"Erica is awesome! She had my back and her network of connections was great to have at my disposal. It was a difficult sale and Erica stuck with it giving it the attention it required and advocated for me despite it being a smaller sale.”

"One could not ask for a better realtor than Lori. She knew exactly what to set the price at and she was perfect in her contacting and helping with all pertinent information. Lori also went above and beyond her duties to make sure we had a happy buyer and a very smooth sale. She is a superb realtor, truly." - Scott Hornsby, Maine 

Our experience with the Swan Agency has been very good. Having been through two closings with Dana Moos, both for the purchase of Bar Harbor Cottages and now the sale as well, we would only want to work with Dana in the future for any real estate transactions in Maine. She has always been very pleasant and professional and she is a powerful advocate for us because of her thorough knowledge of the hospitality business. We look forward to working with her and The Swan Agency in the future. Thank you. - Ward & Valerie Farren, Bar Harbor, Maine

Gail Caruso is a true professional and a pleasure to work with. It was easy for her to see how unique our house was, what value that brought to potential buyers and the pleasure it would bring them. She was a beacon for us in a challenging market which changed weekly. Thanks Gail! - Peter & Beverly, Bar Harbor, Maine

We worked with Dana when buying our Inn. We can’t say enough great things about her. If you are looking to purchase an Inn she is the one you want representing you. She was extremely organized and kept us all on track. She is a very knowledgeable broker in regards to the industry and Maine laws. It would not have been a smooth transaction without her. We appreciate everything she has done and looking forward to hosting her in the future. -Jon Hendrickson, Maine

Dana is THE person to know if you are buying or selling your Inn in Maine. She has so much knowledge about the market, can put you in touch with the right people, and has inside scoop on Inns that may not be on the market yet. We loved our buying experience with Dana. She really helped us figure out what we wanted in a bed & breakfast, and found the perfect spot for us (and it wasn’t even on the market!) - Michelle, Maine 

I would highly recommend using Dana Moos if you are considering purchasing an Inn in Maine! My husband, Matt, and I were new to the industry and Dana walked us through the entire process. Her goal far exceeds landing a deal, she genuinely wants her clients to succeed. Dana customizes revenue spreadsheets to help with financial analysis, is familiar with all aspects of Innkeeping having been an Innkeeper herself and works as a liaison with bankers and attorneys on your behalf. As a talented and published chef, she is happy to share her expertise with her clients, down to how to poach an egg correctly! We were very fortunate to have found Dana and could not imagine going through the process with anyone else! - Matt & Nicole, Maine 

If you are considering purchasing a bed and breakfast inn in Maine, or planning to sell one - Dana is the only broker you should consider to represent you. She is fully licensed in Maine; only sells in Maine and knows the state better than anyone - that is a huge benefit to you. And she is more than a broker - she is a consultant and coach and she is there to help you as needed after the sale. We worked with Dana on both the purchase of our inn and also to sell it. As a former inn owner/keeper and an acclaimed chef, she knows the business and the elements needed for success and will answer your text anytime you need some guidance. She is candid on her assessment of properties and on the strengths and weakness of a property you are planning to sell - all valuable to insights to you. She is also a lot of fun to work with and helps remove some of the stress in the process. She IS Maine’s hospitality broker. - Carolyn, Maine

Erika is a dream. We had some issues and she was in constant communication with me. I couldn't have asked for a better broker, friend, or support. She is above and beyond anything we every expected in a broker. I feel so lucky to have worked with her. -CC, Mount Desert, Maine
