“We are very excited about the opportunities for the Sotheby’s International Realty brand in Midcoast Maine. Damariscotta is the perfect spot for us to connect our network along the coast of Maine,” said Christopher Lynch, President. “There are so many special properties in Bristol, South Bristol, Christmas Cove, Round Pond, Chamberlain, New Harbor, Newcastle and Bremen which present terrific opportunities for our agents and our clients.”

“We see the Damariscotta office as an extension of our growing Midcoast presence established by our Brunswick and Camden offices. Damariscotta will give us additional coverage for Damariscotta Lake as well as the Boothbay region with gorgeous properties in Boothbay Harbor, Southport and Edgecomb among others,” added Lynch. “We tend not to be as geocentric in serving our buyer clients who may be interested in visiting properties in several markets before making their final decision. Our team approach allows us to service clients with agent support throughout much of coastal Maine. We operate as one company from five locations with Damariscotta being a perfect location to add to our network for Maine real estate brokerage.”

“I am sure our clients will benefit from the additional branding and marketing that comes along with being affiliated with Sotheby’s International Realty" states Joane Tait, Senior Vice President. “We can help our sellers gain more exposure to more qualified buyers through our proprietary advertising venues and broad media campaigns.”

“This is yet another example of our commitment to serve the finest homes in the best locations in Maine. There is no question that the Damariscotta peninsula and the Boothbay region are at the top of the list.” added Tait.
