COMPANY HISTORY:In 1978, my husband suggested the name for the company,(E.Pat Foster Real Estate),invested in my stationary and hired a painter to make my signs. My father-in-law designed & built my office, & my Bar Harbor Times ad rep designed my logo. With the love & support of my family, friends & the local community, I "bit the bullet", hung out my shingle, & joined the local Board of REALTORs®. Grampie & a few of his hunting buddies gave me my first exclusive listings. Jumping in with both feet, as a founding member/director of our 'first ever' local multiple listing service, my original listings were submitted, ads were placed in our local paper, and that was it!I was in business! :^) In 1983 we renovated an old Carriage House in the historic village of Somesville,relocated the business & the "Somesville Carriage House" became my "PIECE OF MAINE".In the late 1980's, I learned to turn on a computer and life has been challenging ever since :^)
