Jeremy was fantastic to work with. He's professional but also really personable, and his…read morecommunication was always on point. If he missed a call, I'd have a response almost immediately. His knowledge of the Portland market and confidence in pricing strategy made a huge difference. I appreciated how he struck the right balance: he welcomed pushback but also stood firm when he knew what would get results. His fresh, modern approach to marketing (including premium video assets) helped our place stand out. Even in a lousy market, Jeremy persisted and got our condo sold above asking - something we'd honestly given up hope on. He was recommended to me by a friend, and now I'd happily recommend him to anyone. I've got another property in the Munjoy Hill neighborhood and look forward to working with him again.

We moved to Maine a little over a year ago with the intention of renting to get the lay if the land…read moreand purchasing a new home in about a year. About 6 months in I started looking for realtors and found Sarah. I contacted a few realtors but she was the only one who immediately treated us like real people, giving us the candid scoop, taking my kind of fantasy ideas of the type of neighborhood and house I wanted to live in seriously and offering suggestions. Then we settled on a few houses to go out and see and we fell in love with the very first one! We had an offer accepted within 48 hours of meeting Sarah! Easy peasy. She provided good counsel when we were making an offer, negotiating a rent back and then went above and beyond in figuring out the home inspection and how to work it out with the sellers. She made the hard part pretty painless. I know she doesn't think she deserves much credit for us since we found a house so quickly but she was really amazing to work with from day 1, competent knowledgeable helpful and kind, and it's hard to overstate how great those qualities are when you're making one of the biggest decisions of your life! Especially when you're an out of towner. So if you're looking for a realtor definitely give sarah a shout!

We were in need of a realtor to help us purchase a property in Maine and Colin reached out to…read moreassist us in finding the perfect home that fit our needs. Colin took us to many homes that we had requested and gave valuable feedback to us when we needed another opinion on the pros and cons of the area. Once we submitted our offer and it was accepted, Colin helped us along the way to ensure we closed on time. While it was a difficult for most of the process due to the title company the seller suggested we used, Colin was a great sounding board and ran interference for us where needed. Since we had to complete our closing overseas, he met us when we arrived to collect the keys and to make sure we were happy. We can't thank Colin enough for all that he did to find us our perfect home away from home.

At the time, we lived out of state, but had been looking at property online in Maine. We corresponded, then planned a trip to Portland. Before we arrived, Courtney sent us a detailed list of neighborhoods to explore, along with restaurants and coffee shops that she thought might suit us and our kids (as with so much else, her food recommendations were spot on). Courtney's thoughtful planning for that trip set the tone for our relationship with her during our nearly yearlong search for a home. We were immediately impressed by her down-to-earth demeanor and attention to detail. Despite a chaotic, fast-moving, and frustrating market, with low inventory, high prices, and rising interest rates, Courtney never lost faith in our ability to find the right place. She was wise, responsive, and constantly available to consult, troubleshoot, and advise. She and her work partner, Sarah Delisle, helped us find and clinch the deal on a house that makes sense for our family, and that we love. But Courtney's faithful and generous support didn't end there. She has been a font of knowledge on all things homeowner-related. We're relieved to have made it this far, but bummed that we don't get to hang out with Courtney on weekends anymore! We can't say enough about her great work ethic, kindness, and commitment to her clients.

She tirelessly fought for the best deal for us, drove all over Maine to show us houses, tracked down elusive sellers/agents for appointments, and didn't miss a detail when viewing homes. We can't recommend her enough!!

And never have I made a more detrimental financial mistake that is as bad as choosing ascend to manage my property. While I can't discuss some things in their entirety -- it has been a nightmare, an absolutely gross oversight of their duties that's costing me and there's no end in sight. The staff will not call you, or answer about 60% of emails, the owner thinks it's beneath him to reach out personally to try and be helpful. Money has been lost and mismanaged 2-3 times now and no single month feels consistent. I never know what's happening with my home, the condition of it, and now I'm getting hit with legal fees and have a lien on my property from the delinquency of Ascend not have utilities properly switched. If you're an ascend client- check your ledgers carefully. If you're not--- run don't walk. Now I'm being threatened by them with retaliatory billing practices because I am not keeping quiet anymore , try any other company besides them.
