I have been appraising properties in Maine and New Hampshire since 1998. I am Certified and FHA approved as well. The primary counties I cover are: Cumberland, York, Oxford and Androscoggin but i do cover the entire state of Maine. I specialize in unique complex properties that are hard to access like island properties, mountain side, extremely rural and seasonal properties.

Yes, hiring a real estate agent is worth it. Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to sell their homes by themselves, thinking that they’ll save money on the commission, but what they save on the commission, they very often pay for in frustration and concessions on the sale price.
