Bridget is also extremely organized and she was quick to respond to our inquiries. We emailed her requests for different forms of paperwork, and she provided a quick turnaround.

Erin is a true gem. We moved to Portland from out of state, and we worked in advance to interview a…read morefew realtors by video to find someone who would be a good fit. We learned that Erin has worked in several industries, but the common thread is that she is a people person and a thoughtful decision maker. She listens well and is intuitive. We came to Portland for a long weekend and looked at more than a dozen houses. Erin was game for all of it. We didn't find the perfect one, which was understandable given the short time frame. Right before we left, she asked if we'd like to see one more house that she thought met our criteria. We'd actually seen it online previously and decided we weren't interested based on photos alone, but she encouraged us to check it out in person. The house was awesome. It fulfilled what we were looking for (and was a great lesson in not judging a book by its cover). I remember when we walked in the door saying, "Erin, wow!" We were fairly hooked on the house, but it was quite pricey. After some thought, we made an offer that was outright rejected for being too low. We moved on and looked at other houses. A few months later, the house was still on the market, so we made another offer and were again rejected. Erin encouraged us to be patient. We decided it just wasn't meant to be. About a week later, though, the sellers' realtor reached out to Erin and said they were now willing to consider our offer, and after some brief negotiation, we got under contract and closed on the house within a month. We had waited a few months and ultimately saved a ton of money. Throughout the process, Erin was encouraging and insightful, knowledgeable about the pros and cons of the beautiful old houses that interested us, and full of tips about life on the peninsula. Her own personal interest in historic homes helped us understand different neighborhoods and regulations. This is our third home purchase, and Erin certainly gets top marks among all the realtors who have helped us buy or sell. She was skillful in the contract logistics and fine details, but more than that, her personality is really suited for this line of work.

If you're looking for a broker who's knowledgeable, responsive, thoughtful, smart as a whip, with…read morefantastic people skills and complete integrity, I'd like you to meet Erin Oldham. A dedicated comparison shopper, I found Erin after extensive on-line research of Maine real estate brokers. She made my shortlist, and after my very first call with her, I knew she was the one for us. Warm, informative, candid, and with an excellent sense of humor, she ticked all of the boxes on our ideal-broker wish list. This impression was confirmed in further calls with her as well as an on-line seminar she gave on Maine's real estate market. Erin not only has up-to-the-minute intelligence on the ins and outs of the current market, she also has a terrific command of past trends and future projections. No matter what question I threw at her, she responded thoughtfully and thoroughly. And in those rare instances that she didn't know the answer off the top of her head, there was no waffling: She either promised to get back to me--and did, in short order--or directed me to a website where I could easily get the information I sought. In the end, we wound up finding a For Sale By Owner home that didn't require the services of a broker, but despite knowing this, Erin continued to provide vital information that was key to a successful transaction. She did not have to do this, of course, and I did not want to presume on her goodwill for a transaction from which she would not earn a dime, but she cheerfully volunteered some vital information that would play a key role in protecting us as purchasers in our planned purchase. For this and other things, we will be forever grateful and will surely use Erin's services for any future home purchases or sales--and recommend her to anyone and everyone who's looking for the best of the best in home brokering. PS: Erin can broker any property in the state of Maine, so even if the property you're considering is outside the the greater Portland area, she can help you.

We were first time home buyers and she took the time to explain everything to us. She was punctual, on top of any requests and was always willing to go the extra mile. Additionally we were not local while trying to look for houses and she worked with us and our parents answering everyone's questions...which I'm sure was exhausting!! She never seemed annoyed or frustrated with all the questions and was happy to help! She took videos of every house that was toured and sent them to us for review. When I had a moment of panic and texted Sam at 7pm she answered immediately and quelled my fears. Anyone would be lucky to work with Sam! (Thank you Sam!!)

When I landed a job in the area, the next big task was finding a place to live- in a crazy real…read moreestate market. I was randomly linked up with Kristal Fecteau at Coldwell Banker, and I couldn't have been luckier in the selection. Even before I moved to the area, Kristal was hard at work trying to find me a place, with very specific requirements, in a seller's market. I found her easy to communicate with, quick to reply (even on weekend nights) and possessing a friendly, no hustle attitude- which jelled quite well with my sarcastic, jarring one. She was very patient. It was apparent early on that she wasn't just out to make a quick buck, and that her reputation and my happiness really mattered to her. Kristal was warning me away from places that she knew didn't meet my needs, even if I found a feature or two that I liked or was trying to rush the process. Conversely, she was encouraging me to consider new places that I otherwise wouldn't have given a second look- and it was one of these that I ended up buying. I essentially offered asking price, in a market where every other place was going for thousands, or tens of thousands, above asking; thanks to her prep work and connecting me to a fantastic broker, Tori Doucette, my bid was selected over several others. Talking to the sellers, I learned it was chosen because my paperwork and financing was in better order, lowering the risk that I would flop. I owe this entirely to Kristal, and the team she helped put together, and I am grateful. Now, in my new place (mostly the bank's new place), I would not hesitate to recommend Kristal to anyone looking to buy or sell. I have a long history of working with realtors, and most of them turn me off more than commissioned furniture salespeople and car dealers, so this was a startlingly pleasant surprise. And the more personality you show her, the more she will show back- which is a nice switch from the fixed-grimace, fake laugh and ramrod straight "norm" I have often encountered. Thanks, Kristal!
