Michael and Edie helped us with both the sale of our old home and purchase of our new home. They were an extremely detail oriented team, making sure we were supported through each step of the buying and selling process. I also appreciated that Michael took the time to make sure we understand all of the documents we were being asked to sign. They were able to make a notoriously stressful process feel approachable and attainable. We would happily work with Elevate again in the future. Thank you, Michael and Edie!

I think the words need to be said. I've been working with caleb giusto for the sale of my home on 58 milford St, Bangor, ME 04401 to Sydney. He represents her,I represent myself. In the process of communicating the terms, I told him that I wanted to be paid for the 280 gallons of oil in my tank, he asked me if I had the.Receipts and I said yes, that I did. So the purchase and sale agreement was signed, from my part I didn't catch it, from his part was unethical and did not include that in our deal. He absolutely knew my wishes and went against my will,100%When I asked him again to discuss the oil through text he ignored my questions, I had to ask him twice who the title company and who the person was handling the transaction. I contacted amanda who is handling and asked her to include the cost of oil. Today I received the email with the statement and the oil was not included. Now I know why he was blowing me off. Because he had no intention of discussing the oil or putting it in the closing statement. Since I was busy and I missed that he didn't put it in the purchase and Sale Agreement. I suggested to him that he pay half of the oil bill and I would pay half. To find disappointment, apparently, he does not have a conscience about his unethical behavior in the sale. But I i think that you should know what he thinks is okay in doing business. Do you do business this way?? Don't use this real estate company.

Genevieve has been the best! She was an exemplary professional and stellar advocate throughout our home buying experience. Highly recommend!!
Erica Lemieux
Relocating from Colorado to Maine. We worked with Genevieve to buy our first home. Truly could not have had a better experience. She’s not only the kindest person but she’s patient, thorough, and honest. We had a tight timeline and she worked with us at all hours, and would make time for us even on her busiest days to show us homes. We could not recommend her more and have already been sharing her contact with our friends. She’s great at what she does!!!

Daphne was an amazing help with our home buying process! She was kind, respectful and patient with us. She knew we were first time homebuyers and took time to help us every step of the way. She offered suggestions and insight on things that we would have never thought of. I will be recommending Daphne to anyone looking to buy a home!
Tina Morris
Daphne was an absolute pleasure to work with! As first-time home buyers, we truly appreciated her patience, kindness, and extensive knowledge. She was always professional, responsive to our questions, and a strong advocate for us throughout the entire process. Daphne made us feel supported every step of the way and consistently went above and beyond for us. We are extremely grateful and will absolutely be recommending Daphne to anyone we know who is looking to buy or sell a home!

Katrina went above and beyond in so many ways. As an entrepreneur, securing a loan can be challenging. As an extremely busy person, I can be a handful to deal with, but she understood and stepped up to the plate. She even went as far as being on hold with the IRS for me while I was busy running my business. She worked with me every step of the way and was willing to do anything needed to get the job done. So thankful for her ability to make things happen. Highly recommend her as well as her team.

We met Nicole at an open house and were immediately impressed by her professionalism. She expertly guided us and sometimes was our eyes when we could not travel back to Maine from New Jersey. She understood exactly what we were looking for and expertly navigated us through the Maine real estate market. We feel truly lucky to have found such a dedicated and enthusiastic realtor. We are now in dream home in Maine.
Seth Reynolds
Katrina Manker and Elevate Maine were nothing but a pleasure to work with during our home buying experience! Buying a home isn’t easy, but she was with us every step of the way, advocating for our best interest and even working with the sellers to remediate all sorts of stuff from radon to electrical prior to move in. Thank you, Katrina!

Working with Elevate Maine Realty—Primarily with Mike, Melanie & Caleb—was an exceptional experience from start to finish. In one of the most challenging and fiercely competitive seller favored markets ever, they managed to deliver something we didn’t think was possible: our perfect starter home. A perfectly sized bungalow on the end of a short dead end road in Scarborough.
From day one, Mike and Melanie were professional, proactive, and incredibly tuned in to our needs. They took the time to truly understand our family and provide invaluable guidance throughout the buying process. Despite the low inventory and rapid pace of the real estate market in Maine, they stayed persistent and optimistic, never letting us feel discouraged.
What impressed us most was how closely they hit the mark—finding a home that checked almost all of the amenities on our wish list, in a zip code we didn’t think we’d be able to afford. Their strategic approach, responsiveness, Mikes incredible depth of knowledge, and commitment to fighting for our best interests made all the difference.
If you’re looking for a team that combines expertise, tenacity, and genuine care, look no further than Mike, Melanie and the team at Elevate Maine Realty. We cannot recommend them highly enough. They didn’t just help us buy a house—they helped us start a new chapter.
Samantha Pelletier
Michael and the Elevate Team got the job done. We were extremely particular on location of a house so the house hunt took a good amount of time. Looked at many homes. He was patient, thorough, knowledgeable, and just knew what he was doing. Always came prepared and nothing was a surprise come closing. Quick to respond to our many questions. Would absolutely use Elevate again.

