The work, up close
Andre Voss
Quiet Harbor Realty (fictional)
Andre works the islands off Portland, where the ferry schedule is part of the property.
A house is a different house if the last boat leaves at six. He spends his first conversation with every buyer on logistics rather than layout: how you get groceries in February, what the winter crossing is really like, what happens when the contractor will not come out. The romance survives that conversation or it was never going to.
