Maine Home Connection

Fantastic experience: Laura was extremely patient and supportive of my lengthy search for a two family home. She has a great network to help with all the other issues that come up when buying a house.

Fantastic experience: For the past several months, my wife and I have been caught up in a whirlwind of emotions. Searching for a new home while simultaneously dealing with multiple health issues was, at times, overwhelming. Still, we made it through with the generous assistance of Laura Sosnowski of Maine Home Connection The condo we now own is not perfect, but it comes close; and, we are keenly aware that we would not have found it, or successfully navigated the path to purchasing it, without Laura’s wise counsel and responsiveness to our many questions. Having such a capable realtor by our side -- and, on our side -- was truly invaluable. We are deeply grateful to Maine Home Connection and to Laura in particular. Steve and Marianne Dalton

Fantastic experience: Laura Sosnowski and Shannon Elliot are the Dynamic Duo. . .working in concert with each other at Maine Home Connection of Portland, Maine. They made our home search effortless (considering our distance) to due business. Laura is always reachable for any questions or problems and returns calls promptly! Her recommendation for the mortgage loan company was excellent. . .kudos to them as well!! Shannon is the behind the scenes operator, making sure all tasks and procedures are carried out in a very efficient manner. . .we're just sorry that we didn't get the opportunity to meet her in person. My wife and I can't say enough about Maine Home Connection!!

Fantastic experience: This is my second home purchased with MHC and once again we are so happy with the experience. Laura was responsive, considerate, and took great care of our entire familly. We are grateful to her for getting us into our dream home and would definitely work with her again!

Fantastic experience: Laura and her team are excellent. She knew the market and provided advice to help find the right home for us.

Fantastic experience: Laura Sosnowski and her team were outstanding in helping to find the perfect home for me. Any questions or concerns I had were answered immediately. Laura's knowledge, experience & professionalism are apparent. She truly cares about her clients and their best interests. I highly recommend Maine Home Connection!

Fantastic experience: Laura is the absolute best! A true professional who is extremely well educated in the real-estate industry. We have all the faith in Laura. From start to finish she was extremely attentive to all our needs - no matter it be 7am or 10pm she would answer a call or text. Laura is the type of person to drop anything she is doing to accommodate a showing - she was always ready to go, extremely reliable. We trust Laura wholeheartedly - as first time homeowners she took the time to educate us on everything and had our best interest at heart. We don't think we would've been able to make it through the buying process without Laura's support, she is truly a kind soul. Laura absolutely exceeded our expectations. We will be working with her again, and recommend EVERYONE to use her. Everyone buying or selling a home needs to work with Laura and the MHC team!

Fantastic experience: Laura and her whole team were excellent to work with. From start to finish the process of selling our parents' condo was seamless. We can't rave enough!

Fantastic experience: Laura Sosnowski is one in a million. We worked with her back in 2010. I appreciated her vast experience back then and again in 2024. She keeps current and knows her stuff cold. She is so informed and witty that I totally trusted her throughout the process. She knows so many people. Her connections were invaluable when we needed to get quotes and fix problems identified during our home inspection with little time to spare. This made a very stressful situation much more manageable. She worked so hard to help us sell our old home and find a great fit for our new home. We felt like we were her only clients. She was so responsive and thoughtful throughout the whole process. I got overwhelmed and stressed out at times and Laura guided me with the patience and kindness that I needed. Laura made the process fun for my daughter and listened to her ideas as she scoped out her potential room at the house viewings. My husband became emotionally attached to our hopefully forever home that she had to be his voice of reason at times. We all came at the process from different angles and Laura was the perfect person for each of us! We all loved working with her and are so appreciative that she helped navigate us on this journey. We love our new home! Thank you Laura

Fantastic experience: I recently used MHC for both the sale of my home and the purchase of a new home which was new construction. Both sides of this transaction were complicated, and MHC juggled it all with professionalism, tenacity and kindness. From the initial analysis of my current home's market value, which was spot-on, through the journey of getting it "show ready", listing it and generating interest in the dead of winter, MHC was a true partner. On the purchase side, there were many details to attend to with the new construction and they were a great asset for me there as well. I highly recommend Maine Home Connection!

