We’d love for you to join us on Tuesday, September 24th from 5:00-7:30 for the 11th Annual Harvest Dinner, hosted by Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program (MCHPP)!

This community tradition brings people together around a shared table, all in support of the important work MCHPP does to fight food insecurity here in our region. Each meal served helps fund their mission of providing food for neighbors in need—and every ticket purchased makes a difference.

This year’s dinner features a locally inspired menu, thoughtfully prepared by some of the area’s most talented chefs. From fresh seasonal ingredients to creative dishes that celebrate the bounty of Maine, it’s a meal you’ll remember—not just for the flavors, but for the cause it supports.

We are truly honored to be a sponsor for this event. Supporting MCHPP is something that’s near and dear to our hearts. Their dedication to ensuring that no one in our community goes hungry inspires us, and we are grateful to stand alongside them in this work.

Mark your calendar, invite your friends and family, and join us for a night of great food and even greater impact.

With the school year kicking off, families all over Maine are settling into new routines—early mornings, after-school activities, and the daily shuffle of drop-off and pick-up. If your current commute to school feels like more of a haul than a hop, this season might have you thinking about a move.

We had the best time with you all at Portside’s Midyear Event! It still feels surreal—just pinch me. When Brent and I joined Portside Real Estate Group back in 2018, we never imagined that one day we’d be presenting at the Midyear Event as top producers. I can still remember attending our very first Portside conference, listening to brokers share their incredible journeys and thinking, someday, I want to be up there too.

As realtors, we spend a lot of time talking about homes—but what really makes a place feel like home is the community around it. That’s why we’re so passionate about being involved in our local towns, from Brunswick and Topsham to Freeport, Durham, and beyond.

Summer in Maine offers the perfect backdrop to reflect on what makes our region so special. Whether it's Thursday nights at Music on the Mall in Brunswick, grabbing coffee at your favorite local café, or chatting with neighbors at a Saturday open house, we’re constantly reminded of how lucky we are to live and work here.

Our team doesn’t just help people find homes—we help them connect with the neighborhoods and people that make life richer. That’s also why we love highlighting local events, businesses, and hidden gems on our social media and blog. When we say "Love Where You Live," we mean it—and we want you to feel it, too.

So whether you're new to town or a lifelong Mainer, we hope you'll follow along as we share what makes our corner of the state so special. And if you’re ever curious about a new neighborhood or just need a restaurant recommendation we’re always just a call, text, or message away. We love sharing our favorite spots and helping folks feel right at home—whether you're house hunting or just exploring what makes our communities so special.

We're in the thick of it now—summer in Maine! The temps are up, the days are long, and life is moving fast. Between barbecues, swim lessons, art and farm camps, and golf tournaments, our calendars are full—but in the best way.

This season brings so much joy. We're soaking up the local fun—from Music on the Mall nights under the stars to planning family adventures that remind us why we love living here. At the same time, summer is also a busy and exciting chapter in real estate. We’re holding mid-year meetings with Portside, launching new listings, and guiding our buyers through a competitive and fast-moving market.

It’s a season that reminds us how deeply connected we are to our clients and our community. Whether we're negotiating offers, answering late-night questions, or catching up with neighbors at a local event, it's all about showing up—every day—with energy and intention.

While the pace may be fast, it’s incredibly rewarding. We’re honored to help people find their place in Maine, and we wouldn’t want to be doing anything else.

So if you see us at the pool, the camp drop-off line, or Music on the Mall—say hi! We’re out there, just like you, making the most of this special season.

Summer in Brunswick just wouldn’t be complete without Music on the Mall—and we’re thrilled to be sponsoring this beloved tradition again in 2025! Every Wednesday night from June through August, the Brunswick Town Mall transforms into a lively gathering place filled with music, laughter, and the sweet hum of community connection.

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new YouTube channel—your go-to destination for all things local real estate, lifestyle, and community here in Midcoast Maine! Whether you're buying, selling, or simply love where you live, this channel is built with you in mind.
