Relocating from Vermont
"Thank you so very much for all of your help! You have been more than attentive and exceedingly thorough. I promise if we ever do end up in the market, we will use your services! I have never received such good service. Feel free to use me as a reference if you might ever require it, but quite honestly, I doubt you will ever need any assistance seeing how well you service clients."

"We happened upon John while searching online MLS listings. He was quick to respond to our requests, continually accommodated viewings around our schedule, and was always available to answer our questions with sincerity. His extensive knowledge and competence in Maine real estate is a vital asset to anyone looking to buy/sell a home. John was the best part of our home buying experience."

Relocating/Retiring to Maine
"Patience and persistence are two traits you possess that made my twelve month search for my retirement house in Maine a reality. Had it not been for a winning attitude, viewing after viewing with a smile and objective feedback, I would not have bothered making 4 trips in 12 months from Texas to Maine in order to find my awesome 1840's colonial in Bath. Mid-coast Maine could not have a better ambassador for those of us "from away" seeking a long-term Maine life experience. You made me feel as if I belonged, and I am graciously indebted for guiding me through a 28-year dream. "

John made our first home buying process seem easy. His enthusiasm, energy and involvement all led to us ending up with the best possible house we could have bought. Early on in our search process we became set on a house that was a short sale. Because Jordi and I were new to the home market we were unsure how a short sale would work, and whether our offer on the house would go anywhere. John arranged a meeting with ourselves and the listing agent to discuss the probability and logistics around our offer. This effort was much appreciated, and really solidified the fact that we were working with the right real estate agent. He listened to our concerns, thoughts, and needs- and made sure that they were addressed even though the situation was out of his control.
We continued our house search, and ended up with the perfect house for us, in the best location. John led us through our counter offers, and we ended up getting a great price! Jordi and I could not be happier- and are excited for the many, many years to come in our new home.

I have known John Herrigel since we were both young children growing up together in Maine during the summer time. We have always had a close friendship because John is so caring and will go out of his way to make things work out.
When it was time for my fiancé and me to buy a house we were not sure if we should use a realtor or not. I was also worried about working with a close friend, so as not to mix a friendship with business. After talking casually with John about the different ways to purchase a house, Katrina and I decided that the best bet was to use someone we knew had our interests in mind and would help us though every step of the process. John is that person! He showed us lots of houses over those 8 months, sent us new listings, and talked with other agents making our lives much easier. We never had to call anyone to go visit a house, and our closing was done fast and smoothly thanks to John’s hard work.
John has been in the real estate business for a number of years now and knows the best building inspector to get, where the good deals are, and is always just a phone call away. Even after helping someone purchase a house, John still stays in contact with them and a lot of his friends in Maine are past clients. I can honestly say there is no one else out there with as good personal skills, friendliness and a upbeat attitude as John Herrigel.

Retiring/Relocating to Maine
"We were looking to relocate to mid-coast Maine for our later years. We contacted John and told him the type of house and amenities we wanted. Without bothering us on many properties, he focused on our needs and each property he recommended was reasonable to investigate. He then found us the perfect one.”

“Dedication and professionalism are two hallmarks of a quality real estate agent. With John, we got not only a dedicated professional, but a person of exceptional character with a genuine interest in finding us the right home. As first time buyers, we asked a lot of questions and grappled with indecision. In the end, because of John’s patience, guidance, and eagerness to help us succeed, we found a wonderful home that we know we’ll be happy in for many years to come. Thank you John!”
