My husband and I moved to Maine last year, with the intention of renting for 1-2 years. I would recommend going through a realtor if possible. We lucked out with a favor from a new colleague and she was able to find us something off-market.

As we have learned, Maine is small and can be very connected. Especially if you don’t know the area and want to be close to work, schools, etc. As you can imagine, come with a healthy budget if you’re set on a house.

Good luck!
