Home warranties aren’t just for first-time buyers. For around $700–950 a year, they can cover major repairs that would otherwise drain your wallet.
Worth it for older homes? I think so — what’s your experience?

🚨 Not every listing is created equal.

Lazy = dark photos, no video, no marketing.
Strategic = pricing data, ads, and storytelling.

Lazy listings sit. Strategic ones sell.

📉 Cash In or Wait?
The market has shifted—no more wild bidding wars. If you’ve owned your home 5+ years, your equity is strong, but it’s not guaranteed.
👉 Protect it with flawless marketing, staging, and smart pricing. Don’t let your home sit for 30+ days or the leverage flips to the buyer.

25 years ago, I ate beans & rice and even sold my guitar to buy my first property in Portland. 🎸➡️🏡

That leap changed everything — it launched my investing career, taught me hands-on skills, and eventually led me to help other buyers and investors build their own portfolios.

👉 What sacrifices

💙 Suicide has touched so many of us — family, friends, colleagues, acquaintances. Saturday I joined the Greater Portland AFSP Walk on the Eastern Promenade to raise awareness and hope.
I was honored to volunteer my services and capture drone footage for this important community event.

🚨 Portland just revalued every property—adding nearly $5B in taxable value. Land values doubled in many neighborhoods, and tax bills this October may surprise homeowners. Buyers, sellers, and owners: do you know what this means for your property? #PortlandMaine #RealEstateUpdate

🚨 Portland condos just dropped 30–40%. Median prices fell from ~$672K to ~$499K, and listings are sitting much longer. Single-family & multifamily homes remain steady, with inventory climbing. Buyers or sellers—do you know where your neighborhood stands? #PortlandMaine #HousingMarket

It’s so easy to get caught up with wanting the best of the best when investing in likely your most valuable asset. I do it myself. So this is just a simple reminder that your first home may not be the one you dream of or have saved on your vision board. Your first home is the starting point.

Saving for a house can feel like an overwhelming or even impossible task. Small steps can lead toward major savings. Here are steps on how to save for a house. As always, I would be happy to walk you through each step of the way.

What differentiates you from the other agents?

David A. Marshall @davidamarshall.bsky.social · Sep 14

Wealth Building Journey 🏡💰 Distinguishing between renting and owning a home involves navigating distinct financial paths. Rent payments may seem like a constant outflow, offering no equity in return. On the flip side, tackling a mortgage may be demanding, but it's an investment in homeownership.

🚨 The market just flipped. 🚨

Buyers now have more negotiating power than we’ve seen in years—while sellers are facing a whole new set of challenges.
❗️Homes are sitting longer.
❗️Inventory is climbing.
❗️Pricing & marketing matter more than ever.
