Corenna Quirk

REALTOR, CLHMS
License Number: BR927627

I love Maine from the rugged coastline to the glorious western mountains, and everything graciously peppered in between, including the lakes, hiking trails, hidden small businesses, apple orchards, farm stands, blueberry fields and lobster roll shacks. Maine is a magical place to visit, and to especially, call Home. Mainers are fiercely independent, yet create such a strong community of neighbors supporting neighbors in time of need. I’m forever grateful to have resided here my entire life and look forward to sharing my love of Maine with you. Whatever level of property ownership you are seeking – dream home, commercial property, seasonal camp, coastal estate, investment property, business, or land – I will provide you with extraordinary service, be a reliable resource and offer unwaivering support. For those relocating or searching for a second home, I would be honored to assist you with your dream of residing in Maine longer than a brief vacation.

In 2024, Corenna earned REALTOR of the YEAR award from the Greator Bangor Association of REALTORS (GBAR) out of nearly 800 agents; and was recognized by the Maine Association of REALTORS (MAR) along with 11 other agents across the state out of 6500 agents. Corenna Earned "Rookie of The Year 2020" for bringing over 8 million to close within her first 8 months as a real estate professional and moved into the ‘Leader’s Circle 2021" by achieving the Top 5th Agent position within her second year.

Corenna serves as a director on both the MAR and GBAR boards; a member on MAR’s Legislative and Professional Standards Committees; and as GBAR Legislative Committee Chair.

Corenna brings over 25 years of executive experience in the housing industry. She began her impressive career administering affordable housing programs and performing Housing Quality Inspections across five Maine counties. It was during this time her admiration of real estate bloomed, evolving her career to property management overseeing portfolios from Eastport to Alfred. Most notably, Corenna managed the Historic Bangor House, where she earned her way to an executive-level regional management position with one of the largest REIT’s in the country. In this role, Corenna was responsible for managing an expansive $100 million-dollar portfolio across Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island as well as leading a team of 50, successfully marketing and leasing for over 1,000 units, and oversight for a $7 million-dollar redevelopment project outside of Boston. Known for her high-quality standards, all properties in her portfolio were recognized and awarded by NAHMA as ‘Communities of Quality.’

A lifelong resident of the greater Bangor area, Corenna is deeply involved in her community, earning the reputation of being a reliable and an effective partner – with an extraordinary talent for event planning. In more recent years, she founded her own business, Corenna Consulting, a highly respected and successful event management and public relations firm, hosted the WVII 7/Fox 22 television series Maine Street with Corenna O’Brien with a focus on celebrating Maine small businesses, and served as Maine District (State) Director (second in leadership in D.C.) for a U.S. Congressman.

In her free time, Corenna has volunteered countless hours to fundraise for those in need and various other causes, and by serving on numerous committees and boards. She has been directly involved in several local organizations such as the Bangor Area Recovery Network, the Bangor Area YMCA Gala Committee, the Board of Visitors for Husson University, Wreaths Across America, Maine Veterans Project, Windy Warrior, the Eastern Maine Community College Foundation Board, Tuesday Forum, EMMC Champion the Cure Challenge, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Bangor, Muscular Dystrophy Association, United Way, and Music Heals. In 2016, she founded a scholarship fund at EMCC in memory of former Chief Donald J. Winslow for criminal justice and fire science students. In 2024, she founded an endowed scholarship at Husson University for business and criminal justice students. She earned a baccalaureate degree in business administration from Husson University.

Corenna resides in Bangor with her loves, David Quirk, and their adorable Labradoodle, Mason. Both business owners – Corenna and David are cut from the same cloth – they deeply enjoy working hard and providing exceptional service for their customers and clients. For downtime, they look forward to spending quality time with their handsome boys and watching the magnificent sunrises over Cadillac Mountain at their oceanfront Deer Isle cottage.

Sally Jo Hutchins recommends Corenna Quirk

Corenna did an exceptional job in achieving the sale of our much beloved family's saltwater farm. From the start, she was extremely knowledgeable of the local market, knew what type of marketing plan she would put together, was very organized, and kept us informed in all stages of the selling process.

We greatly enjoyed and appreciated her encouragement and enthusiasm during the whole selling experience. In fact, we consider her a good friend and would gladly provide a recommendation at any time!

Norm Cogswell recommends Corenna Quirk

Words cannot express my gratitude and thankfulness Corenna provided myself when selling my home. She is incredibly knowledgeable, a go-getter, and super professional. I truly sat in passenger seat and let Corenna do the driving. She went above and beyond to find the perfect buyer for us. There's not another realtor out there that could've provided myself with the ease and comfort knowing I was making all the right decisions!

