Est. 2006
A legacy built with purpose.
Founded in 2006, Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty was built on a clear vision: to elevate the standard of real estate brokerage in Maine through expertise, integrity, and the power of a globally recognized luxury brand.
From the beginning, our commitment has been to serve clients and communities with discretion, professionalism, and deep market insight. What began as a focused brokerage with a clear purpose has grown into one of Northern New England’s most respected and high-performing luxury real estate firms.
Twenty years later, that founding vision remains unchanged. Today, it continues to guide how we advise clients, market properties, and deliver results in an increasingly complex real estate landscape. Take a closer look at the story behind our growth and what continues to set us apart.
From a single office to a statewide presence representing Maine’s most distinctive properties.
Two decades of growth, guided by experience and defined by trust.
20 Years By the Numbers
Market Leadership
For two decades, Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty has represented Maine’s most significant waterfront estates, historic properties, and private coastal retreats. Today, the company is widely recognized as a leader in Maine’s luxury and waterfront real estate markets.
With offices in Portland, Kennebunk, Brunswick, Damariscotta, Camden, and Northeast Harbor, the firm brings together more than 100 experienced agents serving Maine and New Hampshire’s coastal, lake, and mountain communities.
Through the power of the Sotheby’s International Realty network, Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty connects these exceptional homes with discerning buyers around the world.
From the Founder
I am incredibly grateful for our dedicated staff, extraordinary agents, and our valued clients, numbering nearly 10,000, who have trusted us with their real estate dreams. When I started the company 20 years ago with 6 agents and one office, I had relatively high aspirations to set a higher standard of real estate brokerage. My aim was to run Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty as a business and to provide the commensurate investment of financial, intellectual, and physical capital.
I have never focused on our team size or the number of transactions completed. My exclusive focus was to be the very best that our marketplace for real estate had to offer. We set a standard in serving and servicing our clients’ wants and needs. We have been unwavering in delivering a professionalism that exceeds our clients’ expectations. We were a market leader and continue to be in the quality of our overall presentation of our listed homes for sale. We have built a culture driven by fiduciary responsibility, rock solid advice, high-touch service, and repeatedly generating exceptional results.
I am proud to say that our growth has been driven by the hard work and focus of our entire team. Our 20th anniversary milestone has inspired me to revisit our roots. Honestly, I had not fully appreciated how hard it would be to start a real estate company from scratch. There was lots of competition around every corner and in every town. Even when the financial markets crashed between 2008 and 2010, we stayed the course. I believed we had a client service formula and a business plan that would ultimately prevail despite the gale force headwinds.
Having grown, organically, to more than 100 agents across six offices focusing on Maine and New Hampshire, we have transacted real estate brokerage business in dozens of towns throughout Northern New England. We have become the dominant company in the luxury property segment regardless of how it is defined. Our company ranks number one for all sales of $550,000 and higher and for every category and price point beyond. We also rank number one for waterfront sales, sales over $1 million, sales over $2.5 million, sales over $5 million, and much more.
The past 20 years have gone by much too quickly. I have been so fortunate to surround myself with exceptional people who do incredible things each and every day. We all make each other better, and our focus on our amazing clients continues to inspire us to do more and do it even better. I can only presume that the next decade will be even better than the past two.
Thank you again for being part of our real estate world.
Our Commitment
Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty’s commitment has always been clear: deliver exceptional service, professionalism, and results for every client. Each property benefits from thoughtful marketing strategies designed to showcase its unique character and reach qualified buyers wherever they may be.
Community impact has always been an important part of Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty’s story. Through Legacy’s Legacy, the company’s charitable giving program, agents voluntarily designate a portion of their closing proceeds to support charitable organizations. Each year, these contributions are directed to local, regional, and national nonprofits recommended by participating agents, allowing the program to support the communities where they live and work.
Over time, Legacy’s Legacy has grown into a meaningful extension of the company’s success, strengthening the communities that make Maine and New Hampshire such special places to call home.
As the real estate landscape continues to evolve, Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty remains focused on innovation, strategic marketing, and expanding its reach to better serve clients. With continued investment in technology, data, and global exposure, the firm is well-positioned to build on its first 20 years and deliver even greater value in the decades ahead.
