Our property was unique and a little complicated. We understood the value of our home and what it had taken to make it "bomb proof", efficient and state-of-the-art, yet retain the charming comfort of a pre-1850 farmhouse. Kim McManus and her team of professionals, from listing to closing, recognized this and went far beyond what a less qualified, not as knowledgeable or experienced agent might have attempted. Not only did she imaginatively market our unusual property, she found perfect buyers who appreciated and embraced the turnkey possibilities they now own. Kim also made sure we found our new forever home, ideally located, within our budget and meeting all our target comfort goals for many years to come.
Always professional, always with a sincere and gracious smile that marked a positive and productive work ethic, our home sale and subsequent new purchase experience with Kim McManus and Realty One Group-Compass has set the bar high and left a lasting impression as to how the industry should truly present itself.

What a fantastic experience! Kims knowledge of the market was spot on. We listed, had multiple offers and closed within days. She communicated, coached and researches every aspect of my sale. WOW!!! is what comes to mind. I would be crazy to say Kim is not a true professional that constantly stays on task, but treats you like a friend and her only client, even though she is constantly dealing with others! Truly grateful and blessed by my agent and when l recommend her she will be referred as a friend!
I have known people who had worked with Kim so when it came to choosing a realtor to work with I had no hesitation in reaching out to Kim. I am so impressed with her knowledge, her expertise, and her professionalism. Communication is important to me and Kim communicated with me every step of the way. At this point, I would not want to work with anyone except Kim McMannus! 5 stars all the way around!
I wrote a brief review as too how much of an asset Kim was to my wife and I during the sale of our home in Hartford, ME. But Kim's true expertise as a realtor shone through during our purchase of our new home in Greenwood, ME.
To say that we as purchasers and Kim as a realtor experienced a rocky road right up to closing and beyond of our Greenwood home would be an understatement!
The entire deal of the sale of our home in Hartford plus the purchase of our new place in Greenwood was teetering on the tailgate of going south. Kim worked hand-in-hand with the title company representing the buyers of our home, their title company plus their banking institution to broker the deal to completion successfully to all interested parties concerned. I simply cannot speak highly enough about Kim. Should you be in the market to buy or sell a home call her! I am certain she will work as hard for you as she did for us
Kim is the most exceptional agent ever: I live 6 hours away and she went so far above and beyond for me it brings me to tears of happiness! She is an excellent human being and agent. I feel if you don't use her it is your loss. Since I was out of state, it was a whole new learning curve for purchasing out of state. Kim is professional, kind, and so quick to respond with all my inane questions and concerns. Not one time did she ever make me feel that I was not her only client. She is the best agent ever, and with all my experiences in purchasing 4 homes, this is the best. I will never buy in Maine unless she is my agent, I don't think anyone else can do better than she.

While skiing with a friend this past March I mentioned that my wife and I were going to sell our home come Spring. My ski buddy asked me if I had an realtor lined up yet. I replied that we did but we are not comfortable with her. My fellow skier told me to do myself a favor and call Kim. I took my friends advice and made the call.
When my wife and I first met Kim she immediately put us at ease. Kim came across as warm, friendly, informed, knowledgeable, and professional. Kim promised my wife and I three important things. First: Kim told us that she would do everything in her power to sell our home. Secondly Kim told us that she would be supportive and united with us every step of the way. And lastly that she would communicate everything she knew about the progress of the proceeding of the sale of our home with us. Kim honored all three of those promises and much much more!
Our home in Hartford was going to be a challenge to sell and we all knew it. Kim's marketing skill are superb and she immediately put them into motion. Right out of the gate Kim engaged the expertise of an excellent photographer and the two of them did magic with their abilities to portray and highlight all the work that had been put into restoring a nearly 200 year old post and beam house from the ground up into the 21st century.
I could go on-an-on about all the hard work Kim put into the sale of our house. At every step of the equation Kim was there for us. She answered all of our questions returned all of our calls and made a stressful situation allot smoother of a ride.
In conclusion I can honestly say: if you are in the market to either buy and or sale a house do yourself a favor and call Kim! On a scale of 1 -10 Kim rates 100! We simply cannot speak highly enough about her.
Kim was absolutely amazing to work with. She was always punctual, prepared and professional. As a FTHB we had so many questions and no idea what we were doing. Kim helped eased all the anxiety by explaining things and being patient with us making sure we understood. She was always quick to reply to any questions we had and was diligent in following up with offers. We had a lot of fun looking at homes and she never made us feel rushed or pressured to make a decision but was available to help us make the best choices based on our budget and our needs, wants and things to avoid. She was optimistic and supportive on the journey but also realistic about the current market which made it a lot easier to handle any bad news and move on to the next house. In the end, we found the perfect home for us and have been moved in for a few weeks now. We are so grateful to have had such a fantastic agent. I can not recommend her enough, especially if you are nervous about jumping into the house hunting market for the first time. She will take good care of you and make the entire process from start to finish as efficient and successful as possible!