Fantastic experience: Laura and her outstanding team at Maine Home Connections just sold our house quickly, efficiently and at a price that exceeded our expectations. They were a total pleasure to work with and made the whole process pleasant and easy. Every step went just as they said it would and their recommendations of handymen and cleaners really delivered. Their experience and market knowledge was a huge comfort and advantage. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Laura worked with my fiancé and I for 7 months to find our first home, that we would also to be welcoming our first child into. She was very kind, informative and diligent when showing us the ropes of home buying in such a crazy market. She guided us from start to finish, making things apparent and stress free. If you’re looking to buy or sell real estate, my family and I highly recommend Laura at Maine Home Connections to represent you.

Fantastic experience: We had done our homework and were impressed with Maine Home Connection's professionalism. We contacted Laura and Michael and asked them to make a presentation to us. Theirs was really thorough and heavily fact based with lots of research on comparable properties, an optimistic , but reasonable market analysis of our home's value, and a multi-faceted media/marketing plan. They sold us, and then they went to work. Their efforts included producing a really professional video tour that got plenty of views on their website and generated a lot of buzz. We held one open house and, all in all, from the day of first listing to the receipt of the winning offer was only 15 days. 31 days after the offer was accepted, we closed. Throughout it all, Laura was there, always available, always helpful every step of the way. I would suggest that anyone who wants to get top dollar for their property in Maine would be remiss if they didn't give Maine Home Connection a chance to wow them! Virgil and Rachel Bozeman Freeport, Maine

Fantastic experience: Laura worked with us for more than a year trying to find the perfect condo in a very tight and expensive market. She was enthusiastic and patient in our long journey. Finally, when we found the ideal condo, she guided us to make the right offer to secure our future home. Through it all, Laura ended up being more like a trusted friend than a sharp business woman. We highly recommend Laura to represent you in real estate dealings.

Fantastic experience: Laura was invaluable recently with info on today's condo buying procedures. I would recommend her agency to anyone wanting to buy or sell real estate. Peter Ferrante.

Fantastic experience: Wilma Ek was our realtor for buying our house this summer. She was amazing, great personality and would highly recommend! She answered all my questions extremely fast and is very knowledgeable! Everything she predicted would happen, did happen. If your in the market Wilma is awesome!

Fantastic experience: Laura is a gem! Professional, extremely knowledgeable and alway will take the extra steps necessary to ensure everything goes smoothly. She was instrumental in finding a home that fit my needs, crafting a solid offer and ensuring everything went smoothly to closing in a very tight window. If you need a Realtor, MHC is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: Wilma was dogged and determined, and help us get the house we wanted.

Fantastic experience: Working with Wilma Ek at Maine Home Connection was a professional and truly fun experience from start to finish. In a stressful market, she helped us stay positive and focused on what was really important to us. I would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Laura was amazing in helping me get into the perfect home! Working with each other remotely across the country, she was more then willing to drive all over the state of Maine until we came across the right home. The home buying process is quite the ride and everyone at Maine Home Connection made it as smooth as possible. Thank you, and make sure you reach out to them for all your home buying needs!

Fantastic experience: Maine Home connection is a reliable and trustworthy company. Laura is an amazing person and real estate agent, she worked with us constantly to find our ideal house and adapted her schedule to ours, she was able to get us exactly the visits we wanted and went above and beyond to schedule visits at the properties we found. Laura was also extremely knowledgeable and picked up on multiple things we did not see ourselves at each house we visited. Laura made the process of buying a first house smooth and easy. She was also able to connect us to the right teams for inspections, mortgage, etc... She not only helped find us the house and negotiate but she was with us at every step of the process after choosing the house and even after finalizing the paperwork. I highly recommend Maine Home Connection!

