Brunswick Maine Real Estate
House lots and homes in Maine for sale > Process for buying land and building a home
We enjoyed the personal contact with the employees at Downeast.
They know their business and obviously have been through the home
building process so many times. Our comfort level was very high
with them.

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.
