Five out of five stars is still not enough. 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! Kim’s 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 very 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!

Luckily, Kim reached out to us to let us know about the land on 320 Gibbs Mill Road. She is proactive, extremely knowledgeable of the market and kind. I would highly recommend her to my family, friends and clients. Truly exceptional! Thank you. Kim!

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 Rusty and Kathryn

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 very warm, friendly, informed, knowledgeable, and professional. Kim promised my wife and I three very 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 very 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. Rusty Gaynor and Kathryn Kelly

kim was very professional, very knowledgeable. easy to talk with a good experience all around,thank you so much

Kim was very friendly and helpful and she responded quickly to any questions we had. I would recommend her to assist you buying or selling a home!

Good experience selling our house with Kim as our realtor. Very responsive and personable. Smooth sale. Would highly recommend.

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 very 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!
