Specializing in Oceanfront Properties in Acadia and Downeast Maine
See our latest Blog Posts here
Hello, and welcome! I'm John Bettis, Associate Broker at Realty of Maine. After almost 20 years of living in Downeast Maine where I have personally bought and sold properties, I am very familiar with the quaint towns and the picturesque harbors that stretch eastward from Castine, Blue Hill, and Acadia, through Milbridge and Harrington. This area offers exceptional value for oceanfront properties, and I am excited to share some of these extraordinary buying opportunities with you. I love the good people who live and work in this area, and naturally, am very familiar with builders, surveyors, inspectors and more to assist you. Please allow me to share this gorgeous region with you, and help find your perfect home here. You can learn more about working with me and my expertise in the About Me section.
