Nicole was super helpful during the entire selling process. From pricing the house correctly, taking amazing pictures, fighting against a ridiculous appraiser, and closing on the house with me in another state. Nicole was knowledgeable and communicative, helpful and motivated! I wish I could use her to buy and sell all of my homes!!
Nicole was fabulous and made our home buying experience a smooth one. She is very knowledgeable about the market and she knows what to look for when viewing homes. She responds quickly and is willing to make herself available to fit your schedule. We highly recommend her!
In purchasing a second home on the coast in Down East Maine, I had two excellent experiences with Better Homes and Gardens Masiello Group - one with Judy Bossmer of the Belfast office and the second with Karen Eldridge of the Machias office. Both of these ladies were knowledgable experts in their respective markets of Waldo County (Judy) and Washington County (Karen). They were friendly, patient and compassionate, understanding just what we were looking for. Although Judy was not able to find us a property that fit our budget in the time frame we had to purchase a property, she was diligent in her search and taught us much about the Maine property market and was delightful to work with. I would absolutely use Judy Bossmer as my agent if I were looking to purchase something in Waldo County. Karen Eldridge was a godsend to us. We came in contact with her when we went to put in an offer on a farmhouse in Washington County, only to find out that an offer had been accepted on it hours before. She helped us put a back up offer in "just in case" the other offer fell through, and then she joined us wholeheartedly on our mission of finding another perfect property. I have been involved in dozens of property sales during my life and without a doubt, Karen Eldridge is the most professional, conscientious, helpful, knowledgeable and thorough real estate broker I have every worked with. I felt like she always looked out for our best interests, but at the same time she offered ways to make the purchase a "win-win" for both us and the sellers. She was delightful to work with and took all the stress out of the Maine property purchasing process by taking it one step at a time, but tackling all the tasks we had to accomplish at a fast and organized pace. She knew exactly how to approach each challenge we faced and found us just the right professionals to do inspections and handle the closing. Karen thought of things that we would have overlooked, so there were no surprises. She was always responsive to our questions and needs, even when her plate was full with other clients. We closed on a beautiful, historic property with waterfront views in a quaint fisherman's village on the Bold Coast of Maine one week ago, and even now Karen is still helping us find service people to assist us with keeping our property safe & plowed during snow storms, picking up keys and checking on furnace fuel levels. Karen has gone above and beyond any expectation I ever had of a real estate professional and my husband and I are so appreciative of her willingness to assist us. Long distance property purchases are a little scary (we are from Louisiana) and certainly complicated. Karen's representation made our second home purchase such a successful experience. I cannot say enough positive words about working with Karen Eldridge. She gets my highest recommendation!
Karen Eldridge was a very knowledgeable and dedicated Realtor, I wished all the Realtors I use were like her!
