Buying with True North

Find Your Piece of Maine

We help you search, tour, and buy homes in central and western Maine. No fancy sales talk. Just local guidance.

Search results open on our RealScout listing portal.

Before we show you a home

Important: Modern rules require that all buyers sign a written broker agreement with their agent before touring any home together.

This agreement makes things clear. It says exactly how we work for you and how we get paid. We always go over this first so there are no surprises down the road.

Why a person, not a listing site

What working with us actually gets you

  • We'll tell you when a house is priced high for the area, even if that's not what you want to hear.
  • We negotiate for you, not for the deal closing fastest.
  • We walk the property with you and point out what's worth noticing, room by room.

We guide. You decide.

How the Buying Process Works

We make buying a home plain and simple. Here are the steps we will take together:

1

Get Pre-Approved

Before you start looking, talk to a local Maine lender. They will help you find a budget that fits your family and show sellers you are ready.

2

Define Your Goal

Are you looking for a quiet camp on the lake, a working farm in Leeds, or a starter home in town? We help list out your must-haves.

3

Tour Homes

We look at houses together. We check the big stuff like roofs, heating, and cellars so you know exactly what you are getting.

4

Write the Offer

When you find "the one," we write a clear offer. We handle negotiations to get you fair terms and protect your earnest money.

5

Under Contract to Closing

We walk you through inspections, the home appraisal, and the title work. We keep your deal on schedule and hand you the keys on closing day.

Public record check

We pull deed history, liens, easements, and permit records on a property before you write an offer, not after. If a house has an unpermitted addition or a lien that needs clearing, we want to know before it becomes your problem.

Why work with us

Everything your agent handles, spelled out

Buyers often see the showings. Here is the rest of what happens on our side of the transaction.

  • Pull public records, deed history, liens, and permit records before you get attached to a house
  • Run comparables and pricing analysis, on either side of the transaction
  • Write and review every contract, addendum, and disclosure
  • Negotiate price, repairs, and terms on your behalf
  • Coordinate inspections, appraisals, and the lender's timeline
  • Track every deadline in the purchase and sale so nothing lapses
  • Manage title work and coordinate with the closing attorney
  • Attend the closing and walk you through every page you sign
  • Stay reachable through the whole process, not just before you sign
