There’s something that’s not talked about enough in real estate—and that’s how easy it is to end up with the wrong agent.

You scroll through listings online, you click on a house you like, and suddenly you’re getting emails and calls from someone you’ve never met. Before you know it, that person is your “buyer agent.” But are they really the right one to help you make one of the biggest purchases of your life?

The Truth Behind the Click

Here’s the deal: sites like Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com don’t connect you with the listing agent. They sell your click to the highest bidder—usually an agent who paid for your lead, not someone who knows your situation, your goals, or even your preferred area.

That’s not a recipe for success. That’s a recipe for regret.

What a Great Agent Actually Does

A great buyer agent is more than a door-opener. They:

• Help you clarify your budget and goals

• Know the local market, quirks, and seasonal trends

• Spot red flags in properties you’d never notice on your own

• Advocate for you during negotiations and inspections

• Coordinate with lenders, title companies, inspectors, and more

That kind of representation can’t come from a random online match.

Start With Clarity, Not Chaos

That’s why I built PlanBeforeYouMove.com.
It’s not a portal. It’s not a lead funnel. It’s a way for you to get clarity before you commit to an agent—so you can make a confident move, not a blind one.

I’ll listen to your goals, help you understand what to expect, and either work with you personally or connect you with a trusted expert in the area you’re looking. You won’t be guessing who’s in your corner. You’ll know.

The Cost of Getting It Wrong

You only get one shot at your first offer, your inspection window, your financing deadlines. If your agent isn’t sharp, responsive, and local, you’re at risk of missing key opportunities—or making costly mistakes.

In Maine, things like seasonal access, heating systems, and private roads add a whole new layer to the buying process. You need someone who knows what questions to ask before you even make an offer.

You Deserve a Clear Path

Your real estate journey shouldn’t start with confusion. It should start with clarity.

So before you lock into someone you don’t know—let’s talk.
