History
Locally owned and operated, and headquartered in Portland, Maine, Keller Williams Realty Maine continues to surpass all Maine real estate agencies in both transaction count and volume sold.
Four visionary women, Dottie Bowe, Leanne Barschdorf Nichols, Cathy Manchester and Linda Paolino Naylon, (the Investor Group) started the franchise in 2003 after learning about the company’s mission, models and systems from the Founder and Executive Chairman of Keller Williams, Gary Keller.
Since it’s inception, Keller Williams Realty Maine has contended in the top five most profitable KW offices in North America, sharing over $1 million in Profit Share for six consecutive years with the Associates who have helped grow the company to over 500 agents.
Over the years, the company has expanded it’s footprint beyond the Portland Market Center office with Business Center offices now in Auburn, Bangor, Brunswick, Cornish, Damariscotta, Kennebunk, and Saco. The office is also licensed in several states in addition to Maine; Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire.
