Cruising Midcoast Maine for Work and Play

Have you ever wondered what's different about selling a luxury property? We love hearing from our LandVest brokers, their experiences and what they love about their job. We are pleased to see that the latest special edition of Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors features an article by our Camden broker, Terry Sortwell.

In "Shada - a capable boat for both work and play," Terry writes about the history of his latest boat and how it's complemented his brokerage business.

shadaThe Shada is a Holland 38 built by Holland's Boat Shop in Belfast, ME. Glenn Holland's advertising slogan for his boats is: "Likes to work. Likes to play. You make the call."

Terry commutes to work and checks out really beautiful waterfront and island properties from the water instead of the road. Click here to read his article and see below for some of the beautiful places he gets to visit. Is that work or play?
