Testimonials

After interviewing three other very competent Agents, we ultimately landed with Ann Castonguay of Sprague and Curtis and are so grateful for it. Ann brought the exact mix of expertise in the field, a very impressive local knowledge of the area, and a tenacity/work ethic beyond expectations. She met all of our needs as a the seller. We are so happy with the result and it is largely due to Ann's guidance and professionalism. We can't recommend her enough.

A Five-Star Experience—And Then Some! My wife and I have worked with professionals from all walks of life, and I can confidently say that Ann Castonguay is, without a doubt, Maine’s best Realtor. If we could give her more than five stars, we would—without hesitation. We recently made the decision to sell our lakefront property, nestled on 26 stunning acres. This was more than just land—it was part of our story. Entrusting someone with that kind of sale required more than a license and a smile. We needed someone with insight, professionalism, and heart. Enter Ann. From the moment we met her, Ann brought a calm, confident presence that immediately reassured us we were in excellent hands. She dove deep into the details of our property—meticulously researching its features, location, and value. Determining a price point for a unique piece of land like ours is no small feat, but Ann’s strategic market insight helped us land on a price that proved to be right on target. What truly set Ann apart was her ability to articulate the essence of our property. The listing description she crafted was nothing short of masterful. In fact, the buyer told us at closing, “That description is what caught my eye. I just had to see it—and it was exactly as you described. I am going to copy and frame that desciption and post it one the entrance wall of our home for everyone to see that we found our dream property.” That speaks volumes. And the result? We listed in February—and by June, the deal was done. We had high standards. Our previous realtor had retired, and we weren’t sure we’d ever find someone with her same level of tenacity, creativity, and professionalism. Thankfully, we found all of that—and more—in Ann. She exceeded every expectation. To anyone in Maine who is thinking of buying or selling real estate: Hire Ann Castonguay. She’s a rare combination of deep local knowledge, honest counsel, strategic thinking, and personal integrity. She didn’t just represent us—she advocated for us. And for that, we’re not just grateful—we're loyal clients for life. Thank you, Ann. You are our Maine Realtor—for life. Martin and Walida Smith

Professional, on point, thorough and timely.

We found Ann was indispensable in helping us sell our house. She was very knowledgeable in advising us on the setting the price and she had a real feel of what buyers are looking for. She also was extremely helpful in keeping the deal going and she also had the connections to help us find people to take care of those inevitable "last minute" things. We were very happy.

I feel very lucky to have Ann as my realtor. She has sold both of my family houses ! Ann always had time to talk to me, answered my questions promptly, and gave me feedback when needed. A true professional.

We reached out to Ann because we saw her work in a past real estate transaction where she represented the sellers to a house we purchased. We noticed her professionalism then and she showed us the same quality as we sold our camp in 2024. She is wonderful, knowledgable and caring. Thank you Ann. You were terrific in guiding us through the process. We highly recommend anyone too work with Ann Castonguay.

Ann made our experience selling our home easy and enjoyable. Her professionalism and expertise helped find a buyer within three days. We could not have found a better Real-estate agent to represent us. We highly recommend Ann for your Real-estate needs. Sincerely, Ray Ramirez & Janice Michaud

Ann did a wonderful job from A-Z. She was very responsive, cheerful and always kept us up to date on developments.

It was a pleasure to work with Ann as we prepared to put our condo on the market. She provided excellent advice in helping us stage our home and communicated regularly with us after showings and open houses. Ann has a great knowledge of the Central Maine housing market and provided us with the highest level of professional service. She succeeded in bringing us multiple offers at a time when high interest rates have stalled the housing market. We strongly recommend Ann to anyone looking for a real estate agent. She is the BEST!

Ann was wonderful to work with! Very friendly and helpful, quick to answer all my questions.

Ann has been my realtor on more than one occasion, I wouldn’t have anyone else to help me sell my property/home!! Highly recommended!

I house-hunted for over a year in a difficult market and Ann was extremely patient and helpful throughout. She always listened to my opinions on properties and negotiation terms but spoke up when she had an important counterpoint based on her experience. She was responsive by email, calls, and texts, especially for important paperwork. I'm spending my first winter in the new house and grateful every day that this was the one. Thank you, Ann!

I needed to sell my late father's house from the other side of the country. Ann not only made this possible, but as easy as possible, with her deep knowledge and experience, her consistent communication and attention to detail, and her genuine concern and support for our family and situation. She was always there for us, and I would recommend her to anyone. - Cynthia Ward

Ann is by far the kindest and most knowledgeable realtor I have had the pleasure of working with. She made the entire process effortless! If you are searching for a realtor that takes care of you like family, look no further!

First off, I am one tough customer, and knowing this, Ann Castonguay rose to challenge in helping me secure my first home. Ann's knowledge of the market, and positivity, were great assets in our long house hunting adventure. I was definitely looking for a needle in a hay stack, but Ann never pressured me and provided guidance when requested. When we finally had an offer accepted, Ann helped me navigate the purchasing process. Who was responsible for what information and what forms I needed? There were many moments when I got nervous and wasn't sure, Ann was right there to help. Phone calls, text messages, emails; Ann was positive and patient through it all. Now, I have the house that fits me just right. I would recommend Ann to anyone who, like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, needs help finding a home that fits just right. Thank you Ann!

We couldn't have been happier about our experience with Ann. She walked us through many scenarios as our offers came in and guided us to a happy conclusion. We were especially happy with how she stayed in contact with us, often calling just to check in to be sure we weren't having concerns. Thank you Ann! - Michele and Will

Ann was incredibly patient with us (admittedly high-maintenance, first-time Maine sellers). She explained the nuances to us, helped us set our pricing, and was communicative. Also, she was a lovely tour host and generated lots of interest! We appreciated Ann’s approach and dedication to our real estate process (and success!)

