Why Work With Cates Real Estate?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
Kerry is such an asset to the resale state world and to Cates! She is a warm, down to earth, honest, caring human. She was patient and kind to me throughout the entire process, had excellent recommendations and suggestions when shopping for a loan, considering my options, and wasn't afraid to be a real-life "Nancy Drew" when it came to crawling into cobweb-filled basements with her flashlight. As a first-time home buyer, I had no idea what I qas embarking upon, but Kerry was with me every step of the way and communicated quickly and effectively. She worked tirelessly to negotiate with the seller of the property I needed up closing on, and never gave up her enthusiasm. I recall one phone call when she sounded just like a proud mom would, when she had good news for me.
I cannot recommend Kerry enough. She also helped my sister and I out in the past when we needed to sell a relative's home in a quick timeframe--she went out of her way with this emotional process. 10/10 recommend!

Stacy was very knowlegeable in her advice about selling the house and how to come up with a price that would draw clients to look at it. She also advised me on how to make the house neater by moving out all the family pictures that made the house look cluttered. It worked !! I had my house on the market starting Mar 20th and there was a showing or two every day except on Sunday. Had two offers within the week and again Stacy pointed out the good and not so good points in the offers with my family present. As a result I was able to make the right decision on the offer with my family's approval. Stacy is a top notch agent and I would highly recommend her to sell your house.

Kerry exhibited nothing but professionalism dispite me trying to get her off track! Knew Kerry from a previous purchase, and had such confidense we never even met up with her during the entire process! We were in Owls Head, and the property in Biddeford and she did it all with phone and text! Trust is a great thing! May we work together again some day!

We were in NH and looking for the perfect home in Maine. We had a fairly rigid ideas of what we wanted and a rather large area we were willing to live in. Blakeley jumped into the search with both feet and never looked back. When we found something she'd drive over and give us a virtual tour. By the time we found our house we had no qualms putting an offer on it after only seeing it virtually with Blakeley, solely because we had developed such an amazing relationship and trust with her. You can't go wrong with Blakeley, she will listen to you, she will advocate for you and she will find you a beautiful home!

Kerry was able to use her knowledge of local markets to steer me in better directions than I originally thought of. On a moments notice, she gave up an entire Sunday to meet with us and show us houses in 4 towns, and additional drive byes across multiple neighborhoods in Portland. When the right property listed, she jumped all over it and 30 days later we moved in (she even helped unload the trailer.)
I have never had a real estate purchase go this smoothly before. I am very glad we happened across Kerry and her team and definitely recommend to anyone.

Stacey's approach made every step of the process feel easy, even when it wasn't. There were some bumps in the road becasue I was selling an old house that needed work. Stacey was hands on to the point of making repairs herself, and encouraging at just the right moments, guiding me through the journey when I lost my steam. I am extremely happy with the way the sale ended, and I'm contentedly settling into my new home (also with her great help!). Stacey is that rare breed of groundedness, ease, integrity, professionalism and grit. She helped me travel the challenging process of selling my home and relocating in a way that made me feel truly proud of the process. Thank you Stacey! You are a gem!

Jill was so easy to work with. She made the entire transaction seamless and was super accommodating to all parties. We would use and recommend Jill without hesitation.

Kerry really got to know me and only recommended properties that were a good fit. I was able to find and move into my new home in less than a month. That is unheard of in this Southern Maine real estate market. Kerry and her partner Aimee are experienced professionals and are so good at their jobs. I wouldn't work with anyone else.
