Portland, ME This year, The Boulos Company marks half a century of proudly supporting commercial real estate growth in Maine and New Hampshire. Joseph Boulos established The Boulos Company in 1975 on Portland’s Upper Exchange St. and since that time, the business has developed deep community roots and a reputation for integrity and an unwavering commitment to their clients and partners.
“Since the early ‘80s we’ve seen the city of Portland morph into a vibrant, safe, and desirable community,” said founder Joe Boulos. “Portland’s growth allowed for The Boulos Company’s growth, and Portland’s success has been The Boulos Company’s success; the two are intertwined.”
Since its inception, The Boulos Company has grown to include more than 80 employees based in Maine and New Hampshire offering services that cater to commercial investors, tenants, buyers, landlords, and sellers – always evolving to meet their clients’ needs. Beyond the high touch customer service Boulos is well known for, the company emphasizes support from within. They embody the ethos that it’s your people who make your business successful and credit every employee, past and present, with playing a key role in making Boulos the stalwart brand it is today.
To commemorate the firm’s milestone Golden Anniversary, Boulos launched Boulos 50 for 50 – a company-wide effort to complete 50 meaningful acts of service this year. Already in motion, this initiative aims to strengthen community ties and encourage the Boulos team to give back in a way that’s personally meaningful to them, whether it’s volunteering, supporting a cause, organizing a community event, or something else. Acts such as participating in the effort to build a community pool, Supporting JA Maine’s Titan Challenge, volunteering for the United Way 10-Miler, and many more, have already made a positive impact on the greater Portland area and the entire Boulos team is energized to contribute their time throughout the year.
To further mark the occasion, on May 1, 2025, nearly 600 people gathered at Brick South at Thompsons Point to celebrate the 50th anniversary milestone. It was an affair for Mainers and by Mainers, from the party planning by Citrine Events to the food from Lake Region Caterers and the evening’s score provided by Don Campbell Music. Guests included past and present Boulos employees, tenants, clients, partners, local politicians, and even senator Susan Collins.
Citing the company’s significant impact on the state’s economic development; its legacy as the region’s premier commercial real estate brand; and its core values of respect, integrity, balance, passion, collaboration, and excellence, Maine’s governor Janet Mills also proclaimed May 1, 2025, to be “The Boulos Company Day.”.
“We know that if our clients are pleased with the results we provide, it will lead to more business,” said managing partner Greg Boulos. “‘Do the right thing and the right thing will happen’ has been one of our guiding principles since the company was founded. As for the community at large, we encourage our brokers and employees to be on non-profit and for-profit boards as a way of giving back to the community. The Boulos Company is known for our philanthropic activities and believes that ‘giving back’ is an example to be followed.”
