John Krouse`

As a proud resident of Maine and a dedicated business owner, Maine has been my home for over a decade. What began as a short-term stay in 2011 quickly turned into a lifelong commitment to my family and this incredible community. Today, I'm fortunate to call Maine home, with the help of my wife, Kristie, we've raised two wonderful boys Trevor and Tyler, all while growing a thriving real estate business. Before diving into real estate, I spent 22 years as a Professional Hockey Equipment Manager. Working with the Arizona Coytoes NHL team brought my family to Maine when we affiliated with the local Portland Pirates in 2011. While the world of sports was exciting, my true passion has always been real estate. With extensive experience spanning rental property management, home renovations, construction, and commercial/residential real estate, I bring a diverse skill set that's invaluable to my clients. I started Next Key Real Estate, partnered with eXp Realty group and we're deeply committed to guiding clients through the complexities of buying, selling, or investing in real estate. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, a seasoned investor, or someone looking to sell, we ensure your experience is smooth, strategic, and successful. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions, protect your investments, and achieve your real estate goals with confidence. When I'm not working, you can find me on the ice, at the racetrack, or cheering on the NFL. But no matter where my passions take me, my clients always come first. I'm here to ensure your real estate journey is as rewarding and seamless as possible. If you're ready to take the next step in your real estate journey, let's connect. I'd be honored to help you unlock your next opportunity! Reach out anytime--I'm here to help! John Krouse