Fantastic experience: Laura and Michael always go the extra mile, giving outstanding advice, getting the job done quickly and efficiently, and always making you feel like you're their number one customer! Great results for me and my mom in a number of transactions. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I had an amazing experience working with Jarrod. He was incredibly responsive, helpful, and a joy to work with. He really went above any beyond to help us during our due diligence stage and he has continued to stay in touch and give us advice as we move into our first home!

Fantastic experience: molto professionali.

Fantastic experience: I discovered Maine Home Connection through a recommendation from a coworker and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. As a first time home buyer there were so many questions I had, and Laura was patient and informative through the entire process. I feel as though I was able to make a smart, informed decision about purchasing my new place. She really held my hand from our first meeting all the way until our closing date. I would definitely recommend Maine Home Connection to anyone looking to purchase a house in southern Maine!

Fantastic experience: Relocated to the area from New York. Honestly don't think it would have been possible without Michael, who was absolutely amazing at every step of the process. Moving was stressful but actually finding and buying the house was a great experience with him and his team.

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience using Maine Home Connection. Jarrod Mallon helped us purchase our first home and it was the smoothest closing ever! Wouldn't have gone with anyone else.

Positive experience: Laura and I were a good team for selling my little cottage in Scarborough. She had excellent suggestions for getting it ready to be sold and responded quickly to my every question. She also did a great job getting potential buyers in the door. It was a relief to have Maine Home Connection deal with the details so I could focus on the larger picture. I highly recommend this company.

Fantastic experience: Working with Laura and Alice was a genuine pleasure. We moved from California to Maine and they were helpful and proactive every step of the way. I was only able to spend 2 days with them in person looking at houses. I felt like we got to know each other extremely well in such a short amount of time. The entire buying process went smoothly, I would definitely recommend them to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Maine Home Connection Is the absolute best! We had the pleasure of working with Laura as we relocated from North Carolina to Maine. She was incredibly helpful And very knowledgeable about the area. I recommend her VERY HIGHLY to anyone relocating to the area.

Fantastic experience: When the seller failed to plough, Laura to the rescue! It was awesome working with Laura, from start to finish she helped me with any questions I might have to find my first home. If you need a professional yet funny agent then she's the one for you. Don't waste your time with the dull ones. :) No doubt I will work with Laura again the next time I purchase another house. Give her a call now!

Fantastic experience: My partner and I bought our first house this winter with the help of Maine Home Connection. Laura was our realtor, and she was amazing! As first-time home buyers, she made the process easy for us, explained everything, was on top of every step, and was responsive to all of our texts, calls, and emails. We were really nervous about the process of buying a home, but we ended up in an incredible house that we love. Laura was a force to be reckoned with - she made sure that we were treated fairly and got what we needed. She even crawled up into our attic in heels during our inspection! Katherine was awesome as well - she kept us organized and was so helpful keeping us apprised of each step of the process. We never want to move from this house, but if we do, we will definitely be working with MHC again.

Fantastic experience: I worked with Maine Home Connection in finding my home in 2013 and worked with them again in selling my home in 2018. The staff is extremely responsive and timely, and made the process seamless for me. I appreciate their collaborative and consultative approach when making decisions to increase the home’s value. They also truly understand the market and region. I would absolutely recommend the team to potential buyers and sellers.

Fantastic experience: 1st time working with Laura, she did an outstanding job! We were out of state buyers and Laura and Katherine lined up everything for us, definitely went above and beyond! We are now proud owners of a summer cottage in Ocean Park.

Fantastic experience: Maine Home Connections did a great job selling our condo, I was out of state most of the time, they went the extra mile to deal with a bunch of special circumstances for this listing, sale and closing. I give them a 'Mount Everest' recommendation! The are an outstanding small family business. Fast responses to any and all questions/issues as they arise. I would definatly use them again.

Fantastic experience: Thank you Laura, Michael and Katherine for your professionalism, patience and genuine client care. The Maine Home Connection team was awesome, thanks so much!

Fantastic experience: Laura, Michael, and Katherine are great! They helped us when we bought our Saco home 5 years ago and again when we planned to sale it. The photographs they took of our home were terrific. Loved the video they did too. They did such a great job that we had a full price offer a couple of hours after our house was listed. They were easy to get in touch with and quick to get back with us.

