A group rented The Boatyard in Cape Elizabeth for 3 nights. Our point person dealt with an agent at this office. The short term rental property was beautiful and well equipped, but dirty to the point of disgust. Upon receiving details of the property condition with a few pix of some utter filth, the agent's response was "I am beyond horrified". Despite her alleged horror, the reply to a refund request for the $500 cleaning fee was a list of irrelevant defenses, and a mere $100 refund. Our group is beyond horrified by this unprofessional and nauseating experience.
My husband and I just moved to ME from upstate NY and we were so happy to have been referred to the Scott and Sunny Townsend team! Michelle Bennett was fantastic from start to finish. Being new to town, we had no idea where to begin the search. Michelle spent hours of her time driving us through the many neighborhoods surrounding Portland. She is very knowledgeable, extremely patient and such a great person to work with! Even after closing on the house, Michelle still touches base to make sure we don't need anything. Thanks Michelle, Meghan McDonald and the entire team for making the house buying process so enjoyable!
The Scott & Sunny team was amazing from start to finish. From the admin Megan who communicated with us regularly and kept us fully informed with regard to where we were in the process to the helpfulness and expertise of Scott and the rest of the team, we were extremely pleased with both the process and the beautiful home they found for us. Would highly recommend them.
We were very pleased with the Scott & Sunny team!Their advice was right on and we ended up with multiple offers within two days of the open house! Really enjoyed working with Katy Foley and the rest of the team. All around, they made a potentially stressful process as smooth and easy as it could have been. Highly recommend them!
Scott was very helpful in guiding through negotiations and working out issues resulting from the home inspection. He also was great at moving the process along for us when it stalled out with the sellers. His support staff was excellent at helping us with information on home services available after we purchased the home.
This is the third property I have sold or bought with Scott and Sunny and I cant imagine using any other broker in the area. Their team is smart, compassionate, and on top of the market. Thanks for everything!
I'd recommend Scott & Sunny's team to anyone looking to buy or sell a house anywhere in the Portland/Scarborough area.I initially met Scott while looking at a house they had listed in 2016. I appreciated his friendly demeanor and his pressure-free approach. I decided at that time that I wanted his group to be our Realtor.Our buying (and selling) agent, Katy, was also great. She was extremely responsive even though she had a family emergency going on right in the middle of the whole buying process.Her knowledge of the area and the market was valuable and helped us to land the house we wanted.
I was extremely nervous about buying a new home and our buyer specialist from KW, MICHELLE BENNETT, made the whole stressful process so easy. She was on top of everything, knew all the legal aspects of the contract, negotiating and communicating w all appropriate people, offering all options of each situation that arose during inspection, appraisal, addendums to the contract, and anything else that came up prior to, during and after closing. She was in constant communication with us guiding us along, keeping us on target with all deadlines, what comes next, etc with great respect, humor, knowledge, and much TLC which helped a great deal. I would highly recommend Scott and Sunny Townsend Reality and more specifically Michelle and her entire team.
Our experience from the get-go was knowing we were in good hands. Scotts knowledge of our property and the market, years of experience and the ins and outs of the community were immediately apparent. Not full of sales pitch, truly interested and dedicated to his community and the service he could offer us. Scott went above and beyond in every aspect of our experience. He even interviewed brokers in the area that we were moving to to insure we would have a quality experience both selling and buying.
I had a fabulous first-time homebuying experience with Scott and Sunny Townsend. I worked very closely with Michelle Bennett. I explained my budget, what I knew I wanted, which features or details I could live with, and the restricted location I had to search within. Knowing the speed at which houses fly off the market, she texted, emailed, and called when she heard about new properties she thought would fit my wants and needs. I saw five properties before I found my dream home within my budget. I would recommend Scott and Sunny to anyone!
