When one thinks of buying or selling real estate in the greater Calais area, many think of Jessie Howard.  It’s been ten years since she started her career in real estate, beginning in 2009 as an office manager with Due East Real Estate.  

“At that time,” she explained, “it was a down market and we were carrying a heavy load of listings.”  Ten to 15 properties were crossing her desk daily to be entered into Due East’s computer system as new listings.
