Testimonials

"We had been looking for a vacation home for a couple of years. Shirley kept us updated on new listings and would preview properties for us since we were out of town. She did not tire of showing us places when we were in town! She provided guidance about the values of the properties and both the positives and negatives that we may have missed as non-locals. When we found our perfect place, she helped facilitate everything. She made what could have been a difficult process because of our out of state location an easy one. We had one glitch and she got it resolved. Shirley continued to be a big help after closing by recommending contractors and by just checking in to see about our progress. She is professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with and we recommend her highly!"

 

"We highly recommend Shirley as a realtor. She knows the area, knows the market and provides a nice mix of personal and professional input while selecting homes to view. Then, once we selected “our” home, Shirley managed the purchase process with perfection. Emails were answered swiftly. Forms delivered instantly - in fact we closed three weeks after the signed P&S was finalized."

 

"Danny and I loved working with Shirley. She helped us every step of the way from pointers before putting my house up for sale to keeping us abreast of every detail of the phase of selling my house until it was finally sold. She was so knowledgeable about all the details that we went through in order to get the house sold. She worked hard and steadfast in making sure we were up to date with everything that transpired including working on her days off to make sure we were always informed. We honestly would never had been able to do it without her. She was extremely communicative and completely genuine. I would wholeheartedly recommend her for your next realtor. You will not be disappointed."

 

"I know I would not have been able to sell my house as fast and as efficiently without Shirley. She was on top of everything and so communicative about this whole transaction even when she was not at work or when she was attending to family functions, she still took time out to send a text or call. She is so knowledgeable and made each road block that we might have encountered so much easier to handle. I highly recommend her for your realtor when buying or selling a house. You will not be disappointed."

 

"Shirley McIver has guided me through the purchase and sale of two homes in Bridgton over the past few years. I have always been so impressed with Shirley's knowledge of the region's real estate market, her guidance on how to move along a house sale expeditiously, and particularly with her continual focus on what is best for the seller and for the buyer.....I highly recommend Shirley to anyone choosing to buy or sell a home in the greater Bridgton area.""

 

“We began working with Shirley when we rented a summer home that she managed. We rented the home for 4 years in a row, and were very impressed with Shirley's responsiveness and knowledge of the area. We fell in love with the area, and asked Shirley to help us find our own lake home! She was very helpful in negotiating an ideal price for our home, and helped us with issues after the home inspection. Gave us wonderful recommendations for businesses to use, as we are from another state. Being so far away from where we were buying was stressful, but didn't feel that way working with Shirley. We trusted and appreciated her feedback through out the whole process. After we closed, she still checks in on us to see if we need anything, and has even offered to stop by our home to check on it if we are not around! Highly Highly Recommend Shirley!”

 

“Shirley sold our house in Bridgton in less than a week! With her knowledge of local markets, she suggested a listing price higher than our expectations. Shirley provided important guidance in navigating multiple offers. We ended up with a full price sale, the transaction of which proceeded smoothly.” -Erika Rowland

 

“I had called Shirley from her number on the for sale sign. We were able to set up a showing. At the time, the house was a little high price range for me. The sellers had also decided to take their home off the market for the winter. When Shirley came back from her January vacation, she noticed they had not returned the sign. She found out that they had changed their minds and decided to keep it on the market. She called me and we set up another showing. She helped me every step of the way from finding a lawyer, a home inspector, went to the town to see if I could put a barn on the property and was a liazon when the sellers wanted to sell some of their belongings. I would call her on a weekend and she responded immediately. She was always knowledgeable, professional and very helpful. I would recommend her highly to anyone.”

“Paul Kenison Shirley handled the sale of mothers's home in Bridgton for me. The value of the property in dollar amount was very small. Her share of the sales commission must of also been very small. This did not seem to influence the amount of effort that Shirley put into getting the property sold for what I felt was a fair price. Shirley was in frequent contact with me about selling strategy and her progress. She stayed on top of all of the transactions straight thru to the closing. To sum up my experience with Shirley: Very competent, through and very hard working for the client. ”

 

“16 Years ago my husband and I decided to move to Maine from Mass. We contacted Shirley through her Real Estate office in Naples Me and told her we wanted to look at several homes in one day. Shirley stepped up to the plate and off we went looking for hours. Shirley always has her customers best intrests in mind and is very reliable. If we needed answers on a home she had them within hours no matter what time or day we asked. Needles to say we purchased our home in Bridgton and have loved it for 16 years. I would highly recommend Shirley to anyone in the market. Cynthia LeBlanc”
