mooers realty 04730: Bank Interest Rates Up Or Down Importance Depends On The Number Of Zeros In The Real Estate Sale Price. - 12/29/09 09:14 AM
When you consider a mortgage on a home costing $329,900, whether the interest rate is a quarter percent either way is a big deal. But in Northern Maine when the mortgage you are shopping for is $32,900, whether the rate is a quarter percent higher or lower is not as critical as a banker thinks. For Houlton Maine financial options, there are six primary banks and a credit union on the local level. And at local Rotary meetings or about town, when you run in to a banker, they seem excited if the rate is an eighth of a percent … (0 comments)

mooers realty 04730: Merry Christmas With A Song, In A Church That Puts You In The Season. - 12/25/09 08:33 AM
The reason for the season. Merry Christmas everyone. Remember your family traditions, the midnight Christmas Eve services, making the food goodies, the visiting shut ins carolling, the ringing the Salvation Army bell for local charities and families with far less this holiday. Church hymns, music with your friends, family and local community decorated in red, green, gold finery. Instead of feeling the loss of loved ones passed on, recall the magic of when they were here and pass on that spark, that spirit of Christmas. Remember our veterans around the world dreaming of next Christmas. Think of families seperated, split trying … (4 comments)

mooers realty 04730: Maine Real Estate... The Best Blue Chip Egg In The Investment Basket. - 12/19/09 06:27 AM
Can you hear Maine lake loons calling, crying, communicating from any of your investments ? Nest eggs, carefully thought out investments, retirement funds, saving CD's for a rainy day. Creating a little wealth to pass on to the next generation or to sleep better nights knowing you have money for groceries next week, and week after that. It's good to be diversified...and not have all your eggs in one basket. Or to have the eggs all be the same kind of "value eggs". Stocks where the CEO stubs his toe, gets huge bonuses whether his yearly performance was stellar or bleak.

mooers realty 04730: It's 11 O'Clock At Night And Do You Know Where Your Real Estate Videos Are? - 12/10/09 05:15 PM
I'll tell you where your real estate videos are..being watched at an airport where a potential buyer has a few hours to kill between flights. During his airport wait, he checks out six of your Maine waterfront real estate listings. And he watches five of your local community Maine videos because he has never ever been to your area. So you shoot, capture, edit and post videos to fill in the blanks. Give him the information he needs to make the trip to kick some real estate tires in your area.
Without the videos, you look pretty much like … (4 comments)

mooers realty 04730: Video... Still Images That Have Breath Injected In To Them. - 12/04/09 08:16 PM
Real estate video is not trapped or locked in time. Still images are captured glimpses. Video is hot, real time and a series of glimpses for continuous sensory stimulation. Real estate video transports the viewer to the community you live in. Video makes the connection, opens the line for the viewer and listener to meet you. See your smile, hear your voice, start a relationship. Video shows the property inside and out, what is around it.
If you were looking for property or information about an area, would you rather have some thrown together copy to read and a … (0 comments)

mooers realty 04730: (Dictated) "The Weather Was Sunny, 39 Degrees, Subject Property Is A Classic Cape..." - 11/30/09 04:57 PM
The autopsy...I mean home inspections done that you have run in to in your real estate travels. Are they mixed, varied or very similiar? Had a Maine real estate closing today and the buyer commented on the home inspection. His last one he said the inspector went over the top with detail but more important what he is looking at doing in five years, how to do it and approximate costs. Have you seen home inspections where whether a Ground Fault Interuptor (GFI) electric outlet is noted or not, and little details on a cracked single pane window in the … (2 comments)

mooers realty 04730: Real Estate...You Know Your Local Area Inside Out But Pick Another Planet, State, Town Or City. - 11/29/09 08:41 AM
Today, make believe you are thinking of relocating, buying real estate in another state five states away. Do a real estate search for property and what comes up? How are agents and real estate brokers in that area showcasing their property?
What is different about the approach...how the real estate herd in that area operates? What is the "feel" of the marketing and do you see the agent, the area being promoted too or just the sticks and bricks.
Finding another area on line to do a tour, to see an entirely different way to market or surprisingly a … (1 comments)

mooers realty 04730: English Tudor Design Home In Houlton Maine...They Made One, Broke The Mold. - 11/16/09 10:57 AM
Most Americans don't like to drive the same car, or have the same hairdo or color because they are special, different and just want something unique. Why? They are worth it, and Madison Avenue marketing feeds on that "you work hard, deserve the best" logic. I'm not going to do that. Because this is the only one of its kind we have to sell.
If you are cranked up to own an English Tudor design home in Northern Maine, this is the only one. It's a real estate musical chair. When it is sold, that's it. Kaput. This 100 … (3 comments)

