As the Broker/Owner of North Point Realty, I lead a dedicated team committed to delivering exceptional real estate services in Portland and the surrounding areas. With over 15 years of experience in the local market, I have developed a deep understanding of the region's unique neighborhoods and market dynamics.

Whether you're buying your first home, selling a cherished property, or investing in real estate, I provide tailored solutions to meet your specific needs.billcsellsmaine.com
My journey into real estate is rooted in a lifelong commitment to helping others. I earned a degree in Psychology from Northeastern University in 1995 and a Master's in Education from Boston College in 2000. Before transitioning to real estate in 2007, I spent several years teaching at the Perkins School for the Blind and later with Catholic Charities Maine. These experiences honed my skills in communication, empathy, and problem-solving—qualities that are invaluable in guiding clients through the emotional and financial complexities of real estate transactions.
At North Point Realty, we pride ourselves on our commitment to excellence and our deep roots in the Portland community. Our clients can trust that we will go the extra mile to ensure a smooth and rewarding real estate experience.
Testimonials
""Bill used serious finesse to meet the seller at a price far below asking. Not because the home wasn't worth what they wanted, but because our budget was firm. Very plainly, he negotiated us into a home we only dreamed of owning at the beginning of our search. I don't think there is another house for sale on the Foreside within $100k of what he achieved. The fact that he managed to keep to our hectic 10 day start-to-contract and 28 day closing schedule also speaks volumes!" Jerry and Lianon - Cumberland." "Bill was incredibly patient with me working over several months helping find the perfect home for me. As a first time home buyer, I had tons of questions and concerns that he addressed with skill and a smile. He helped narrow down the town, coached me on pros and cons of a house vs a condo, electric or gas heat, would my giant couch fit, etc. He made a huge life decision a lot easier. Thank you Bill!""

""Having a competent, reliable, and good spirited real estate agent can be as important as having a good doctor, legal counsel or accountant. Bill demonstrated an unmatched level of dedication, initiative, flexibility and local market savvy for us as we sought to relocate to Portland. He even conducted a few video walk throughs for potential homes we weren't able to visit in person. I've worked with a number of agents and none come close to Bill's level of service and commitment. I'm grateful for his hard work as I now love my new house which wouldn't have happened had he not had his finger on the pulse of what has proven to be a very tight real estate market in Portland." "

"Brian and Rebecca - Cumberland, Maine "I highly recommend Bill as both a buyer agent and listing agent. He had our home under contract within two weeks thanks to his great advice on staging and his excellent promotion of the Open House (which is precisely when our eventual buyers came through). Bill then went above and beyond to help us find a new home of our dreams - and didn't even wince when I decided during inspection that a home we'd gone under contract on was not the right fit. Bill simply said we'd try again, and supported us through the emotional and logistical process every step of the way. Bill and I communicated on a daily - and often multiple times a day - basis and he was always accessible, eager to help, thoughtful, and supportive. You couldn't find a better agent than Bill!""

""It is hard to put into words how truly amazing it was working with Bill. He is the best example of world class service I have experienced in a very long time. I met Bill by posting a question on Zillow about selling my house to the tenants who had been renting it. Although this was just going to be brokering a sale which means very little money for the agent, Bill did everything he could and more to make sure my tenants and I had everything needed to close the sale. I live out of the country which makes it hard to sell a house. Bill help me find painters, handyman’s, even came over and helped me paint and fix things when I was in town. Beyond all the help Bill was on the phone with me every other day if I needed to discuss the listing strategy, pricing and how we were going to get the biggest return on our investment. All I have to say is that Bill helped me sell my house when I live 5 thousand miles away in Chile and he made the potentially stressful process seamless.""
