Company History

Swan Agency Real Estate has a long history of proven market experience and dominance. Here’s a look back on how we’ve grown from a single office in Bar Harbor to a strong, statewide presence:

Established on April 1st, 1975 by Cary and June Swan, The Swan Agency handled both insurance and real estate sales. After working in the family business, Kim Swan obtained her real estate license. In 1994 she purchased the real estate side of the company and The Swan Agency – Real Estate was born.

The successful mission to affiliate the best brokers and administrative staff in the business resulted in residential and commercial sales growing at an impressive rate in the Bar Harbor office. A second component was added to The Swan Agency – Real Estate in 1995, Maine’s Lodging Brokerage. The niche market of inns/bed and breakfasts sales on Mount Desert Island was broadened to represent the properties throughout the entire state of Maine.

In an effort to broaden their market share across Mount Desert Island, it became apparent that a branch office in Northeast Harbor was needed. The Northeast Harbor office opened its doors in July 2004 to meet increasing demands. In 2010, Swan Agency Real Estate formed the Greater Portland Group, to better represent properties in Kennebunkport, Cape Elizabeth, Greater Portland, the Mid-Coast area and beyond.

Today, Swan Agency Real Estate is a leader in real estate sales throughout the state of Maine. Our brokers are experts in their markets, and offer clients unparalleled service.
