The 4th of July in Houlton Maine is one special multi day celebration.So many volunteers because small towns have that kind of home made connection. Everyone has a role in the activities in the Houlton Maine 4th of July. It is more than a quick fireworks flash splash overhead. Way way more than just waving the red, white and blue and enjoying the heart of a Maine summer. The parade, Midnight Madness, agricultural fair all add to the celebration over the 4th of July in Southern Aroostook County. Being parked on the Canadian border means lots of International traffic to take in part or all of the Houlton Maine 4th of July events. We are all related to the folks waving the red maple leaf and the land of talented hocky players just a couple miles away.We hop the border lots through the year...

Eating up precious time and waiting, hanging around on the real estate home market.The need to know how long is this process going to take is huge for a Maine home buyer or seller. Because making everything time out right, dove tail correctly to fit a person's life means timing is key.But the exact moment in time to pick the day, place to sit down for the home sale paperwork dotting the "i's, crossing the t's". The Maine expression is "it is hard telling without knowing."It can leave everyone in the room hanging.Delayed, nerves becoming frayed.Feeling out of sorts.Antsy, jittery. Nervous in the service.Because of delays, set backs. In the steps taken or missing from listing to selling. Trying to close a home sale in Maine.That can really wear on a person needing to get from A to B in th...

In a city landscape, space is lacking or comes dearly.Lots of green stuff to peel off. Or having to sell a duplicate organ toyed with to buy even the smallest bit of the real estate elbow room.Maine is not like that.Not in the least. Where I live, 11 souls per square mile is the density... furry four legged neighbors out number the ones wearing a pair of sneakers.So Maine land, how about a big slice of property acreage? Large, cheap, wooded and with water. The recreational kind, not the boring but all essential eight glasses a day variety.Check out the road in, the video for 96 acres of Ludlow Maine land for sale. The Maine land for sale in the sweet $40's property listing price bracket is a value.If. You don't want neighbors, not need someone to holler across the picket fence to have a...

The new property listing hits the market, bells and whistles going off loudly.Much fanfare about the new real estate inventory addition during the honeymoon period. Made the agency office phone ring with inquiries, the email server to hum with a red glow of activity.But. If. Why. The real estate property listing did not get scheduled for a sit down closing.What went wrong?It becomes time to stop horsing around, putting a property owner's life on hold.When you are the second real estate agent or broker to be tapped to head to the mound.After the call to the bull pen for the warm up to loosen the pitching arm.The new real estate sign on the front lawn owner has the job of interviewing the seller. Touring the property and study of the deed, plat maps, and taking careful real estate notes. ...

Real estate sales can be highly emotional.People and their life situations good or bad is one reason. The process of list, market, sell (repeat) is another part of the breakdown. Even with a real estate professional watching the dials, adjusting the levers in a property listing sale.But.The distinction of the source of the disappointment and often unneeded delay.Things not shake and baking the way everyone in the real estate equation desires.There is the rub that can lead to personal attack in the frustration. When all eyes are on the real estate sign owner on the front lawn. Whoever planted the silent salesman. Rather than all out problem solving, settle down and stay calm. People are different in how they filter what is going on too. When they try to help it often backfires. And more ...

Most movies have happy endings. In real estate sales, not every property listing gets to the closing table.Life happens along the way. Pink slips from employers, too low credit scores and too high debt ratios combine to make real estate sales go south. To not even get off the ground. Death, disease, divorce can make a ME real estate deal go sideways too. When they occur right on schedule between the wanna buy, shoulda closed two step.The appraised value on a real estate  sale coming in too low.Of a property listing greased and on the skids ready to roll that does not get off the launch pad happens too.The list of fix this, replace that can be just too long.Too heavy to keep the real estate property sale afloat.And all the extra doodads adding onto the heavy drag down pressure of too man...

Nothing helps real estate agents, brokers more selling properties than experience with those niche listings.Farm properties, rural real estate and just land for sale in Maine is a big part of our operation. Not just cute capes, rambling ranches, very Victorian Queen Anne houses.

Before the 1900's over ninety per...

