“I felt incredibly at ease and that I was in good hands. I could ask a question at almost any time, and it seemed I would get an answer immediately. They both had the utmost patience for my questions and for the loan process as a whole, as it took a very long time. I felt as though they advocated for me and left me little to really worry about. Charmaine and Michelle really cared and wanted me to get into the house I wanted, and as someone buying a house for the first time in this market, that is huge. I would absolutely recommend this team to anybody trying to get a house right now.”

"Michelle is the best realtors ever! She went above and beyond to help sell my house for top dollar. She staged it for Fall and all I got was compliments on how amazing it looked. My house sold for top dollar in 3 days!!! Not only that but she and Charmaine helped me find the perfect house to buy. They were so professional and knowledgeable in helping me negotiate a great price and negotiate during my inspection process. I have recommended Michelle to all my family and friends. That’s saying a lot, I love my family and friends. Michelle has easily turned into a good friend through this process. Thank you!"
Tammy Maillette Lynch via Facebook
"Michelle was the key to finding my happy place in Maine. She overcame time, distance, and covid barriers to make sure we were still able to get the full experience of buying the house without being physically present for the entire process. It's been a couple of months now and I am so happy in my new home. Thank you!"
Jaclyn Ann via Facebook
"The service was friendly and complete. All the details were taken care of."
Edward Cote | Lewiston
"Michelle is AWESOME. There is no other way to describe her. Very thorough. Always available. She made the whole process of selling my elderly mother's mobile home quick, easy and effortless. And it was not an easy task with some of the issues that we faced from the park owners. I would recommend Michelle and Fontaine Family to anyone and everyone. Wonderful experience. I haven't worked with an agent for over 13 years and times have certainly changed - the market, the advertising opportunities with social media, etc. I would say that everything now is moving at a much faster pace and your team is definitely keeping up with that momentum. I know that part of that is the market right now, but that aside, there was no delay in getting Michelle to come see the property, completing the paperwork, listing, and selling. It all happened much faster than I thought it would. And we also had to deal with some roadblocks but that did not deter her or slow the process down at all. I felt like we really did not have to spend any of our time getting the process from start to finish. She did it all!"
Michelle Greenier | Turner
"Michelle made the selling process very easy for me. She found a highly qualified buyer for my home right away and organized every step of the process. She was, and continues to be, available whenever I have a question. Michelle did an awesome job and I highly recommend her."
Jim Koch via Facebook
"As first time home buyers we had no idea what to expect, especially in this market, but our realtors Michelle and Abby were knowledgeable, responsive and very compassionate during the process. It wasn't easy and was so frustrating at times, but they were extremely helpful and willing to go above and beyond."
Justine Plourde | Auburn
"Everything was very simple. Michelle always made sure we were in the loop and very friendly and professional. Even had a garage sale and Michelle made sure she came over to see if we needed any help!"
Anne Moreau | Greene

"Michelle and Charmaine walked is through the selling and buying process. They would not allow us to get discouraged or lose hope when things didn't go quite as planned, and finally got is into our forever home."
Tammy Bureau | Wayne
"If it weren't for Michelle Gosselin Ervin my family and I would still be spending a ridiculous amount of money renting and not enjoying our own lawn and our quiet neighborhood. Michelle showed me things were possible, probable, and that I could make my dream come true for my daughter. This company knows how to relate to everyone and their dreams no matter how big or small."
Heather Finley via Facebook
"HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Michelle and Charmaine were simply amazing and I'm not sure we could thank them enough for their assistance. Even when things got weird (thanks COVID) they stepped up their game and made sure our first homebuying experience was still pleasurable. Thank you ladies! We are SO GRATEFUL for you and your wonderful team."
Cindy Bailey via Google Reviews
"We had the great opportunity of working with Michelle Gosselin and Charmaine Raby when we were house searching in 2020. They helped us find an amazing house! They listened to what we wanted and helped us find the house that worked for us and in our price range. I highly recommend this company and especially Michelle and Charmaine!"
Elizabeth Ramos via Facebook
"Michelle G and Charmaine were both great to work with. No matter what time it was they were working on our deals. Michelle really went the extra mile to make sure we got the home we wanted and did everything to get us every penny we could for our home. I have and will continue to recommend them and the entire team."
