Kara Zech Thelen

Kara’s responsiveness, creative thinking and background in real estate law made her the perfect choice to facilitate our relocation to Maine from NH. She made it easy to shop from out of state, so we could easily narrow our choices and minimize viewing appointments.

Kara Zech Thelen was the realtor of our dreams. She helped us buy and sell our properties this past summer and supported us gracefully every step of the way. She was infinitely patient and positive as we looked at many houses. She had an amazing eye for detail and helped us find clarity in the process. Ultimately she helped us find the perfect property that exceeded our expectations and she helped us secure it thru complex and delicate negotiations.  When we listed our property with Kara she helped us stage and present it to attract the exact buyers we were looking for. Kara exudes elegance and class in every encounter and understands the complex nuances of negotiations. When our deal became more complicated because of an intricate boundary discrepancy, she knew exactly how to navigate it and went above and beyond to smooth things over and keep all parties content. We trusted her without hesitation and knew she always was working to make sure we got exactly what we wanted and needed.  She is one of a kind in the business. Truly a class act! We are infinitely grateful. My mother was a broker with Sothebys for over a decade, and she was surprised that we chose to go with another agency. We had such a good feeling about Kara that we decided to go with Portside instead. We are so glad we followed our instincts! She demonstrated class, legal wisdom and brilliance every step of the way, with a deep understanding of the real estate business. We could not have done better. [...]

Kara is a caring and engaging realtor. She listened to our wants and needs while being realistic about which properties made sense for us as out of town buyers to spend our time seeing. We love the place we bought and look forward to many years of enjoyment due to her diligence. She is so great about answering our many questions and helping with aligning us with local resources.
