Serving the hospitality industry,
Selling the hospitality lifestyle.
I am a licensed Maine Real Estate Broker, a Realtor®️, Hospitality Consultant, Investor, Experienced Innkeeper, and Cookbook Author.
Since 2008, I’ve specialized in hospitality brokerage, closing more than $240 million in sales across 100+ properties. My background as both an innkeeper and investor gives me a unique advantage—combining first-hand operational insight with deep real estate expertise.
Buying or selling a hospitality property is more than a real estate deal—it’s an investment in lifestyle, business, and hospitality. I help clients navigate these unique complexities with confidence, guiding them through every step of the process.
My commitment extends well beyond the closing table. I pride myself on being an accessible, long-term partner who understands that true success begins after the papers are signed. Whether building an investment portfolio or realizing the dream of ownership, my clients’ success is always my priority.
With a proven blend of marketing expertise, financial insight, and a deep understanding of Maine’s tourism and hospitality landscape, I bring both strategy and vision to every transaction. Sellers benefit from a seamless process from listing to closing, while buyers gain a trusted guide and advocate to uncover opportunities with clarity and purpose.
The hospitality industry is my sole focus. I love Maine and love what I do.
