Today I’m excited to tell you about Two Brothers Pizzeria and Deli, a great spot located at 213 North St. in Saco, Maine. I’m joined by Brady and Justin, the two brothers who are the inspiration for Two Brothers and the reason it’s here.

They use a hand-tossed pizza dough and make their own sauce in-house. Check out the video above for a live demonstration of how they make their handmade dough for their brick oven pizza.

Some special items here include their marinated steak tips and chicken breasts as well. They also hope to be doing deliveries by the middle of next summer. For more info, you can check out their Facebook page.

If you come, mention Deja Lett and you’ll get $1 off your next pizza!

In the meantime, give me a call if you have any questions about the real estate market here in southern Maine or you’re looking to buy or sell a home. I’d be happy to help you!

Biddeford Business Spotlight on Dirigo Brewing Company

We’re excited to spotlight a great local business today. Mark Paulin is with us from Dirigo Brewing Company and we’re here to talk to Mark a little bit about how the business got started and share some exciting news about what’s coming next.

Many of you know Mark from the car repair business. How did he get into the brewing industry? Well, for starters, he wanted to make people happy. While he was able to give great auto repair service to his clients, nobody is ever happy when they get a $1,000 bill. Mark noticed that people were never unhappy when drinking beer, so why not try something like this? The craft beer industry is exploding and Mark believes they’ve got something pretty special here with Dirigo.

Dirigo Brewing Company makes old-world style German lagers and ales. They primarily focus on lagers because there aren’t a lot of them in the craft brewing world. They are difficult to make and can cost a lot if you don’t have the right equipment. You can make an ale in 14 days and hide a lot of the imperfections. With lagers, everything has to be just perfect for things to come out right. Mark embraces that challenge.

They do a lot of cool special events here at DBC. They’ll have live entertainment here on the weekends, as well as other special events. The best place to get the latest information about the events is through their Facebook page. One big piece of news to note is that they have recently partnered up with Richie’s Jerk and Barbecue to serve food. You’ll be able to come down to the brewery, order some food, and enjoy the atmosphere while drinking some delicious suds.

One more thing we wanted to mention is that we are actually holding a class here for homebuyers soon. Our “Hoppy Homebuyers” event is March 15th from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., so keep an eye out for that.

If you are a buyer, keep in mind that inventory is still low. However, interest rates have gone up. If you were pre-approved in the past few months, you should check in with your lender to see what your current rate is and how that increase has affected your purchasing power.

Thanks so much to Mark for joining us today. If you have any questions for us in the meantime, don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

What to Expect From Real Estate in 2017



Welcome to the 2017 real estate market. I have a few tips for buyers and sellers this year, as well as a small favor to ask.

Happy New Year and welcome to 2017!

First, I want to thank you all for an amazing 2016. We were able to help 145 people achieve their real estate goals. We are so grateful to our clients, friends, and family members and all of the support you gave our business in 2016.

As we look ahead to the 2017 real estate market, I have a few tips for buyers and sellers.

If you are a buyer, keep in mind that inventory is still low. However, interest rates have gone up. If you were pre-approved in the past few months, you should check in with your lender to see what your current rate is and how that increase has affected your purchasing power.

and sellers alike.

If you are a seller, it’s important that you get competitive. I recommend speaking with a knowledgeable, local real estate agent who sells a lot of homes in your area. Keep in mind that rising interest rates will affect you, too. Rising interest rates may push some buyers out of the market, which means there will be a smaller buyer pool out there for your home.

Finally, I have a quick favor to ask. If you have any questions about the real estate market or if there are other real estate topics you would like to learn more about, please send me an email. Ask me a question and I will answer it in my next blog post!

In the meantime, if you have any questions about buying or selling a home, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I would be happy to help you!
