I hereby award Jennifer Kanwit the Realtor of the Year Award! Unfortunately, I am under no…read moreauthority to grant this award other than the fantastic experience we had buying our Maine home with Jennifer. We moved here from Indiana and had really high expectations for what we wanted in our Maine home. Jennifer doesn't just listen, she infers, asks probing questions, and works hard to get to know her clients in order to supply them with the best service. Ultimately, we ended up buying our house sight unseen, so she and her colleagues worked exponentially harder to make sure we were going to be ok - bringing in every inspector and specialist so that our home would be ready for us when we arrived. The day we were driving into Maine, Jen called to tell us there was a leak that was threatening to ruin our hardwood floors. She was there right away (we had already closed mind you) and called on experts to come in and ameliorate the problem. Thanks to her quick actions, no significant damage was done. I could go on and on about how Jennifer regularly goes above and beyond. It's just her nature! Shout out to Sarah Singer, Phyllis, and Ellen who each played an important supporting role in getting this house for us. We are beyond delighted and recommend Jennifer and Portside to anyone!!

Erin is a true gem. We moved to Portland from out of state, and we worked in advance to interview a…read morefew realtors by video to find someone who would be a good fit. We learned that Erin has worked in several industries, but the common thread is that she is a people person and a thoughtful decision maker. She listens well and is intuitive. We came to Portland for a long weekend and looked at more than a dozen houses. Erin was game for all of it. We didn't find the perfect one, which was understandable given the short time frame. Right before we left, she asked if we'd like to see one more house that she thought met our criteria. We'd actually seen it online previously and decided we weren't interested based on photos alone, but she encouraged us to check it out in person. The house was awesome. It fulfilled what we were looking for (and was a great lesson in not judging a book by its cover). I remember when we walked in the door saying, "Erin, wow!" We were fairly hooked on the house, but it was quite pricey. After some thought, we made an offer that was outright rejected for being too low. We moved on and looked at other houses. A few months later, the house was still on the market, so we made another offer and were again rejected. Erin encouraged us to be patient. We decided it just wasn't meant to be. About a week later, though, the sellers' realtor reached out to Erin and said they were now willing to consider our offer, and after some brief negotiation, we got under contract and closed on the house within a month. We had waited a few months and ultimately saved a ton of money. Throughout the process, Erin was encouraging and insightful, knowledgeable about the pros and cons of the beautiful old houses that interested us, and full of tips about life on the peninsula. Her own personal interest in historic homes helped us understand different neighborhoods and regulations. This is our third home purchase, and Erin certainly gets top marks among all the realtors who have helped us buy or sell. She was skillful in the contract logistics and fine details, but more than that, her personality is really suited for this line of work.

If you're looking for a broker who's knowledgeable, responsive, thoughtful, smart as a whip, with…read morefantastic people skills and complete integrity, I'd like you to meet Erin Oldham. A dedicated comparison shopper, I found Erin after extensive on-line research of Maine real estate brokers. She made my shortlist, and after my very first call with her, I knew she was the one for us. Warm, informative, candid, and with an excellent sense of humor, she ticked all of the boxes on our ideal-broker wish list. This impression was confirmed in further calls with her as well as an on-line seminar she gave on Maine's real estate market. Erin not only has up-to-the-minute intelligence on the ins and outs of the current market, she also has a terrific command of past trends and future projections. No matter what question I threw at her, she responded thoughtfully and thoroughly. And in those rare instances that she didn't know the answer off the top of her head, there was no waffling: She either promised to get back to me--and did, in short order--or directed me to a website where I could easily get the information I sought. In the end, we wound up finding a For Sale By Owner home that didn't require the services of a broker, but despite knowing this, Erin continued to provide vital information that was key to a successful transaction. She did not have to do this, of course, and I did not want to presume on her goodwill for a transaction from which she would not earn a dime, but she cheerfully volunteered some vital information that would play a key role in protecting us as purchasers in our planned purchase. For this and other things, we will be forever grateful and will surely use Erin's services for any future home purchases or sales--and recommend her to anyone and everyone who's looking for the best of the best in home brokering. PS: Erin can broker any property in the state of Maine, so even if the property you're considering is outside the the greater Portland area, she can help you.

His knowledge of the Portland market and confidence in pricing strategy made a huge difference. I appreciated how he struck the right balance: he welcomed pushback but also stood firm when he knew what would get results. His fresh, modern approach to marketing (including premium video assets) helped our place stand out. Even in a lousy market, Jeremy persisted and got our condo sold above asking - something we'd honestly given up hope on. He was recommended to me by a friend, and now I'd happily recommend him to anyone. I've got another property in the Munjoy Hill neighborhood and look forward to working with him again.
