maine real estate: Less Real Estate Salesman, More Listener, Property Matchmaker To Find The Glass Slipper Fit. - 04/21/12 07:56 AM
A good salesman does not wear too small plaid jackets, use smoke and glass tricks to arm twist and manipulate. A Maine real estate salesman is more of a matchmaker that starts by listening first.
Then depending on the needs, size of the wallet the buyer is sitting on, their horsepower to purchase, starts suggesting this, this or this one. And weaves the comments, reactions in to the next suggestion until the property "glass slippers". Sells itself because the Maine real estate property listing just fits. Works, is what is needed for the situation, expectations. Listening and understanding the desires, expectations … (3 comments)

maine real estate: It May Be That Way Where You Are, But You Are Not Talking The Maine Real Estate Market. - 03/30/12 03:43 AM
Five Maine real estate property listing closings today. When I read about markets where the blogger, reporter states how dire it is, I worry about the public getting the impression that broad brush statement wears well, applies to the entire country.
It does not.
When you try to compare a market where $400,000 plus is the house price norm for the single family residence to one where $71,000 is the median price, a square hole with round peg situation happens.
And when the owner of a home with lots of zero places in the price tag or mortgage loses his job, … (9 comments)

maine real estate: There's A Real Live Person Not Robot Wearing That REALTOR Blue And Gold "R" Right? - 03/13/12 03:39 AM
Transparency helps if there is something real, honest, genuine behind the Maine real estate agent, broker that a property buyer, seller can relate with.
Connection, engagement with other people, to begin a relationship.
Like starting a conversation and learning who the cat on the other end is and what you have in common.
Our MeInMaine blog post on open house porches this morning.
Surface relationships are not nearly as helpful as deeper, richer from the heart communication with the Maine real estate buyer, seller too. It's not the sticks and bricks alone in our job as a Maine real estate … (7 comments)

maine real estate: Maine Real Estate Property Owners, It's Not Just About Top Dollar For The Listing. - 11/19/11 12:37 PM
Picture a Maine farm, waterfront property or Victorian house that you a real estate owner, seller has spent plenty of time, money to make pristine. Story book pretty with the picket fence, groomed grounds but it is time to sell the Maine real estate.
The property listing buyer laying down the money, the amount spelled out on the promotional material for the Maine real estate does not have to be the top bidder.
Money, top dollar is not the end all with the Maine real estate seller, owner.

Ever get a call about real estate, a property you just listed and the guy or gal on the other end is pumping you with questions in rapid fire progression like a teletype? And you like slaloming down a Maine fresh powder ski slope are weaving in and out of the questions.
Getting a good workout of your knowledge on the property listing, the local area too.
And then a voice in the background becomes louder, more agitated, persistent.
You can tell, see, sense the just answered question the other part of the real estate buying couple is wanting addressed.

maine real estate: (Bang Bang) You See, Hit Your Maine Real Estate Target. - 11/07/11 06:50 PM
The days of rolling in the one big howitzer to real estate advertise, promote a new property listing are long gone. The audience for real estate is not all chocolate and vanilla only. Don't think so?
Think about how many coffee types there are, how many musical genres, artists, songs your kids download on their ipods. Not only a few channels beamed in to your TV home theatre and no more rabbit ears for reception of signals needed. Selection, choice, variety and your own personal preference to show your individual taste applies to real estate, everything.

Delivery of the Maine real estate information is done in lots of ways to reach all the property buying audience segments. But inside each group there are different preferences to fine tune the process of Maine real estate information delivery even more. I am a big believer in stocking the Maine property listing shelves.
So any hour of the day or night, no matter what zip code, time zone, the real estate buyer can start grazing. Munching on local area community details to sample the flavor of where I live, work and play. And to actually one by one try on … (0 comments)

maine real estate: Rock, Paper... Er Maine Real Estate Warranty Deed? - 10/18/11 09:40 AM
Moms and Dads, Gramps and Grams know a little about everything as life rolls along and deeds to properties, they drill in to your head to make sure to get a Maine warranty real estate deed.
Along the lines of "don't take any wooden nickels" or "buy low sell high", "brush your teeth and say your prayers".
Wicked important but not really explaining the whole story on property deeds to Maine real estate.

Getting to the real estate closing after the ink begins to dry on the purchase and sale agreement just signed for your Maine home.
All the careful listing, full throttle marketing of the property has paid off. There stands a sign out front telling the world this baby is "under contract".
Or two other words to say almost sold with a "sale pending" rider screwed on the top of the sign in your colors and font style.
But.

Even though every one has the best of real estate buying, selling intentions.
Full of planning excitement for the house warming … (8 comments)

maine real estate: The Maine Real Estate Buyer From Bryant Pond Area Whines New Transplants Complain About His Cows, Farm Animals. - 09/15/11 09:49 AM
The farming community in Southern Maine may be too close to the Boston Massachusetts real estate buyer.
And those areas of Maine may get flooded with real estate buyers who are attracted to farming, rural areas for their property listing purchase.
But then the fun starts when they get on planning boards, serving on local groups to crank up the spending for unneeded items.
The philosophy that we need a 7.2 million dollar Maine muncipal building for police, fire, administration makes me wonder what about putting a $100,000 for new handicap access, a front face lift and new lobby and call … (0 comments)

maine real estate: "Hey You Can't Park On That Lawn" Ever Happen To You On A Property With Personal History? - 09/06/11 05:19 PM
As a kid I mowed a lawn at a property that was neat as a pin in Houlton Maine. The older couple built the home, were particular and fussy about its upkeep and maintenace. Said in a nice, good way. They worked hard for what they had. Took care of it. But now they are gone. Age has a way of leading up to that.
And the new owners of the property in Houlton Maine are parking on the lawn.
The place is being lived in and not maintained the same level of Mister Roger's perfection standards.
