About Doug Schauf: I began working as a licensed real estate agent in 2011 and am currently a Realtor with RE/MAX Oceanside in Cape Elizabeth, a gorgeous seaside suburb of Portland, Maine. One of my greatest real estate professional strengths is taking my clients’ ideas, thoughts, and concerns seriously. Buying or selling a house is one of the biggest decisions we make in life, so I must understand exactly what you want from the process. When you become my client, I will take the time to talk to you and get to know you personally so that I can provide the best experience possible. I have over 20 years of experience in the home improvement and remodeling industry. Years of experience in sales and marketing and an online blog and podcast at: www.MakeMaineYourHome.com. As a Southern Maine resident, I know the importance of having a strong commitment to my community and clients. My number one goal is to help you each step of the way. With a strong focus on technology, customer service, and diligence, I can get your home seen by targeted buyers who are ready to buy yours. Since 1994, I have worked in Maine's real estate, construction, and renovation industries. So I am here to answer every question you have and be there through each step of the process. When I'm not helping clients like you I am exploring Maine with my wife and three children, playing hockey, or volunteering in my community!
