Kate Kerkam Realtor at Portside Real Estate Group

I haven’t been great about remembering to take photos of my buyers at their new properties but this drawing by my client’s young child that they gave me at their closing today brought tears to my eyes, especially when I turned it around and saw what he wrote in the back. Real estate is a relationship business at the end of the day, and I really love taking care of my clients. I can’t wait to see what they do in their new home!

There’s nothing quite like the shade of green of the water in midcoast Maine. I’m so grateful to be able to spend time here with my extended family.

One of my favorite things about is the culture of giving back to our communities. Twice a year, our agents host “Coffee’s on Us” events, offering to buy a cup of coffee for everyone who walks through the door of local coffee shops. No strings attached, just good feelings. Today I got to visit and at and the agents and at Thanks for the coffee!

I really love Maine, but a February escape to St Thomas and St John is pretty great, too (even if I am still checking my work email).

JUST LISTED in Portland, a beautiful 2 bedroom condo with high ceilings and large windows that flood the space with natural light, highlighting hardwood floors throughout and charming historical details. Listed at $340,000, this one is probably going to sell quickly!

It's Summit Week! I've been putting together a presentation on legal updates, new rules, form changes, and best practices followed by a Super Fun Quiz Show for our agents to put the rules into practice. Can't wait!