Fantastic experience: I moved from New Jersey to Maine for Love :). Wanted to find a place and came across Michael's number on one of the "for Sale" signs in Westbrook. I am so thankful I reached out to Michael that day! I was new to Portland Area and had no clue where the best places were for me and my family. Michael went above and beyond to assist us. Spent numerous hours searching the right house for us that would reflect our personalities and needs. After few weeks of searching - he did not find us a house - he found us a home. Home that was built with Love - moved for Love and now having home made with Love :) I wish many people to come across such an amazing person like Michael, who truly loves what he does and is so passionate about it. I wish other realtors would learn from him. Not only he was able to find us home, he guided us towards perfect for us lending, insurance, appraisal services. Like someone earlier mentioned in the reviews - we did not gained a realtor - we gained a friend.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I had a fantastic experience working with Julia. As prospective first-time buyers, we didn't have a clue about the process or how to even get started. Julia showed us a wide range of properties in our price-range and helped us think through our options. We could not have asked for a better 'critical friend' to help guide us through this decision. Once the decision was made, the rest of the process was remarkably smooth and efficient. We would highly recommend Julia and Maine Home Connection to others.

Fantastic experience: Buying a home is a stressful experience. Having Michael Hitz as our buyer's agent made the process so much easier. He was, and continues to be after the purchase, both responsive and helpful as we settle into our new home in Maine. Thanks Michael!

Fantastic experience: We were looking to purchase a multifamily property and Jim Connolly was the key to finding exactly what we wanted. For each property that we looked at, Jim presented the facts as he saw them and always made it clear that that was his opinion and the final decision was ours. Jim's advice and knowledge of the market kept us from making bad choices that would have had serious consequences. We patiently looked for over six months and Jim always had our long term goals in mind ( even when we forgot them). Jim is all about customer satisfaction and eventually we found the perfect property for our needs! Thanks Jim!

Fantastic experience: We worked with Susan Russell and had a great experience. We moved to Maine from another state and Susan made things easy on us, and let us proceed at the pace we wanted. She was never pushy, but offered valuable advice that helped us figure out where we wanted to live in the Portland area, and helped us learn the important things we need to look at when buying a house in Maine. Once the process got going she was very proactive ensuring that we got to closing as smoothly as possible.

Fantastic experience: I chose Maine Home Connection because of their stellar reviews and excellent website. My husband and I began looking for a place to buy while we were still living in Massachusetts, and Julia and her team made this such an easy process for out-of-staters like us. Julia accommodated our schedules for the one day we set aside to view properties, and she facilitated the buying process tremendously once we made an offer. We tried buying a house several times in Massachusetts, and our sellers agent was never as knowledgeable or eager to help as Julia, who was organized and anticipated our needs. We are now proud, first-time homeowners in our dream house thanks to Julia and her team. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: This was the second time in as many years that we used the team at Maine Home Connection. They were with us every step of the way in the buying and selling process, making it as smooth and effortless as they could. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Laura, Michael, Julia, and Susan.

Fantastic experience: We loved Julia! As first time homebuyers, the whole process is really intimidating, and full of questions. Julia was available around the clock, and was always quick to respond to our questions and needs. We were having trouble coordinating schedules (my fiance and I) for a meeting with Julia, and she agreed to a late night face time meeting! She went above and beyond in advocating for us, and making sure that the whole sale was legit and in our best interest. The Maine Home Connection office is bright and cheerful, and there is a really sweet office dog to love too! Lennox! Thanks so much MHC for everything!

Fantastic experience: After getting off to a rough start with another selling agent I was referred to Maine Home Connection by Phil O'Hearn. The same day that I had inquired about selling my home, Michael Hitz had contacted me. There are no words to describe how hard this agent worked for my husband and I. From the very beginning we clicked and he was able to handle my sarcastic personality. That alone is huge!! Not only was he available day and night but he strived to no end to make our dreams come true. He represented us as both our selling and buying agent. Within weeks we were under contract! Throughout the buying and selling process Michael was our go to. He always had an answer and a direction to point us in. He never misguided us and was always looking out for our best interest. He became the best therapist a buyer and seller could ask for, cause let's be honest, buying and selling a house is no walk in the park! Most importantly he was "in it to win it" for us! Anyone who's lucky enough to have Michael represent them as their agent will never be disappointed. Not only was he a fanatic agent but he became a really great friend!

