Maine is four season living and winter offers lots of outdoor recreational options like snowsledding, ice fishing, down hill and cross country skiing. If you think Mainers hibernate in the winter, spend this season on the couch, whoa, nothing could be further from the truth.
We hammered out a post, blogged about it on our sister channel, the MeInMaine blog platform today.
Watch a Maine video that shows what a typical winter weekend entails getting outdoors to fill our lungs with fresh air.
Other fun outdoor winter recreation options in Maine to consider too! Here is another Maine video below to watch.

- 10/11/11 12:34 AM
The day to day fun and games of real estate marketing and new ways to deliver, connect, engage John and Sue Q Public learned, skills honed and sharpened here on the Active Rain campus. All well and good as we hunt and peck, assemble the recycled real estate electrons to share some wisdom or ask for help.
But as you tool out of the AR sandbox, leave the safety of the four platform walls, isn't it neat to bump in to colleagues you met here first?

mooers realty: The New Maine Home Real Estate Listing Has A Dog, Working On A Case Of COPD.
- 09/18/11 01:48 AM
The little dog had on a sweater during the showing of a new Maine real estate home listing yesterday and his eyes telegraphed, signalled "please take me with you when you leave." The owner of the Maine property listing is a very nice elderly lady and a professional smoker. Not just enjoying one cigarette and then taking a break before lighting up another later on in the hour. But continuous. Burning like incense so not always in your hand and actively smoked, inhaled. But parked by her chair as we listed the place and are now showing it to prospective Maine … (5 comments)

mooers realty: (Police Radio Squawk Box Static) "What Did The Missing Real Estate Property Listing Look Like Ma'am?"
- 09/16/11 02:08 AM
The caller reporting the missing real estate property listing did not say anything for the longest time. "Ma'am, anything you can share, tell us about the real estate property listing so we can put out an All Points Bulletin to track it down, locate it?"
The real estate caller still hemmed and hawed. Because there was so little posted about the listing that had caught his interest.
But that did not provide much to help the police identify it.
"To be honest with you officer, it only had a couple pictures and not very good ones.
There was a bright eerie haze, … (7 comments)

- 09/09/11 12:37 AM
When you are heading down the real estate information media stream, it is a good idea to lash your property listing boat to others paddling, along for the same ride.

To soar higher on front page search engine front page indexes.

When people of all ages where you live are friendly, when the Maine real estate is low cost and easy to own, life is easier. Oh sure we work hard for the money we earn but there is a sense of connection, community.
Where others reach out to help and you do likewise. It's neat to live in Maine where everyone waves.

Maine's top three biggest lakes are pretty much located nicely spaced around this largest New England state almost in Canada. Vacationland's Moosehead, Sebago and East Grand Lakes are the top three biggest Maine lakes.
If you have sampled Maine's waterfront, one of the three largest lakes, Moosehead, Sebago, East Grand Lakes, you know the sheer size and vast receational options year round waiting for you to revisit.
If you have not checked them or any Maine lake out, or the oceanfront coast line the Pine Tree State is famous for, maybe it's time, you are way way over due.

mooers realty: WARNING: Don't Let One Comment From A ME Real Estate Buyer Throw The Seller In To Hot Boiling Water.
- 08/26/11 12:44 AM
The seller, owner of the Maine real estate is some kind of anxious to load up the moving van, get relocated, to high tail it down the highway. Their life has taken a job promotion twist and the Mom, Dad, kids are wanted elsewhere. A new home down country, out west, overseas, wherever. So in the sale of the home you have listed, feedback is given, on a regular basis.
When you can get it, gain a reading from the folks that wander through the house listing.

- 08/25/11 12:31 AM
As you mingle, casually mix and circulate around the Active Rain real estate blog post circles, you hear a common murmur, whisper. Focus on more customers, lead generation is part of the buzz.
And probably a little too much watching what others in your real estate market do and same old same old duplication.
When if you lifted your head, cranked it 360 degrees, you would find a clear path for more trips to the real estate closing long conference table in your market.
The direction and course not many or any are on.

mooers realty: On The Street, On Line, Over The Phone, At The Maine Real Estate Office, Asked "What's A Deal?"
- 07/08/11 09:38 AM
A Maine real estate agent, broker, REALTOR does an admirable job stocking the property listing shelves with something for every one. Just like Santa with the big sack.
Same routine of not trying to sell property from an empty wagon, sleigh, MLS, whatever cookie jar the industry is using to supply the demand across the board.
But even though the real estate websites are set up for folks not black belt in Internet surfing skills, simple and easy, we often get a call, visit, email that asks "what is a good deal right now?" The buyer is either in a hurry, … (3 comments)

The survey of the Active Rain group to see the regional differences, trends as a body of 210,325 would be an interesting, revealing, powerful, valuable guide or reference. A few weeks back Active Rain did a survey but not about the habits and methods used that work in the individual real estate markets served, represented on this platform.
Do you think a survey that spelled out the percentages on equipment used, where advertising and marketing dollars are spent and why would be a valuable tool?
