Even before moving to the Maine coast near Mount Desert Island, my wife and kids and I had already begun exploring the enchanting carriage Trails of Acadia National Park. Even ten years after moving to the area and finding all the other great places to ride, we still return to the park regularly. It's there for everyone to enjoy and we never tire of it. See our photos below and check out the Park's own website

First Time Home Buyers need GREAT mortgage brokers right now!!!

This is a hectic time in the market with the incentives being offered for first time homebuyers - and by hectic I mean there is a lot of confusion involved (more than the typical first time buyer transaction). I have found it incredibly important right now that my first time buyer clients work with a mortgage broker or banker that can walk them through the different scenarios that work best for them. I have dealt w/ some bankers right now who are not up to speed w/ the new incentives, and I'm sorry, in this market it is MOST important to be on the ball.

Experience, sensitivity and intelligence are the most important characteristics I tell my buyer clients while looking for bankers and mortgage brokers.

My wife and I went to a late July 4th gathering on Last Wednesday the 8th in a small community comprised of 19th century vacation cottages on the north end of Little Deer Isle offthe coast of Maine. For me the best feature was the old lighthouse in the view, situated on Pumpkin Island. The whole community was once only accessible by steamship and rail. Now you can drive across the Deer Isle Bridge that crosses the Eggemoggin Reach.

When I moved to Maine 35 years ago, it was mostly as a result of the books written by Helen and Scott Nearing. Since moving to the Mid Coast region a few years ago, I made the pilgrimage to the homestead that started it all in Brooksville, Maine. Now maintained by young and energetic stewards, this place is a shrine to the folks who inspired the "Back to the Land" movement of the '70s. If you are in the area, you must make a visit.
