Email: ohbetsydunn@gmail.com
Betsy Dunn believes in the American dream and celebrates the fact that the United States distinguishes itself as being a country where the average person can own real estate and that it can be a source of housing, community connection and wealth building. It has been that and more for Betsy since she purchased her first home in Dixmont Maine, a true fixer upper in every sense of the word, but when sold, funded the next project on Vinal Haven island. Thirty-five properties later to include developing a subdivision, renovating an old fish camp and marina in Florida, commercial spaces, renovating dilapidated abandoned buildings and a couple of new builds, she has completed her latest project in Nobleboro; moving a barn onto a vacant piece of land and finishing it as her current home. Her earlier career was in the food industry cooking in restaurants and food shops in Massachusetts and Maine. She has worked as a Realtor/ Broker in mid coast Maine as well as in Florida and loves to use her knowledge and experience to help others transition through life changes. She enjoys the challenge of finding the potential in property, putting together “a good match” and making sound decisions around the investment that real estate is. In her spare time, she loves to garden, cook, do a little bit of writing and spend time with her two daughters, family and friends.
