With 22 years of experience, WildWood Properties offers a host of home services inside and outside to make life easier, protect property, and even provide a great getaway vacation in Maine. Rick Drapeau and his wife Anne have recently expanded WildWood Properties to include property management services as well as vacation rental management.
“Property management was a natural
progression,” said Rick. “Landscaping took us in so many directions. We were
asked to do it, saw a need for it, so we did.”
WildWood Properties takes care of year
round management for properties from camps and seasonals to associations and neighborhoods.
They watch over the inside to make sure that there are no issues, like leaking
water or a light left on. If there is an issue, they will fix it or call in
someone within their network of subcontractors to fix a plumbing issue or an
electrical issue.
“We don’t pretend to know that stuff,”
Rick said.
On the outside of the property, WildWood
maintains the lawn, shrubs, waters flowers, whatever might need to be done to
keep the yard ready for the next impromptu or planned gathering. They go above
and beyond with extra details to make sure your property stands out and is one
that neighbors will envy.
New this year, WildWood is helping clients
rent their properties and find renters to enjoy time in the Sebago Lake region.
They handle all of the interviews, any issues that might pop up and clean the
rental at the end of the week.
“We do all the leg work and the property
owner gets a statement,” said Rick.
Rick is also a licensed Realtor® and
associate broker through Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate, The Masiello
Group; and he can help people buy and sell their dream homes, be it a primary
residence or a condo on the lake, investment properties or a small camp.
With a new logo, sign and an office just
off Tandberg Trail behind Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate, right near
the corner of Route 302 and Route 115, WildWood Properties encourages potential
and existing clients to visit them to see what WildWood Properties has to offer.
They are still masters at landscaping
and gardening. The company employs eight people including landscapers,
arborists and horticulturalists for all the clients’ growing needs. They also
provide hardscaping – creating masterpiece rock walls, fire pits, retaining
walls, planter beds and pool patios.
WildWood Properties is now scheduling
for spring clean ups and is currently working around the snowbanks to do what
can be done now. Rick predicts the snow will be gone in two weeks and he knows
that his clients will want the job done the day the snow is gone. He will try
to meet that expectation. When the snow lasts as long as it has this year,
tasks like mulching, mowing and clean up all blur together for the team. “We
have 45 days to do all of it,” Rick added.
For the do-it-yourself, they will also
deliver bulk materials such as mulch, compost, super soil and stone from their
supply yard.
They concentrate their business in
Windham, Raymond, Cumberland Foreside, Portland, Gorham, and Naples - up to the
causeway and Frye Island.
“We’re in the growth mode,” Rick said.
“I don’t pump the brakes too often.”
In addition to their expertise in
hardscaping and landscaping, their real
estate expertise is great for sellers. There’s very little inventory, and
properties go under contract days after being listed in many cases, Rick said.
“It’s a fun time to be in this industry.”
