Helped me buy and sell homes • 2026
If you’re looking for realtors who actually know the Brunswick and Midcoast Maine market — not just the listings, but the data, the trends, who’s who, and how to use all of it — Brent and Lisa with Portside Realty are it. We’d been talking to them for years before we were ready to make a move. Then the market shifted and our timeline went from “someday” to “now,” and they didn’t miss a beat.We’re a growing family, so we needed more space but didn’t want to lose easy access to downtown Brunswick — which is a tough ask in this market. They got it immediately and found exactly what we needed. Along the way they negotiated everything on our behalf and sold our previous home for well over asking, which honestly exceeded what we expected going in.What stood out most was how they backed everything up — pricing decisions, timing, negotiation strategy — with real market data and years of relationships in the area. When issues came up, they already had the right vendor lined up to handle it, no scrambling. Responsive the entire time, never had to chase them down for an answer.We got exactly what we needed, and more. If you’re buying or selling in Brunswick or Midcoast Maine, talk to Brent and Lisa at Portside Realty.

Working with Brent was terrific. No sooner did I reach out to Brent and his team we were on the phone going over the basics of looking at houses, what my wife and I were looking for in a house and if there were any houses we were looking at. Brent brought warm, fun, and professional energy to our meetings and luck would have it we nailed our first house within in a week (seriously lucky). Brent and his team are amazing and it was an absolute pleasure to work with them.

Helped me buy home • Central Hallowell, ME • 2025
A last-minute job offer with a super-quick turnaround left my husband Hugh and me with precious little time to find our dream home. We’d visited Maine on a few occasions and loved it, but being from North Carolina, we were completely out of our depth in considering both where to live and also which home would be the right fit for us. Enter Portside Real Estate Group. When I hopped on the internet and asked for the best real estate agents in Brunswick, Maine, Brent + Lisa’s group was at the top of the list. I immediately felt at ease in talking with Brent. He offered great insights and resources and then connected me with another team member, Addie Peet. If possible, I felt even more certain we were in good hands when Addie and I connected. During the one weekend Hugh and I came to find our home, Addie patiently spent a good amount of time showing us around Central Maine. She was a wealth of insight about the towns, the formal and informal vibes, the resources. All of it. After finding our dream home, Addie stayed on point, guiding us seamlessly through the rest of the process. She connected us with great folks for the loan, the inspection, even giving us the name of great handyman. We have been in our home for three weeks and absolutely love it. We have the deepest gratitude for Addie, Brent and the good folks at Portside Real Estate Group. Their warmth and professionalism easily place them as the cream of the Maine Realtors crop.

Listed and sold a home • Crestview Brunswick, ME • 2025
OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE – ABOVE AND BEYOND IN EVERY WAY!Brent and Lisa from the Portside Real Estate Group were nothing short of phenomenal. They recently handled the sale of my father’s home in Brunswick, Maine, and I can honestly say I’ve never encountered realtors as professional, dedicated, and communicative as this team.From start to finish, Brent and Lisa went above and beyond what I ever expected. Not only did they sell the home quickly, but they achieved a final sale price that was 10% over asking — a testament to their smart strategy, market knowledge, and tireless effort.What really sets them apart, though, is how much they cared. They helped manage the entire process with empathy and professionalism, even assisting with furniture logistics during the estate sale — something most agents wouldn’t even consider. Their communication was impeccable throughout. I never had to chase them down for updates or wonder what was happening — they kept me informed every step of the way, and I always felt like a priority.If you're looking for realtors who are not just good but exceptional, I can’t recommend Brent and Lisa highly enough. They made a difficult time much easier, and they delivered outstanding results with kindness and class.Thank you both — you truly exceeded every expectation!

I recently had the privilege of working with Brent Sawyer from Portside Real Estate Group to sell my property, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. Brent's expertise and dedication made the entire process swift and hassle-free, especially considering that I'm from out of state. He quickly identified a selling strategy, allowing us to go under contract with ease. Brent's responsiveness and attention to detail were truly remarkable.Brent's professionalism and dedication to his clients are exceptional. He was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and address any concerns I had. His extensive knowledge of the local real estate market and the home selling process put me at ease, knowing I was in capable hands.Thank you, Brent, for making my experience an exceptional one!

Brent and Lisa are incredible. We started our housing journey in 2021 and bought our first condo with Brent and Lisa as our realtor(s) fast forward to Summer 2023 we found our dream home and immediately knew who to call. We sold our first home (the condo) and bought our forever home. We have done three transactions with Brent and Lisa and could not be more satisfied with the services provided. They have always answered ALL of our questions and concerns immediately and are great, honest, kind, and trustworthy people. They are extremely knowledgeable and know what they are doing which shows in their work. If you are looking for realtors who genuinely care about you and have your best interests in mind- look no further, you will be in the best hands! We could not recommend them more!!!

Brent is an exceptional agent - he works tirelessly, responds quickly, and focuses on getting to the best outcome for everyone involved in a transaction. We discussed dozens of properties over a period of three years, including several aborted attempts, until we finally found one that fit our particular and specific needs (large with many rooms, very quiet street, excellent schools, but not fancy or too modern). As we were moving in from out of state Brent made himself available to fit our schedule, packing weekends with marathon viewings. During the offer process, he provided excellent insight and guidance and helped us feel secure in our choices. His dedication to clients and the industry is above and beyond expectation. Top recommendation.

Brent and Lisa are terrific to work with-knowledgeable, responsive, patient, thorough, flexible, great listeners-and just really nice people. We first met Brent almost a year before our purchase when we contacted him about one of his listings during our summer visit. We were just starting to consider a move back home to Maine, and he spent a lot of time with us that day, not knowing whether we’d actually even proceed with the move. Over the next several months, he worked with us from across the country as we explored new construction and existing properties, single family homes and condos. As we arrived in Maine, expecting a long search after selling our house in WA, Brent and Lisa had just the right property coming on the market in exactly the location where we hoped to be. They helped us seal the deal quickly and we closed just 2 weeks later. They’re enthusiastic and committed to the area, great resources and always warm and friendly when we see them about in the community. Highly recommended!

I recently worked with Lisa and Brent on the sale of my first home and the purchase of my second. They are very knowledgeable about the real estate market as well as the needs of a growing family. I felt supported through the entire process and would greatly recommend this real estate team to anyone in the Greater Brunswick region that is looking to purchase or sell a home.

Listed and sold a home • 2022
Brent and Lisa helped me sell an existing home and purchase another in the wild winter 2022 southern Maine real estate market. My previous home had quirks that could have made a sale challenging - Brent took the time to educate himself and prepare for the onslaught of questions from buyer agents; the property was under contract in just a few short days. Brent proactively negotiated very favorable terms to allow for my smooth and low-stress transition out of the property. Lisa is the glue that keeps the operation together and transactions moving; she (and Polly and Sunny!) were critical in helping me find (and win!) a new spot in a record-low inventory environment. I am so grateful for Brent and Lisa; Brent commented once "I hope I will always be your real estate agent!" - I can confidently say that will certainly be the case. Can't go wrong with Brent and Lisa - they care, they are knowledgeable, they know how to win, and are truly great people.
