Hello, and welcome! I'm John Bettis, Associate Broker at Realty of Maine. After more than 23 years of living on the coast of Maine where I have personally bought and sold properties, I am very familiar with the quaint towns and the picturesque harbors that stretch from Kennebunkport in the south to Eastport in the north. I have worked with buyers and sellers up and down Maine's beautiful coastline and inland along our pristine lakes and rivers. Maine has natural beauty that will appeal to just about everyone!
My significant real estate experience allows me to guide you to the areas of Maine that will fit you best, and my aim is to make the experience enjoyable and easy for my buyer and seller clients. Even if you just enjoy looking, or if you plan to wait for a few years before making a life change that may take you to Maine, please feel free to browse properties on BuyInMaine.com. As you have questions and need guidance, do not hesitate to reach out to me and ask. I would love to guide you with expert advise.
You can learn more about working with me and my expertise in the About Me section.