Donnie D'Auteuil via Facebook
"I have been working with Michelle Gosselin for several months now. She has been extremely helpful and patient with my never ending questions and messages. She has been beyond amazing in creating offers on properties that I have liked and has never missed a beat when I decided to change direction completely to build new. She’s very attentive and supportive and I recommend her strongly to anyone looking to buy or sell!!"
Lisa Arsenault via Google Reviews
"Michelle is absolutely amazing. She helped our daughter find the perfect home in ME. Michelle took our daughter under her wing and helped her get acquainted with the town and all the great surroundings. We can't think Michelle enough for her insight, knowledge, professionalism and friendship during this move and transition. Thank you!"
Mary Jo Grimaldi Israel via Facebook
"I just want to start off by saying “Thank you”. I’m not sure if there is a word to describe how wonderful of an experience this was for me. Being a first time home buyer there are so many questions and so many unknowns and steps and processes that occur that even after taking the home buyers education course you are not fully prepared for the actual experience. When we found our home, I reached out to Michelle and within 24 hours, we were under contract. She truly had our best interest at heart and was truly amazing. Michelle was great at answering all my questions. No matter if they were big or small. The closer we came to closing the more stressful it had become. Michelle kept calm, she explained the process and the scenarios and kept me informed every step of the way. This has been a truly amazing experience and we can’t thank Michelle enough for her hard work to make our dream a reality."
Darcy | Clinton
"We had less than two months in which to prep, list, and sell our home. Michelle has been the perfect partner during a stressful but exciting time. She has gone above and beyond and kept us informed every step of the way. Her advice and guidance have been invaluable. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor."
Kayt Myers | Turner
"Working with Charmaine and Michelle from the very beginning, was very easy and they did everything they could to minimize the stress of selling a home. They really did their homework researching the houses in my area and around the same price range to get a very realistic price even in the very volatile market right now. When it came to staging the house for pictures they were very clear on what was important to look good in the listing and even provided all the white towels and staging props. I didn't spend a cent on temporary decorations for my house! For the rest of the process Charmaine and Michelle always had a plan and could provide me with answers to my questions right away. I would (and already have) recommend them to anyone planning to sell their house in Maine. By the way- they sold it for $50,000 over asking!"
Brian Mason | Brunswick
"Prompt, thorough, kind, receptive, understanding...really there isn't a bad thing I could say."
Jaclyn Israel | Lewiston
"Michelle was our primary realtor. She also worked with Charmaine. Michelle went above and beyond when it came to selling our house and buying our new house. She staged our house and it looked amazing. She also helped us secure the house that we wanted to buy. I would recommend her to anyone needing a realtor. Everyone went above and beyond throughout the process of selling and buying our homes. When our bank would not go out of their way to get our appraisal done sooner, the office found one for us. Everything about this experience was great."
Shannon D'Auteuil | Lewiston
"My brokers Charmaine Raby and Michelle Gosselin were very efficient in promoting the sale of my house to prospective buyers and I felt that they had my back in protecting me as the seller looking out for my best interest. I would recommend them to anyone who would be selling any kind of real estate. Their attention to detail and the ability to answer any questions you might have concerning problems that might arise from the sale of property. I would highly recommend them."
Rene Cote |Lewiston
"Michelle made this first time home owner feel secure when first time home buying was a very scary ordeal. I didn't trust the process at many times, but I trusted Michelle. She made time for all my many questions and was right on top of things when I needed a professional. I already have, and will definitely keep recommending one of the friendliest and helpful realtors. Fontaine hit the jackpot with this woman!"
Heather Finley via Facebook
"I just want to give a HUGE shout out to the most amazing realtor!! Michelle Gosselin Ervin has simply blown me away with her attentiveness, thoughtfulness, extreme patience with my constant insanity as well as her absolute skill and knowledge! She goes WAY above and beyond to make things happen for her clients and I am so grateful to have her in my corner in my journey to find my forever home!! I highly recommend her for anyone in the market to buy or sell!!! She gives amazing a completely new meaning!!"
Lisa Arsenault via Facebook
"Huge shout out to the team of Michelle Gosselin Ervin and Charmaine Raby. They guided us through the selling and buying process. No matter how many times we thought we'd never find a house, they kept us positive and moving forward. Even when there was little available, they just kept digging, and helped us find our perfect little piece of heaven. Michelle and Charmaine, we can't thank you enough. What a team!!"