We can't describe how wonderful our experience with Corenna has been!!! She has been fantastic thru our years long search for a home. Patient, professional, friendly, and so much more. We have sung her praises and will continue to do so to anyone and everyone. Trust in her guidance and knowledge, you won't be sorry. There is only 1 realtor in Maine as far as we are concerned.....Corenna.

Corenna was awesome to work with and with some work we were able to buy our first home. She was available whenever we had questions or concerns and made the stressful process of buying a home a lot less so. I would absolutely work with her again and recommend anyone looking to buy a home to work with Corenna.

stephen tarara recommends Corenna Quirk

Corenna is the absolute best that I have worked with over many home sales and buys.
She worked with me for about 3 years to find the right house and property. Her guidance and local understanding has been an invaluable asset to my securing the property.
I can't give enough accolades on her.

Lisa Rosenthal recommends Corenna Quirk

Corenna is extraordinary in every way. She helped my husband and I purchased our first home last year, which we love, and when my parents wanted to purchase a lake house near us, we wholeheartedly recommended Corenna to help them, too. Corenna is dedicated, thorough, knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond for her clients. She replies to text messages and emails in the blink of an eye. If something is needed, she will find the person who can help and coordinate with them to make it happen. After a year and a half of looking for the right fit, my parents found a lake house in Old Town that they adore, and will hopefully be in our family for generations to come. We are all so grateful for Corenna's partnership in making it all happen. We recommend her without reservation!

Deanna Edgerly recommends Corenna Quirk

I was so lucky to have had Corenna contact me when searching for realtors to help sell my recently passed father's home! Corenna was such a blessing. She made a really tough situation so easy and bearable for my brother and I. Even though my Father's house was a massive fixer upper, she could see past that and saw the potential it has! She had professional photos taken of the entire property and did a beautiful property description for the listing! This meant so much to us! Corenna kept us updated every step of the way and could answer any question we threw at her! She's so sweet and kind, but can be feisty when needed! She's got a passion for her job that you don't see often! You won't regret hiring Corenna for your buying or selling needs!

It was such a pleasure working with Corenna. She had all our answers and was a wonderful guide on our home buying journey. Corenna has timely responses and constant communication.

Corenna is wonderful! She is very knowledged in her field. She works to find you the perfect home. Corenna listens to what you are looking for and finds the best places to go look at. She is always on top of things. Walked me through the entire process and when I wasn't sure of something she was able to help me with it. I would highly recommend Corenna to anyone. She made the buying process so simple and took care of everything. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Beau Buck recommends Corenna Quirk

Working with Corenna was great. She knew the local market, she knew the process well, and she was able to give us any and all information about the home, local resources, and so on quickly and completely. She was a great communicator, and very responsive. Because of Corenna's advice and counsel we were able to win the very competitive bidding process (there were 5 other offers on the home, within a week). Once we won the bid she guided us through the escrow process, which was a little more complicated than a typical escrow because the seller was a foreign national and so there were some additional requirements they had to satisfy; and while doing that she was able to connect us to the various professionals we would need for homeowner's insurance, services (propane, electric, etc) and more. Corenna cheerfully managed this whole process with a smile and working with her was a pleasure!

Katie recommends Corenna Quirk

Since the first day I reached out to Corenna about my husband and I buying our first home, she has been extremely fast at communicating! I never felt like messaging or calling her would go unnoticed for longer than 30 minutes. She was super helpful in sorting out the homes that were just what we were looking for, and setting up viewings for the ones we were interested in on the days we were available. Corenna was knowledgeable when it came to questions we asked her about homes in general, like heating, electric, etc. We felt safe in her hands as our realtor, even as vulnerable first time home buyers. Thanks Corenna for helping us find and close on our first dream home!

Bruce Caswell recommends Corenna Quirk

Corenna sold 3 properties for me and what a professional and hard working young lady. Corenna and I would go over the details and she would come up with ideas that would make the sale irresistible to the buyer or buyers. She also would go the extra mile, week or weekend and day or evening, it made no difference to her, she is a go getter and a pleasure to work with, so to everyone buying or selling , call Corenna if you want the best.

Jennifer & Tim Birnstiel recommends Corenna Quirk

We purchased a home in Maine a little over a year ago. Corenna worked with my husband and myself for almost two years looking for the right property. If we could give her a rating greater than 5 stars we would. We looked at several different properties in different areas of the state and at different price points. No matter the price point we looked at Corenna was always professional, responsive, helpful. She always made us feel that our search was very important to her. Her attention to detail would make you feel like you were her only client. We are from out of state and her knowledge and assistance helped us to navigate everything we needed to move forward without feeling overwhelmed. We would recommend Corenna to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. We loved working with her. She is not only a great realtor but a wonderful person.

