Newcastle Realty is proud to announce that agent Bella Fabiano has been featured in the Spring 2026 edition of Maine REALTOR® Magazine, the official publication of the Maine Association of REALTORS®.

The article, part of the magazine’s “Beyond the REALTOR®” feature highlighting the unique backgrounds and interests of Maine real estate professionals, spotlights Bella’s lifelong involvement in the equestrian world and how that experience has shaped her approach to real estate.

The feature traces Bella’s journey from riding horses as a young child in Maine to competing at the Interscholastic Equestrian Association National Finals and later working professionally with FEI, Grand Prix, and Olympic-level trainers along the East Coast. The article also highlights her return to Midcoast Maine in 2020, where she founded Brightside, offering equine training and coaching services while building her real estate career with Newcastle Realty.

Bella shared in the article that her background in horsemanship naturally complements her work with buyers and sellers. “As both a lifelong equestrian and a local Mainer, I enjoy helping clients navigate one of the most important transactions of their lives — whether that’s finding a family home, land to build on, or a future farm,” Fabiano said.

Broker/owner Dennis Hilton said the recognition reflects the kind of local expertise and authenticity Newcastle Realty values in its agents. “We’re very proud to see Bella recognized by Maine REALTOR® Magazine,” said Hilton. “Her story is uniquely Maine, and her knowledge of equestrian properties, land, and rural living brings tremendous value to her clients. Bella represents the local connection and dedication that define Newcastle Realty.”

The magazine article also highlights how patience, discipline, adaptability, and long-term perspective developed through competitive riding continue to influence Bella’s professional approach today.