We cannot recommend Michael Navarro highly enough! From the first step to the final walk-through, Michael was an incredible advocate and guide. He expertly managed all the complex and time-sensitive details, from ensuring we signed critical disclosures on time to navigating the high-pressure deadlines of the due diligence period. When we had questions about confusing closing costs, Michael didn't just guess—he gave us clear instructions on who to contact and what to ask for to get a full breakdown. His communication was constant and reassuring, especially when coordinating the final closing details like the walk-through and the cashier's check. Michael is patient, incredibly diligent, and truly cares about his clients. If you're looking for an agent who will fight for you and make the process smooth, choose Michael Navarro.

Michael and the Elevate Team are exceptional and extraordinary. Their focus is in establishing a long term relationship with their clients -not trying to simply score a commission. There is a level of trust that comes with this which makes them our valued partners with these large asset investments. As homeowners and investors we have completed 5 transactions with Michael in the last 5 years. He has personally been responsible for getting us a better price on each side of the sales table, and we are experienced buyers ! We have had “fixers” and we have had “showoff” homes, and he has always invested the same respect and energy for us and our properties regardless of the price point. We are also extremely impressed by their commitment to Maine and their community. Character counts and it carries over to all they do. You simply want Michael and Elevate on your team. Thanks Michael !!

I can’t recommend Michael Navarro and his team at Elevate Realty highly enough - they are absolutely the best. Whether you are a commercial, residential, 1031 exchange, first time or senior buyer (we have hit most of these categories ourselves with Elevate !!), choosing a realtor is the most important decision you can make for your real estate transaction. Attention to detail, experience, flexibility, sound feedback and property/financial recommendations along with the understanding are what they deliver in a friendly and professional manner. His networking and contacts are both extensive and TOP NOTCH, whether you are seeking financing, a water testing service, home inspector, etc. This is incredibly valuable and an extraordinary resource. I’ve had numerous realty transactions over the years and the pleasure of having Michael represent me as both buyer and seller, and I only wish he was available in other states !

Genevieve is a pleasure to work with. She is knowledgeable about the market and understands the nuances to getting a transaction done. Genevieve truly has the needs of her clients at the forefront of her approach and is committed to finding the right opportunity for the best outcome.

Where to even start!!!! (SUPER long story short) First off, 2 years ago I gave Mike and Melanie an unattainable task of selling my old home. Not only was this task completed, it was completed with unimaginable obstacles in the way. (miracle #1)
Now fast forward 2 years. I came upon some financial and personal issues, and I was at the end of my rope financial with my new house, that I loved. So again I called Mike and Melanie (my saviors). I said to them what EVERY realtor dreams of hearing, "I need you to sell my house". Well, for every realtor the response to that is simple, "OK".
That was not the response I got from Mike and Melanie. They responded with, "why"? So I explained the situation. They immediately put me in contact with Jason at CMG Mortgage. Selling was not the best case for my situation, refinancing was. So, as of yesterday, I alone, own the same house that I love for over $900.00 less per month that I was paying before.
On my ride home from the refinance closing yesterday A LOT hit me. I was feeling on top of the world and I realized one simple word had lead me to this path. "WHY?"
Elevate Maine Reality made $0.00, but they helped me out more then any dollar amount could. They threw out the business practice playbook and only used the humanity manuscript. That is a rare thing in this world and in this cutthroat occupation.
Every commercial out there for realtors says that they are the king of reality-and the king of selling. They can sell anything.
("Why be a king, when you can be a god" - Ellevate Maine Realty)
Is selling always really what you want? Even if you don't know it?
There are no words to explain the gratitude I have for Mike and Melanie and EVERYONE at Ellevate Maine Realty!!!!!!! Hands down the only compassion still left in this world of realty!

Genevieve was unfaltering in her dedication to finding me a home! She eased my anxiety about the process and was always available to answer my questions. Thanks Genevieve and Elevate!
Lael Powers
Genevieve was fantastic to work with. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions and uncertainty about the process. She walked me through everything and was very patient. I was also looking for a needle in a haystack and there was not a single house on the market in my budget in the exact location I wanted. Genevieve called in her connections and even made new connections for me, putting in tons of legwork to develop new leads. I couldn’t be happier with the level of service she provided!
Ben May
Michael Navarro and the team at Elevate Maine are terrific! Twice now we have placed our trust in him to sell our property, and he did a fantastic job each time. We highly recommend Elevate Maine for any real estate needs.
Emily Fidrych
Genevieve was fantastic to work with from start to finish. She was so responsive and went out of her way to make sure we saw the houses we wanted to see, she was a rockstar with helping us come up with offer strategies and she very quickly got on the same page as to what we were looking for and dealt with our picky and sometimes indecisive ways. Ultimately we ended up in a home that is perfect for our family and we couldn’t have done it without her!
