I’ve worked with Mindy on several land acquisitions across Maine and she has been so helpful every step of the way. Mindy treated every transaction with professionalism, care, and attention to detail regardless of the size of the deal. She guided me through negotiations, title work, and financing with patience and expertise, always making sure I understood the process and felt supported.

I’d recommend Mindy to anyone looking to buy or sell property. She’s incredibly responsive, professional, and invested in helping her clients succeed.

Courtney and Dan were very helpful to both of us during this process. Any questions we had were answered within a timely manner. I recommend this team for anything and everything! Thank you so much for helping us find our first home!

Brittany was very helpful to us as we searched for a new home. We came from out of state, and we found her to be very knowledgeable about both the area and local reputable contractors. She was great at answering our calls and responding to texts. We would definitely recommend her to others.

Tracy was an outstanding real estate agent to work with. She was very personable, easy to talk to, and always available whenever I had questions. She really took the time to understand what we were looking for and helped us find the perfect home that fit our needs. Tracy was great at listening to our input and guiding us toward the right house. The entire process went smoothly and quicker than we expected, thanks to her dedication and professionalism. I would highly recommend Tracy to anyone looking to buy or sell a home—she truly made the experience a positive one.

We used Mindy when relocating to Madawaska from southern Maine. She was very understanding of what we were looking for in our new home and showed us several properties in our desired area. She took the time to make sure what she showed us met our needs and wants. We found our new home and Mindy was the listing agent for a client relocating to the next town over. She worked with both clients to get us all what we wanted and needed. She’s a wonderful agent and we would definitely use her if in the market again.

Mindy is such a a great person! She went way above to help me purchase my home. She was very helpful with every thing that came up on the way. She always returned my messages right away. I recommend her to all those who are looking to buy or sell their home. Looking for personal assistant she is the one to go with. Thank you Mindy for all you help.

Tracy was incredibly patient and well informed. I knew nothing about the home buying process, but Tracy educated me and helped me get into my first home. I cannot thank her enough!

When I decided that I was going to sell a property, I had a handful of questions and concerns which one being who was the right agent to list the property with. Well I can tell you hands down that I chose the right one! Working with Dan and the NextHome family was so smooth and moved along so quickly! During the whole process I was kept up to date on how things were moving along and at what stage in the process we were at. This was an extremely enjoyable experience, and I highly recommend there services to anyone looking to sell any type of property. Thank you very much NextHome!

Tracy Ostlund represents the very BEST of Professional Real Estate agents. Tracy knows the local real estate market very well and brought in credible/qualified buyers which resulted in our house going under contract in lass then a week from the date listed. She guided us through the entire process, answered all our questions and tracked the entire process to closing. Thank you Tracy!

Selling a home can be stressful, but working with Dan and Courtney of Team Castle made the entire process smooth from start to finish. They were able to help me price my home competitively and clearly had a deep understanding of the local market.
Communication was always prompt and clear, Dan and Courtney kept me informed every step of the way. They allowed me to go at my own pace to list my home and gave useful feedback negotiating offers, I always felt I was in good hands.
I couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Team Castle to anyone looking to sell their home!

Working with Dan and Courtney Castle at NextHome Discover was fantastic. From the very beginning, the way they explained the purchase and sale agreement was top-notch—clear, easy to follow, and done through video, texts, and calls so it fit into my schedule without any hassle.

At one point, I reached out last minute to see a few houses, and instead of brushing it off, they dropped everything and spent the entire day showing us multiple properties. They absolutely didn’t have to do that, but it showed just how committed they are to their clients.

Their knowledge of the property and the process was incredibly helpful, and they made sure all my questions were answered and everything lined up the way it should. Their responsiveness was unreal—I never felt like I was waiting for answers or left in the dark.

What really stood out was how much stress they took off my plate. They coordinated directly with my mortgage lender, inspection team, and insurance agent, handling the back-and-forth so I didn’t have to. That level of service made the whole experience so much easier.

All in all, Dan and Courtney turned what could have been a stressful process into something smooth, straightforward, and even enjoyable. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Mindy did an excellent job selling our home! She was easy to work with and our home sold quickly. We have also purchased a home from Mindy before and that too was a great experience. Definitely recommend Mindy for selling or buying a home!

I would like to thank Dan Castle at Next Home realty for the excellent service we received. Selling my father's home was difficult as we lived far away. Dan made the process so much easier than I could have imagined. He was courteous, knowledgeable about the housing market, and accessible for our questions or concerns. I highly recommend Dan and his team if you are thinking of buying or selling a home.

I had an excellent experience working with Brian while selling a very unique piece of property. Brian was available 7 days a week and messaged me daily/weekly keeping me informed on interested buyers. I would highly recommend Brian for a sale or purchase of property.

I had an excellent experience working with Tracy Ostlund. She made it easy to view a remote camp; organizing the logistics and even getting me on a boat to cross the lake so I could properly evaluate the property. Beyond the showing, Tracy provided thoughtful recommendations for builders and contractors, as well as introductions to a bank and an insurance company. Her local knowledge, responsiveness, and follow-through gave me real confidence, and I fully expect she’ll be a valuable resource as I get settled over the next year.

Over the past year I've worked with a couple different realtors. Mindy was the only one that made me feel like she genuinely wanted to help my family find a new home. Other realtors I worked with were only interested in getting a commission, and didn't particularly care if the house was a good fit or not. Just last week we closed on a new home and couldn't be happier. Thank you Mindy for your patience, your honest opinions, and for being right on top of the whole process. If you're looking for a place to call your next home, your next phone call should be to Mindy. She'll definitely help you out.

We can't say enough great things about Mindy! From the very beginning of the home-buying process, she was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us find the perfect home.
What truly stood out was her responsiveness and attention to detail. No question went unanswered ( no matter the time or day), no concern was too small, and every step was handled with care and expertise. She was always very thorough and made us feel confident in every decision.
Thanks to Mindy, we found a home we absolutely love. We’re beyond grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.

We enjoyed working with Tracy. She was quick to respond to our questions and made our buying experience enjoyable

Mindy did an excellent job handling the buy side for us in Madawaska Maine. We moved almost 950 miles round trip from Southern NH. We would absolutely seek her out for future Real Estate needs.

From the start of the process, it felt like the whole Castle team was on my side, and had a personal connection with me and my property. They were very thorough, and diligent in all of their work, and their recommendations provided to me, showed the years of experience they have acquired, without forcing me in to decisions I was not comfortable with. Their process and marketing plans were spot on, and very effective in this day and age. They kept me in the loop for every little detail and made sure I was aware of any problems or changes that may have arisen during this difficult process. They understood my position, and were very sensitive to my needs as a widower. The communication was excellent, always answering any questions I had within minutes. I would recommend them without hesitation. There is a reason why I went with them, and you will realize that to, if you follow suit.

Mindy was exceptional. She was patient, informative, and quickly responded to questions. She was able to sell our house quickly and made the whole process painless.

Tracy was very professional and extremely honest. We enjoyed her humor and wish more people in this profession would be this much fun to work with !

Dan and Courtney did a great job researching properties comparable to ours and the local market itself, recommending a listing price that far exceeded our own guesstimate while prompting multiple bids and resulting in a quick sale. Their skilled advertising effort drew lots of buyer attention across multiple platforms with an accurate and appealing portrait of our home. They were accessible and responsive throughout the process. Highly recommend!

Mrs. Tracy Ostlund did a great job selling my property back in 2022 and again she went above and beyond in selling our place in July 2025. I Highly Recommend her. Thank Tracy.