As a first time home buyer, working with Scott & Sunny and their team was an absolute blessing. With every little bump and hiccup we experienced along the way, they were right there jumping through hoops and making sure we had everything we needed. They went above and beyond to make sure a normally stressful experience was as stress-free as possible and talked us through the process every step of the way. Not only were they great with regard to process and detail, but they also helped us to find the home that is exactly what we were looking for. We woke up one morning deciding it was time to upgrade, and two months later here we are decorating a Christmas tree in our new home! I would highly recommend the Scott & Sunny Townsend team to anyone in the Scarborough area and beyond looking to buy or sell a home. They are awesome!
We purchased a home after having just moved here from out of state. We put in Normas trust in somebody we had never met. She turned out to be incredibly knowledgeable, reliable, always available for support, and genuinely caring

I want to extend my recommendation for Scott & Sunny Townsend to be your Real Estate agents, for buying or selling. We made a purchase from out of state, and i can't say enough about the smoothness all went, up to finding the right house for us to look at, setting up the appointment, staying in touch with us for the sale, along with the closing. I can't say enough about how lucky we are to have finally found the cottage we have always been wanting, and without their help it wouldn't have been possible.
After interviewing four realtors in Portland, I chose to work with Katie Brooke at Scott & Sunny Townsend, which was the best decision I could have made. I was a nervous, first-time home buyer and I was moving from New York, which complicated it even more. I knew that I needed someone who could communicate well and in a timely manner, and who could by my eyes and ears here in Portland during the search. Katie was amazing. Each week we would discuss properties and she would manage to get them all scheduled during my short weekend visits. When she was out of town one weekend, I was well taken care of by other members of the Townsend team. She answered all of my questions, repeatedly, and made me feel comfortable with the entire process. Katie's advice and market savvy kept me on track, and kept me from overpaying for a house in a very hot market. I ended up with exactly what I wanted, paid under-market price and am very satisfied. Post sale Katie has kept me supplied in contractors and helpful hints prior to my move, she's met people at the house when I couldn't be there, and even offered to mow my lawn so the house would look lived in! You can't do better. Thanks Katie, and the entire Townsend team!
We had decided to go with Scott and Sunny because of very positive earlier experience with them and because of their high profile in our area. We never regretted that decision as we felt that we received good advice, a high degree of responsiveness, and expert marketing of our house. We also were impressed with and appreciated the other members of Scott and Sunny's team as they were always willing to be both proactive and flexible in meeting our needs. Our house sold quickly and without any glitches and we believe that was because of Scott and Sunny's active approach to every aspect of the process. There is no doubt that we would use this team again if we ever needed to buy or sell another property for any reason. First rate experience.
I have now bought 2 homes and sold 2 homes with Scott and Sunny Townsend and every time my expectations were exceeded. Katie Brooke is fantastic, always available and responsive and always right on top of things. I have never once had to call her to follow up on something that she said she was taking care of. Her knowledge of the local market is awesome and she is always a delight to be around. The connections they have with local mortgage brokers is great and everything works seamlessly so that I pretty much just have to show up for the closing. I always recommend Katie Brooke when someone I know is looking for a real estate person and always highly recommend Scott and Sunny Townsend Real Estate.
The entire team is very impressive - I cannot say enough about my experience with them, from their suggestions regarding getting my house ready for pictures / open house to their promotional materials (including an amazing video taken by a drone flying overhead) and very impressive use of social media for marketing to their extensive network of reliable skilled individuals that they are able to recommend as needed (plumbers, handymen, stagers, etc.) - it's obvious at every step of the way that they know what they are doing and do it well. My house was under contract (after receiving 3 strong offers) within 1 week, and the team really went above and beyond for me (I live out of state and didn't have to come back once). I quickly put my full faith in Scott and his team and would again in a heartbeat!
I cannot speak highly enough of the Scott & Sunny Townsend team. The sale of my house was faster than expected and I accepted a higher than asking offer. This was in large part due to their help organizing, professional photography, and skillful advertising. I found the selling process to be made very simple and easy going during what could have been a stressful and confusing time. I HIGHLY recommend this great group!