We wouldnt have dreamed of working with anyone but Kim to purchase our new home. This is our third time working with her. We previously bought and sold property with her. She is always professional and she explains everything so well you know exactly what is going on throughout the process. She ensures you know all your options good or bad in order to make the most informed decisions. She communicates extremely well and is easy to work with. We would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling in the area. There simply is no one better.
I'm am pleased to have Kim she took care of everything . I didn't have 2 worry about a thing . If someone asked me how do u know that is a good realitor.Kim is patient,kind . Willing 2 solve any problems that come up.
Kim sold a pc of property for us a few years ago< so when we were ready to sell another pc., Kim was the Agent to call . she is fun ,prompt, and knowledgeable about real estate> She made everything flow smoothly and flawlessly ,thank you Kim. We appreciate it
You love what you do Kim and you do it with a heart. Detailed with professional boundaries of course! Knowledgable and open to listen. Patient and kindness is you. Consideration of people of color (Black) with an accent is not always obvious in Maine, but you made it. Highly recommend you!
From our initial beginning throughout the entire selling process, Kim McManus worked tirelessly and professionally with us. Her approach & demeanor are Excellent! She understood our needs, protected them and went way beyond & then some to help us achieve our goals. Honest, keeps it real, reliable, professional and will definitely use her services again..she's number 1 for a reason!
Having dealt with many different agents over the years, I can say without a doubt that Kim is the most responsive and professional. Throughout the process of my buying a seasonal cabin in Maine, she responded to every call, text, and email with upbeat alacrity. She is a consummate professional and a credit to realtors everywhere. I can recommend her without reservation. I am truly grateful that my aunt and uncle recommended her to me. They were just as pleased with her work as I am. Thank you, Kim McManus.
My primary impression of Kim was that she was direct providing feedback to us as clients. She wanted us to be buy a house, but mostly she wanted us to buy the house we wanted. She wanted feedback on the houses she found for us to look at and listened intently to that feedback. She was direct to us as well with her feedback on our impressions. In the end we were successful in spite of ourselves because of her guidance. She was unique in my experience with realtors by showing us homes that were more at the median of our price range than pushing the limits. This was refreshingly effective at keeping us focused resulting in a pleasant and fruitful buying experience.
I had a wonderful experience with Kim! With no doubt, I can say that working with Kim, exceeded my expectations. Very helpful through the whole process. I am grateful to meet Kim and for having the opportunity to work with her, because as a 1st time home buyer, I was learning through the process and she made me feel at ease. I felt like I was being taken care of. Thank you Kim!!!!

Kim will work with you to make your desires a reality. Kim is also well versed at dealing with other real estate agents. When there were questions, or concerns, Kim was patient and worked through some tough situations without breaking a sweat. Her cool, calm mindset kept our anxiety low and gave us the confidence we needed get the job done and she did! Kim's responsiveness was incredible. If she didnt pick up, she always called back no longer than 5 minutes later, even if I contacted her off from normal business hours. Our family and I will continue to seek her services in the future for both our selling and purchasing needs.
Kim was extremely knowledgeable in the market. My house went up for sale in late October and we closed in February. She kept me informed on every aspect of the selling practices. I would highly recommend her talents and would have her as my realtor in future transactions.
When my wife and I decided to downsize, Kim and her team were ready to help. She had our house ready to go and after a short time on the market had buyers lined up! She then assisted in getting us into our new home as well. Such a seamless transition with little stress. Thank you Kim
Kim was a lucky find for us. We knew no one in the area and had no reference to help us find a realtor. We were so pleased with how friendly Kim was to work with. She went above and beyond taking my husband literally all over Maine and spending double the time at each stop so he could FaceTime with me as he walked through. Her ability to connect with the sellers realtor made coordinating things so easy. It was as smooth as such a chaotic time can be. Thanks Kim!
Kim did great advertising our home, she also utilized a photographer that captured the best parts of our previous home and emphasized the feel of the land area. Our home sold quickly and the negotiations were smooth and communicated timely on Kims behalf.
My wife and I found Kim to be a dedicated professional; timely and helpful in the purchase of our new home. She was always available for home showings in a reasonable amount of time. Kim is the ultimate professional, and is knowledgeable about all the details of home buying. She went over and above what was required to support us in the decision making process and always gave us reasonable and experienced advice. I would highly recommend using Kim for purchasing your next home.
My husband and I loved working with Kim! She Is the ultimate professional and one gets the sense that she truly loves her job. She was available to look at properties in a reasonable amount of time, returned calls quickly. She was a wonderful guide through the home buying process, for both experienced and inexperienced customers, always keeping her sense of humor and her cool, no matter the level of stress. Though buying a home can be stressful, Kim was knowledgeable about all aspects of real estate purchase, we had a great confidence in her abilities. We can highly recommend her to represent you!
Kim was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process! Always willing to work around my schedule, she or another member of her team were always ready at what seemed like the drop of a hat. I will recommend Kim to anyone and everyone looking to buy a home!
Kim went above and beyond for me with the sale of my home. Kim had a great marketing plan to sell. She kept me informed along the way. I was never left wondering what the next steps were as she was proactive with updating me. She is a true professional who was passion for her work. Kims commitment to selling my home was displayed. I highly recommend Kim to anyone looking to buy or sell. Thank you Kim!
