Mike Garrigan
Mike was really helpful when I was looking for a house in Maine. He sent me updates every few weeks for YEARs! On about year four, we finally found the perfect one. I am grateful that he stuck it out with me and he was extremely knowledgeable throughout the whole process
- 03/14/2014 - daphnewhoward Bought and sold a home in 2013 in Friendship, ME 04547.We purchased a home In Rockport but were living remote at the time. Mike handled all the details that would have fallen to us. We would highly recommend Mike to manage your search and closing negotiations.
- 03/14/2014 - manningadventure Bought a home in 2011.Mike worked very well with us. He took excellent pictures of our home, was very honest in his assessment of its value and in presenting expectations of its sale, and actively worked to get us a buyer. The house sold very quickly, for a fair price. Mike dealt with us with respect and integrity. We would highly recommend him for either a purchase or a sale.
- 03/14/2014 - jdgreen4 Sold a Single Family home in 2012 in Thomaston, ME.In 2009 we had the distinct pleasure of having Mike Garrigan represent us to sell our house and then purchase a new one, it was a very successful experience. His knowledge of the market and ability to recognize our interests made both deals flawless. Mike often exceeded our expectations during the buying and selling process which we appreciated. I would highly recommend Mike for any real estate transaction where he will exhibit his strengths of attention to detail, open communication and a champion for doing whatever it takes for his client.
- 03/14/2014 - crussell3 Bought and sold a home in 2009 in Rockville, Rockport, ME 04856.Mike was extremely helpful, professional and on track regarding the sale of our property. The entire transaction was completed in record time. Our property was sold fast. We were completely satisfied and would recommend Mike to anyone.
- 03/14/2014 - snaabcv Sold a Single Family home in 2009 in Thomaston, ME.Mike was recommended to us through the Dave Ramsey website, as we searched for an Endorsed Local Provider. There wasn't one available in the local area, but we were referred to Mike by the closest ELP. We put Mike through his paces, changing our minds, listing and de-listing our house three times before finally going through with the sale. Mike was completely professional, patient, courteous, and responsive throughout the entire experience. We could not recommend him more highly. It was a pleasure to work with him, and we would not hesitate to do so again if given the opportunity.

- 03/14/2014 - donnacrum1 Sold a Single Family home in 2013 in Thomaston, ME.We wanted to buy a house with beautiful front view. When I mean front view I really mean it, because most of the posts advertise with "front view" and nothing can be seen because of the trees. So, it was a specific challenge for Mike. He was very patient with us, even when one of his colleagues used a bad commercial way towards us. He always was dedicated to the task, explaining clearly the specific terms of the deal, which was not easy, because, as French, things are so different to buy a house in France. We felt confident in his job and relationship. The result is we found something at the border of his territory. He was nevertheless very helpful to enter in negotiations with the dealers and the other broker. My answer to negotiation skills depends on the result of the deal. But, maybe, we were too happy to find this house and too prone to buy it. Let's share the responsibility. And thanks to MikePierre and Barbara

- 03/14/2014 - pcdoc5 Sold a home in 2013 in Medomak, Bremen, ME 04551.I have nothing but praise for the way that Mike Garrigan handled the entire process of my home sale in Thomaston -- from all points of view, beginning to end. He's a very straightforward, honest, open person. He answered all my questions, explained his approach, we quickly reached an agreement he would serve as my broker and the sale price. Once I was ready to go, he was immediately on the job, camera in hand, using a "total coverage" method of bringing my home to the attention of every kind of buyer--drive-by box with attractive print materials; ads in local papers & a full internet presence, in particular for those (like me) who like a lot of photos. He arranged an immediate tour from other realtors; passed along their suggestions for how to make things more attractive to buyers. All good ideas that worked. Most of all, I think he likes houses, architecture, history, and he likes people. His relationship with other brokers is excellent. He has just the right sensibility to let folks alone when they need to take their time and to be there when needed. The house sold in record time. I am very grateful for his extraordinary professional and social skills.
