Waterfront

Maine, known for bold ocean shorelines and abundant lakes and ponds, has seen many changes in shoreland zoning rules, as well as development, over the last twenty years. It is especially important with waterfront to work with an experienced agent who specializes in this unique market. Our specialists are familiar with environmental concerns unique to waterfront as well as how zoning affects value and use.

While waterfront properties have certainly become more expensive, there are many elements to consider when buying or selling waterfront including legislative bills that could affect value and use, environmental issues such as endangered species, water types, quality and access, zoning for seasonal or year round use, private roads, lake associations, and how some or all of these affect financing.

Some of our agents have their Consumer-certified Real Estate Consultant designations and advise investors, both local and abroad. They have been actively involved with zoning boards, workshops, and lake associations, giving them the up to date information that you'll need when it is time to make a decision about buying or selling waterfront property in Maine.

Our database of buyers and sellers is expansive compared to average residential agents. Our knowledge has been accumulated over years of firsthand living, experience, and involvement concerning Maine waters. WE specialize in Waterfront because it's a passion, not just a job. The fact that our experience and knowledge is a resource to provide a better level of service only makes our jobs that much more pleasurable.
