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 asked the owner of Lakeside Realty to please take me off their mailing list…read more Her answer was no. I asked several more time to be taken off the mailing list and the answer was still no. I told the owner that I was going to file a complaint with the state. Her response as she hung up was " A** Hole" How unprofessional! If you're thinking about buying a house or property I would avoid Lakeside Realty like the plague! After posting my review i received this message from the owner of Lakeside Realty. "Wow, you were pretty excited over receiving a postcard in the mail. I never told you I wouldn't take your name off our mailing list, our postcards are done through a postcard company. As far as calling you an A-hole, I call em the way I see them, you were behaving like an A-hole. I'm sure you've been called worse:)" All I asked is to be taken off the mailing list. We all receive junk mail and when we ask a company to be taken off their mailing list they should respect our wishes. Calling me a A-hole is unprofessional and shows the lack of character of this person. If you're going to spend hundred of thousands of dollars on a house you might want to find a different relator.

Anne was dedicated to the sale of our home, Liz was dedicated to the purchase of our new home and Kristine assisted in the office coordinating all communications and made sure nothing was missed. They offered staging advice which was very helpful. They gave us insight as to what needed to be done, which we did, which allowed for a very quick sale. In addition, they hired an amazing professional photographer and put a sign on our for sale sign that gave our home its own website. We were under contract 2 days after listing with a formal back up offer too! As if selling a home isn't stressful enough, the day our home went under contract, we also found our dream home which we went under contract with too! When we first met with the Cianchette Group, we were simply wanting to know what they could offer and were simply blown away by their knowledge, experience, and professionalism.
