Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
In twelve real estate purchases or sales over the years, with all the various real estate agents we've dealt with, John would be our first choice for any future transaction. He did what any solid agent would do: be available at any time, including weekends and evenings; competently handle all the paperwork; give advice when asked. But he sets himself apart when it comes to the details. He dug through old city records to find what was filed regarding something relatively minor we were concerned with, which we didn't ask him to do or even consider as an option. He was constantly anticipating potential problems so that we could resolve them early, whether it was zoning, flood insurance, or lending hurdles. When unavoidable issues did come up, he gave great solutions and was willing to work through novel ideas with the other parties. Overall, we were very impressed with his ability to strike the right balance between being involved and giving guidance but still always with the goal of making sure we ended up with the right property (and not just getting the purchase done and over).

We first met John online and later by phone from more than a thousand miles away when we were looking to buy a home in Maine. Being extremely knowledgeable about the state he guided us through the various locations and, at the same time, was keen to learn about us and identify our priorities in order to help guide our search and find the right house for our family. With his expert help we could compile a list of suitable properties to view. John went out of his way to set up showings when we finally visited the area. His input and local expertise was invaluable and he ultimately helped us negotiate a favorable transaction on our house. When we encountered any problems while out of state such as scheduling appraisals and coastal insurance John took everything in his stride, recommending people and alternatives, negotiating extensions and worked with our bank and insurance provider. He reassured us, calmly resolved every issue and kept us informed throughout the entire process. With John’s help we experienced one of our least stressful property transactions ever and were able to purchase a wonderful home. He is a consummate professional, kind, knowledgeable and always willing to go the extra mile. We wholeheartedly recommend using John as your agent!

Working with John Bettis was exactly the way I've always imagined buying property should be. He is personable, knows the market very well, and he solves problems quickly. He is also honest and smart.

My husband and I looked for a property in Maine for a while. During that time, John Bettis was patient, kind, communicative, educational, polite and extremely responsive to any email correspondence. In short, he could not have been a better agent, during our search. We are thankful to have had him helping us with this journey. Happily, we did find and purchase a property! If I ever need an agent in Maine in the future, I would not hesitate to contact John Bettis. He is truly one in a million! John David Curtis & Regina Meadows Moore

I recently had the pleasure of working with John Bettis to sell my coastal property in Milbridge, Maine. I must say his ability to do so while away or virtually was incredibly impressive. From the beginning John demonstrated a deep understanding of the local market and a thorough understanding of the Real Estate industry. After evaluating my property, it was quickly placed on the market. John arranged for excellent photography and the listing was spot on. We had a full price offer within a week of the listing. Subsequently John made excellent use of technology to keep in touch, share documents and keep me informed about the progress of the sale. He was incredibly responsive, always getting back to me promptly whenever I reached out. Overall, I cannot recommend John Bettis highly enough. If you are looking for a Realtor that will go above and beyond to help you buy or sell a home, look no further than John Bettis!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with John Bettis. He kept us up to date on any changes very promptly and was very knowledgeable of Maine real estate and was able to answer all of our questions without hesitation. I would request him as our agent again. Melissa Carter was very kind and willing to accommodate our needs in the sale of our home. She went above and beyond to help us.

My sister, two brothers and myself worked with John during the months of June, July, August and September 2023. Our stepfather passed away in June and we needed to have the house / property sold. I believe John contacted me the same day I left him a message and almost always the same day I sent him a text / phone call during the time the house was on the market. He is very reliable, easy to work with and kind. He provided tremendous insight as what things we should do to the house /property prior to clients coming to look. He was invaluable in all his suggestions. It was because of John that we were able to sell the property in a timely manner. He is a real person, one who cares about you and your goals. I can't say enough good about John. We all could not be more pleased with our dealings with him.
