Plan Before You Move

Clear guidance for buying and selling real estate in Maine—before decisions feel rushed or uncertain.

Buying or selling Maine real estate isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Every town, lake, and region follows its own rhythm
Rural properties present challenges that aren’t common in city markets.
Septic, wells, access, and seasonal timing matter more than people expect
Online listings rarely tell the full story
That’s why clarity before you move matters.

Who You Partner With Matters

Most people choose an agent or list a property without a clear plan. My role is to bring clarity from the start and help you navigate Maine’s unique challenges, from shoreland zoning to pricing rural properties.

What to Expect When We Connect

Considering my Maine region, I can often work with you directly and guide you through the process.

Outside my area, I’ll ensure you understand the market, then connect you with a trusted Maine agent.

Think of me as someone in your corner—focused on helping you think through your options with clarity.

Frequently asked questions

What makes buying or selling in Maine different?

Maine has some unique real estate considerations — including shoreland zoning laws, seasonal road access, well and septic system issues, and highly variable market conditions depending on location and time of year. I help you understand and navigate these Maine-specific challenges with confidence.

What’s a “Clarity Session”?

A Clarity Session is a free, no-obligation conversation where we talk through your goals, questions, and concerns. I’ll help you get a clearer picture of what to expect in Maine’s real estate market — and what your next best steps might be.

Will I be working directly with you?

Yes — when you reach out, you’ll speak directly with me, not an assistant or automated system. If you're looking in my service area, I may work with you as your REALTOR®. If you're in another part of Maine, I’ll connect you with a trusted agent aligned with your needs — but I remain involved in helping you start strong.

What happens if I need help in an area you don’t serve?

If you’re outside my direct service area, I’ll connect you with a vetted, experienced REALTOR® who knows your region well. I don’t just refer anyone — I only recommend agents I trust to treat you with the same care and expertise I would.

Do I pay anything for a referral or Clarity Session?

No. There’s no charge to you for the Clarity Session or for any referral I provide. If you choose to work with an agent I refer, I may receive a small portion of their commission as a referral fee — at no additional cost to you.

I’m not ready to buy or sell yet — should I still reach out?

Absolutely. The earlier you start thinking through your options, the better. Whether you're 2 weeks or 12 months away, I’m here to help you get clear on your goals and make a smart, informed plan.
