Welcome to my Active Rain profile page. I am the designated broker and owner of E.Pat Foster Real Estate , located in Somesville Maine. My office is a renovated Carriage House, located on the Main St. in the quaint Historic village of Somesville. The converted barn is located directly across from the entrance to Somes Sound. It is in the middle of Mt.Desert Island, Maine (the home of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park). The Somesville Carriage House is also known as 'GramEpat's Place'.

It has been my privilege to serve the community as a REALTOR® on this beautiful Island for the past 30 years. My specialty is offering 'Boutique Brokerage" (I work alone) and offer a variety of services to buyer and seller customers and clients.I like helping my friends and neighbors sell their properties and also enjoy assisting buyers who are relocating and want to invest in their 'piece of the rock.'

My husband and I also own several other companies including 'Acadia Pines Rentals', broker owned vacation cottages in various locations on the island.  Our cottages are centrally located on Mt.Desert Island, surrounded by Acadia National Park, and are near Bar Harbor.
