Worth Properties was formed in 2020, but its roots go back to 1920 when Lloyd Worth and his brother Frank formed Worth Brothers to both own and sell real estate. The brothers were very successful and for many years they were the leading real estate brokerage in southern Maine. The brothers also owned land and rental properties. Lloyd and his wife Mary had two children, a son Rich and a daughter Gloria. Gloria was Steve Bishop’s mother and Joshua Bishop’s grandmother. 

After Lloyd and Frank passed away, Gloria Worth Bishop continued in the real estate business as well as owning and managing a number of rental properties. She acted as her own General Contractor and Leasing Agent and Steve remembers spending many afternoons with his mother while she showed apartments to prospective tenants. While Lloyd and Frank Worth as well as Gloria Worth Bishop have all passed away, the lessons about how to treat customers, tenants and suppliers fairly lives on in the way Worth Property Management and Sales is run today.
