All Maine real estate agents, brokers, REALTORS are the same right? No...each real estate agent, broker has different sets of skills unique to their market. In a small rural market like northern Maine where there are 11 people per square mile, the day to day routine is different than a broker in a city with wall to wall brokers and a myriad of transactions. In rural Maine, our prices are much lower, people don't lock doors, more smaller commission sales. Unspoiled scenery and what life's like in Aroostook County and its real estate market. Affordable property listings, no crime, no traffic, just wildlife, friendly people, fresh air, clean water. Ready to start the dream? Maine, the way life should be.

Maine waterfront properties, if someone is not having fun at a lake there is something seriously out of whack. The talks in front of a camp fire nightly. While lake loons and the sound of water lapping on the shore serenades, relaxes. As boats with green and red marker lights slowly drift by. On...

Not every ME property listing is drop dead gorgeous, squeaky clean, the cat's meow. Some have ten foot pole marks on them. All over them. But the art of seeing the features that do shine when you look a little deeper is the role of the marketer of the sticks and bricks. Or just land that is price...