Fantastic experience: Michael did an outstanding job for us. We first began working with Michael before relocating from Indianapolis and looking for land to build in Maine. Michael was with us through the journey of determining building was not the best option and began looking for a home to purchase. He was patient and took the time to educate us as the Maine market was very different than our experience in Indianapolis. Michael provided excellent communication, always available for every detail and last question. Ultimately he found us the perfect house and was a top notch negotiator, truly an advocate on our behalf. He coordinated all of the details i.e. inspections, appraisals, closing and kept us informed every step of the way! We have a direct comparison having just sold a house in Indianapolis and while that realtor was effective he was not an advocate working on our behalf. Michael worked with the same high level of service whether it was to be a $40,000 land purchase or a $250K+ house. We have not only gained an excellent realtor but a new friend. We have already recommended Michael to friends preparing to sell their home knowing he will not only sell their home but will advocate for them as he did for us. Very grateful for Michael and Maine Home Connection.

Fantastic experience: We recently sold our lakefront property. We had Laura by our side during the entire process. She walked us through the many steps and made sure everything went smoothly. It was a pleasure to work with her. Many thanks, Laura, for your expertise and all your help! Bob and Cindy

Fantastic experience: Laura was terrific. She had just the right balance between letting me explore on my own, responding to my requests to see properties, and offering her input. Although I had been following the market for months, in the end, she found the house I ended up buying. She was also very responsive and thoughtful throughout the negotiation process. Julia, her assistant, was right on top of things as well.

Fantastic experience: Julia was incredibly helpful in every way. She took the time to understand exactly what I needed, which was a little different from what most people would need. She did plenty of leg work identifying places and visiting them with me. Once we identified the right place she was invaluable from the offer through the closing. She even went so far as to check the plot plan at the registrar of deeds and discovered that the place had a deeded parking spot that the seller didn't even know about!

Fantastic experience: We used Home Connections as our Buyers Agent and worked with Susan Russell. We were very pleased with the assistance she provided throughout the process. We were out of state buyers so she provided a very important service that allowed us to use our time efficiently. She fully represented our interests at each property we viewed and once we selected one, she was invaluable right through the closing. One additional note: after we moved in she connected us with a handy man, a plumber, and an electrician, all top notch and honest individuals. We were quite satisfied with Susan and highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: I have bought and sold with Maine Home Connection, and I highly recommend them. Laura, Michael, and Julia are incredibly knowledgable about the market, and provide far more information and services than the typical real estate agency. They consistently go above and beyond, and make the stressful process of buying and selling much easier. I will use them again in the future, and would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

Fantastic experience: Laura and Michael did a fantastic job helping me initially buy, and years later to sell my home. Their assistance went well beyond what any other real estate agents provides. Whether it was staging assistance, pricing strategies, market analysis and even video taping the remodeling project I did at my house. Their professionalism, personal attention and support was the reason I was able to sell my house at a good price I highly recommend Laura and Michael at Maine Home Connection for any real estate transaction.

Fantastic experience: Susan at Maine Home Connection made purchasing our first house such an amazing experience. She was such a good advisor and also exhibited such wonderful patience during this stressful time. We are so grateful!

Fantastic experience: We listed our home with Michael & Laura in April of last year. They sold our home in 5 days with multiple offers!!! Now I realize this is not all that common but with their wonderful Video of our home and the fabulous photos they took, we came on the market full blast right from the beginning! Julia the executive assistant kept us informed all along the way of inspections and all of the paperwork and what ever had to be done!! They are a wonderful team, we always felt we were special and that they were doing everything possible to make sure our transaction went thru without problems!!!

Fantastic experience: El mejor lugar par mi
