The Castles's have been wonderful in finding our home! My partner and I are first time homeowners and found that Cortney and Dan were so thorough and patient when explaining the process. They made the anxiety of buying a home so much easier with stellar response time to texts and requests. We were the first people to view our home, loved it, and we're under contract that very day. We closed on the house by the end of the month, which was so fast and efficiently lead by Courtney and Dan. It's also worth a mention that these two are LQBTQIA+ safe and treated my partner and I with equality and respect.

Mindy was always on our side. She made it nice and smooth for our transition of moving out of state. She kept us up to date with text messages with showings, inspections, and anything else we needed. She actually was the one that saw a leak from the water heater while not in the house, called me immediately so we can take care of the issue with the company to come out to fix. She even went back to see if it was fixed. She has been a godsent while I was busy relocating my parents. I definitely trust and recommend Mindy for all your selling or buying needs for your NextHome. Thanks

There are not enough words to express our gratitude for Tracy’s knowledge, wisdom, and HONESTY! She is so good at her job, and she knows the ins and outs of it all. But my favorite aspect about how she conducts business is she will always be honest and upfront. She doesn’t ‘sugarcoat’ things and we truly appreciate that! She’s not a saleswoman, and she always has her clients best interest at heart.

This team did an amazing job at helping me understand all the small and big issues to watch out for when looking for a home. They were honest with the house condition and didn’t try and hide or leave out small details, I was made me aware of any issues. They have a great all around team and are very easy to work with, they helped me out with understanding all the fun and exciting requirements that come with becoming a new homeowner. I would choose them if I was to do it over again, very satisfied.

I have been in the real estate field for the past 18 years in Connecticut. 7 years as an agent and then 11 years as a real estate broker. I retired in 2025 and moved up to Northern Maine which I had wanted to do for 7 years. In addition, I have been investing and flipping properties in Connecticut for over 11 years under my business at SanfordRei.com. When I arrived up here to essentially start fresh with needing a whole new set of contractors I could use and a new real estate agent that I could count on. At that time, and not knowing Brittany yet, I hired a very seasoned, well known agent who listed my 1st flip and sat on it for 2 months not actively "working the file". I parted ways and went looking for someone that was relentless, smart, loyal, hard working, competent, responsive and friendly. These are all of the things I was as an agent and broker and did not think I could find anyone up here in Maine that could even be half that. Well I found "Britt" and she is all of that and More! She not only encompasses all of those things but she ALSO has rehab knowledge and an eye like an investor or flipper! Add to it something I value coming from the Tri-State area of NY/NJ/CT, she won't sugarcoat things! With me, she knows she can "unleash" without a filter but do not think for a moment, that she cannot be professional with others when it calls for it. In 7 years coming up here, I have dealt with many agents and for the most part, they were all very nice BUT they lacked many of those attributes I listed above, especially competency. The only reason I did not want to do this recommendation was that, in time, everybody will want Brittany as their agent and I honestly do not want to share her greatness with anybody! lol Here is the best thing! She is still young and will only get better - which is incredible! By the way, after 2 months of my house sitting on the market going stale because the prior Broker never worked it, Britt had it under contract in 8 days!!! If you are a homeowner or investor in the Aroostook County area, you would be foolish, not to call her. 5 STARS!

Tracy has been fantastic for our family. We met her through our daughter's cross-country home buying process and used Tracy as buyer's agent to purchase our home in Mt. Chase. She is knowledgeable, patient, communicates well, and goes above and beyond to get the job done, including pushing where required on occasion. We couldn't be happier and recommend Tracy wholeheartedly for your real estate needs in northern and central Maine.

I highly suggest Tracy to help with home buying. Tracy is reliable, knowledgeable, and was helpful during the process of buying my first home. Tracy made sure everything was taken care of and made the process as smooth and easy as it could be.

My son was trying to buy his first home but came to some dead ends with banks and regulations. My girlfriend recommended Tracy to help him through the process because she had helped her daughter get a home. Where we thought it was no longer a possibility, she knew the right people who were willing to give the loan and was a great representative for a new buyer in this process. Thanks so much Tracy for making it happen

It was such a pleasure to do business with Mindy. She is very professional, she has a great personality and she has good knowledge of the area. Mindy helped us in selling our Lake property. Her recommendations on the details for the sale were right for us. We sold within a couple of days and closed within less than one month.
I recommend Mindy Braley to anyone who is looking for a realtor.