mooers realty 04730: Real Estate Closing...More Monkey Wrenches Thrown In To Mess Up The Gears! - 03/26/09 02:21 PM
Just got out of a Bangor Savings Bank /Gateway Title seminar here in Houlton ME on title insurance issues and new tighter bank regulations for appraisals, approvals, mortgage insurance,etc. Probate, divorce, added documentation checks, subdivision questions...all effect the title, insurability and ultimate financing operation by any bank. If you thought a thirty day turn around time with a bank loan would be getting even faster, think again. Banks are not doing closings thru their drive thrus. If you thought trying to do things with lines of credit and juggling properties thru a commercial product reduced paperwork and reduced sharp edge programs, … (0 comments)

mooers realty 04730: Active Rain And Comic Strips... Similiar Approach. - 03/20/09 11:24 AM
Every morning, you have your routine. Alarm. Feed crying cat. Make coffee. Get kids fed as they wander one by one down to the kitchen. Turn on XM, get paper, scan and hit the last thing, the comics. Drink two cups of the brown stuff during the process. Watch the clock, hop in the shower at about the same time and then like the Jetson's, whirl off to work on the beltway. (I am lucky, 32 foot trip from home to office other than summers when the trek is nine miles to a lake home.)
The funnies. The … (2 comments)

mooers realty 04730: Turn You Head And Cough. Checking Your Real Estate Inventory's Health. - 03/19/09 08:55 AM
Hop up on that table, roll up your sleeve, tell me about your real estate inventory history. Bloated listing prices? Images from two seasons ago with unflattering snow, a dooryard full of cars or over cast day, dark images? Skimpy write ups lacking pizzazz part of the symptoms too? Ah huh. Okay.
As a pro, full time real estate broker what would a check up of your real estate inventory show for vital signs? Anemic, lacking certains types of listings? Obese, sluggish and loaded with others that are not that much in demand these days? Does the inventory fit the market conditions … (3 comments)

mooers realty 04730: Ever Been A Judge At A High School Event, Like A Science Fair? - 03/17/09 10:29 PM
All kinds of projects, various themes, different directions. Excited kids, noisy gym, lots of teachers, many judges. This is small town and fun. And you know the students, some were on your little league team, others had brothers or sisters that had been friends with your older or younger kids. Maine communities. The whole village raises your kids, or guides them. Watch the video, a community look that gives you an idea of the kids, respectful, excited, inquizative. As a Maine real estate broker, these community videos need to be inter-weaved in among your homes, land, farms, waterfront offerings. Because after … (0 comments)

mooers realty 04730: Who Says Bloggers Are Not Real Journalists Or To Be Taken Seriously? - 03/13/09 06:03 AM
The more I think about the statement "bloggers are not real journalists", I think the statement speaks volumes. Bloggers are real people out in every corner of the country or world for that matter. Whatever your passion, be it your family, home town, profession, hobbies, your life, you give and can receive first hand information on a personal, reality level. It is genuine, heart felt writing. Maybe not the most polished, sometimes written on the run from a fleeting idea, but it is a posted conversation or philosophy or even rant that is real. Not spun, not for political gain, … (6 comments)

mooers realty 04730: How Do You Spell Local Pride? Maine High School Sport Videos Nail It For Me. - 02/19/09 08:00 AM
Small town living where you know your neighbor, you see them at local church suppers, area community events and when the hometown team makes it to the play offs. In Maine, February school vacation is a time when if your team worked hard enough, it made the cut to head to the tournament. In the case of Eastern Maine, the Bangor Auditorium becomes home for families, players, coaches, fans. The entire area is behind their atheletes..you see signs along the interstate 95 on the ride down rooting for this or that Aroostook County team. Playing on the Bangor Auditorium floor is … (0 comments)

mooers realty 04730: How To Avoid Increasing Your Odds For Early Death By 4 Times After A Heart Attack. - 02/17/09 08:32 AM
300 heart attack survivors found that folks in this Belgian study who held in negative emotions rather than speaking more freely were four times as likely to die within six to 10 years after their heart attacks. Researchers deduced that emotionally unexpressive types experience greater stress causing artery spasms and increasing blood clot tendency. 80& of our aging process can be attributed to our attitudes and expectations. How you react to a problem is more important sometimes than the problem that becomes bigger than life and twice as frightening. You hear the expression, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger". … (1 comments)

mooers realty 04730: Have Fun! Hop On A Maine Snow Sled, See The Heart Of "Vacationland"! - 02/10/09 10:19 PM
You've never been on a snowsled. You have not down hill skied much. You think both will be cold..and a dark gloomy experience. On the contrary, you will see sunsets on top of a mountain, deer, moose, and lots of tracks of the inhabitants of forest and wildnerness lakes whether you are on a snowsled or on skis. You get to places you can not access by car as there are no roads in the middle of unorganized townships in Aroostook County. Round up your friends, plan your trip, rid yourself of winter cabin fever. Bring the whole family and … (0 comments)

See if this sounds like fun? You are sitting on a hill with your friends snowsledding on a sunny, clear blue sky winter day in Maine. A bald eagle flies over searching for lunch, a red fox crosses the trail in front of you and is on a mission...not even looking your way. He has a date, is heading to a prime hunting area or in search of water from the nearby river you can hear in the distance with a water falls you just left, stop the machines to step off and enjoy the beauty. of.