Scott, knows his business, customers, and territory extremely well and has trend data to substantiate his position and recommendations both as a seller and buyer. Especially in the Higgins Beach area. He is also put together an excellent marketing plan, presentation material and energy to ensure we achieved the greatest exposure which lead to a strong offer.
Scott and his team are excellent! His expertise, responsiveness and tenacity is unmatched. We were incredibly impressed with our entire experience working with Scott. He sets the bar high for brokers in the area. We can't say enough good things! If you're looking to sell Scarborough area, I highly recommend Scott.
The Scott and Sunny Townsand group of professionals are extremely knowledgeable and very hard working! They worked for me both as a seller and a buyer. Each experience was amazing. Scott as my seller agent and Katie as my buyer agent helped me stay atop of a very competitive 2016 market. It was challenging at times but their unwavering positive energy and hard work persavered and the payoff was big. If you want a valued realtor experience you must hire this team! Sincerely, Christine Bartlett
Bought twice and sold once with Scott and Sunny. They get the job done! Have great knowledge of the Southern Maine market, are super motivated, and actively involved in the Scarborough community.
Scott and Sunny and their team are consummate professionals. I could not recommend them more highly. Over the years I have partnered with them to handle multiple real estate transactions - all seamless. Whether buying or selling, the team takes what could be an incredibly stressful experience and turns it into one that I looked forward to each time. I can't thank them enough!! - Serena
We worked with the Scott and Sunny team to purchase our first home in Scarborough, Maine, and I never thought the home buying process could go this smoothly. Everyone we dealt with there was so good at their jobs, very prompt with communication, and expertly guided us in the home search, offer, and buying process. We highly recommend working with this team.
Scott and Sunny and their team are incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and great to work with all around. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
I can't say enough about how wonderful the Scott & Sunny Townsend team is! Buying our first home together was a dream come true for our family and with every step of the way Scott, Sunny, Diane, Meghan and everyone else on their team offered invaluable guidance, expertise and outstanding customer service. We couldn't have done it without them and I would highly recommend that anyone searching for a home in the Southern Maine area gives them a call first, you won't be disappointed!!
We worked with the Scott and Sunny Townsend team on a recent rental property purchase in the Willard Beach Neighborhood of South Portland, Maine. It would be hard to overstate how professional, knowledgeable and genuine every member of their team was to work with. Their insight into the local market helped us negotiate a winning offer, and broker Katie Brook was completely knowledgeable about every step of the process and very responsive and detail oriented. Scott and Sunny themselves are very down to earth and friendly, and their knowledge of the rental side of real estate has been indispensable as we've learned how to manage our new income property. Great folks to work with, highest recommendation.
Scott and Sunny Townsend are absolute pros. My wife and I had been looking for a house in Scarborough, ME for years with no luck. We met Scott, drove around the neighborhood with him and wrote down 20 or so addresses of houses that we might be interested in. Scott spoke to every one of their owners, and got all no's. Rather than give up, he suggest we wait a few months until tax bills were due, then went back to all of them to ask one more time. One of the owners expressed interest, and Scott then took us through the entire process flawlessly. We now own that house! Sunny runs a wonderful rental business, professionally and fairly managed. I would never rent through anyone else. They are part of their community, committed to being the best at what they do, and it clearly shows. No need to look any further - Scott and Sunny are the absolute best.

Individualized attention from the start. My husband and I couldn't agree on a home...how familiar does this sound?! Scott and Sunny worked with BOTH of us and we now own the home we BOTH love. Scott and Sunny weren't just professional, they were real. Real people with real humor and real patience. The perfect combination for my husband and I.
Scott and Sunny helped us find the exact home that we were looking for and were with us every step of the way. They made the home buying process a breeze. Recently, they helped my mother sell her home as she transitioned to assisted living. Scott and Sunny were the first call that I made and they were great again.Look no further because this is the real estate team you are looking for!
