“Financing with Confidence: Navigating Interest Rates and Lending in Maine with Greg Dauphinee”
In this episode of Elegant Maine Living, I sit down with Greg Dauphinee, Vice President and Senior Loan Officer at Androscoggin Bank, to discuss financing options in today’s real estate market and how buyers—particularly those not purchasing with cash—can still be competitive in Maine’s dynamic housing environment.
With over 24 years of experience and an impressive track record of service, Greg brings both data and heart to this conversation. We explore:
- The current interest rate landscape and how it’s affecting buyers at all price points
- How out-of-state buyers are impacting local affordability
- Why strong public schools, community, and lifestyle continue to drive value
- Tips for setting smart expectations during the loan process
- How to tailor financing strategy to your personality, timeline, and needs
Greg also shares his fascinating background as a U.S. Navy rescue swimmer and how that experience shaped his methodical, high-integrity approach to client service.
This is a must-listen for buyers, sellers, and anyone curious about how lending fits into Maine’s evolving real estate story.
