WHAT Clients
ARE SAYING
Charlene was instrumental in the sale of my 270-acre estate in northern Maine. She was extremely professional, responsive and knowledgeable. I felt that the resources and brand cache that Sotheby's offered were essential in putting this property in front of the right audience, which resulted in a sale within 90 days of listing. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home.

During our married life my husband and I calculated that we moved around the country 18 times due to his work-related transfers - and we sold many houses along the way. We worked with many realtors under many circumstances with varying degrees of satisfaction, but none were as professional and thorough, as attentive and supportive as Charlene was during the sale of this last home. I was facing the sale without the support of my deceased husband. I am particularly grateful for Charlene's patience with my questions, her immediate response to my concerns, and her humor and friendship along the way. There were many issues to be resolved in preparation for listing the home, and many more as she worked diligently to show my home to its best advantage and bring in a buyer. She completely fulfilled her commitments to me, and I cannot recommend her more highly - she's a 10!

I wanted to write to thank Harcourts Waterfront & Fine Properties for the wonderful experience I had selling my home of 55 years. I was provided the highest level of service with a welcoming personal touch.
Most of all, I cannot thank you enough for Sara.
Sara Leighton was my broker in selling my home in Penobscot. She gathered all the information necessary, really listened, was very personable, and did a good job for me from the beginning to the end. I cannot say enough praise for Sara and the job she did for me.
Grace & Peace

What do you do when all seems lost and the home you had your heart set on seems to be slipping away? Well you call Charlene and let her figure out what needs to be done.
Our home buying experience in Maine was something we have never before experienced; and we are retired military who have lived and bought several homes within the continental United States. With Charlene at our side, no matter the twist or turn or curve ball that was sent our way we knew that we would know what do to do to make our dream come true in Maine. Between the phone call with us and our endless questions, to dealings with out mortgage company and their questions, Charlene was a driving force to get us to closing and ultimately into our home.

Sara has acted as Realtor for me and my partner as seller and buyer, and in both she was by far the best Realtor I've used in Maine or in other states. As seller, I left her briefly to try another Realtor but went back to Sara as soon as that contract ended. My house was hard to sell but Sara never gave up and never gave up on me, always encouraging and patient. If you decide to use Sara, you'll find she listens carefully to what you want as a buyer and doesn't waste your time visiting houses that don't fit your needs or desires.
When I told my partner, Ed, I was writing a review, he said "It better be the best review you've written. I love Sara." Trust me, you will too!
