A local partnership: The Masiello Group teams up with Maine's Whitney Wreath to bring the season home. * Posted Thursday, Oct 1, 2026 At Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate The Masiello Group, Masiello Group Know New England means knowing the people, businesses, and traditions that give its communities their character. This holiday season, Masiello Group is proud to announce a new partnership with Whitney Wreath, a family-owned company in Whitneyville, Maine, that has handcrafted fresh balsam wreaths since 1988. The partnership has a meaningful connection to its own team. Holly Greenleaf Whitney, an agent in its Machias office, co-founded Whitney Wreath with her husband, David Whitney, the company's CEO. Their business reflects the local roots and entrepreneurial spirit Masiello Group is proud to support across the region. For many New England families, a fresh balsam wreath on the front door marks the beginning of the holiday season. Its familiar scent and greenery welcome friends and neighbors, carrying on a tradition that connects generations. For a new homeowner, that first wreath can also mark the start of new traditions in a place of their own. Those connections are at the heart of its work. Helping people find a home means understanding both the property and the community around it - the local businesses, familiar faces, and everyday experiences that make a place feel like home. From its beginnings in Downeast Maine, Whitney Wreath now delivers fresh balsam wreaths to homes and businesses across the country. Through this partnership, its agents have a thoughtful way to stay connected with clients, support a local business, and bring a familiar touch of New England to their front doors.
