global advertising that were critical to cementing purchase decisions when buyers and sellers did not have the flexibility to travel.  This high-value segment of the market really requires the global access, luxury branding, and white-glove service we provide,” said Chris Lynch, President. “There were lots of new buyers looking at Maine real estate this year and we were well-positioned to help them.”

Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty is also proud to report that it ranks as the #1 real estate company in Maine for all property sales above $450,000. “We are very fortunate to have so many top-performing agents who have built their businesses around a high-touch approach, exceptional personal service, and professional sales results,” adds Lynch. “We have been able to offer our exceptional service and advertising model across more price points and new markets. The size of our company allows us to be focused on our efforts while providing the service our clients expect. We believe that all of our clients’ homes deserve the kind of custom attention we provide.”

Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty attributes its success to offering its clients a very strong package of marketing services including extraordinary professional photography, Matterport 3D Virtual Tours, glossy print advertising, global property distribution through its exclusive network of dedicated and professional agents, and luxury branding through its affiliation with Sotheby’s International Realty.

“Despite the very low availability of homes for sale, we managed to achieve a record number of transaction sides,” Lynch concludes. “Closing 1,034 sides as a company in 2020 is a direct reflection of the focus, diligence, and professionalism of our talented agents.  They were able to find the gems for their clients and get the properties closed, which should not be taken for granted in 2020.”
