During my career of 40 years, I worked with many real estate brokers. None were as wonderful as David Banks and his team (Teddy Piper, Will Fuller, Irene Gosselin etc.). When my husband and I began searching for a new home, we spoke with David. He heard what we wanted and contacted us when he felt that a candidate was worth investigating. Ultimately, he found the perfect match, a home that had not yet been listed for sale. At all times David and his team kept us informed. No email or phone call goes unanswered; responses are almost immediate. When does his team sleep?! David, Teddy and Will also helped us ready our home for sale; when we expressed an interest in repainting a hall, they had a painter at our house the next day at 9am! Our house was under contract in one weekend. Thereafter, the team helped to coordinate an inspection and then found workers to address a few issues raised by the inspection. The details of the closings for both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our existing home received attention that was very impressive. One seldom finds the level of service that the David Banks team provides--always professional, pleasant, thorough, responsive, and caring. David and his team deserve a platinum star; they are the ultimate real estate matchmakers!

We could not recommend the RE/MAX By the Bay team more highly. We worked most closely with Teddy Piper who I'm pretty sure never sleeps. He was very thorough in helping us complete all of the due diligence on our new home and was always quick to respond to our numerous questions. David Banks was also wonderful to work with - he helped close both deals in selling our current home and buying our new home. The team seems to function very well together. We are so grateful for their help.

EVERY*LITTLE*DETAIL! David Banks and his team are superior in every facet of real estate. When we decided to sell our home, we called David right away and were looking forward to being repeat customers 15 years after the initial home selling experience. We were convinced that the second time around, David himself would be less available because he has grown into such a success. Instead, we received a call from David on the very first day, a visit from him on the second day and we were exploring development homes with him on the third day. He brings team members along so that at any given moment, multiple people can address any questions that arise within minutes of sending texts or emails. The photography of our house was second-to-none and this helped to usher an onslaught of showings and offers that were well above the asking price. After closing on the house (with David by our side) and purchasing a lot in a treeline development, David and his team continue to shine on the building side of the interactions. They have lined us up with a top-notch construction company and he and his team will remain vigilant throughout the process to ensure that our home is exactly as imagined. In short, David is there to offer advice on everything from moving to storage, to appliances, to oil companies, to taxes, to insurance. He will tell you to call Adam and Martha and to be sure to speak to Don or to Jen. His network is far and wide as he surrounds himself with knowledgeable individuals who are at the top of their respective fields. As my husband has said many times over, we would not be doing this without David by our side. He allows us to sell and build with confidence and even enthusiasm. Southern Maine is fortunate, indeed!!

Linda Schrader was recently the realtor for my Grandparents in a retirement community where she has exclusive selling rights. Close coincided with the death of my Grandmother last week. Linda showed little to no compassion through the process when she could have. When asked almost a full week after close when the check would hit my Grandparents account, she replied with a smug comment, "If you had been at close, you would have received a check at that time." She should no longer be allowed to work with families in retirement communities.

David Banks and his team did incredible work with all aspects of the sale of our house. This included deciding when to put the house on the market, preparing the house for sale, and working through several difficult closing details. I was amazed at the number of professionals we worked in his firm, each with their specific area of expertise. Throughout the process David’s team kept us informed. David’s personal knowledge of the Portland area, experience selling homes on and near Baxter Blvd, and his relationship with other local professionals were invaluable assets. David and his team were a pleasure to work with throughout the process.

The David Banks Team is a phenomenal group that is unparalleled in its commitment to efficacious, quality service in a wild real estate market. Throughout the process of searching for and purchasing our home, we felt so supported. David, Betsy, Peter, Linda, and Jen repeatedly went above and beyond for us especially when unexpected issues arose. They were friendly, hardworking, dedicated, and knowledgeable in every way. We couldn't possibly recommend them enough if you are looking to buy or sell in Maine!

I recently had the pleasure of working with David Bank's team on an estate sale. The process could not have been smoother thanks to the help of David and his team. You can sleep easy knowing that David and his team have everything under control. David's hard work, strategy and demeanor make him one of the best real estate agents in Maine. David and his team make sure every detail is addressed and working with his office was nothing but smooth sailing. I would recommend David's office to anyone looking for real estate help in the area. I cannot praise David and his team more highly for their excellent work.

Not covid compliant while showing a home for sale. Agents do not follow state guidelines for safety. Agents did not inform selling party or selling party agent of non essential buyers traveling through my home. Ownerof this company disregards any safety concerns of his seller agents to boost his buyers needs above any safety concerns during strict covid requirements. Excuses are made for buyers and agents non compliance.

I cannot say enough about the quality and effectiveness of David Banks and his team. As a special market house (waterfront), David's strategic approach and implementation were spot-on, along with his listing price recommendations. When it came time to negotiate, he was friendly yet firm with potential buyers, which enabled us to get the best offer possible. I would recommend David and his team to anyone selling a home in Southern Maine.