Sellers and real estate agents, brokers are partners in the list, market, sell. And input from sellers is welcomed. But sometimes the thinking is a little out of date for the marketing. Or just the property owner thinks this would be a wise approach when it is not. There is so much behind the scenes of the listing and marketing of a property. Dealing with banks, lawyers, appraisers, zoning officials and life wrinkles.The have to do this before that can happen in the real estate timing to get to the property closing on time.Reach more on "Like Using A Medical Procedure On The Real Estate From 1953".

In the movies, the G-rated ones, properties get listed, sold quickly.Like in a perfect World. But anyone that has done time in the real estate trenches knows there are lots of variables.That make a property listing for sale safely arrive at a sit down for a successful closing.We are dealing with the public with their set of needs and desires.Their own objections to get accomplished from planting the silent salesman sign on the front lawn.Markets in real estate shift too. Up, down, sidesways.Or pretty much steady as she goes.Depending on how many other just like your property listings are on the real estate cakewalk.The agent or broker in a real estate sale sets the expectations, navigates the process through bankers, lawyers, marketing to find buyers.But there is a reason for so many hi...

The best of intentions but never have been a seller of real estate.That situation requires a helping hand and guidance to get from listing a place. Navigating the way in the steady as she goes to make it to a real estate closing safe and sound. All in one piece.But.Like many things in life, doing what you think would help does not.Knowing enough to be dangerous means the sale of a piece of real estate is pretty involved, requires skill and experience.Beginners luck works in marbles at recess.Black jack down at the club.Spills over into a few other areas in a lifetime.But peoples emotions, the timing to make a move or not, is financing a place this price possible?Is everything really lined up and ready for a real estate sale to happen today?To begin the purchase and sale agreement proces...

Without land, it would be hard to build anything to live in.To call home sweet home. And in our small rural Northern Maine market, land is a bigger component in the real estate list, twist and sell. Than just serving as a ho hum sized lot to provide a basic front, side, rear yard. With just enough room for the improvements.Land in Maine is not always used for housing either.Not just for creating improvements on it for kids, families, people container single or multi family housing . No no.91% of Maine is trees everywhere you look as you do a couple 360 degree spins.Many forested, wooded tracts are "tree farmed", selectively cut and thinned.Manicured and weeded land in Maine.To make the Maine land with hard and softwood species a V-8 high performer property acreage.To grow just as fast a...

Maine is rural, all about country living, farm life.And when 8 out of 10 people live in a city, the teenie weenie, extra space to go with your home is not the norm. Not in the cards every hand. Maybe not even possible. Not because of a lack of enough money. Just because all the open farm land was sold off, gobbled up and that's all she wrote.That corn field is not 300 houses, a shopping mall, an interstate cloverleaf exchange. Sprawl happens along with the crime, traffic, noise and grime of all these people. That seem to be in one major chicken with their head cut off hurry to get someplace they are not.Examples of Maine farms for sale to consider for growing, raising food or critters, livestock, small animals. If you are looking, hunting, fishing, wanting to find a collection of farms ...

Maine is a small population big area state and the housing is low cost.So despite the thrifty nature of our residents to make do with what they have, the DIY to take it up a notch.The simple fact remains that all the low cost houses for sale in Maine make it cheaper often to make the big move. Cross town, out in the country or to a lake, something waterfront for a new pleasant boundary.Where your neighbor is more apt to be four legged, furry, not so talkative. Cheaper to replace than repair or modify to fit your situation in life is often the case on relocations, the move to and in, around Maine home circles.So a home for sale sign shows up and the marketing band starts up the chorus to attract the attention. For the pass the keys please at the real estate closing.(Those house keys are ...

If 57% of real estate buyers were holding portable devices to access your property listing, area information, you quickly realize the importance of mobile friendly websites.Google and the army of bots to search and elevate or push down in the ranks. Has issued the decree. Make it mobile friendly by the deadline of April 21st, yesterday. Or suffer the consequences people. Sobering. But pretty simple to swallow. If your website is not mobile friendly you are losing real estate property buying customers.Making it like NASCAR racing round and round.With all those left hand tight turns.At break your neck, gravity defying high speeds. Suddenly like someone pulled the plug. Yanked a vital  wire or two.With everything that was a blur around you  now winding down. Becoming much slower in your de...
