A family legacy with a strong work ethic. In 1974 Phil McPhail I started McPhail Realty (no United Country Lifestyle Properties of Maine) with an office attached to his home in Howland, Maine. In the mid-80's Phil moved the office to Lincoln.
In 2012 Peter and his Brother Phil took over the operations of the company. They purchased a United Country Real Estate franchise and have expanded with locations in Bangor and Lubec.
Peter is a 1991 graduate of Husson University with a degree in Business Administration and a concentration in finance. He holds the Certified Residential Specialist designation (CRS)— only 3% of REALTORS have this elite designation — and the Accredited Land Consultant designation (ALC)— less than 1% of REALTORS have been awarded this coveted designation.
With 30 years of full-time experience, Peter has negotiated hundreds of real estate transactions. Strong negotiating skills, real estate-specific education, and a strong work ethic are the three pillars Peter uses to best represent the real estate needs of his clients.
When not working, Peter spends time enjoying the many outdoor recreational opportunities that Maine has to offer.
If you are buying or selling land and recreational property in Maine, you will find few agents with the knowledge and experience that Phil brings to the table. Phil's land sale volume, education, experience and peer review have qualified him to be awarded the ALC (Accredited Land Consultant) designation by the Realtors Land Institute. This designation is awarded on a national level to only the best of the best in the land business.
The land and recreational market in Maine is complex and always changing. Phil and his team continually study the nuances of what is for sale and currently selling in the market and use this knowledge to assist clients in making the most of their Maine land investment. Phil markets property over a large area of Penobscot, Piscataquis, Hancock, Aroostook, Washington and Waldo Counties among others in Maine.
Land and recreational property sellers want and need an agent with specialized skills and a marketing plan to expose their unique property type to the largest market of qualified buyers. Buyers of these property types want an agent who knows the area, understands value and can effectively help them through the complications that can occur in a real estate transaction. When working with Phil you can be assured that you will get honest advice, superior skill and knowledge from a full time agent who will work hard to be sure your goals are met.
Phil lives in Lincoln, Maine where he and his wife Carmen successfully raised two independent daughters. Phil is a member of the Small Woodland Owners Association of Maine and a supporter of the Forest Society of Maine. When not working in the real estate business he enjoys preparing a good meal, photographing Maine landscapes, fly fishing clear cold rivers, hunting for that elusive big whitetail and improving the timberland he owns with his brother.
As a native and expert of an area of Maine known for its lakes, rivers and open space, Traci excels at successfully selling country homes, waterfront, vacation and recreational properties all over Penobscot County.
Traci believes the first step in helping people is to understand their wants, needs, and goals. That requires listening, asking the right questions, and of course providing clear and honest answers to their questions. Traci developed problem solving skills as a social services case manager that she now uses to help meet her client's real estate needs. Satisfied sellers frequently share accolades of their experience with Traci with the United Country McPhail Realty staff.
Traci also appreciates the opportunity to assist those who are relocating to the Lincoln Lakes Region. With her connections and service as the former director of the Lincoln Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce she has the knowledge and resources to share everything from neighborhood and school information to details about services and economic development projects on the horizon. Thus, along with her listening skills and patience, buyer clients get the benefit of her thorough knowledge of the area.
Traci lives in Lincoln, is a 13th generation Mainer and is the mother of two adult children. Traci’s son TJ and his wife are expecting a baby soon. Traci is very excited to become a grandmother!
“Traci Gauthier is an incredible real estate agent. She treated us like our property was her own. She is professional and definitely knows home real estate. Traci sold the home we had lived in for 28 years. She has a great way of communicating values such as low taxes and location that is truly an asset. When we decided to buy, she listened to what we wanted and worked to find us just the perfect home. We would highly recommend Traci Gauthier and United County Lifestyle Properties of Maine.” David and Cheryl Russell.
