I would recommend Tamarack if it wasnt for their electrical policy. ELECTRICITY INCLUDED for properties are all in capital letters, but the fine print (if it is even printed anywhere) is if you use above average electrical use (which could be anything from using A/C units, oxygen tanks or topping off an electric car), they ask for a $100 cash upfront fee. Even offering to pay for whatever extra electrical costs are expected (a measly $10), they insist the full $100 is required. Quite unreasonable and hope they have a change of heart here.
Cool
We have rented through Carol and Skip at Tamarack Realty for over 15 years, and my in-laws rented from them before that. We have never had a problem with Tamarack Realty, they are always professional and courteous. They go out of their way to accommodate our family and any requests that we may have. Whenever we have encountered a problem with our rental (a rare occurrence) Skip or Carol were on top of it immediately. They go out of their way to keep in touch with us in the off-season and do a great job of keeping us updated on everything. I highly recommend Tamarack Realty for all of your real estate needs.
My family has been renting from Tamarack Realty for about 10 years now give or take.This year we specifically asked for a house with very few stairs, and a master bedroom and bathroom on the first floor. We asked for this because my grandparents are 72 and 77. My grandmother has mobility issues and cannot easily manage lots of stairs.Carol put us in a new house this year under the pretense that it met the requirements our family needed.The house had several stair cases and no master bedroom or barhroom on the main floor.In addition to that, we had a shared driveway with 3 other houses even though we have a large family with several cars (mostly SUVs).This caused an issue when roofers came to do construction next door the first day of our vacation. The roofers and the neighbors grandson were upset the one ton work truck couldnt immediately scoot by.We called the realtor to see what our potential recourse was. We really didnt want to listen to contruction and construction workers all week.The realtors husband came by and we expalined what was going on. He response was to say, well what do you expect? Theyre Mainers....we are also from Maine. My entire family.We were blown away by their lack of professionalism.For a realtor who has know our family for 10 years to be so careless in house choice and then so plainly insulting... wow.Fyi.. people from Maine have Google, too.Thats the last 4 figure check from us.Best of luck!!