Peter Zanelli recommends Corenna Quirk

I truly believe that 5 stars are not enough to describe Corenna Quirk skills. She deserves at least 7 stars!!! She is amazing, I truly recommend Corenna because she is so professional. I sold my house and she took care about everything I needed. She pays attention to details in a smooth and professional way. She is just perfect! Thank you so much Corenna Quirk!

Stephen H Grotton recommends Corenna Quirk

Corenna helped me buy my house initially and when the time came to sell there was no decision to make about who I wanted to help me sell it. Corenna worked tirelessly to advise me and keep me informed throughout the process. She left no stone unturned and when the house hit the market, everything was in place. Her expert advice helped me not only sell my house in a blink but also at a price point that I was very pleased with. I would recommend Corenna to anyone who wants the best representation available, period!

Jason and Kelly Richardson recommends Corenna Quirk

We have now worked with Corenna on multiple projects (3 to be exact). She is incredible! Her local knowledge and vast network bring tremendous value to a sale or purchase. She is very professional, attentive and goes above and beyond our expectations every time. Her counsel and negotiating skills are no doubt at the top of her field. We highly recommend her.

Corenna was wonderful to work with and a tremendous help in finding our home. She was knowledgeable and able to guide us through the home finding/buying process. Very easy to talk to and very responsive. She hustled to support our virtual walk throughs, live visits, inspections, etc. She helped us every step of the way all the way through closing. We developed a real relationship of trust. Highly recommend.

Corenna was assigned to us by Zillow after requesting additional information on properties in Northeastern Maine. We were very lucky to be paired with a true professional like Corenna. She was always very responsive to any questions and provided guidance on local areas. Always available and quick to respond. Thanks to her we were able to close on a property within weeks of first seeing it. Truly a great home buying experience thanks to Corenna's expertise and professionalism.

Carmen Michelle Gauthier recommends Corenna Quirk

WOW!! Corenna is knowledgeable, competent, efficient, hard-working and personable to top it off. My best advice to you is to choose Corenna to represent your best interests whether you are a buyer or a seller. My second best advice to you is to LISTEN to her suggestions as she knows what she's talking about when she offers guidance. I am so pleased to have worked with Corenna through this process. I highly recommend her. In fact, the more complex your needs are, the more you need Corenna to represent you. It will be one of the best decisions you can make for yourself.

Chloe Whetstone recommends Corenna Quirk

Corenna was AMAZING!!! Buying a home was definitely a process for us but Corenna was very kind and very patient as we searched for our new home. She was always willing to explain things we weren’t sure about and was on top of everything always being one step ahead. As first time home buyers she told us what we needed to look for and always gave us her honest and professional opinion which we valued and appreciated. 10/10 would highly recommend! If we ever move again she is the first person we are going to reach out to! Thank you so much for a great experience!

Corenna Quirk has been a great realator to work with for our subdivision sales. Other realator s have not understood the intracacies of land sales and she is very knowledgeable. I recommend her highly!

Alyson & Judah Isgro recommends Corenna Quirk

My Husband and I went through 5 realtors before we met Corenna and we hit it off instantly. I could seriously go on for hours about how she is the best realtor this State has ever had. My husband and I had strong doubts we'd be able to find a home in this market but Corenna stayed positive and kept on telling us it was going to happen this year and that our dream home was out there. The women is seriously magic because the second house we looked at is now our home and it couldn't be more perfect. She went above and beyond to make this happen for us and we are forever greatful.
So if you are looking for a realtor who truly cares, is always there to answer your questions, is personable and passionate about what she does than you really need to go through Corenna. You won't regret it!

WILLIAM JONES recommends Corenna Quirk

Corenna was a true pro. Found us homes when none were really available until we landed at the firever home. She would do whatever it took to get the job done for us. You could call at any time and she filtered out the stress and confusion for us. If you are home shopping in Maine, Corenna is the Champ!

Corenna is absolutely wonderful to work with! It’s like having a friend on the “inside” that is working for you. She really cares about her clients as well as making buying a home such a breeze! Corenna was extremely helpful, open, transparent, and reliable through the whole process; she really cared about us, understood our needs from the very first showing and ultimately helped us buy the perfect home! I would highly recommend Corenna to anyone!

I am glad to have met Coreena. She showed us many properties before finding “The One”
by the ocean. She is an incredibly quick and clear communicator in all transactions.
She is a lovely person and never hesitated to go the extra mile. I might need to do another real estate transaction in the future, and I will be asking for her help. No need to go bezerk finding your home, Coreena is the best.
