They said they were full, but I think because he was in a facility in Ellsworth which they also own which has empty beds, they didn't want to move him down here.

If there were 10 stars available here I would be selecting them all. He is a rare find. Shawn truly cares about his clients and I am honored to now call him my friend.

Both needed options that could either accept MaineCare now or in the near future. Unfortunately there wasn't a location that could accept both parents but Shawn managed to have the knowledge and resources to find locations for both. I do not believe I could have found these options on my own or without serious hair pulling and taking years off of my own life due to stress. He is the best person to call first if one has need of help in placing of elderly loved ones. I can't thank him enough.

She even washed all the bedding and towels for us that I shipped from Amazon. Honestly, I'm not sure how we would have done this without Dani. I can't recommend her highly enough!

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.
