Why Work With Us?

Our realtor, Phil, McPhail was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this company.

If you're looking for the BEST and MOST COMPETENT real estate professionals, this is where you go. RUN HERE!!

Phil helped us in a 92 acre lot purchase and was an absolute asset from: 1.) preparing a comp report so that we made a fair, informed offer, 2.) helping us navigate the process of obtaining DOT approval for a driveway, 3.) utility due diligence to bring electricity on to the property, 4.) walking the property and meticulously finding all the survey points, 5.) assisting and answering promptly and efficiently and questions or concerns we had regarding our acquisition.

In my opinion, he represents the gold standard that every real estate professional should seek to measure up to.

We couldn't have asked for anyone better - he is just that good. I highly recommend Phil for your professional real estate needs.

Carson McPhail helped us purchase our property. He was extremely helpful, we are from CT so we didn't know the area well. We told him what we wanted our wish list and he was on top of getting us details about every property we wanted to see. He drove out to the boonies and not so far out, he didn't mind at all (even though he needed to wash his muddy vehicle after 1 particular stop, lol but it sure was a fun exciting experience and we wouldn't have gone with any other realty. We love watching the team at United County Lifestyle of Maine, every real estate agency should take lead from them if they want to sell land or homes. They know how to do it, with honestly, integrity and humor. We love you guys and thank you for helping us find our little piece of heaven in Maine (up by the lake in Lincoln) well, it will be when we are done clearing, landscaping and working it as we hope to. Amy and Paul. 

Phil took time to show us a property and did it when it was convenient for us.  He really knows land, soils, forests and the rules and regulations that determine land use.  His experience and good judgement show through.  There are a lot of people in the business who do not know these things and have barely walked the property they are showing.  Not Phil. We recommend his expertise to anyone

I am very pleased with the work that Phil and Carmen McPhail of McPhail Realty did dealing with selling my property in Dover Foxcroft Maine.  It was an extremely hard sell. Other realtors had tried and failed to sell it. I would definitely highly recommend!

Peter McPhail from Lifestyle Properties of Maine was instrumental in helping us find a house in Bangor. We are delighted with our new home and truly enjoyed working with Peter. We’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new home. He is highly professional, his knowledge about the local housing market is unsurpassed, and he is just an all-around nice guy We moved to Bangor from the deep south, and were completely unfamiliar with the idiosyncrasies that come with living in Maine. I can’t express enough how grateful we were to have Peter working with us. He wasn’t just looking to make a sale, he really wanted to help us find a home. Peter took the time to explain the different building styles, educating us on typical Maine housing do’s and don’ts, and patiently answered all of our questions, consulting with contractors if need be. Peter always stayed on top of everything, thinking of things and addressing them before they even appeared on our radar, and was often one step ahead of us as well as the selling realtor. When moving to a new town, there’s nothing as nice as knowing someone is on your side, and Peter definitely stepped into that role. If we were to move again (although we honestly hope that will be a long time coming), we will most definitely work with Peter again.

We were blessed meet Peter McPhail and the team from United Country Lifestyle Properties of Maine as we searched for quiet professionals to sell our family home. From the start, Peter’s his extensive market knowledge and deft touch inspired confidence as we navigated the real estate arena. Always well-prepared and passionate about his client’s needs, he demystified the process and patiently guided us in formulating a strategic plan tailored to our situation, resulting in “made to order” home sales experience.

It’s my absolute pleasure to recommend Peter McPhail and the United Country Lifestyle Properties of Maine team of experts for to those looking for results in the Maine reality market.

Debbie Holmes blends professionalism and integrity with small town friendliness. She takes the time to listen and understand what the buyer/seller is looking for, then tries her best to realize their dreams.  She will spend whatever time it takes traipsing through woods/raw land in good or bad weather, and does it with humor and a smile. Debbie has a wealth of contacts that might be needed after the sale - i.e. permits, contractors, needed services, etc. Debbie is very proficient at combining business and fun, it was such a pleasure to work with her!!!  I would HIGHLY recommend Debbie Holmes of United Country Real Estate/Lifestyle Properties of Maine to anyone interested in buying or selling property in Lubec, Maine.

I give her Five + stars in all categories:
> Local knowledge   *****+

Working with Doug Reed was a pleasure. As out of state clients, he worked really hard to make each of our trips to Maine worthwhile. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. After sacrificing a few long Saturdays, he found us the right property. He was knowledgeable and very helpful through the purchase process.

We will be forever grateful for his help.   He found us our dream property and he will help you find yours.

We were very pleased with Doug Reed’s work on selling our 119 acres of forestland in Dixmont. The promotional material that he prepared was outstanding and the follow-up was excellent. He presented several offers in a clear, organized manner, helped us deal with questions from the title company and stuck with it through thick and thin even when offers didn’t work out. He even followed through with one offer while he was on vacation.

When our sale went through, he moved the paperwork along right on schedule and wrapped everything up exactly as promised.

We were impressed!