My concern with selling my house was the Sabbath (Saturday) in my religion I'm not supposed to work or have anyone work for me. I explained this to Kim and she was understanding and helpt me honor Sabbath by not having any showings on that day. I was so appreciative! I also loved that she was always willing to talk and answer my questions.
Kim was incredibly helpful through the process of purchasing my first home. She helped me through my anxieties in the process. She was knowledgable and answered my many questions. She was also flexible with scheduling. I am now in a home better fit for me than I could have imagined! Many thanks to Kim and her team!
Ive been working with Kim for the past 2 years and she has been amazing! Very accommodating with my work schedule and always made time to get me in to look at homes. When an offer on one house fell through, she immediately got me in the same day to look at the house I ended up buying. She was knowledgeable and super helpful through the entire process. I would highly recommend Kim to anyone looking to buy a new home!
Kim is an extremely hard worker and a great negotiator. She was available night and day to answer any questions. She kept us updated on all the offers and explained them to us. Highly recommended.
Kim is the best - she was so generous with her time and willing to travel all over for us. She made looking for a home such a joy for two years! Her work for us was detail oriented and she served as a great coach when we were feeling unsure of the market. She had the perfect demeanor and work ethic for a successful transaction as well. We are so grateful she was our realtor. Thank you, Kim, for your guidance, your great work, and for sticking with us!!!!!
My husband and I were so grateful for Kim's help while navigating our first home-buying experience. She walked us through everything, was always available, and made it fun for us. We trust her, appreciated her honesty, and felt that she was invested in our success and happiness in purchasing our home. She has a great personality, which made the whole process more relaxed and fun for us, and we will definitely work with her in the future and recommend her to our friends and family!
Kim was excellent to work with. Kim has great market knowledge and experience; Kim answered and covered every question I had. Kim helped me with receiving the best offer in today's market and I am a happy seller.
I am so happy I bought my new home through Kim and her realtor team. Kim was vey responsive to looking at new home listings, until I found the perfect home that suits me best. Kim made the buying (and selling) process enjoyable, easy and flawless. Thank you Kim for finding me the perfect home.
Kim helped us sell our house of 55 years. She was helpful and knowledgeable. She was so patient with the many questions we had! She was efficient and professional but also personable. She was an outstanding advocate for our family and we highly recommend her.
My wife and I entered the home buying process knowing NOTHING and Kim did an incredible job helping us make everything go really smoothly! She kept us up to date on area houses that fit our criteria and she provided valuable insights that helped us secure a house in what I think might be record time. Thank you so much, Kim!
Kim McManus was professional and well experience in the real estate business. She advised us with great info on what the market was doing and what would be best for marketing our home. Which was right on and worked out perfect . We can't thank her enough for her hard work and also her great sense of humor.
It took us 3 years to find the right fit for our waterfront camp dream! Kim was patient and informative. Her knowledge and sense of humor made every showing fun. Despite the fact that our budget was limited, Kim treated us like we were VIP clients, as Im sure she does with everyone. A pleasure every step of the way.
The entire process of selling our home with Kim was so smooth. She was able to give us preliminary numbers quickly, list quickly and for us the most stressful part was staging and showing and she was there with her expert design ideas and know how.
Kim McManus was amazing to work with. She made the process of selling and then buying so simple and stress-free. Kim is extremely professional and an expert in the field of real estate. We would not hesitate to give her our highest recommendation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Kim McManus is the best! In having to deal with the listing and selling of an estate home, Kim was extremely respectful of our loss from the moment she was contacted right through the day of the closing. Kim is knowledgeable of the process from beginning to end and is quick to get an answer if there are any questions. Kim went above and beyond to get the home listed and sold (even enlisted lawn mowing services for a last minute mow). The photos for the listing were exceptional. She was informative at every step, especially in the showing of the property and the multiple offers that were submitted. Kim put all the facts and possibilities out there for an informed and confident decision to be made. HIGHLY recommend Kim!!
When we decided to sell our home and began researching agents in our area, there was no doubt in our minds that Kim was the right real estate agent for us. From the beginning, Kims use of technology made the process so streamlined and simple and easy to understand. Kims professionalism, communication, and knowledge of the market was first-rate. Kim made us feel as though she was working on our behalf 24/7 and took the stress out of selling our home. Kim earns our highest appreciation and recommendation.
Kim worked with us while she was out of town, and on a short timeline (i.e., initial contact about the house on a Saturday, offers due the next evening). She was knowledgeable, supportive, and communicative throughout the process, from the initial request for viewing through to final closing, and beyond. Her assessment of the market was accurate, as was her advice on how to proceed through negotiations. Kim is a skilled realtor for the local market, and we recommend her wholeheartedly.
This is the second time I had worked with Kim, but this time on an investment property. She is incredibly organized, stays on top of deadlines, and ALWAYS available. She also knows when and when not to ask for certain items, her negotiation skills are unmatched and proved helpful in this deal!
Kim is overall one of the best realtors I have ever worked with!
