maine: Almost Canadian...Only Miss It By A Mile And A Half...Okay To Join Group?
- 09/26/07 02:12 PM
My grandmother was 100 % Canadian, and with all the trips with two boys who played 98% of their hockey games over the last thirteen years in Canada, and being less than two miles from the border, is it okay to be part of the group? Heck I even drink Labatt's Blue (or is it Bleu?) and Molson Golden. Ski at Crabbe Mountiain in Upper Haynesville, New Brunswick and saw the movie Titanic in Fredericton when it came out. Toured Dalhousie in Halifax with one son who almost went there. Hope I don't get booted. Used to buy Clearly Canadian … (5 comments)

maine: Maine Small Claims Court Resolution...Not A Bad Way To Get It Resolved!
- 09/24/07 03:53 AM
Real estate brokers can find themselves in the middle of a deposit return squabble like wrestling with a Maine black bear over a jelly filled day old donut..when deal goes south. Both parties can get further entrenched with finger pointing and accusations that would make a pirate blush as time marches on and deposit is just sitting in a trust account. Some buyers and sellers go on and on thru court systems while Joe Broker who can not get a release of deposit signed off by both parties waits in the wings for mutual attorney instructions on what to do with the deposit. … (0 comments)

maine: Look Closely..(Squinting) Would You Call This Home Haunted?
- 09/14/07 01:24 PM
Horror writer Stephen King owns this West Broadway Bangor Maine home and has made a good living writing about the macabre. The iron fence with bats gives the place the Herman Munster look..something that has added to the mystique of King's writing. Would you think the home could be haunted? Would it add to the value if it was? Would it hurt a sale of the place you just listed if a home had the reputation of being infested with spirits from the other side? Would you add value for it? Listed anything lately or know of property in … (10 comments)

You've dreamed of owning a small farm. Retiring from your present job early. Getting up early, raising a few beef cows or horses, planting some strawberries or dry beans, or something to peddle at the local farmers market to make enough to pay the overhead. It is not the money you are after..it is the simple hardwork of good honest living that comes from growing or raising something. Like everyone did on the family farm that they grew up on back long before there were foot prints on the moon. If you have some extra cleared ground you plan to grow … (2 comments)

- 08/14/07 06:24 PM
As brokers out in the market prior to the sub prime derailment that is everywhere in the news now, it did not come as a surprise. As a broker...we had many situations where we list a home, find a buyer who is in the process of local financing but not completely thru....and then find out from banker, oooohhhh we have problems...can not make loan. Buyer goes to other local banks that have same banking guidelines for the most part and not a lot of giant risk takers on the lending level in conservative Northern Maine.
