BRUNSWICK

William Raveis Real Estate, the largest family owned real estate brokerage company in the Northeast, recently announced its affiliation with Morton Real Estate, a Midcoast-based real estate brokerage and advisory firm.

The Maine entity will be called The Morton Group at William Raveis Real Estate.

The purpose of the affiliation is to combine William Raveis’ marketing resources, Northeast geographic footprint, market research and extensive experience with real estate-focused technology with Morton’s roots in the communities they serve and local market knowledge.

“Maine is a very important market for our company,” said John Biondolillo, president and owner of the Raveis offices across northern New England. “Raveis is a leading company in many of Maine’s feeder markets including suburban Boston, Fairfield County, Connecticut, Manhattan and Westchester County, New York. We choose our partners and agents very carefully and we’ve found an excellent partner in Morton. We are especially delighted that Paul Clark III, whose mother founded Morton, will continue as the managing broker and that his son (Paul Clark IV) also works in the business.”

The Raveis footprint between Manhattan and Boston, which includes more than 120 offices and 4,000-plus agents, provides sellers direct marketing opportunities in the communities where two thirds of Maine second home buyers live.

Paul Clark III said, “I’m very excited to facilitate this merger of Morton Real Estate’s strong local reputation and network with the powerful U.S. network and marketing expertise of the William Raveis Company. I’m also enthused to be working with John Biondolillo, to learn from all his expertise in the real estate business, and all the advantages of the Raveis Company. The many benefits this affiliation offers current and future clients in the greater Brunswick/Harpswell area are very substantial.”
