Portside Real Estate Group to open new headquarters at 417 Rte. 1 in Falmouth, ME

Falmouth, ME Portside Real Estate Group plans to open a new headquarters location at 417 Rte. 1. The new location will buck the current real estate trend of remote work, and offer agents a place to collaborate with colleagues and have more face-to-face interactions with clients.

“As we reach our five-year milestone, we felt that it was time to progress into a larger space,” said Dava Davin, owner and designated broker at Portside. “This is a great location for Portside, given the new construction and re-zoning initiatives on Rte. 1, and we are excited for what the future holds.”

Partnering with Barrett Made and Foreside Design, Portside incorporated a timeless and transitional style throughout their new headquarters with increased natural light, green features, community gathering spaces and more agent offices. The real estate group also worked with Conductivity Point and Systems Engineering to take advantage of energy efficient features and increased technology.

Portside will move from their current location to their new headquarters located at 417 Route 1 in Falmouth at the end of November. The Portland office, which opened in 2015, will remain at 330 Forest Avenue and recently added a Rental Division, now serving buyers, sellers and renters.

Founded in 2012, Portside Real Estate Group has locations in Falmouth and Portland. The real estate agency sold 376 homes in Greater Portland last year. With a team of 41 employees, Portside is one of the largest real estate agencies in Southern Maine, and has a projected yearly sales volume of $175 million.

Founded in 2012, Portside Real Estate Group is a boutique real estate agency with offices in Portland and Falmouth, Maine. Portside provides full service brokerage, with powerful marketing strategies, for all their clients. Portside believes in giving back to their local community by bringing people together for “Portside Gives Back” events that directly benefit local non-profits, raising $20,000 annually. Portside’s mission is to bring a more personalized approach as a local, boutique real estate agency.
