Born in Norway, Maine and raised in Greenwood not far from Mt.Abram and Sunday River; I grew up surrounded by beautiful lakes, and mountains. I have lived by Lake Pennesseewassee for the past 15 years, I know the ins and outs of the community and the surrounding areas. I have enjoyed being active in local schools and sports.
This is my dream job! I get to help people figure out which home and community fits their family’s needs so they can focus on living their best lives. It’s very important to me that my clients and their families are happy whether they are buying or selling their home.

As a Real Estate agent in the Lakes Region and Southern Maine, I am proud to work with a wide range of clients across many markets. Whether you are looking for your first home or a dream vacation home, buying or selling I am here to walk alongside you. My style is built on determination and dedication to develop a relationship, get to know your wants and needs and then match those to the perfect opportunity to buy or sell. I want to make sure that you feel confident with all your decisions.
I have been a Maine native my entire life, being the third generation to be on the lake. I have spent many hours on the water, from sailing to jet skiing and everything in between. The lakes are also amazing in the wintertime with snowmobiling and snow shoeing. I also enjoy riding my Harley around looking at all this beauty Maine has to offer.

Realtor
As a Maine native, I have witnessed all that this “vacationland” has to offer- from the lakes and mountains region, all the way to the rocky coastline. My intimate knowledge of this state and my experiences from living here my whole life give me the expertise needed to help you with any real estate needs you may have.
I have always had a passion for helping people and I look forward to utilizing my eighteen years of customer service experience to help future clients navigate the real estate processes of selling and buying. It is my intention to make this journey as flawless as possible for you. With my open communication, diligent work ethic and client focused approach I have no doubt that I will be able to help you obtain your real estate goals.
In my free time, I enjoy being with my husband and step-daughters. You can find me enjoying long hikes with my dog Oliver, indulging in a good book, working out and cooking.
Just know I am always here for you with any questions you may have!

Krista Nadeau
Realtor
I believe that passion for doing what you love is key to doing excellent work. Having been dedicated to exceptional customer service for over 20 years, I believe that effective listening is paramount to successful relationships. My goal is to provide that same exceptional care and service to my buyers and sellers.
Having been licensed previously, I left real estate to raise my two sons (if you are a parent, you know that time goes by quickly!) but I’m excited to be back at it and am committed to helping my clients with all their real estate needs.
A native Mainer, I grew up in Bridgton, so I know that area and its surrounding towns very well. Gorham is the town I call home, now. I remain involved in the town and have been a writer for the local newspaper for more than a decade.
Maine is a great state to call home! Its beauty and serenity is unmatched. So, if you are looking to buy or sell a home— whether near the lakes or mountains, the coastline, or anywhere in between, I can help. I’m looking forward to working with you!

Buying and selling a home can be a very exciting time in your life. Whether this is your first time or not, I would love to show you your new home. Pricing your property is a crucial part of the selling process and I would like to assist you in finding the appropriate listing price.
Maine is where I call home. I have lived here most of my life, residing in Gray, Lisbon Falls, Naples and now Standish. I also have personal experience moving from state to state (a few times), and I would be happy to help you navigate your new adventure. Maine has so much to offer, whether it is the rocky coast, the mountains, the beautiful lakes and everywhere in between. There is something for everyone to enjoy.
I am a very creative person, with lots of interest in design and seeing my ideas come to life.
I spend most of my spare time with my husband and three kids. We enjoy swimming, apple picking, and the occasional amusement park.
