As a couple we’ve been described as many things: go-getters, “power” couple, and “dream” team, to name a few. Connecting with others has always been where we thrive, and after building a career in the education field (Denise) and years of project and construction management (Scott), we decided the time was perfect to pursue our long-standing interest in the real estate industry with the same passion at heart. We couldn't be happier with our new path.
As Realtors, making your perfect “home dream” come true is our top priority. Beginning and navigating through the home buying process is a big step, and a different journey for everyone. Our purpose is to bring light to that process for you.
In our life journey, we have had the delight of purchasing and selling many homes for personal use, as well as investment homes. With each home purchase and/or sale, we have been able to continuously learn and apply the ins and outs of the real estate industry. This is where our passion began!
We absolutely love sailing in Maine’s gorgeous Casco Bay waters, spending time with family and friends (and our adorable Labradoodle), and walking the beautiful beaches in our lovely hometown of Old Orchard Beach.
