In the Words of our Clients
Success Stories
"We found Sarah and Courtney through a blind email to the Portside website, and at first, we didn’t realize our good luck. At the time, we lived out of state but had been looking at property online in Maine. We corresponded with them and talked on the… phone, then planned a trip to Portland. Before we arrived, Courtney sent us a detailed list of neighborhoods to explore, along with restaurants and coffee shops that she thought might suit us and our kids (as with so much else, her food recommendations were spot on). Courtney’s thoughtful planning for that trip set the tone for our relationship with her and Sarah during our nearly yearlong search to buy a home. We first met them on a cold, dreary weekend in February and were immediately impressed by Sarah’s deep knowledge of neighborhoods and schools and Courtney’s down-to-earth demeanor and attention to detail. There wasn’t much to see - at least one just-listed place canceled our showing because they’d already accepted an offer. This would turn out to be par for the course. But despite a chaotic, fast-moving, and frustrating market, with low inventory, high prices, and rising interest rates, Courtney and Sarah never lost faith in our ability to find the right place. They were wise, responsive, and constantly available to consult, troubleshoot, and advise. They guided us through a nail-biting night when an offer deadline was suddenly moved up and we were looking at documents on our phones while trying to feed our kids dinner. They consoled us when great properties danced just out of our reach. And finally, they helped us find and clinch the deal on a house that makes sense for our family, and that we love. Even after we closed, their faithful and generous support didn’t end. They have been fonts of knowledge on all things homeowner-related. We’re relieved to have made it this far, but bummed that we don’t get to hang out with Courtney and Sarah on weekends anymore! We can’t say enough about their great work ethic, kindness, and commitment to their clients. They’re a terrific team and we’ll always be grateful for their support and straightforwardness during a stressful, but ultimately rewarding, house hunt."

"Above and beyond is an understatement when it comes to the service that the Delisle and Sweeton Team provide. From the start, we knew we were in good hands. No one looks forward to house hunting or house selling but they made a very stressful situati… on as easy as it can be. We felt that they got to know us on a personal level and understood exactly what we were looking for. We very quickly found our dream home that checked all of our boxes. They were fantastic every step of the way and ultimately got us over the finish line with the closing. We then doubled down and used them again when we decided to sell our home. They were masters of decluttering, cleaning, feng shui, and everything involved in making our house ready to put on the market. On a personal and professional level, we felt very comfortable and fortunate to have them. You are in very good hands when you are working with the Delisle Sweeton Team. We are grateful for all they did and their friendship. They are simply the best!"

"My experience working with Sarah and Courtney was fantastic. My husband and I were purchasing in Maine from South Carolina so being able to trust our agents was incredibly important. Sarah and Courtney were quick to focus on whether the home was in a… good area, which aspects of the home would likely need work and replacement, and the overall feel of the listing. In this challenging market, we needed a team on our side that knew what was best for us and not just what would “win us the house”. Nick and I were incredibly thankful to always feel like we were making the best decision with every offer (or pass!) we made. I likely spoke to them more often than my closest friends over the last couple of months and I wouldn’t change a thing! Working with Sarah and Courtney will put you in the best possible position to find (or sell) your dream home in this wild market."

"My husband and I were in the market for a new home for nearly three years. We had a long list of “must haves”, and the search at times felt impossible. Throughout, the Delisle Sweeton Team (Sarah, Courtney, and Bethany) was encouraging and energetic … and helped keep our hope alive. They have an extensive network of contractors who take the risk out of buying and selling in a hot market. When our house came on the market, my husband and I were on different schedules, and knowing that Sarah and Courtney had folks ready to inspect and give estimates on short notice was a comfort when we couldn’t be there in person. Their collective knowledge of the market and network of contractors landed us a house we didn’t think was possible to buy on the peninsula. Our collective persistence landed us a forever home!"

"Having someone like Courtney as your real estate agent is nothing short of a gift. We felt expertly guided through the whole home buying and selling process with her at the helm. Courtney is transparent and direct, making her an excellent communicato… r. She is kind and patient when you need the support, knowledgeable, responsive, and best of all, she isn't afraid to *literally* get her hands dirty (ie. she will crawl into the creepy crawly spaces so you don't have to, no matter how cute her outfit is.) To top it off, she's backed by the lovely powerhouse Sarah Delisle and Portside Real Estate, and all of them are constantly working to better their community by giving back and helping out. Thank you, Courtney, for all of your hard work and subsequent friendship!"

"My wife and I came to Sarah under extraordinarily stressful circumstances - our rental was being sold and we had only a few months to find our new home in this incredibly competitive market. Sarah took on the challenge with grace, humor, and tenacity… . Her knowledge of the market, the available housing stock, and strategies to make our offer competitive were invaluable. We were aggressive in our search and Sarah was there with us every step of the way. She offered candid advice about each of the many, many homes we viewed and we trusted her completely. Sarah cared not only about us finding a home but the right home for us. As first-time home buyers, we quite simply would not have made it through this process and into our first home without Sarah by our side."

Buyer
"Sarah and Courtney are gifted, engaged, and extremely helpful partners in real estate ventures. It was a mere 15 days from our first meeting to a signed purchase and sale agreement! Sarah and Courtney are highly professional realtors who are enthusia… stic and energetic, knowledgeable about market trends, and always ready to help with anything they know the right people for quick turnaround painting or contracting, etc. They are excellent at communication, most often responding immediately to texts, emails, and calls. Additionally, they have a wonderful sense of aesthetics, made good use of staging my house while I lived there, and even brought decorative items from their own collection. Sarah and Courtney know how to destress the sale of your home."

Leo
Buyer
"Sarah and Courtney are by far the best team you can find in the market. From day one, they provided us with so much knowledge as first-time homebuyers - from connecting us to the right lender, sharing info about various neighborhoods, updating us on … market trends, quickly negotiating and communicating with other realtors, and helping us hone in our search - we feel so grateful that we had them in our corner during our search. They helped us land our first home, and we can't wait to grow our roots in Portland."
Kassi C.
Buyer
"Sarah represented us as buyers and sellers and went over and above the call of duty on several occasions to deal with issues that arose from the other real estate agents involved in our transactions. Cannot recommend her enough. She is professional a… nd hard-working and you would not be making a mistake if choosing her to represent you."