Tammy Clavet-Bureau & Marc Bureau via Facebook
"I'm so happy to have had Michelle's representation of selling my home. Her work ethic is the definition of being a go getter and going above and beyond! What's even better is that you don't just have her, you have Charmaine and the entire Fontaine team working for you! When the time is right for me to buy again, I will be calling Michelle...you should too!!"
Debbie Bosse
"We had a very positive, professional experience with Michelle and Charmaine. This was not our first time buying a home, but it might as well have been. We were pretty green. Our situation was made more difficult by the fact that we were in Oregon and doing our house hunt via Skype. Michelle kept in regular touch with us, and with my sister in Maine, who was acting as our eyes and ears locally. She was very good about explaining things as we went along. Everything went smoothly, from beginning to end, and we closed on New Year’s Eve. Thank you for such a smooth, pleasant experience. I recommend the Fontaine Family with pleasure."
Hilda Westervelt via Facebook

Kristen Finlay via Facebook
"Charmaine and Michelle were wonderful to work with! What makes them different is all the little details. Constant communication. They had our best interest in mind. Always prompt and helpful!"
Ashley Carrier | Augusta
"We tried to sell our house a few times and were hesitant on listing it again. We decided to try one more time. We are so thankful we did. Our house sold!!! Michelle went above and beyond to find us a new home. All the homes we liked were selling fast and we thought we had missed out. Michelle worked HARD to find us the PERFECT home. She wasn't afraid to knock on doors to see if the owner wanted to sell. Lol. She took time to go through expired listings but found our new home for us. She and Charmaine worked step by step with us, always kept us up to date. I wouldn't recommend ANYONE but FONTAINE FAMILY GROUP. We had a very enjoyable experience with two of the most wonderful people. Thank you ladies for all your hard work. It is very much appreciated. YOU LADIES ROCK!!!"
Sue Baillargeon via Facebook
"My husband and I were first time homebuyers and new to Maine. We had the pleasure to work with Charmaine Raby and Michelle Gosselin! They were very helpful with explaining everything to us and finding us our first home, even during the pandemic and with a limited inventory they helped us every step of the way. Thank you so much!! We highly recommend them."
Jennifer Rykert via Facebook
"Professional, really cared about me and my home and listened to my concerns. They did a great job and sold the house within days at the asking price."
Emilio Philippon | Lewiston
"Thanks to Michelle G for selling my father's house. She was very friendly, professional, and really did a great job easing the feelings of giving up a home after 53 years of living there. Dad is in his nineties, hard of hearing, and gets confused. Michelle made sure that a family member was present at all times to explain the process and answer any questions. She aggressively marketed the house and it sold in just a few days. Highly recommend Fontaine Family and Michelle."
Mona Ervin via Facebook
"HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Michelle and Charmaine were simply amazing and I'm not sure we could thank them enough for their assistance.

Jonathan Ramos | Lewiston
"I would recommend you folks, Michelle Gosselin was a big help to us and our daughter, she would answer any questions we had no matter what time it was. We even interrupted her wedding reception when we called her and when she got a chance she called us back. Thank you everyone who helped us get our house we love it."
Rachel Scrivner via facebook
"Michelle was my realtor, Julie Poulin was my mortgage lender, they are such great people to have on your team when buying a home, your made to feel like family. I am so glad to have have them on my team, they made out home buying experience smooth and exciting all the way, we love out new home, I'm proud to be able to call them friends."
Randy Scrivner via Facebook
"Michelle went above and beyond to help someone who wasn't even a client of hers. She helped her clients purchase a house that was listed as a for sale by owner. Upon meeting the owners of the house, she went out of her way to make sure they were being safe when showing the house and once an offer was accepted, she walked them through the entire process with patience and kindness. She never once seemed irritated or frustrated. She kept the seller updated throughout the entire process, while still looking out for her clients. It ended with a successful transaction and both parties couldn't be happier. I don't usually leave reviews but feel her customer service deserved to be recognized."
