Do you remember your first time?

(Bring up the Commodores "Brick House" song in the background please) and I gulped.

     Here I go..this is it. Not really worried about performance anxiety, I was ready. But this was the first time, solo, for all the marbles.

I knocked on the door and Mr. Varney answered with a smile.

     The owner said he picked me because I was new, wanted to give me a chance. He had just gotten new glasses and said he went to a brand spanking new doctor for the same reason. What was your first experience all about...the very first real estate listing you ever took? To start your career, to market and sell? No doubt you resold the same place as you stuck with the profession. This lake camp for $7500 was something we resold four times over the following 15 years. Multiple sales until the current owner indicated it would only be sold again when they took her feet first out of the back door. Hope the ambulance attendants have hiking books and know a little technical climbing skills though..this one was down over the bank...on the side of Drews Mountain in Linneus ME.

Maine REALTOR Andrew Mooers - Maine, We Have Serious Fun Here In "Vacationland".

Last night as I surfed the Direct TV channels, landed on a show featuring California real estate brokers.

I believe the statistic of only nine homes sold over a year of marketing in what was a swanky area around a Golden Triangle was batted around as a figure making everyone sober, humble, hungry.

     You could buy 20,000 acres of ground, of land in Maine for those kind of numbers. Maine..it's a whole lot less expensive, simple living for a change. Money is not the reason you move here..and you won't need to bring a lot. Maine, where you won't need a mortgage if you bail out of the expensive area you live now.

Maine..if you are looking for elbow to elbow crowded conditions..you won't find that here. Leave it all behind..run away to Maine..the way life should be.

Maine REALTOR Andrew Mooers - Slow down, start living..You're in Maine now.

Selling Maine real estate can be like a geography lesson at the same time.

The point is your real market is not the immediate area..it is worldwide. So your write ups, your videos, podcasts should have bits and pieces of the area weaved in to them. Don't assume everyone knows your area.

     History lesson is over for today (bell ringing, books being folded shut, chairs squealing as they get pushed back and scramble to next class starts). This English land buyerwho made two offers today, who has seen the videos, full splash propaganda on acreage said the prices are sooo much lower and properties so much larger here in Northern Maine. Have had other European land buyers exclaim the same observation as they kick real estate tires on this side of the Atlantic Ocean. Also, a three acre rolling lawn around a typical Maine farm would never be seen in England many report. That land is precious, would be growing vegetable and fruit to eat by the property owner. With  Aroostook County's 11 people per square mile (NJ is 1000, AK is 1), we have space, wildlife infested woods, unspoiled beauty and room to roam. That's what the overpopulated world is thirsty, hungry for. That's why local Maine community videois imperative to put Aroostook County on the map, to showcase the area, not just the property.

You've met folks at a company or business who are in another solar system..talking but not connecting.

A recall with another realtor.com rep named Crystal was night and day.

Northern Maine is relatively young.

Bordering Houlton Maine on the north is Littleton, on the west New Limerick and Ludlow and to the south, Hodgdon.
