mooers realty me properties listings: Weather Forecasts, Clothes, Blogging, One Size Does Not Fit All. - 11/22/13 08:21 PM

You live in a unique real estate market and no two are the same like the communities the property listings are in. Just like one local weather forecast, one size of clothes don't fit all in the audience, real estate post blogging is the same way.
The local blogging, media stream hunt and peck approach has to be tailor made to the community you live in to accurately convey the flavor of it. With each post not a copy and paste. Not a cover or clone of how another blogger covers his local area like a community cub reporter.

mooers realty me properties listings: Creative But Illegal Ways To Speed Up The Tenant Evictions Process. - 08/20/13 03:24 AM

The tenant, renter of the property listing is not paying their agreed upon lease amount. And frustration builds. Smoke starts to pour out the pair of ears of your property owner. Who decides that's it. Had enough. Taking the law into their own hands without the posse and rope. Looking for a strong tree limb.
Two ways I have seen the process handled that is totally illegal but worked, effective for evictions, for lost rent collected suddenly. First, the shop keeper's door is removed by the landlord, owner. Whoa. The tenants says hey, where are you going with my door?

mooers realty me properties listings: As Property Price Tags Head Higher, The Number Of Players Increase. - 08/09/13 01:58 AM

The number of zero places in the property listing price makes the real estate process differ greatly. Low cost and local used to be the norm for all pretty much small town rural real estate.
And life was simple, good, easy.
One agent or broker, no home inspector because you the buyer were pretty savvy with the hammer, nail, crow bar.
You relied on Uncle Bob the plumber for the what's what walk through what do you think. Ditto on wiring from your Dad nicknamed Sparky.

Land in Maine for sale, how big a piece do you need? Recreational land for sale in Maine is something to look forward to when in the middle of a fast paced day of chasing the dollar in the concrete jungle.
Unfortunately eight out of ten people live in an urban area, a city. But to keep their sanity and for eventual retirement, land in Maine seems pretty special.

When real estate marketing was pretty much spear a sign in the front lawn, shoot and peel off a few black and white Polaroids and try to write a couple sentences to introduce, distinguish the property, open houses clicked. In some markets, setting up a two hour span of time, blocked off on Saturday or Sunday for just the show and tell of one new property listing worked well. In others, it was time spent doing other tasks you brought along because it was feast or famine on the next two hours. Despite how much promotion, arm twisting, marketing going in … (5 comments)

Channel surfing, happens to real estate blog posters except no TV wand held high, waved to see what's good on to graze, digest, feed on. What's playing on your other channels, the other platforms you blog on to achieve different purposes?

Before plopping down in the booth. Or sliding up on to a pub stool, opening a menu and

Back in the early 1980's, the Maine real estate property listings we took required a write up, an advertising insertion in the Boston Globe, Hartford Courant, New York Times, Wall Street Journal. Then watch the phone.
