Armand Auclair
REALTOR
License Number: BA925022
I recently entered into an area that feels so natural to me given my history of building construction, land development and real estate. I was the owner of a custom building company and a custom mill work, specialty hardware company on Mount Desert Island and Portland, Maine area for 30 years. I had the pleasure of working with many very discriminating clients that required me to be attentive and keenly aware of what they wanted in the marketplace. I absolutely understand customer service and possess the essential personal experience to obtain your objectives with professionalism together with documented confidentiality. My friends and former clients have asked me for years to review their real estate purchases prior to the offer process. I recently completed the State of Maine real estate program of study and the necessary licensing testing. I am anxious to share my custom building experience coupled with my building science knowledge benefiting my clients toward making informed decisions related to their next home, land purchase or sale of existing real estate.

recommends Armand Auclair
Selling my parents was much more emotional than I had anticipated. Armand was always there for support. There were repairs that needed to be taken care of, he used his sources to get things done. Called an electrician and 2 days later the problem was solved.
He wanted to know any interesting history of the property to pass on to potential buyers.
The home was on the market for less than 10 days until it went under contract. Sold I less than 6 weeks for more than we asked. If honesty and a real desire to serve his clients is what you seek. Look no further than this man.

Sometimes real estate is a wish or a dream and I found a realtor who had a piece of property in Maine that I was interested in his name was Armand he represented the seller so I called him and asked if I could bid on the property which after looking at
an examining the pictures the description of the land I was interested in he gave me the time and the patients and understanding that this was a property that I would not visit before the closing of course I had a lot of questions and he was there to help
I recommend him as my realtor and a friend Rick
Background:
I live in Arizona and decided to take a risk buy buying land in Maine without the opportunity to visit first. I Needed a summer home because of the 110 degree summers and I guess the Arizona Ocean had dried up because everything here looks like beach with no water.
I personally think that Maine will be the long term future of waterfront property and green acreage because of the changes of weather south of them, the crazy and overpriced west coast, and affordability compared to other close by states.
Why Armand:
Originally I called the individual Realtors representing the properties I was interested in. All of the seemed the same by not listening to my needs and trying to show me what they wanted to show me. Some did not even understand common real Estate Terms that are common sense to experienced agents. Most kept sending me listings that were nothing like the list of requirements I was looking for. Most did not want to help me more if I wanted to have them show me other listings that were not theirs and suddenly became too busy to help.
Then I met Armand through one of his listings. Although that property did not work for me, he took the time to listen, to take his time finding the right property for me. The ones I was interested in, he took the time to do video walkthroughs for as long as I needed and I never felt rushed. He built a relationship beyond client and Broker. He was familiar with every question I asked and based on his previous experiences as a builder, he had many insights that others would not have. I decided to let every other broker know that I would be working with Armand only.
He learned what I wanted and didn't want in terms of different types of neighborhoods, What I needed to be able to access locally, and what excited me and turned me off in where I wanted to buy. He gave me honest Insight on everywhere I was interested in since he was my eyes. He actually saw the locations as if he was looking through my eyes and based on pictures and descriptions, he was able to check off every one of my boxes good or bad . When I finally found the perfect property, he even took the time to introduce himself to the next door neighbor the get additional info. Long Store short, he found me the perfect 3.3 acres on the bayfront in the perfect location that I fell in love with and purchased without any doubt or buyers regret, even without the opportunity for a personal visit. (My wife who hates cold weather finally let me get my dream home in Maine for my 60th, and I was afraid that if I took too long she would change her mind so had to do this remotely since could not get away) He made every step easy. I can honestly say, that he has integrity and experience and Patience to see the process through to the end and beyond. He also has a great sense of humor.
On a personal Note:
When my Arizona Friends get jealous of my Maine Property and want to but land or homes themselves, he will be the agent I insist they use.
I didn't know the guy 3 months ago, but when I do eventually make Maine a summer home for me and my family, I hope to meet Armand in person and count him among my friends.
I could go on for paragraphs, but I think I made my point, and as a discriminating client in every transaction in life, I can honestly say- Just use this guy if you want to get things done right have piece of mind, and minimize and obstacles.
If you want to contact me as a reference I will be happy to talk to you.
Just please remember the 3 hour time difference if reaching out to me (I will give Armand permission to forward my contact info.)
