His deep expertise in the real estate market proved to be instrumental in determining a competitive and strategic selling price, ensuring that our home sold quickly and without any major issues.

John was highly involved in every aspect of the sale, going above and beyond to ensure no detail was overlooked. He kept us informed every step of the way, providing valuable insights and guidance that made the entire process much easier to navigate.

“John is attentive and responsive in all aspects of buying or selling property. He was forthright in working with us to set goals on how to maximize value when selling our home. When buying our new home John never wavered in confidence and was committed to putting my family into our dream neighborhood. Not giving John a chance when buying or selling local property is the only risk you will take in the evolving market!”
Seller, Portland
“John "Mr. Responsive" Hayes was a pleasure to work with. From the nickname I have just dubbed him, it's pretty clear that he is great at communicating. As a first-time home buyer, this was a comfort to me. There were many times when I would reach out with an insane question and he would be there, ready to respond and calm me down. John was very active from the first day we started working together- sending me home options he thought that I would be interested in. When it came time for showings, John was very willing to have a flexible schedule, even doing showings on Sundays! This was amazing as I work M-F. When it came time to work quickly and efficiently to get in offers, John was all over that too. He was speedy with this and helped me to understand the process even at fast paced times. One last skill that I will share is that John has a great ability to be honest. Knowing that John would be honest with me about a worry or an issue with a home, or even if the pricing was off, made me feel more secure in moving forward with the places that I put in offers. This helped me trust him as someone who would be an advocate for me and made me feel like I wasn't just another client. I will 100% be recommending John to friends and family for all of their home buying and selling needs. Thanks for the hard work, John!”

“Working with John was excellent from start to finish. He is reliable, knowledgeable, and patient. I would work with him again in the future and would recommend him to friends and family. Selling a house is a big deal. I put my trust in John and it paid off tenfold. Thank you, John!”

“John was super helpful in helping us sell our home in Windham! He gave us houses to compare pricing on and while providing advice, was never too pushy on the decisions and let us make the final call. I would highly recommend John and would not hesitate to work with him again.”
Seller, Windham
“We feel incredibly lucky to have had John as our realtor throughout the process of moving to Maine from out-of-state. He found us our dream home off-market and we would've never gotten such a great deal had it not been for his networking and local connections. We would highly recommend him for anyone looking to find a home in Maine.”
Buyer, Scarborough
“John was amazing. My husband and I are first-time home buyers and we had no idea what to do and where to start. John walked us through every step and found some fabulous houses for us. We found a great house and afterward, John helped us through all the paperwork. We could not be happier with our first home or with John. He will be our first call if we ever need to move again.”
Buyer, Auburn
“We have completed 3 real estate purchases with John in the last year and he sold our house at top market value last summer. John is very punctual, professional, knowledgeable and has helped us negotiate in our favor multiple times. He goes the extra mile to research and has a great eye for value which allows him to guide us to make the right decisions for ourselves. I would recommend John to any of my friends and family without a doubt that they will end up with the perfect property for them. We have worked with other real estate agents in the past but none of them compare to John.”
Buyer & Seller, Portland
“John Hayes is a very talented and professional real estate agent. Owning a multi-family in the greater Portland area and living out of state provides challenges when renting apartments. We have been working with John for over a year and three successful rentals. Each time John has been meticulous with finding suitable tenants, keeping us informed, completing all of the necessary vetting and subsequent paperwork. I wholeheartedly recommend John for all of your real estate needs. He is a pleasure to work with!”