Ann is amazing honest and straight forward. She knew the value of the house and the current market. With the advertising she was able to do the house was sold almost immediately. Her experience was invaluable to making this stressful time much easier to get through. Thank You very much for everything Ann and will definitely refer anybody in the housing market to you.

Ann was incredible to work with. She provided detailed information and communicated clearly and timely. She was over the top friendly and kind and accommodating. My only regret is doing the paperwork remotely and not having the chance to meet and thank Ann in person. I would not hesitate to recommend her!

We had an excellent experience selling our Elm Street property. From listing to closing everything went smoothly Ann was available to answer my questions. My husband always handled all our past real estate business however since his stroke related cognitive issues I have had to step up and take the lead in this sale transaction which has been new territory for me Thank you Ann for your guidance

Thank you so much for your help with buying our waterfront camp. That's my husband's (Danny) retirement dream to have a house by the water. We both enjoy healthy hobbies like fishing and kayaking. You made the process simple and easy to understand. You even expedited the process by coordinating with our lender. We had a little problem with the appraisal but with your expertise in dealing with the buyer/seller you were able to resolve it and we were able to close on time. Ann, we thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts and we wish your continued success in your future transactions.

Communication is so important throughout this process, and Ann is by far the best. She a great listener and does what she says she will do, I never wondered where things stood! Such important qualities in a business professional, and I could not be happier with how my sale went.

We enjoyed working with Ann. She was patient, listened tentatively to what we were looking for and helped us find a beautiful home in a great area. We Would highly recommend her and hope to work with her again in the future.

Ann is prompt, efficient, and gets results! I very much enjoyed working with her and will choose her again.

Ann. Thank you so much for all of your support and help in the selling of my house. You made this a painless and seamless transaction. Your knowledge and expertise made this so easy. I would highly recommend you to anyone buying or selling a property in this area.

Ann provided excellent customer service. She responded quickly and professionally to requests for information. I found Ann very helpful throughout the property buying process.

We contacted Ann in regards to a parcel of land that was for sale. We ended up making a full offer on the land, the deal was excepted and it was as seamless as it gets. Working with you and we had an attorney write up necessary paperwork and we close within a week. I highly recommend Ann for any of your future needs, as it relates to real estate.

Promptly returns phone calls. Gives great advice. Kept me on an even keel. Second house she has sold for me since 12/19. I highly recommend her to friends.

Selling our Maine house after 23 summers was very scary, especially since me and my husband are in our 80's with poor memories and no computer skills; however, we were lucky to get Ann Castonguay to help us through it all. She calmed us down, kept us informed, assured us that things were going well, answered questions we didn't even know we had and her calm demeanor made the whole experience almost pleasant. We're sure glad we had her and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.

I was so glad that Ann Castonguay was my realtor for she loved my house and was able to share her enthusiasm with any potential buyer. Ann was supportive, always kept me updated, and available for any questions I had. Selling a house is not easy and Ann was always there for me.

Ann was so helpful in our first home buying experience! We are so grateful for all she has done. She made the process smooth and always was there to answer any questions we had and gave us outstanding support! Thank you so much.

Ann did an exceptional job for us. She answered every question we had, referred us to a surveyor and just helped us every step of the way. Being former Maine residents who now live out of state, we no longer know who to call there, and Ann really stepped up. We greatly appreciate Ann and highly recommend her.

Buying a home in this market is a challenging experience, given the high demand and low inventories. During this transaction, Ann's guidance and advise was indispensable. At each step of the negotiation process, Ann was able to "read the tea leaves" so that our offer and counter-offers were pitch perfect. Her past experiences with our lender was also indispensable for getting our financing together in record time. I would recommend Ann to any buyer or seller in this market, as her local knowledge and professional experience made this transaction a win-win for all parties involved.

I couldn’t say enough about how easy it was to work with Ann. She was thorough and had all our questions answered promptly. Ann was also very willing to accommodate our busy schedule and made our purchase smooth and easy. I highly recommend Ann to help navigate a purchase, her knowledge and professionalism gave us confidence in the purchase of our property.

Ann was always available and able to answer our questions. We appreciate her knowledge and her time. We are working with her now for the third transaction!

Very easy to work with and attentive and available..

Ann has been my realtor for a few years now she is the best hands down

Very professional. When I had a question she would answer it. If I called and I didn't get her she would get right back with me. She was a pleasure to work with.

It was excellent for sure. Our daughter researched who would be a good fit for us, and we picked Ann. She was there for us to answer every question that we had anytime of the day or night. She was professional and patient and kind. Her pictures she took of our home really helped a lot for showings We highly recommend her. Thank you Ann for everything!

"Ann was great. She stayed with me even when I didn't know what kind of house I was looking for. In the end she helped me buy exactly what I wanted."

"She went above and beyond!"

"Ann is an excellent partner who worked very hard to support our home search, and also provided insights and suggestions that helped us solve problems as they arose. She was always available and accommodated our scheduling needs without issue. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have worked with her."

Very professional and knowledgeable, helped us set realistic expectations. Guided us through a smooth close.

Ann was great to work with. Although we were only selling a small house lot she aggressively marketed the property and always had time for us. Strongly recommend.

Ann is the best. She is efficient, detail oriented and a very nice person to work with. She stays in touch and makes the whole process of selling as easy as possible! Thank you Ann!

I have worked with Ann twice before, so when we decided to move back to Maine I didn't even have to think about who to call to find our new home. She is very kind and helpful to make the home buying process easier.
