Hi, I’m Scott Blanchard.
For a long time, Maine was an idyllic spot where I looked forward to spending my summer vacations.
Like so many permanent residents in Southern Maine, I grew up in Massachusetts. Upon my 14th birthday, I began working summers in Ogunquit at a local ice cream shop. For the next 7 consecutive summers, I developed a deeper appreciation and passion for the York County ocean communities. I knew more than 40 years ago, someday Maine would become my year round home!
Decades later, when I returned to vacation at the same beaches and shops with my own children, the connection still felt fresh. The couple of weeks we spent at the beach every year went by far too quickly.
Finally, in 2004, my wife and I purchased land and built in Cape Neddick. At first, we summered here, but we’re now full-time residents. Maine is, and has been, just the right fit for us.
Years ago, I began a second career as a Realtor. I’ve always been fascinated by the real estate business whether buying, selling, or building. I’m proud to leverage more than 30 years of negotiating contracts gained as a senior executive earlier in my career. With hundreds of completed transactions, I am genuinely delighted by my career choice!
If you’re looking at properties in southern Maine or wondering about the way life could be, let’s talk. Together we’ll develop a plan to achieve your real estate dreams and goals.
What People Are Saying
“Steve and I are sitting this morning having coffee, reading the Sunday newspaper, overlooking the deck, marsh and ocean at our beautiful new home on Moody Point. We can say without a doubt, we would not be in our new home if it weren’t for Scott’s efforts and his hard work on our behalf.
While there were some hurdles getting to the closing table, he worked diligently to resolve every issue. He was available to take our calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We can’t say enough about his professionalism, extensive knowledge of the market and his connections in the area. He is definitely the best!”
— J. D’Amico | Wells, Maine
“We first met Scott while viewing a home in York and found him to be a wealth of knowledge. He explained the good and bad points about the structural backbone of the home as well as the inner workings and upkeep of the systems within the house.
We knew very quickly that he’s not your usual Realtor. He took great care confirming that he fully understood our wants and needs in our home; driving us around neighborhoods ensuring we appreciated our location and of course making sure we knew which restaurants to frequent. He even found out we loved popcorn and stocked his car with bags of popcorn!
For us, the journey ended where it began. The very first house we saw with Scott turned out to be the ultimate home for us. While there were many stops along the way before we came to this realization, Scott provided us with enough knowledge to be confident in our decision. Now we are Maine-iacs! We are thrilled that our search is over but even more thrilled that we met a wonderful person whom we now count as our friend.”

“We became Scott’s clients by chance, but he was the best agent we could have hoped for. We first met Scott while browsing properties for sale online. When we found one we thought looked promising, we clicked on the tab to obtain more information, and Scott immediately contacted us. We met with him to see that first property, which did not turn out to be what we were looking for, but Scott used that experience to encourage us to further explore our real estate wants and needs. At the time, we were only vaguely aware of what we were looking for, but Scott helped us to think more specifically about the location, size, and type of property that would uniquely suit us. After looking at a couple of other homes with Scott that were “not quite it,” we found “the one.” This place had everything we wanted and needed, plus several additional positive features, and it was in our price range. After finding our dream house, submitting an offer went quickly. Scott assisted us in every aspect of writing the offer and negotiating the final price.
We felt that he was completely supportive of us as we went through the process, and his advice was, literally, priceless.
After a couple of back and forth offers and counter-offers, we were able to buy our wonderful new home at a lower price than we had imagined we could. Buying a new home meant that we had to sell the one in which we were currently living. We had loved that place for many years, but knew it was time to move on. This time, Scott represented us as a seller’s agent rather than as a buyer’s agent. Despite this change in role, we again felt that Scott was completely supportive. Even before we had our home ready for sale, he discussed offering it as a “coming soon” property on one of the multiple listing websites, and we agreed to do that. The result was that, thanks to Scott, we had multiple offers prior to actually listing our property for sale. Scott helped us determine what would be the best offer and conditions for us. Within a very brief period of time, we sold our home for several thousand dollars over asking price, and with the terms we wanted.
We love our new home and are extremely grateful to Scott Blanchard for making the process of buying and selling so successful and so easy for us.”