Brittany is not only the most amazing realtor I have ever worked with in my life, she is one of the most amazing people I have ever met too.
Without Brittany, I could not have made one of the most challenging moves of my life from Tennessee to Caribou Maine.
Two months ago, when I first talked with Brittany Plante, all I had was a dream in my head about moving to Caribou Maine. I just knew it sounded like a quaint, small, northern Maine town with lots of snow, beautiful homes, and virtually no tornadoes. I had lived through 5 tornadoes passing over my home and 110 degree heat indexes in the Tennessee summers. So, I was ready for the chance to move to where I really wanted to live...far north, northern lights, cool summers, and lovely friendly people.
I was immediately impressed with Brittany, because she was incredibly friendly, personable, knowledgeable, and resourceful. She just made me feel like I had known her all my life. She immediately referred me to Hive Mortgage, contacted the realtor at the property that I liked, and she got the ball rolling immediately!
Thanks to Brittany and Hillary at Hive, the next thing I knew I had a purchase agreement and I was pre-approved for a home loan. Like all of this wasn't amazing enough, Brittany stood by me when I was about to give up. She was calm, patient, caring, and she went out of her way to give me hope and encouragement to not give up.
When I finally made the big move to Caribou, she was beyond exceptional helping me in ways that she did not have to do to get me into my home. She went above and beyond to make my dream happen. She never gave up, and she didn't let me give up. She was just spectacular.
I offer my highest recommendation of Brittany Plante to anyone looking for a realtor that is extraordinary that provides outstanding support that goes beyond even excellent customer service. She is unbelievable and I would not be here without her (and her family's help).
Brittany will take fantastic care of you!! If you need to buy a home, this lady is the realtor you need to go get!

Our family moved here from Indiana. We found our home on Zillow and made the decision to purchase the property without ever seeing it or stepping foot in Maine. However, Mindy was an amazing communicator when it came to navigating our family to complete the sale. Mindy responds quickly and made several trips onto the property for us. She also helped communicate with local contractors so they could come into the house prior to our arrival. Mindy went above and beyond to make this happen for our family. Her husband also provided a mowing service which allowed us to unload items into the buildings around the property. Mindy is a native and knows a lot about Madawaska and Aroostook County as she has lived her whole life. We look forward to continue working with Mindy as we settle in and acclimate to our new community.

We recently purchased a home and had the pleasure of working with Dan, and I can confidently say the experience exceeded all expectations. Our transaction was far from simple, but Dan handled every challenge with professionalism, persistence, and expertise.
From start to finish, his communication was outstanding—he kept us informed at every step, was always available to answer questions, and made sure we fully understood each part of the process. His knowledge of the local market and surrounding area was incredibly valuable and gave us a strong sense of confidence in our decisions.
What truly set Dan apart, though, was his dedication and genuine care. He went above and beyond to ensure our deal went through smoothly, advocating for us when it mattered most. By the end of the process, he didn’t just feel like our realtor—he felt like a trusted friend.
If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly invested in your success, I highly recommend working with Dan.

We were connected with Brittany through Zillow and upon meeting we knew it would be a great fit working with her! She was always readily available to help and answered even my late night texts promptly. Her and her husband's expertise were super helpful and she had several great recommendations for inspectors that made it easy to connect with one. She went above and beyond to represent us and get us into our first home there in Northern Maine. Excited to embark on this new adventure and grateful to have gained a new friend during this journey!

Jessica Saunders was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our home-buying journey. From the very beginning, she was bright, kind, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to understand what our family was looking for and was always flexible and accommodating as we explored different homes and communities.
What impressed us most was Jessica's ability to draw on her extensive knowledge and resources to help us better understand both the houses we were considering and the surrounding area. Her insight was invaluable and gave us confidence as we made one of the biggest decisions of our lives.
Jessica was responsive, patient, honest, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right home. We never felt rushed or pressured, and she was always willing to answer questions, provide guidance, and go the extra mile whenever needed.
We are so grateful for Jessica's support, expertise, and dedication. She made the entire process feel manageable and even enjoyable. We would highly recommend Jessica Saunders to anyone looking for a realtor who truly cares about her clients and consistently delivers exceptional service.

Can’t recommend Brittany enough. Was by far the easiest, and most straight forward realtor I have come across. She went the extra mile to make sure any questions were answered and was a real straight shooter with no nonsense added in. Would highly recommend using her as your realtor.

We had an great experience working with our realtor. She was patient, personable, and completely straightforward with us throughout the entire process. She navigated the deal so that her commission was covered by the seller, saving us extra out of pocket costs. Beyond being a great negotiator, she was efficient and timely with communication and her side of paperwork. To top it off, she welcomed us into our new home with a thoughtful housewarming gift and a sweet card. If you want someone who is honest, efficient, and personable, Tracy is your girl!
