Micki Colquhoun began selling real estate in 2001, and since then she's carved out a reputation for excellence, having been consistently among the top producers at Camden Real Estate Company.
"I love putting transactions together. And what I've found is that there's usually a way to do it so that everyone gets most of what they want," she says. “Working at Camden Real Estate Company is a big part of what makes this possible. It's the approach taken to presenting a property and it’s the supportive culture within the organization. We have the best website around so we can offer national and international exposure but we’re also local, which means we can be flexible and responsive to our clients. It’s just a great place to work.”
Micki brings tremendous grace and a wealth of life experience to her real estate clients. She's personable and very available, but she's also an energetic researcher who enjoys number-crunching and market analysis.
A native of Omaha, Nebraska, Micki graduated from Barnard College and earned an MBA from Columbia University. After fifteen years of working in finance, Micki and her husband, the artist Jeff Colquhoun, moved from New York City to Castine, Maine with their three young children. She then worked for Eastern Maine Development Corporation, taught at Maine Maritime Academy, and served as head of her children's independent school in Blue Hill. “Those jobs were a great way to get to know a lot of people within the State of Maine in a relatively short period of time,” she says. Once their children left home, Micki and her husband spent several winters in Venice, Italy. They moved to Camden in 1999 because of the town's vibrant year-round qualities.
"It's such a friendly and easy place to live. You can move here and people are happy to include you. The Camden area is so beautiful and there's so much to do here," she says.
Micki has served on the boards of the The Bay School, Ashwood School, The Maine Chapter of The Nature Conservancy, Coastal Mountains Land Trust, St. Peter's in Rockland (as Treasurer), The Camden Yacht Club (as Treasurer), Wayfinder Schools, the Pen Bay Healthcare Foundation, and the Camden Area Youth Seamanship Program.
"I have worked with Micki to sell two homes and couldn't recommend her more highly. She is warm and attentive, but she also possesses a strong knowledge of the market and is a skilled negotiator. Micki is simply the best!"
"We have had the pleasure of Micki’s representation on five real estate transactions. Throughout them all, she combined in-depth knowledge of the market and community with a style that was attentive to our needs and got the deal done in a manner beneficial to all parties. Micki is simply the best!"
"When it came time to sell our family property in Rockport, I flew to Maine from California and interviewed three realtors. Micki was an easy choice -- had clearly done her homework, had some interesting ideas about marketing, and was very realistic about what the property might sell for. We eventually took one of her ideas and split the property in half, and the prices we ended up getting for the two lots was right about where we thought we should be from the beginning. She is smart, well organized, and communicates well ... and works hard! We were very pleased to work with her."