Amber Connor Dunn via Facebook
"As first time homebuyers my husband and I had no idea what we were doing. I had someone recommend I talk to Michelle and boy were we happy we were able to work with her and Charmaine. They made everything to easy and took a lot of the homebuying stress away. They were always super responsive when I had a question or there was a house we wanted to look at. They really know what they are looking for, and pointed us in the right direction. They helped us find out first home and we couldn't be happier. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a home and I would work with them again in a heartbeat! Thank you Michelle and Charmaine for making the process easy and stress free!"
Allyson Newcomb via GoogleMyBusiness
"Was a pleasure working with Michelle. She wasn't in a rush to just sell a home, she was just as concerned as us that our family found the perfect home. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking into buying or selling a home."
Brandy Carter via GoogleMyBusiness
"When I needed help finding the right place for my family I had Michelle and Charmaine there with me all the way from starting the search to signing the closing paperwork. They went above and beyond what I expect from realtors even would. Advising me when I needed it and treating me like family. Never giving up until we found just what i and my family needed. Thank you ladies. Never change."
Pauline Christie | Lewiston
"Michelle and Charmaine went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule to see houses. They understood our wants and needs in a house and made that happen. I am truly thankful for each one of them! Our past experience was a nightmare from the beginning down to closing and we didn’t think we would ever buy another house. But they changed our minds it was a great experience and I wouldn’t want to work with anyone else."
Karen McBride | Sabattus

Debra Cook | Farmington
"My husband and I purchased our first home in April. We choose Michelle because she made us feel comfortable and listened to our needs. Charmaine and Michelle worked closely together to make this the best possible experience. They were never pushy and allowed us to do things on our time line. I can confidently say that if we did not work with Michelle and Charmaine we would not have been able to get the house we wanted. Any time we had a question or was confused by something they would make sure to help us. They have an attention to detail that truly shows their passion for the real estate business. I would recommend these two to anyone in the home market!"
Rachel and Jeremy Grignon

Katie Daigle | Mechanic Falls
"My husband and I listed our property in Clinton, Maine, with Michelle Gosselin, Fontaine Real Estate, and within two days we had an offer and many other showings. Way before we listed, Michelle was working hard by traveling to our property, compiling comps, and educating herself about the surrounding communities. Professional from the beginning to the end. Highly recommend Michelle for all your real estate needs."
Betsy | Albion
"We could not be more satisfied with our experience with Michelle Gosselin and the Fontaine Family team. Michelle went truly went above and beyond w to ensure that the house was the best shape to sell. She coordinated with contractors and personally put in extra time after hours to help us. The care, attention, and kindness that we received was far superior to that of any other real estate agent we have ever worked with. Even though we were not in town, Michelle made the process easy. The entire Fontaine Family office worked incredibly well together to make sure that the nuts and bolts of the sale came together on time. We are so happy to have had Michelle help us through this process."
William Beecher
"If you are looking for property in Maine, Michelle Gosselin is your lady! My husband and I are from New Mexico and we are looking to buy a house there in the spring. We just recently visited Maine and Michelle was above and beyond what we ever expected. She showed us so much of the gorgeous state, property and homes for sale and took us to several of Maine’s finest restaurants. Her and her fiancé definitely were a highlight of our trip, and we cannot wait to continue to work with her!"
Kaily Nystrom | New Mexico State
"I live and work in Connecticut. So, when I inherited a house in Lewiston this summer, I was at a loss how to proceed. Enter Michelle Gosselin. As my real estate agent, she went above and beyond what I think anyone could expect. She used her knowledge of the community to help me dispose of the contents of the home, providing personal, hands-on assistance when I could not be there myself. She also arranged for the prepping. The home was promptly sold Thanks to Michelle, the entire process was smooth, efficient and problem-free. I can unreservedly recommend her services for anyone interested in selling or buying a property."
Louise Beecher | Madison, CT
"I wanted to thank you for your help in finding a property to lease. I had been trying to locate a location by myself, but as soon as I started working with you, I felt like you had the knowledge of Lewiston and tenacity to find me a place. Even though we weren't successful with the properties that you got me in contact with, you were easy to work with, so available by text and was in constant contact with the landlords and code enforcement officers to try and make a deal for me. I would recommend you service to anyone and if and when I need another realtor...you will be the first person that I call. I thank you so much for your help."
