This is a huge decision. Be sure to work with a professional who actually has your best interest in mind. You should never have to be pressured into making a buying decision. Use an agent who has a network of professionals they trust. That way you can know that when you need someone; whether it be a lender, home inspector, or another industry professional, you'll be in good hands.

The market has been hot and properties move quickly when priced right. More than 85% of potential buyers are screening houses online. Be sure the agent you list with creates top quality photos of your home along with a high quality description that will help attract potential buyers. You want your property to look the very best it can when selling. Have a knowledgable agent drop in for a consultation before you list the home to see if any small changes can help to make a big difference in how the house shows to potential buyers.

I've listed many residential, vacation, and even some commercial properties. Maine has such a diverse real estate market. I've worked with many out of state buyers. Sometimes I've even done video walkthrough tours for them. I've also help many people relocate, buy vacation homes, evaluate and purchase investment properties, upsize and downsize.

A previous client referred me to a family member who was ready to sell her $300k+ house and was basically dropped by her previous agent. I was able to immediately make contact with her and we had the house listed within a week. There were several challenges with the condition and it was one of the higher priced homes in the area, but I used professional quality photos and marketing and was able to find a buyer for her in just a few months. She was so pleased that she also used me to help her find her new home and we closed on it 2 days after she sold her home.
