Bill has been a Realtor since 2007, beginning his real estate career in the Boston, Massachusetts area before moving to Maine a few years later. He attended Northeastern University, first studying architecture, but concluding with a degree in psychology. He earned a masters at Boston College in Education, and taught for many years in Massachusetts at Perkins School for the Blind. Burned out from teaching, in 2006 he was ready for new professional challenges. He knew he always found great joy in being able to make a difference in people’s lives. This, coupled with his love of architecture, made real estate a good fit.
After working at large agencies for several years, Bill decided to open his own brokerage. In 2016, he and a partner opened North Point Realty in Westbrook. Their priority is to provide superior, personalized service from experts in the local market, and offer an environment where other Realtors can thrive and build their own businesses within their firm.
Bill lives in Portland's Oakdale neighborhood with his wife, Kate, their two children, and several fur-family members.

Testimonials
""Bill used serious finesse to meet the seller at a price far below asking. Not because the home wasn't worth what they wanted, but because our budget was firm. Very plainly, he negotiated us into a home we only dreamed of owning at the beginning of our search. I don't think there is another house for sale on the Foreside within $100k of what he achieved. The fact that he managed to keep to our hectic 10 day start-to-contract and 28 day closing schedule also speaks volumes!" Jerry and Lianon - Cumberland." "Bill was incredibly patient with me working over several months helping find the perfect home for me. As a first time home buyer, I had tons of questions and concerns that he addressed with skill and a smile. He helped narrow down the town, coached me on pros and cons of a house vs a condo, electric or gas heat, would my giant couch fit, etc. He made a huge life decision a lot easier. Thank you Bill!""

""Having a competent, reliable, and good spirited real estate agent can be as important as having a good doctor, legal counsel or accountant. Bill demonstrated an unmatched level of dedication, initiative, flexibility and local market savvy for us as we sought to relocate to Portland. He even conducted a few video walk throughs for potential homes we weren't able to visit in person. I've worked with a number of agents and none come close to Bill's level of service and commitment. I'm grateful for his hard work as I now love my new house which wouldn't have happened had he not had his finger on the pulse of what has proven to be a very tight real estate market in Portland." "

""It is hard to put into words how truly amazing it was working with Bill. He is the best example of world class service I have experienced in a very long time. I met Bill by posting a question on Zillow about selling my house to the tenants who had been renting it. Although this was just going to be brokering a sale which means very little money for the agent, Bill did everything he could and more to make sure my tenants and I had everything needed to close the sale. I live out of the country which makes it hard to sell a house. Bill help me find painters, handyman’s, even came over and helped me paint and fix things when I was in town. Beyond all the help Bill was on the phone with me every other day if I needed to discuss the listing strategy, pricing and how we were going to get the biggest return on our investment. All I have to say is that Bill helped me sell my house when I live 5 thousand miles away in Chile and he made the potentially stressful process seamless.""

"Brian and Rebecca - Cumberland, Maine "I highly recommend Bill as both a buyer agent and listing agent. He had our home under contract within two weeks thanks to his great advice on staging and his excellent promotion of the Open House (which is precisely when our eventual buyers came through). Bill then went above and beyond to help us find a new home of our dreams - and didn't even wince when I decided during inspection that a home we'd gone under contract on was not the right fit. Bill simply said we'd try again, and supported us through the emotional and logistical process every step of the way. Bill and I communicated on a daily - and often multiple times a day - basis and he was always accessible, eager to help, thoughtful, and supportive. You couldn't find a better agent than Bill!""
