New Brunswick, Canada, is about 30 miles due east. The nearest services are in the town of Lincoln, 30 miles to the southwest. Lincoln is a town of just less than 3,000 and has a hospital, an 18- hole golf course, and a business district. Primary employers in this region are in the forest products industry. Bangor has an airport and is an hour-and-a-half to the southwest, while the Downeast Maine coast is about 2 hours to the southeast.

Right Now You Are A Customer Dept. of Professional & Financial Regulation Office of Licensing & Registration MAINE REAL ESTATE COMMISSION 35 State House Station Augusta ME 04333-0035 Are you interested in buying or selling residential real estate in Maine? Before you begin working with a real estate licensee it is important for you to understand that Maine Law provides for different levels of brokerage service to buyers and sellers. You should decide whether you want to be represented in a transaction (as a client) or not (as a customer). To assist you in deciding which option is in your best interest, please review the following information about real estate brokerage relationships: Maine law requires all real estate brokerage companies and their affiliated licensees ( licensee ) to perform certain basic duties when dealing with a buyer or seller. You can expect a real estate licensee you deal with to provide the following customer-level services: To disclose all material defects pertaining to the physical condition of the real estate that are known by the licensee; To treat both the buyer and seller honestly and not knowingly give false information; To account for all money and property received from or on behalf of the buyer or seller; and To comply with all state and federal laws related to real estate brokerage activity. Until you enter into a written brokerage agreement with the licensee for client-level representation you are considered a customer and the licensee may not act as your agent. As a customer, you should not expect the licensee to promote your best interest, or to keep any information you give to the licensee confidential, including your bargaining position. You May Become A Client If you want a licensee to represent you, you will need to enter into a written listing agreement or a written buyer representation agreement. These agreements create a client-agent relationship between you and the licensee. As a client you can expect the licensee to provide the following services, in addition to the basic services required of all licensees listed above: To perform the terms of the written agreement with skill and care; REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE RELATIONSHIPS FORM To promote your best interests; For seller clients this means the agent will put the seller s interests first and negotiate the best price and terms for the seller; For buyer clients this means the agent will put the buyer s interests first and negotiate for the best prices and terms for the buyer; and To maintain the confidentiality of specific client information, including bargaining information. COMPANY POLICY ON CLIENT-LEVEL SERVICES WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW The real estate brokerage company s policy on client-level services determines which of the three types of agent-client relationships permitted in Maine may be offered to you. The agent-client relationships permitted in Maine are as follows: The company and all of its affiliated licensees represent you as a client (called single agency ); The company appoints, with your written consent, one or more of the affiliated licensees to represent you as an agent(s) (called appointed agency ); or The company may offer limited agent level services as a disclosed dual agent. WHAT IS A DISCLOSED DUAL AGENT? In certain situations, a licensee may act as an agent for and represent both the buyer and the seller in the same transaction. This is called disclosed dual agency. The possibilities and consequences of dual agency representation must be explained to you by the licensee. Both the buyer and the seller must consent to this type of representation in writing. Working with a dual agent is not the same as having your own exclusive agent as a single or appointed agent. For instance, when representing both a buyer and a seller, the dual agent must not disclose to one party any confidential information obtained from the other party. Also, a dual agent may not be the advocate for either party and cannot negotiate for nor advise as to the price or terms of the transaction. THIS IS NOT A CONTRACT Remember! Unless you enter into a written agreement for agency representation, a licensee is not allowed to represent you! It is important for you to know that this form is not a contract. The licensee's completion of the statement below acknowledges that you have been given the information required by Maine law regarding brokerage relationships so that you may make an informed decision as to the relationship you wish to establish with the licensee/company. To Be Completed By Licensee This form was presented on (date) To Name of Buyer(s) or Seller(s) Jesse Studley by Licensee's Name Fountains Land on behalf of Company/Agency MREC Form#3 12/05 To check on the license status of the real estate brokerage company or affiliated licensee go to www.maine.gov/professionallicensing.
