WHAT Clients
ARE SAYING
I met Charlene in the summer of 2020 as a referral from another broker located in NYC. It didn’t take long for my wife and I to realize that it was a wonderful choice. Charlene was there when we needed her, her marketing was terrific and the photos and walk-through were done superbly. The house and property never looked better. Not only did she generate significant interest but she presented the house with enthusiasm and energy. We had some issues and Charlene was always there to address them and ensure that the potential buyers were satisfied with the solution. We sold our home at a good price and we and the buyers were happy with what we got both in terms of price but also a house that would be a great home.
Throughout the whole process Charlene was always there at the property with intelligence, energy, enthusiasm and a fair and even handed professional approach to both sides of the transaction. Her efforts made the sale and the closing smooth and painless for all. I could not find a better more professional yet likable representative.

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!

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

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.
