The Maine Inn Team launched our Innkeeper Workshops with two offerings to choose from: Two Day Weekend Workshop for Aspiring Maine Innkeepers; or One Day In-Depth Workshop for Future Sellers. And then COVID-19 hit.
Covid-19 changed so many things in our lives. And so like many, we are adapting and will be offering ZOOM virtual aspiring innkeeper workshops. Join The Maine Inn Team for an aspiring innkeeper workshop. We love to educate!
What’s involved? An intensive 7 hour course to be held on weekends, with a break between, in 3 1/2 hour sessions each weekend day.

“Buying or selling an inn can be a relatively long process. We don’t just take part in a quick transaction, we establish relationships. The sale is not our goal. Your success is our goal. And our relationship doesn’t end at the closing table” – The Maine Inn Team
The rates we are seeing in hospitality lending in Maine right now are still relatively low (average +/- 5%) for commercial loans, and are certainly no higher than residential rates today. In fact, some I’ve seen are lower than residential!
Not everyone who is a licensed real estate agent is a Realtor®?
A Realtor® is a licensed real estate salesperson who belongs to the National Association of Realtors®, the largest trade group in the country. Realtors® are held to a higher ethical standard than licensed agents and must adhere to a Code of Ethics. Some Realtors® are brokers, while some are associate brokers or sales agents. These are varying levels of education, licensing and often responsibilities.
And hospitality ‘Consultants’ not licensed in the state of Maine are not held to any standards the way we are here as licensed Realtors® in Maine, where consumer protection is paramount.
