Welcome to our newest blog about our Broadway on the Isle show.

BOTI is a wonderful fundraiser that we are sponsoring for the benefit of the Criterion Theatre and Arts Center. Save the date, August 7th at 8PM at the Criterion.

Our own Ellen Domingos - singer/actress extraordinaire and our newest real estate pro - (www.ellendomingos.com) - is Directing the show AND starring along with our friend, the incredibly talented John McVeigh. John is a world known opera singer and we are so lucky to have him as a part of this show. He is also an amazing jewelry designer and will be featured at a trunk show at Pomegranate Style in Northeast Harbor the next day - August 8th. (www.johnmcveighdesigns.com)

Ellen and John are joined by a fabulous group of local singers who are graciously donating their talent and exuberance to make this a truly memorable show - hopefully the first annual of a much anticipated yearly event.

Tickets are available at all three of our offices and are all reserved seats so get yours soon! Let’s fill the place and celebrate this amazing jewel and support the preservation of the Criterion, an essential part of our community’s history and future.

Keep checking back on the blog. Ellen will be giving frequent updates leading up to the show - hopefully our performers will too! And of course I will, I got a chance to sit in on part of rehearsal last weekend and am just blown away by the generosity of everyone to contribute their talents for the benefit of the Theatre.

See you at the show! Kim

Now for our third blog topic, our lodging division. If you have questions or comments about any of our inns or B&Bs, feel free to ask here. We will also be posting all of our sales, with the new owner’s names so that you can contact them and congratulate them on their purchases. Stay tuned.

Welcome to our newest blog topic. People ask us all the time what a house sold for. It is public knowledge, just a little hard to find and takes a while to get reported to the Town Offices. Just post the address here and we’ll post the sale price.

The big question of the day for residential buyers is this: “what are you waiting for?” Some people are starting to pick up perceived bargains in the market throughout Maine. Some people are saying they are going to wait a little longer. We’re curious… Is there an interest rate you are waiting for? A level of market activity?

Commercial and lodging buyers aren’t waiting - that segment is healthy as we start approaching the “season.”

What are your thoughts? Brokers, what are buyers telling you?
