First Step of Buying a House in Maine (2025) | 3 Pillars Every Buyer Must Know Buying a house in Maine? 🦞 Before you even start scrolling listings, there are a few crucial steps that can make or break your success. In this video, I break down the three pillars every buyer in Maine must know: 1️⃣ Education – Learn the terms (earnest money, inspection, appraisal, contingencies) and how the buying process works in Maine. I’ll point you to other videos on this channel that explain inspections, financing, making offers, wells, septic systems, and radon. 2️⃣ The Right Team – From trusted local lenders and government programs like MaineHousing, FHA, and VA loans, to homebuyer education classes, having the right support sets you up for success. 3️⃣ Standing Out in the Market – It’s still competitive in Maine. Price matters, but so do terms, speed, and preparation. I’ll share what most buyers miss that causes them to lose out on their dream homes. 💡 Call to Action: If you’re ready to take the first step, reach out today.
