I had a house on the market for over a year and a half. I met Steven when I was thinking of…read morerelocating to a different city. He made such an impression on me that I remembered him three months later when I decided to change realtors instead of changing cities and see if he could sell my house that was on the market. Steven came and took pictures two days later, a Friday, and had my house listed, including a virtual tour, by Monday. My house went under contract two weeks later and closed in three weeks. He's personable, engaging, knowledgeable, and simply the best. I would highly recommend him to anyone trying to buy or sell real estate.

My brother recommended Steven to us in early 2015 (Steven had helped him find and purchase a lake…read morehome.) Steven helped us find and purchase our vacation home this past year. He was great. Always provided answers to our questions in a very timely manner sometimes this included weekend texts, emails and calls- he was always available. This was Our first real estate purchase since we married. Steven helped us through the process and was always patient with all of our quirky requests.

I would give this company zero stars if possible. We have been trying to rent a summer rental from…read moreTraci Blackman since Sep 2024 (6 mos). Still waiting to receive a signed lease from owner, which was promised 2 weeks ago. This is after 2 unexplained cancellations through our original form of rental with VRBO. Absolutely no communication. We have finally put a stop payment on our deposit and are moving on. We think this rental was potentially a scam from the beginning.

First, i would give a zero to the agency if i could. Clayton Pottle the managing broker was rude,…read moreunprofessional, and did little to market our listing. They only wanted to use the mls. Did not offer feedback except a personal attack on us the owners. No evidence to support his suggested price, no current comps, said he only did marketing for "good" listings. And when asked what was the issue, said we were the problem. Also talked to owner of William Reavis and he said that he wouldn't do anything and that his comps were low. Had no idea that they were from last year and that we had totally updated the property. Do not use in the boothbay region!!!

We found Courtney through a blind email to the Portside website, and at first didn't realize our…read moregood luck. At the time, we lived out of state, but had been looking at property online in Maine. We corresponded, then planned a trip to Portland. Before we arrived, Courtney sent us a detailed list of neighborhoods to explore, along with restaurants and coffee shops that she thought might suit us and our kids (as with so much else, her food recommendations were spot on). Courtney's thoughtful planning for that trip set the tone for our relationship with her during our nearly yearlong search for a home. We were immediately impressed by her down-to-earth demeanor and attention to detail. Despite a chaotic, fast-moving, and frustrating market, with low inventory, high prices, and rising interest rates, Courtney never lost faith in our ability to find the right place. She was wise, responsive, and constantly available to consult, troubleshoot, and advise. She and her work partner, Sarah Delisle, helped us find and clinch the deal on a house that makes sense for our family, and that we love. But Courtney's faithful and generous support didn't end there. She has been a font of knowledge on all things homeowner-related. We're relieved to have made it this far, but bummed that we don't get to hang out with Courtney on weekends anymore! We can't say enough about her great work ethic, kindness, and commitment to her clients.

He was available around the clock, made incisive recommendations and never hesitated to go above and beyond what is typically expected of a broker.