- 03/14/2014 - albiedavis Sold a home in 2013.Mike was very patient with impatient sellers (my wife and I). He handled our prospective buyer with skill and professionalism even when none was deserved. If it weren't for Mike, the deal would not have come together
- 03/14/2014 - charliemerrill Sold a home in 2009 in Martinsville, St George, ME 04860.Mike was instrumental in the sale of my home almost two years ago. He was a partner with me as we communicated frequently and efficiently during the process. I think you will be pleased with his integrity and ability to attend to your personal interests.
- 03/14/2014 - pjs8 Sold a Single Family home in 2012 in Thomaston, ME.I first met Mike when I was looking for a home to buy. I had no knowledge of the area and little knowledge of the housing market. He listened to what I said I wanted and understood what I said. He told me what he thought about things-- (why I might rather live in one town than another one, for instance) and gave me reasons why he thought that. He was very knowledgeable regarding taxes, property information, rights of way, etc.He has since helped me buy a house with my son and land for my daughter. In every case, he was helpful, knowledgeable, and respectful.

- 03/16/2014 - elread2009 Sold a Single Family home in 2012 in Thomaston, ME.Mike made selling our house as easy as possible. His advice was very helpful in selling our home in a down market. Without his guidance, our home could still be on the market. I would highly recommend his services if you desire personal attention and expertise. Susan & Larry Watkins
- Sold a Single Family home in 2011 in Warren, ME.I inherited a 200+-year-old house in mid-coast Maine. I was unable to live in it--my work is elsewhere. Mike Garrigan was recommended as a good man for antique properties. I followed his advice in preparing the house for viewing and we put it on the market in March 2013. His knowledge of the market for antique houses is such that we sold it in June of the same year. I am satisfied with the price and would be very pleased to work with Mr. Garrigan again. He is smart, diligent, and pleasant to work with.
- Sold a Single Family home in 2013 in Thomaston, ME.Mike is very thorough in setting up an appointment to view the house to be sold and following through with the details for putting the house up for sale. He took time to take pictures of each room in the best possible light. He kept me abreast of what was happening each week as to how many people looked at the house and their comments. His feedback and weekly updates were encouraging.
- 03/27/2014 - kelley s Sold a home in 2013 in Thomaston, ME 04861.I've worked with Mike three times over the past eight years, twice selling and once buying. He is a true professional - excellent to work with - knows the local market through and through and makes the process and paperwork easy to deal with. I've recommended him many times and will continue to do so.
- 04/01/2014 - tacytrippe Bought a Single Family home in 2007 in Thomaston, ME.I happily extend a five plus star rating for successfully helping me with two real estate ventures in the past four years. He returned every phone call and answered every question I had promptly and honestly. He was patient and knowledgeable through every viewing until I found exactly the right home. He gets a very big thank you from me.
- 04/12/2014 - cynthialittlefield Bought a home in 2014.We have employed Mikes services to market three pieces of land in Owl's Head. The results as follows:- within two months of his listing of these properties two are sold and closed and there is considerable interest in the third. Mikes attention to detail, knowledge of the market and sage counsel is the major factor in these successes. We have greatly appreciated his straight forward approach and highly recommend his services to anyone looking to sell or buy real estate. We have just listed another property with Mike.
- Sold a Single Family home in 2014 in Owls Head, ME.Mike knew the area and the market. When asked about a listing with another agency, he had all the answers to my questions about the particular property. Timely responses to all phone calls and messages left with him, I am not his only client. From listing to purchase and sales agreement was only 2 days. Lucky, somewhat, in fact, I actually attribute it to his experience and knowledge of the area. If you are looking to sell or buy I would contact Mike as he gets it done. Thanks again, Mike.
- 08/08/2014 - thesaw2 Sold a Single Family home in 2014 in Thomaston, ME.We were very pleased with Mikes efforts in selling our parents home. We found him to be very knowledgeable and informative with regards to the current trend with home sales in the area. He was very professional and kept us well informed with everything as it happened. The house sold in just a little over 2 months of being on the market. We couldnt have asked for better results.
