Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.

Prior to creating Maine Home Connection with her husband Michael, I had my own successful business for many years in Atlanta, specializing in customer care and development. As we transitioned to real estate in Maine I knew that from our well-established website, to the experience of our agents, we could strive each and every day to provide our clients with the most thorough, most knowledgeable view of the local market – one that would fill the informational  and professional void.

We believe real estate should be about you.  We believe in giving back.  We believe marketing should be memorable and meaningful.   We believe in premium coffee and premium real estate service. We believe we can change real estate in Maine for the better.  Every agent in our company is committed to these ideals.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

As a Maine real estate broker, I represent buyers, sellers and specialize in relocation. My passion is indeed real estate and working with my clients, it shows in my enthusiasm and experience. As a native and lifelong resident of Portland, I am able to share my knowledge and expertise with my clients about this area’s numerous amenities and culture – which often exceed their expectations!

I value honesty, details and believe good communication between all parties is essential in finding a home or investment property. Let me show you how to make the buying and selling process a pleasure for you – Guiding You Home!

The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.

Although not a native, living the Maine lifestyle has always been on my radar.  What is not to love?  A full four seasons, close proximity to the ocean, a great and growing city in Portland and many local communities that all have their own unique New England charm and character.

When it comes to real estate, here’s a little bit about my work philosophy: I’ve never been the one to sit back and wait for things to happen; I make things happen! I READ MINDS TOO – okay… just kidding! While I don’t have that power I am great at anticipating needs. I will hold your hand and guide you through the stressful home buying and selling transition.

Seriously, I will.

Melissa Morrill

The visionary starts with a clean sheet of paper, and re-imagines the world.

With more than a decade of cumulative experience, The Morrill Team has worked in real estate management, program & housing development, leasing and real estate sales. My experience and deep understanding of the real estate market has helped my team guide clients through both successful buying and selling experiences.

When I first began focusing exclusively on my passion for real estate sales, I transitioned to a local agency that would provide a collaborative environment and could assist me in creating marketing programs that would benefit all of my clients. MHC was a logical choice in my career progression and I knew that I would be welcomed to the team!

The imagination is the golden pathway to everywhere.

I always aim at  filtering the noise for my busy clients with the goal of streamlining the entire the real estate process.  You will find that I am  clear communicator who has an innate ability to quickly understand my clients and their needs. I work with a deep network of highly accomplished photographers, stagers, mortgage brokers, bankers, attorneys, title specialists, and inspectors to make the real estate transaction process as seamless and efficient as possible.

My advice will be based on contextually appropriate data, sound analysis and frequent discussion that together provide you with the information you need to make the best possible decisions. The real estate field is no longer a “sales” business.

Consumers are much more sophisticated than in the past and my services reflect that.

Fantasy mirrors desire. Imagination reshapes it.

Maine is Home!  Born and raised in the Greater Portland area, I began my real estate career in 1986. After living out of state for several years, I felt it was time to come home – and relocated back to Portland in 1989.  I purchased a home in Scarborough and have been selling real estate full time in the Greater Portland area ever since. I specialize in the communities of Portland, South Portland, Cape Elizabeth, Scarborough, Saco, Old Orchard Beach, Gorham, Westbrook, Falmouth, Cumberland and Yarmouth.

Being part of an established and respected local boutique brokerage like Maine Home Connection provides an enormous competitive advantage.

Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality.

Originally from Lakes Region in New Hampshire, I have lived in the greater Portland area for more than 10 years and have grown to love it. Southern Maine has truly become my home, and I have loved becoming enmeshed in the community. I live in Portland’s west end and love the vitality of my city. From the wharves at the waterfront, the walking trails, the vibrant arts community, and the plethora of cafes and restaurants: Portland is an amazing place to live!

If you are looking to sell, I can help you price and market your house effectively and efficiently utilizing Maine Home Connection’s extensive marketing tools, technical expertise, and knowledge of the local real estate markets.

The common thread in my experience is listening to homeowners understanding their vision and then leveraging my expertise for them.
