This realtor got in the middle of a construction dispute, where she had no business! She was asked…read moreby the builder, not the owner of the property, to find a buyer. Not once did she ask the owner if they wanted to sell their first home, their dream home on 21 Stonewall Rd Harpswell, ME. The land was purchased from an employee of Roxanne's and cleared by owner. The owner put heart and sole into this property, knowing it was their forever home, their retirement home. Everything had been paid in cash, so no mortgage. The builder took numerous short cuts, code violations that Roxanne completely ignored, while she searched for a buyer. The owner of property was eventually railroaded into selling at a huge loss and forced to move in one day, with no plans. Roxanne's only interest was a commission, not the lives she destroyed in the process. When deadlines were missed and owner wanted to null and void what they didn't understand, owner was still forced to follow through. This was an illegal sale, but that didn't matter to Roxanne York! If Roxanne had actually asked the owner, if they wanted to sell, Roxanne would have learned, they had no intentions of selling!! Roxanne York's greed cost the once in a lifetime dream of a first time home owner

We are first time home buyers and had the pleasure of working with Madeleine Hill. She helped us…read morefind our dream home. We had browsed some places online and has lots of ideas what we were looking for. She helped guide through many of the details of house shopping. She showed us what made each home special. She was very accommodating with our busy schedules when setting up viewings. We had a lot of fun as we scoped out each new potential home. She responded to all correspondences quickly and answered so many questions for us. She gave us lots of info to review and helped make this process easy. She helped us find the house that was perfect for us in so many ways. She made suggestions as we inquired. Closing was so simple, she worked hard to compete the extensive paper work and we just showed up to sign. She was a delight to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

From the moment I first spoke to Mike Weisman, he gained my trust and confidence. A bit of context:…read moreA recent widower at the time, my mother wanted to relocate from her farmhouse in Maine to a +55 community in Massachusetts so that she could be near my two sisters and their families. She had a unique home and an adjacent parcel of land, each surrounded on three sides by a state park. I was facilitating the process of selling both properties virtually from San Francisco. I had called and spoken to a few local realtors. The valuations for the home deviated substantially from our expectations. One agent even acknowledged that she did not know how to price the property. What??? Mike, on the other hand, understands the market and the value proposition these properties offered to the right buyer. He was knowledgeable of the area and pursued a pricing strategy that yielded quick results. Had we pursued relationships with any of the other realtors, our asking price for the farmhouse would have started at least $80,000 below Mike's valuation. After selecting Mike, he didn't disappear. He took on a hands-on approach and kindly held our hands through the entire process. He is a super marketer; from the description, he crafted to the 3-D, immersive walk-through he created and to the professional-grade photography, he understands the value of showmanship. His work made me want to buy the property. Mike is the best communicator. On our initial call, he spent as much time as I required to understand his philosophy and approach, what differentiates his reality from his competitors, and to ask questions. He was thorough, clear, and concise. Even when I was overtaken by other, more pressing events, Mike was patient. When we started receiving offers, he was on the phone with us ready to talk strategy. Mike negotiated up the price, and we got the asking price. Mike was also adept at finding prospective buyers (outside of his marketing leads) for the property. He approached the State of Maine and others whom he thought might be interested. Again, we sold the parcel of land above the asking price. We were delighted that we sold both properties quickly and all without sacrificing price. It would simply have been impossible for my mother to have withstood the enormity of this transition had it not been for Mike's expertise, knowledge, patience, and understanding. Mike made selling the properties hassle-free (I mean literally) and fun. Even after both properties were sold, Mike cared enough to follow up with my mother and me to see how she was doing. You can't get better, more personable service from a realtor. He is the best. If I lived in Maine, he would be a good friend. Jim Allen

I hosted a reunion weekend at MaineStay Vacation's Orr's Island, Maine property. The property was…read moreexactly as represented, clean, well furnished, and wonderfully located. MaineStay responded quickly and professionally to all of our inquiries and requests. Not only did the property have the necessary beds for the 11 of us staying at the house, its living room, dining room, den, and kitchen were more that adequate to host a dinner for 15, with breathtaking views of Casco Bay. I won't to work with them again when going to southern Maine.

I tried to use MaineStay. Their site says email them so I did - twice. No response (I checked…read moreSpam/Junk to be sure). I called - twice. Left messages. Never returned. Picked a couple of places on their website for next summer hoping to get a response that way. NONE. No idea what the issue is as I was honest with them, told them we had used Your Island Connection pre Covid and again this year and we found them easy to deal with, but we didn't care for the place we rented this year and they didn't have any other rentals that would work for us for next summer. I wanted to stick with a local rental agency so hoped they could help. Obviously not. No matter what, they should have contacted me and let me know if they had nothing or if for some reason, didn't want to help us. So we went to VRBO and found something. If I could give no stars, I would. Sorry as hate to be negative but what alternative do I have?
