WHAT Clients
ARE SAYING
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!

Our long ordeal reminded me of something I should never have forgotten in the first place: the broker and the brokerage MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
We owned this gorgeous, large, expensive house in a location well off the beaten track. When we decided to sell, we tried three brokers before we happened upon Charlene. She somehow elicited more action in six months than the others did in three years. We sold the house, and are happily ensconced in our new home.
Thanks, Charlene!

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.

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

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!
