I used Anne Plummer at Maine Real Estate Choice to purchase my first home and it was a fantastic…read moreexperience from beginning to end...I would use her again in a heartbeat! She helped me purchase the home of my dreams...in fact, a property better than anything I had ever imagined. It's a property with 2 cottages on Long Lake with a private beach...so not only did I become a first-time homeowner, I became a first-time landlord as well. I moved here from out of state and knew nothing about the area. Dear friends of mine recommended Anne because they had had successful experiences with her and while I can't imagine ever moving from my new home(s), I'd absolutely use Anne if I ever chose to move again. Anne is honest, direct, knowledgeable, and as I've come to learn from the many people who know her as well, incredibly well-respected. Anne didn't hesitate letting me know her concerns about certain properties but made it clear the final decision was always mine. I trusted her completely and there were times I had her cancel a property viewing after she shared her local knowlege, research and concerns. I trusted her implicitly and every step, from making the offer, working with various inspectors, and mortgage lenders, etc. her knowledge, contacts and expertise were invaluable. As a first-time homebuyer, she took the time to explain everything that was happening along the way and never seemed frustrated at the volume of questions I had (and I had a lot!) I joked to my friends that at one point she had to take a two-by-four to me so that I wouldn't complicate things that didn't need to be complicated. She was also incredibly accommodating when I requested to meet different contractors at the property during the escrow process. Because of this entire experience, my paradigm of home buying is that it's easy, simple and exciting. My dear friends who encouraged me to move to this area and who were the ones to recommend Anne in the first place say they've never seen a home-buying experience that went as easily and smoothly as mine...and they've sold at least 5 or 6 homes in the last few years alone. There were also aspects of my property that everyone thought could make the close process tricky...but in the end wasn't at all. I've now been in my new home(s) for 5 months and every day, I become more in awe of what an incredible property/lake/town/area I now get to call home. I sat with the friends I've mentioned above by the firepit last night and roasted smores and we recounted all the incredible things that happened along the way - including Anne's role in this magical journey. Not only do I consider Anne a rock-star realtor, I consider her a friend now as well. If you're looking for a realtor who knows this area in and out (she was born and raised here), is direct, honest, full of integrity, follows through and is there for you every step of the way, Anne Plummer is the realtor to use. And just so everyone knows...this is my first-ever Yelp review...given my experience with Anne...I had to! (Even created an account just to post this...)

He made such an impression on me that I remembered him three months later when I decided to change realtors instead of changing cities and see if he could sell my house that was on the market.

He's personable, engaging, knowledgeable, and simply the best. I would highly recommend him to anyone trying to buy or sell real estate.

I was inexperienced with the home buying process and time to time the process can get quite intimidating. Tom came with a steller recommendation from a friend. Not only delivered but exceeded my expectations. The whole process moved smoothly and we were able to close the escrow in less than three weeks, thanks to the huge help from Tom. He guided me through the whole process, assessed the property values, discussed pros and cons I didn't even consider before. He helped me in setting realistic expectations with my budget. Tom was always available and ready to help in answering all my questions, including after hours or weekends. He also visited the properties on my behalf and gave me all the details over video calls when I was out of town. After the deal closure he helped me with the pre move-in repair works and introduced me to all the right people

They left us scrambling to find a solution 3 days before closing!!! I reached out to the owner Carly Joyce, (who is also an attorney) last night and left a message for her to please call me, this morning I also attempted to reach her, she never even had the decency to respond! This speaks volumes! Please, do yourselves a favor and steer clear of this place, although they may be ok with realtor transactions, it's clear they had zero knowledge of what they were doing with someone represented by an attorney.... We had no choice but to reach out to an attorney to help us. Such a simple inexpensive task is now becoming absurdly expensive due to their negligence!! The documents they needed signed aren't anything to do with the law, it's their own policies....None of which we were ever made aware of....Run! Run to a reputable company!!!
