If you happen to be out at 6 AM, you might see Kathy McCallum biking along the ocean trail in Saco, the Southern Maine town she has called home for many years. Kathy lives in Saco with her husband Mark, their son Richard and Abby, their resident beagle of small stature and great character. Another son, Keith, is married and living with his wife Nicole and young daughter Isabella in Pittsburgh.
In 1994, Kathy earned her broker’s license. She has been selling real estate since 1985, working with both sellers and buyers. Many of Kathy's clients are referrals from previous clients who were impressed by her professional skills, personal approach and hard working dedication. Kathy takes pleasure in matching the right people with the right home.
Communication is essential when it comes to real estate. Kathy takes the time to listen to her clients and discover exactly what they are looking for in a home. She uses the latest technology to tap into resources and locate new listings as soon as they are posted. Kathy gets to know her clients well and values their trust. She enjoys the natural beauty of Southern Maine and shares this appreciation with her clients. Kathy is always aware that when she sells a home, she is also selling a community and a way of life. |
For the past twenty-seven years, Group 1 Realty, Inc., has offered clients a wide range of realty services, from commercial and residential sales and development to leasing and property management. Founders Mark McCallum and Richard "Dick" Buffum already had a wealth of experience in real estate when they formed Group 1 Realty in 1980. Former fraternity brothers, the two men decided they wanted more control over their own destiny and that of their clients.
From the first, the company has focused on clients’ needs. Mark and Dick have intentionally limited the size of the firm so that all the members of the Group 1 team can devote their energies to clients instead of office operations. With almost a century of real estate experience among them, the owners and Realtors at Group 1 are well-prepared to tackle even the most challenging problems. As community leaders and volunteers, they are also knowledgeable about the Southern Maine area and what it has to offer their clients.
Known for honesty and integrity in its dealings with clients, the company has attracted a loyal following in Southern Maine and beyond. Clients trust Group 1 and feel comfortable with the friendly, down-to-earth sales staff. In some cases, Group 1 Realtors have become “almost family” to clients who refer the team to sons and daughters, uncles and aunts. Such loyalty serves as a tribute to the special care Group 1 devotes to each and every client. |
