Starting Over In Maine, Buying Property Listings To Regroup, Refocus.

When the Maine real estate property listing prices are low, like bees to honey, buyers take notice.

But what really turns up the volume for the hear, see, read all about Maine real estate (Extra Extra echo reverberates) is how unspoiled the simple living in Maine is.

Natural, four seasons and not over populated so not all commercialized.

A refreshing change for real estate buyers not so hand stand happy, not jumping up and down about where they live in an expensive urban area.

But often the cherry on top driving force to buying, relocate, retire in Maine for a real estate property purchase is it is a starting over period.

Some buyers lost their shirt, job, marriage and are regrouping. Looking for low cost to avoid debt. Wanting to live another way that is more dependent on themselves, being outdoors for home made no or low cost recreational fun. Instead of bright, shiny and expensive store bought living day to day.maine farm land photo

The refocus part of the motivation to buy properties, listings in Maine is a change, shift. That clicks inside. That makes an "aha" moment. The light bulb overhead to come on brightly. And not go out.

On what was important in life slowly coming around to a new level of clarity.

To a new understanding, level, maturity in what really matters most to a person.

And realizing where you are makes a big difference in how you come out, who you are, your quality of life.

Growing up happens at all ages right? We never leave school, are constantly learning in life.

Maine is the less cluttered place, more real, down to Earth and talk about drop dead gorgeous surroundings.

Anywhere you look, any season, for any reason, Maine tugs at your heart.

Come for a day, end up staying a lifetime. It happens over and over. And I love the job of being a matchmaker, of fully maine small town night photoexposing the uniqueness of every Maine real estate listing we market.

Increasing numbers of calls, emails, office visits have common themes from the move, relocation, retirement to Maine group. 

Not happy where they live now and something is missing are two tag team aches, haunting questions, situations that cause an itch to move to Maine.

 So before the "what's good for sale for property in Maine" questions start being asked, it's more "tell me about your area".

What's it like here in Vacationland can be summed up easy one Maine photo at a time. 

Uplug, recharge, experience the place with the space called Maine.

The way life should be, used to be other places on the third rock from the Sun. Watch, listen to our Maine real estate listing videos. Please visit the helpful links below for properties for sale in Maine too.