- 08/22/2014 - EllRig121010 Sold a home in 2014 in Rockland, ME 04841.Mike was a very helpful salesman for our house in Warren. He gave us good suggestions for making the house more salable. His pricing recommendations made the house sell in this still slow market. He was always considerate in his dealings with potential buyers. He came to us highly recommended and we will be recommending his services to others who are looking to sell real estate.
- 09/08/2014 - cdfahy Sold a home in 2014.Mike helped us sell multiple properties. We found him to be very responsive and professional. We would highly recommend him for your real estate needs.
- 09/23/2014 - todd781 Sold a Single Family home in 2014 in Cumberland, ME.Mike was just amazing. We needed to sell our house and buy a house and move in only 3 months. Mike helped us with a listing price that would put our house at a very competitive price. He also helped us with what projects to do and not to do before taking the listing pictures and showing our house. He was always very prompt for showing and answered any questions we had... and we had a lot being the first house we were selling. He was extremely knowledgable and when we realized we needed our roof replaced, he hooked us up with the best roofing guy for an amazing price! With Mike's unfailing help we got an offer and settled our deal in less than 3 weeks and was able to move and get to our new house before the summer was over and when we had new jobs starting. We have 2 small children and he was very understanding of our busy schedules and was there for us whenever we needed him. The only thing we are upset with is that we've moved out of the area and that he can't be our next real estate agent! We can't recommend him enough! Thank you, Mike! Angela and Jarrod
- 12/20/2014 - angelal182 Sold home in 2014 in Thomaston, ME 04861.Actions speak louder than words!!! We have bought one house using Mike as our broker. We have sold two houses using Mike as our broker. We have recommended him to friends who are contemplating selling their houses. We would use him again as our agent. We were very pleased with the professional job he did in taking pictures of our homes featured online and used in flyers. He has an upbeat, can-do attitude and that was/is important to us.
- 12/22/2014 - jemengr Sold a Single Family home in 2014 in South Thomaston, ME.Mike was very fast to respond when we contacted him about our relocation to Maine. He listened to our wants and needs and was able to find us the perfect house. During a tough negotiation with an unreasonable seller, Mike went the extra mile to make our deal go through. I was very grateful I chose Mike Garrigan to handle our real estate transaction during our relocation.
- 12/31/2014 - freyerfamily1 Bought a Single Family home in 2014 in Union, ME.Mike is energetic, dynamic, has great interpersonal skills and understands his business. Mike pays attention to detail and to very difficult interpersonal relationships. Mike sold a property for me that I owned with a relative. The relationship with my relative was very difficult, but Mike remained neutral and non-judgmental throughout the process.
- 08/25/2015 - Cyndale80 Sold a Single Family home in 2015 in Spruce Head, ME.My experience with Mike was absolutely phenomenal. I looked at a house and it closed in less than a month. He found me the perfect house in my price range that fit all my needs. I would recommend Mike to anyone that I know. Very impressive.
- 08/25/2015 - KimberlyLoper Bought a Single Family home in 2015 in Rockland, ME.Mike will not let you down. He'll take time to understand you and what you are looking for and combining that with his extensive knowledge of both the properties and the areas - he'll help narrow your search and find the perfect home in the perfect location. He really knows the process and will navigate you through it - trust him for recommendations on lenders and other people involved in the process as he really knows top firms. We were very impressed and very very happy with the results Mike got for us.
- Bought a Single Family home in 2015 in South Thomaston, ME.Mike Garrigan is very straight with his assessments and offers. We felt that following his advice took us to the right buyer at the right time. Mike has the skills to stay on top of the market and on top of the details that made our sale possible. The culmination of his skills is what brought us the results that we needed and we are very happy about it.
