Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty Ranks #1 in Maine for All Waterfront Property Sales in 2019
Maine Real Estate (January 2020) – 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 2019 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 sales volume. Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty closed 253 transaction sides, totaling $202 million in property value. Maine Listings statistics also show that the company outsold our #2 competitor with an average selling price that was nearly double.
“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, marketing and 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. “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. We are looking to add agents with a lakes 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 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 that provides exceptional service, touch and personalized attention to its clients. According to Lynch, “It is very rare that one finds a lockbox 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 have been a winning strategy for us.”
“Waterfront properties of all types are an exciting area of growth for us and feed on 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.”
