60k can buy you a piece of the "rock"!?

I am so happy to have represented the buyers of this great piece of land in Bar Harbor - near Town Hill. They got a GREAT deal as this lot sold for $60,000. It is a great time to consider buying land on MDI since prices have come down and contractors are eager for the business.

Here is another land listing that is also a great deal - new subdivsion on MDI. White Deer Circle

Lazy yet productive Sunday!

Refresh Hancock

October on Mount Desert Island....

I am LOVING this month! I've had more business this month than all summer combined - crazy! Plus things in-town are winding down a bit which is great....such a funny life here with the seasons and craziness. It has been great to take a deep breath from time to time and get outside and enjoy Acadia - so gorgeous this time of year!

Last weekend I took a mini-vacation despite being busier than ever...but it was great to catch up with some of the best girls on the planet and soak up some long lost Boston. I love the mixture of new and old architecture.....this picture is from Copley Square - the John Hancock building with the Trinity Church reflection.

Funny story on this house above, the seller in his eighties is my Grandmother's cousin and I just found that out - who would have thought! Small world.

A few things I've been up to....

Time to get blogging!!

For now all I can do is upload some pictures of recent activities...so far October has been a lucrative and busy month....unlike some of the non-lucrative busy months from summer, ha :-)

SOLD!!! A great start to October! Friends, Peter & Christina bought a house in Bar Harbor - love it!

Having SO much fun dancing my pants off at Zamirski-Kloko Wedding!

Martha Zamirski Kloko's wedding! Molly, Martha and I...love these girls!

A visit to the Pumkin Patch with my nieces!

I've taken up house-sitting for some clients....this one included horse-sitting too!!!

Newest Pending!!!

I love representing friends and helping them buy their first home!!

This house has a ton of potential and is a great deal very close to downtown Bar Harbor.

Business AND Busy-ness

Summer in Maine - what a treat! This is the time of year we wait for all winter...hot, sunny weather, all of the local businesses are open, real estate is picking up, taking trips to the beach (once for me so far this summer), and bbq-ing with friends (less and less as the craziness of August arrives). It sometimes feels like living here on the coast of Maine is all or nothing! No complaints though from me....it feels great to be busy with work and busy with life. In the craziness of it all, I am fortunate that I recently got to visit some dear friends who camp annually on Hermit Island near Bath, Maine. It was so great to take a couple of days to visit, beach it, enjoy the campfire, and even take in a lip sync concert care of my favorite 3 and 5 year olds.

Here are a few pictures from the days that I was lucky enough to "play" tourist.

Love this condo in Portland!
