A last-minute job offer with a super-quick turnaround left my husband Hugh and me with precious little time to find our dream home. Wed visited Maine on a few occasions and loved it, but being from North Carolina, we were completely out of our depth in considering both where to live and also which home would be the right fit for us. Enter Portside Real Estate Group. When I hopped on the internet and asked for the best real estate agents in Brunswick, Maine, Brent + Lisas group was at the top of the list. I immediately felt at ease in talking with Brent. He offered great insights and resources and then connected me with another team member, Addie Peet. If possible, I felt even more certain we were in good hands when Addie and I connected. During the one weekend Hugh and I came to find our home, Addie patiently spent a good amount of time showing us around Central Maine. She was a wealth of insight about the towns, the formal and informal vibes, the resources. All of it. After finding our dream home, Addie stayed on point, guiding us seamlessly through the rest of the process. She connected us with great folks for the loan, the inspection, even giving us the name of great handyman. We have been in our home for three weeks and absolutely love it. We have the deepest gratitude for Addie, Brent and the good folks at Portside Real Estate Group. Their warmth and professionalism easily place them as the cream of the Maine Realtors crop.

OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE aEUR" ABOVE AND BEYOND IN EVERY WAY! Brent and Lisa from the Portside Real Estate Group were nothing short of phenomenal. They recently handled the sale of my fathers home in Brunswick, Maine, and I can honestly say Ive never encountered realtors as professional, dedicated, and communicative as this team. From start to finish, Brent and Lisa went above and beyond what I ever expected. Not only did they sell the home quickly, but they achieved a final sale price that was 10% over asking aEUR" a testament to their smart strategy, market knowledge, and tireless effort. What really sets them apart, though, is how much they cared. They helped manage the entire process with empathy and professionalism, even assisting with furniture logistics during the estate sale aEUR" something most agents wouldnt even consider. Their communication was impeccable throughout. I never had to chase them down for updates or wonder what was happening aEUR" they kept me informed every step of the way, and I always felt like a priority. If you're looking for realtors who are not just good but exceptional, I cant recommend Brent and Lisa highly enough. They made a difficult time much easier, and they delivered outstanding results with kindness and class. Thank you both aEUR" you truly exceeded every expectation!

My fiancA(C) and I worked with Elisabeth Cardali from Portside in our first-time home buying process during the summer of 2024. The market at the time was very competitive and houses were moving quickly, and we were hoping to buy on a short timeline. Elisabeth guided us from start to finish, and helped us learn what we actually liked and what mattered most to us. She was incredibly patient, kind, and supportive throughout the whole process, and she is very knowledgeable about the markets in all of the southern/mid-coast Maine region towns. We found the perfect home for us and we couldn't be happier! Thanks Elisabeth!

I worked directly with my realtor Elisabeth Cardali to not only sell the current house I was living at, but to buy a new house simaltansously. She created an entire presentation on a fair list price including comps and market trends. She made herself available to me at times that worked best for my family, including nights and weekends. She is incredibly knowledgeable and answered all questions I had, and often reassured my anxious self that everything will work out. She sold our house in 2 days of it being on the market! She was on vacation when we put in an offer for the house we ended up purchasing, and still completed the paperwork and made herself available if needed. I cannot same enough amazing things about Elisabeth and her team. She made buying and selling seem like a smooth process and I cannot thank her enough for all her help!
