Choose the site for your new home in Brunswick, Maine

We will help you find the lot that meets your needs for location, budget and size. Most lots have sufficient size to accommodate all but the largest homes.

Purchasing the lot

Once you are ready to proceed, a three thousand dollar deposit is typically required to secure the lot. A Purchase and Sale agreement is signed and the closing would generally occur in 3 or 4 weeks. The closing may be delayed much longer to accommodate a buyer who wishes to sell their existing residence first. Downeast does offer financing arrangements for both the land and building materials. Please contact us for specifics in these situations.

Designing your home

You may already have finished plans for your new home or have decided to use an architect. If not, Downeast can help. We work with a very experienced design consultant who assists many buyers with designing just the house they want. With 20 years of design experience, Bill Guerin combines the technical proficiency necessary for efficient, quality construction with the experience to maximize the options within your budget.

Once you have your plans, the Downeast staff will prepare a detailed material estimate.


Selecting a builder

As your plans firm up, you will want to select a builder. We regularly provide recommendations on good, local, available builders. We have an ongoing relationship with most builders in the area and have matched up countless builders with customers wanting to build. You will be negotiating directly with your builder to determine the scope and total cost of the project.
