Why Top Agents Choose Teams

There's a version of real estate where every agent is an island — handling their own leads, marketing, admin, systems, and 11 p.m. texts from nervous buyers. It's exhausting, isolating, and honestly, it's optional.

The best agents aren't going it alone anymore. They're choosing teams — and not just any team. They're choosing structured, supported, growth-oriented environments where transactions don't fall through the cracks and no one has to reinvent the wheel on every deal.

At the Libby Starnes Team, we've built something that looks a lot less like a workplace and a lot more like a family that happens to close deals. Our agents come from different backgrounds, carry different certifications — ABR, SRS, green, C2EX — and bring different strengths. What they share is a commitment to each other and to every client who trusts us with one of the biggest decisions of their lives.

No agent on this team is ever alone in a transaction. That's not just a nice thing to say — it's how we operate, every single day. Whether it's a first-time buyer navigating the Lake Region market or a seller pricing a luxury property above $700K, there's always a second set of experienced eyes on the work.

We specialize across the Greater Portland Maine area, Windham, Cumberland and York Counties, and the Lake Region — waterfront, single-family, commercial, and luxury. That range of expertise means our agents learn more, serve better, and grow faster than most solo practitioners ever could.

If you're a licensed agent wondering whether there's a better way to build your business — one with systems, support, training, and a real shot at longevity — this is what that looks like. The right team doesn't slow you down. It puts a floor under you, so the only direction is up.
