York ME Real Estate Agency Partners with Ogunquit River Properties After Record Breaking Home Sale

Jan. 2, 2009 - PRLog -- Anne Erwin Sotheby’s International Realty, recently announced its new affiliation with Ogunquit River Properties’ real estate professional Karen Maxwell of Ogunquit, Maine. The announcement followed a record-breaking Ogunquit oceanfront home sale for $5,400,000, set by Anne Erwin Sotheby’s International Realty.

Maxwell was the founder of Ogunquit River Properties, which she has operated for twenty three years. Specializing in Ogunquit, Maine real estate, Ogunquit River Properties services buyers and sellers in and around Ogunquit, Maine. The real estate partnership will afford Maxwell’s Ogunquit clients an unparalleled platform of international marketing, reputation, and brand value.  Anne Erwin Sotheby’s International Realty will provide buyers a broader portfolio of exclusive Sotheby’s homes and land in York County.

“My clients, whether they are my sellers or buyers, are quite sophisticated and deserve top-notch representation and well honed skills from their real estate professional” said Maxwell.  “Not only is it the caliber of their professionals, but their standards of practice, ethics and training are commensurate with the standards I expect of myself; I could not imagine a better match.”

Maxwell is a licensed Realtor in Maine and Massachusetts and will be expanding her licensing to include New Hampshire, joining the growing team of New Hampshire licensed Anne Erwin Sotheby’s International Realty agents. She is the former president of the Ogunquit Playhouse Foundation, has served as a Director since 1996, and currently chairs their Advisory Council.  She is dedicated to preserving cultural landmarks and has donated countless hours to this pursuit.   Her civic contributions have included Past President of the Ogunquit Rotary Club, former chair and member of the Ogunquit Board of Selectmen, fundraiser for Beach Plum Farm in Ogunquit, den mother for Boy Scouts and Incorporator for Visiting Nurse Association.  She is a graduate of Boston College and mother of two.  Her free time is enjoyed with her extensive family, playing golf, boating and gardening.  

The partnership between Anne Erwin Sotheby’s International Realty and Ogunquit River Properties came just after the sale of an oceanfront home in Ogunquit that set the record for the highest price ever recorded in York County.  The luxurious oceanfront home, sold for $5,400,000, tops the previous record by over $1 million, set in 2007 – also by Anne Erwin Sotheby’s International Realty.                                                                                                        

“Amidst all the dire news about falling prices, bank foreclosures, and record declines in home sales, we are poised to not only meet the challenges of today’s marketplace, but to exceed expectations,” said owner of Anne Erwin Sotheby’s International Realty Eileen Roberts. “Our new partnership with Ogunquit River Properties, the recent record sale, and the launch of our new website are all constant reminders to our real estate team and hopefully the community to keep our heads up, stay positive, and seek out opportunities during this tremulous time.”