- 11/01/2015 - gigi hynd Sold a home in 2015 in North Cushing, Cushing, ME 04563.Mike, we found to be very pro-active in every aspect of selling our home. He has great attention to detail. Mike has proven to be a "seller," not just interested in getting the "listing!" His follow through at the closing, made for a very easy transition. Our buyer was very impressed as well. It was a simple and effortless process. We highly recommend Mike and his professional approach to anyone looking for a mid-coast Maine realtor
- 11/03/2015 - jmather100 Sold a home in 2015 , Thomaston, ME 04861.From start to finish Mike was the consummate professional. By the end of the process, I think now of him, as my friend. I live full time in Texas. I was looking to purchase a place in Maine. Mike was the listing agent for the home I ultimately purchased. I not only called him for that reason but too, for his great reviews and high rating. My list of properties, if I remember correctly, totaled 18. With careful and thoughtful advice and guidance, with information only Mike could provide, I decided to cull some of the properties from my list. Here are just a couple of examples why. When doing my searches I knew the names of the towns I was interested in and where I would like to live. Having spent time in these areas I had a reference for them. But that didn't mean I knew the areas. One home I chose was very far out in the countryside. Appealing yes. Until all of the environmental concerns of having a place in Maine in the winter are brought to ones attention. And when that romantic idea of a place has a septic system and well water, and lots of other maintenance issues, all of which were not appealing, the romance wears off pretty quick. This happened a couple of times. Another example was of a really great looking home, which has a serious asbestos issue that clearly was not visible to me. Over the course of two days, Mike patiently drove me all over the midcoast from Wiscasset to Belfast. Lots of great conversation and advice took place during those drives. With his help and direction from finding a lender, to an inspector, to selecting a caretaker, once the home was mine, Mike provided help and expertise with thoughtfulness and no pressure. On a personal level he has a very easy going, but worldly, personality, that was very comforting at certain moments along the way. Especially right before the proposed closing date, when there was a slight glitch on the sellers' end, that could have postponed the closing. Mike and the sellers worked together to make everything right. The excitement has not yet worn off. Only a week ago today, I was at the closing table with Mike. I am so grateful for his help in helping me, realize my dream, of having a place in Maine. Now if only I can figure out how to spend more time up there! Where I know that I will be honored to have Mike and his lovely wife be guests at my table.
- 11/06/2015 - bdupnick67 Bought a home in 2015 in Thomaston, ME 04861.Mike Garrigan is not only a consummate professional, hardworking and knowledgeable real estate agent, but he is also a genuinely nice person. Our experience purchasing a home in Maine could not have been more positive from start to finish, and we have Mike to thank for this. Initially, we expressed interest in a property listed on Zillow, and although Mike was not the listing agent, his response was timely; and when the property came under agreement before we had a chance to see it, Mike agreed to show us the property and meet with us to discuss the type of property we hoped to find. Two weeks later, we met again to see the home that would become ours. Throughout this process, Mike responded to any questions we had, big or small. As city folks from away Mikes knowledge of the local professionals from well water and septic inspections to closing agent proved invaluable. We feel incredibly fortunate that Mike was the agent who responded to our initial query on Zillow.
- 01/13/2016 - zuser2 Bought a home in 2016.Foremost, Mike is a professional in every sense of the term. He is very knowledgeable about housing construction and systems, the nuances of the various communities and political jurisdictions which within he practices, current market trends, and real estate values, and he is experienced with local professionals supporting the processes of the home inspection, insurance, mortgage procurement, title, and closing services. Mike provided excellent liaison with sellers' realtors, scheduling viewings, providing research into potential listings after the first discovery of buyer's goals and objectives in acquiring a new home. Although the internet is hugely helpful in reviewing listed properties, Mike's local knowledge is invaluable in identifying pros and cons to specific homes and in identifying others that were occasionally overlooked via internet searches. Mike is particularly diligent in follow through with the smallest details and patient with the buyer's decision making the process in choosing the right home. Mike worked with us over a three year period. Also, Mike is an excellent strategist in assisting the buyer to shape an offer that is competitive and acceptable to the owner. Additionally, we found Mike to be responsive and forthright when asked for his opinion regarding an issue or concern regarding a particular property or steps in the procurement process. Bottom Line is Mike was an invaluable asset to us in our search and procurement of our new home in St. George, Maine.
