Whether a financed transaction or cash transaction they will provide exceptional service.

I had some serious problems with Dee - who made two very serious mistakes. The first one, when…read moreconfronted, she refused to fix until taken by the hand like a 5 year old and explained something extremely obvious and simple. The second was found only after we bought the property, and she said she would refuse to file the necessary deed paperwork - this caused a serious delay, hours of my time and additional review ($$$!) by experts after our closing. In my opinion, this was gross incompetence. I've heard from others now that these problems are common with this company. There are plenty of companies in town who do the same work. Avoid this one.

We used Maine Home Connection and Jarrod Mallon, their buyer's specialist to purchase our first…read morehome in Maine. Jarrod set us up on email searches and notifications and once we were ready to look at homes he was available. He was flexible (during lunch, after work, weekends-Sat morning or Sunday open houses) and patient. He provided great info on things to look for, answered tons of our questions and made for a seamless buying process. We had a great experience with Maine Home Connection and Jarrod Mallon!

Laura and Mike actually helped us to buy and sell our home, and they did a great job both times…read more When we sold, we were relocating to Colorado so we wanted to be able to sell the house relatively quickly and with Laura and Mike's help and expertise, we had a purchase & sales agreement in just 7 days! Because we had to leave the area before the closing, Laura even stood in for us at the closing...now that's service. We would recommend Maine Home Connection to anyone looking to buy or sell a home...great folks, great service and knowledgeable about their business.

Unfortunately one of their agents, Desiree, was not professional. Didn't return communications in a…read moretimely fashion and then stopped communicating for long periods of time and then didn't even have the integrity to apologize. Maybe she doesn't know how prioritize things well, but I would never trust her with or recommend her for a big transaction like real estate which requires good, consistent communication and ability to keep track of many details. Cannot recommend.

I never dealt with anyone here except Richard Murphy from the "Murphy Team." So my apologies if…read morethis review brings down anyone else, I never dealt with anyone else here. Richard is often a little slow on the uptake. He writes very poorly, often missing grammar cues and spelling, so his emails are hard to follow and disjointed. This is only an annoyance more than anything, but when it comes to actually writing up a contract, proper wording and grammar is very important. Small mistakes can be a serious liability. I would hope this has not gotten him into trouble in the past but I wouldn't doubt if it has. Further, when it comes to situations between buyer and seller, Richard tends to either get in the way or escalate situations rather than de-escalate. It is a mystery what his intentions are - I would often get the sense he just wants to be seen and heard. Overall, your best bet in any transaction he happens to be involved in, is leaving him by the wayside and getting the job done yourself. I don't think he has poor intentions, he is just kinda dumb. My recommendation: avoid, avoid, avoid. If you can't avoid and are stuck with him in a transaction, just be more alert and aware than you might be normally. There are a lot of other brokers in this part of Maine, so hopefully you never have to deal with him like I have.

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.

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

Rented a house in Falmouth for August '23 through Labor Day from this agency. It was billed by the…read moreagent, Adam Shapiro, as "the Greenwich of Portland". As it turns out, the house sits right next to a busy parking lot for a beach with dirty water that smells like sewerage at low tide. Cars sit idling in the lot until 3 or 4 in the morning every night; it feels unsafe having them there. The front door lock is very difficult to close and the lock is not solid, offering very little security. The lower floor of the house reeks so badly of dampness and mildew that everyone had to move upstairs; the mildew smell in the bedrooms downstairs is overpowering. When I told Apex about this, they refused to come to the house to get an idea of how badly the moisture has affected that level of the house. The upper level of the house also has a terrible problem with moisture and a mildew smell. Upstairs shower stall smells moldy and damp, towels turn mildewy after 1 use because of the humidity problem in the house. The dishwasher failed to turn on and run the cycle. Apex sent the cleaning person over and she was unable to do anything. They were no help at all, it was just "no, no, no" from them. The oven light stays on no matter what, you have to push it closed forcefully, but then the light just goes back on after a few seconds. The electric window blinds stopped working 1 week into our stay; they had to send a tech over to recharge the motors, which took an hour of my time and attention. I checked out of the house August 23, almost 2 weeks early because I didn't; feel safe there and because the house smelled so bad. The agent, Adam Shapiro, did not reply to any of my texts or calls informing him of this; he just took the money and ran

We extended the contract on the understanding there would be flexibility, so were surprised by a…read morerequest for $ 3350 to terminate at the end of the original 6 month lease. We were surprised as there was no provision for this in the lease nor in Maine law. Another tenant was lined up, Apex tried to block the tenant until we paid $ 3350. This fee included $ 1950 of agents fees (a double dip - Apex would charge this again with respect to the new tenant), a $ 250 credit check on the new tenant and $ 1250 rent shortage. The dispute was inflamed by lengthy late night emails from Chris at Apex. On legal advice we declined to pay the spurious charges as they had no basis in contract nor Maine law. Fortunately, Apex pulled this stunt prior to our last months rent going out hence we remained in control of our money. We paid the rent difference, we paid for cleaning, we left the property in excellent condition. I would recommend to avoid Apex as a landlord or as a renter. If you have to rent from them, don't set up automated rent payments. Don't expect resolution of issues in the property. If you're a landlord, you should think carefully about the losses you could incur if your tenants depart on acrimonious terms due to provocation by your agent. And they charge you 20% for this!

These two women were horrible to work with. Hardly organized and simply out to pinch pennies and…read moredo the least amount of work possible. They never have the customer in mind, only their work load. And this is coming from someone who paid rent every month 5 days early. I will say, I believe it is only Diana that is the tough one to work with. Carry is only trying to do what she is told and be a buffer between the witch and the customer. The only reason this entity exists, is so Diana Baribeau (one of the ladies) can have something to do, so she can stay out of her husbands hair while he trys to do his job (Baribeau Real Estate and Appraisals). The relationship started with me having to pay an application fee before I was even able to look at any of their properties. Great way to start a relationship. During my lease, I was never trusted about any issues or concerns I brought to their attention about the home. We were always second guessed. Awful feeling when trying to live in a home you are paying a pretty penny for. The end of my lease was a mess. No communication from their end, and when I was able to get communication, it had to be face to face, with me making the initiative to go to their office...then I was screamed at for 45 minutes and told to go ahead and get a lawyer. Left a really good impression of the business I had given them for a full year.
