I have bought and sold real estate all over this country and I have never run into any lenders who…read moreare better than the loan officers at First National Bank!! I bought my retirement home by the sea seven years ago and happily financed it through The First National and was extremely pleased with the care and service I received from Petrea Allen (now retired).  I never thought that I would ever find anyone who could possibly match the TLC that I received. When I decided to apply for a HELOC with The First in Ellsworth I found Ms. Lorianne Jackson and Ms. Emily Lajoie and they are an extraordinary asset to the First.  They went above and beyond my expectations and I thought you should know about these wonderful ladies.  For example, my LLC had mistakes that were made when I bought the property....Lorianne and Emily pointed this out and I have contacted Ellen Best to ask that she correct her mistake!  They also noted mistakes on my IRS returns that were NOT in my benefit.  These ladies are neither CPAs or Attorneys, but they are extremely bright and alert and should be recognized for their due diligence as well as their timeliness and efficiency.

I obtained insurance through Gene and he assured me that he had checked that my main providers…read morewould accept this insurance. When I found out through some hefty bills that this was not the case and I reached out to Gene, his only solution was that I should implore my doctor to accept more types of insurance and/or just find a new doctor. He also let me know he would be more than happy to sign me up for something new next year. I have heard from three other people who have had similar experiences when working with this insurance group. I would caution anyone from obtaining insurance through Maine Insurance Benefits. But, if you do decide to use them do your own research to verify everything they say. This issue impacted me further when I filed taxes with my husband this year. I had to pay over 2,000 dollars for the insurance that I could never use that Gene had promised would work with my providers.

I was referred to Gene 3 years ago when I all of a sudden lost my health insurance. Since then he…read morehas helped me get the proper health insurance at affordable rates. I haven't had to worry about the tedious paperwork or dealing with the people on the phone that may or may not be looking out for my best interest because I'm positive Mr. Piken is. He took a load off my already heavy plate and made my life a little easier. Insurance was foreign language to me and he helped me understand and made sure I had the right plan for what I needed. He is professional and personable and on the ball. I have referred everyone I can to him and will continue to do so. I highly recommend him for the services he offers!!
