How To Buy A Home In Maine

The very first step to finding your dream home in Maine is to connect with an experienced Maine Realtor.  As you interview real estate agents, ask about the agent's experience and success rate.  Is the agent able to offer concrete examples of what strategies they used to guide buyers through submitting a successful offer?  What offer and negotiation strategies can the agent recommend?  A good real estate agent "has people".  The agent that you choose to guide you through purchasing a home in Maine will have contacts and connections to other professionals such as mortgage lenders, title companies, moving companies and reliable contractors.  Step 2 in your home buying process is to get prequalified with a local lender.  Remember, all business is about relationships.  If the agent you interviewed has no relationships with lenders it should send up a red flag.