I have purchased property from Scott and Sunny and they currently manage my property. They are "best in class" by orders of magnitude. They deliver impeccably, are fun and relaxed in their work, and surround themselves with a top-notch team that makes it all look easy. You CANNOT do better than these two. - Ellen LaPointe
Scott and Sunny know real estate in the Greater Portland Area, but they also know how to hire and manage of team of exceptional people. We have work with the Scott and Sunny Townsend Team as renters and buyers over the past 5 years. We rented from them for 4 years before deciding to purchase a home. From our initial experiences with Sonny and Ellen to our work with Scott, Katie and the team behind the scenes when purchasing our home, we knew we were working with professionals. It is becoming increasingly rare to work with people, in any business, who are fully engaged and listen to their clients. Scott, Sunny and their team have a talent for this. I want to thank Katie Brooke for her patience as we dragged her to all corners of the Greater Portland Area, and for her honest and up front suggestions, inquiries and impressions while looking for a home. There were a few moments where we were ready to settle for a home, and it would have been easy for Katie to agree and make the sale and move on. To her credit, she gave us her honest option, suggested we continue looking because she feared we would not be happy in the long term. This is the definition of integrity and exceptional service. While Katie was showing us properties, the staff was equally busy searching for and emailing us requested information. Scott and Sunny even sent a member of their staff to Scarborough Town Hall to photocopy and scan original deeds and plans that we requested. Again, the level of customer service is exceptional. We have recommended the Scott and Sunny Townsend team to friends and family for their real estate needs, and we will continue to do so. We now reside in a beautiful home in a great neighbor, and we are so happy. Thank you again, Todd Devenish, Scarborough, ME
No one knows Scarborough like Scott and Sunny. Their team knows what's available, what's the current market valus and what to do to get your home ready for sale. We sold in less than 2 days and are very happy with their advice, work and professionalism.
Scott and Sunny listed and sold our property and that was a great experience. They were "right on" in their analysis and the property sold quickly. They also provide rental services to another property we own and they, and their staff, continue to provide outstanding services to us.We are most happy to share our experiences with all and certainly would not hesitate to deal with Scott and Sunny in the future, if and when necessary.
Scott & Sunny have helped me buy or sell 3 times now and every time I am am impressed with their level of expertise and ability to make things happen. They priced both of my home sales perfectly and we were under contract in less than 3 days. When we encountered several seller obstacles during our last purchase together, Scott handled each one with a calm professionalism that was spectacular to witness. I trust them implicitly and recommend them exclusively.
I have worked with real estate agents up and down the eastern seabord as well as Europe. Scott and Sunny Townsend top the list. They know the market inside and out. As importantly, they listened and took the time to understand what I was looking for. Extraordinarily responsive, I felt I had to be their only client and believe all of their clients feel the same way! They helped me to purchase my first home in Maine, then when I decided to move they helped me to sell it, in what was then a difficult market, and purchase a new home that is perfect! Scott and Sunny continue to be a valuable resource and I don't hesitate to refer anyone who is thinking about real estate to them.

Scott and Sunny are a vibrant, knowledgable young team with a mission to get things done relevant to your real estate needs.While their record is very strong, the one suggestion to be made, is rather than focus on volume of sales is to focus on the clients themselves and their true ability for a above list price. Fair market value does not always apply to each and every situation.We wish them luck..they should serve you well..
I've worked with Scott on 3 real estate transactions. I've had different needs at different points of my life. Scott has been able to work with me at a personal level to understand my needs and wants, and then execute a strategy for success. On our last transaction, Scott worked with us very closely to understand what we were looking for, and then managed to find our dream home and network locally to get us in before the house even went on the market. We went under contract on the house for far less than we expected to spend. Scott is an expert in his market, has a keen sense of trends both locally and nationally and it is obvious to me that he strives for continuous improvement with himself and his team. I think the biggest difference with Scott is that he is proactive, and not reactive to my needs. He works with you to understand your goals, and then proactively goes to work.