- 06/23/2016 - zuser Bought a home in 2016 in Willis Corners, Thomaston, ME 04861.I highly recommend Mike Garrigan as a realtor. He was great at guiding us through the listing and selling process. He was very professional and helpful throughout all of the stages of selling. Thanks, Mike!!
- 07/24/2016 - a catalno Sold a Single Family home in 2016 in South Thomaston, ME.Mike is very personable, yet professional. He can quickly assess the market and customize your search. He offers an extraordinary turn around to questions and requests. Mike has a great deal of local knowledge and can help you find experts such as inspectors, contractors, etc. We had a superior experience with Mike
- 08/15/2016 - dtuck11 Bought a Single Family home in 2016 in Saint George, ME.I enjoyed working with Mike very much. His expertise in the local market is extensive. Most of all, what made Mike stand out is his customer service. Mike was very responsive to every question I had. His attention to detailed gave me a piece of mind that I had an expert on my side looking out for my interests. His communication skills are superior and he tailors them to meet my needs. I would gladly recommend Mike to anyone.
- 08/18/2016 - jeffreyallis Bought and sold a Condo home in 2016 in Rockport, ME.First and foremost, Mike is a wonderful person and agent. We couldn't have asked for a better person to help us sell our large home as well as purchase something that fit our needs. Mike is extremely professional and knowledgeable in his field. He is very familiar with the area and will answer any and all of your questions. Mike was always quick to address any and all of our questions and inquiries which was very important to me. When there was a little hiccup with our closing, Mike always kept us up to date on any issues or changes. During this whole process, he was always an advocate for us; having our best interests in mind. I would highly recommend Mike whether you're buying or selling a home.
- 08/19/2016 - valerie allis Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2016 in Thomaston, ME.Mike was great. He has great knowledge of the area we are interested in, was able to get us to see a house that matched our tight schedule and since we have made no decision yet, Mike is extremely patient with us. He keeps us informed without pressuring us.
- 08/21/2016 - user89591921 Showed home in 2016 in Cushing, ME.Mike was more than excellent. If I had to describe him in one word it would be "communicator". It showed in his relationship with me, potential buyers, and realtors representing buyers. I got four offers within a month of his taking over the listing (I had it with another realtor for a year with no success) and he successfully got the property sold at higher than the listed price. I felt fully and continuously informed of what was going on. Mike took the time with me to learn the details of my property so as to prevent any misunderstanding in the sales process and to come up with a realistic asking price. Note that Mike is a full-time realtor and not a part-timer. I learned that this is important when selecting a realtor. I always got prompt responses with phone, text, or emails.
- 11/05/2016 - harod Sold a Single Family home in 2016 in Owls Head, ME.I highly recommend using Mike to sell your home. He is a very good agent and will ensure the smoothest transaction for everyone involved. He will do all the right things and make you feel at ease the entire way.
- 12/16/2016 - hynes blake Sold a home in 2016We found that Mike responded honestly to our questions and request for advice, even when he probably knew it was not what we wanted to hear. For us, this was critical. Another strong quality was his understanding of who we were as buyers, realizing after a few showings that we were more interested in the property and location, those things we couldn't change, and less concerned about the details of the house, which he realized with our skills and background were of less concern. His calm and relaxed manner, along with his experience and knowledge was incredibly important in the success of our year+ long journey to owning our little slice of heaven!
- 05/10/2017 - awggilbert Bought a home in 2017.As our real estate agent, Mike Garrigan was knowledgeable, hardworking and exceedingly thorough. He has an engaging personality which we appreciated during his representation of us. My husband and I are happy to recommend him. Zella Walker
