Why Work With Dwelling in Maine?

Possibly the most thorough, responsive and professional business transaction in my life. Laura and team absolutely exceeded my expectations, providing invaluable insight and wisdom along the way. She absolutely saved me from myself, as I would have failed to uncover issues that would have cost roughly $40K more than the final accepted offer. I used to wonder, "What does an agent really do?" Well, I got schooled and had a blast working with Laura. God willing, I will *make* the opportunity to work with her again.

We consider ourselves very lucky to have gotten Laura for our buyers’ agent. Not only does she have over 20 years of experience as a small business owner and resident of mid-coast Maine, she also is fearless about helping her clients navigate the housing market and the subsequent hurdles of the closing process on the house of our dreams. We have been thru about six home sales across the US at this point in our lives and Laura was one of the best agents that we have ever worked with—she communicates, she asks questions and honors the answers, she does whatever she can to help you narrow down what is important in your search, and she cares that all parties are fairly treated. She brings a vast knowledge of the area and the various housing options you can find in Maine.

Throughout the moving process- from decision to go all the way to buying a home here in Illinois- you were my rock and shining star. Never to be forgotten! Allow me to be a formal reference in the future; which I know is a bright one for you! Never forget your assets my dear.

All the paperwork is done for us. Thank you so much for everything from start to finish. It was a great pleasure and honor going on this journey with you. You are an awesome person and wonderful at your job.

I wanted to write to let you know what a wonderful experience it's been to work with Gary.  He is the consummate professional.  I'm new to Maine and no doubt presented a bit of a challenge to him in terms of what I was looking for.  To me everything was wonderful and it was hard to determine the most important variables.  Gary remained patient, gracious and cheerful throughout.  He was tireless in sending me listings and driving me around to view those that seemed promising.  I've greatly appreciated Gary's knowledge of Maine and all it has to offer, including its interesting architecture.  Gary's keen eye picked out potential issues in homes that I didn't notice, and his familiarity with local home improvement and remodeling was most helpful.  I always felt that Gary had my best interest in mind.  He gave reasonable suggestions regarding pricing  and always caveated that the decision was mine.  He helped me continue to move forward towards my goal without being pushy.

I have had multiple closings over the years with Victoria Condon, Chuck Brawn, and Jack Kelly of the Dwelling in Maine Real Estate firm. The closings have all gone very well, the clients were well informed, and in my opinion, well served. Whether they represent the seller, buyer or both, their clients benefit from solid local knowledge of the industry, the current market and the Mid-Coast Region of Maine. Much of the stress of a real estate transaction can be diminished for the consumer by their choice of Realtor, and the local professionals with whom they align themselves. As a title agent, it is a true pleasure to partner with Dwelling in Maine in service of their clients and transferring a piece of beautiful Maine. Our team at Maple Leaf Title are thrilled to work along side them!

To say that Chuck Brawn from Dwelling in Maine made our dreams come true would be an understatement, and to say he went above and beyond would be barely scratching the surface. My wife and I were looking to make a smaller land purchase in what should have been a quick and simple deal. Circumstances complicated the matter time and again. Chuck’s patience and cool guidance cannot be oversold, as he always kept us promptly informed, was honest and forthcoming, and steadily worked behind the scenes to move things along. He took the time to understand our values and priorities and we always feel that they were addressed. We know that at the end of the day we were not a big commission, but we never, ever felt like a second priority no matter how long things dragged on. Chuck treated us like family and became a friend, truly one of the nicest people you can encounter and the shining example of easy-to-talk-to professionalism that you want in your realtor. He also takes great photos!

We were very fortunate to have Chuck as our broker when we sold our 150 year old home and immediately bought another. He worked tirelessly to create a situation where we could sell and purchase at the same time. Chuck was sensitive to our needs and walked us step by step through the process  including inspections, financing, and closings. He took a lot of the stress out of our move. Because he did such a terrific job for us, I can recommend him without reservation and tell you that when it comes time to sell this house, Chuck will once again be our broker.

My husband and I recently closed on a house with a great deal of help from Chuck. Chuck was a fabulous realtor who took the time to explain everything to us and kept us informed at all times. He was responsive, very professional and knowledgeable with every aspect of this process. We are confident  to recommend Chuck to anyone looking for a positive buying or selling experience!

Chuck goes above and beyond the call of duty. He is extremely knowledgeable and ALWAYS puts his client first. My wife and I will be recommending him to everyone we know! Thanks again for a beautiful home!
