Personal Branding in Real Estate
I made a commitment in 2010 to help by clients get to know who I am and why I do what I do for a living. Like many top real estate agents, the tools and systems are similiar. So how does someone choose their agent? I think they do it by evaulating your skills and experience and who you are as a person. People want to do business with people they like. As a result I’ve spent months creating a personal brochure that will hopefully help prospective clients get to know me better…i just hope they like me!
Mortgage Affiliations
The real esate business has always been about relationships. Great relationships with clients and great relationships with service providers agents use to service their clients. Meservier & Associates at Keller Williams Mid Maine offers exclusive mortgage relationships with Approved Home Mortgage and Reliant Mortgage. These personal relationships with these lenders enhance our ability to serve our clients at a much higher level. We’re continuing to expand these opportunities too!

Move-Down Buyers Can Be Eligible For Tax Credit Too
Sue Meservier’s Real Estate Update
Move up, move down, move sideways; it just doesn’t matter. Whichever direction you move, financially, you may still qualify for the new tax credit available to current homeowners. It is unfortunate that the credit has too often been characterized as a credit for “move-up” homeowners. The phrase carries the implication that the new home must cost more than the sale price of the former one. Indeed, even the November 6 White House Press Release said that the credit would be available to qualified homeowners who “wish to step up to a new home.” Same implication.

Maine Govenor's Race – Les Otten "Throws The Hat In"
As reported by the Bethel Citizen last week, the above headline left me wondering why he was quitting the race. After reading the full story, the term ”Throws The Hat In” actually meant that he was entering the race for Governor instead of quitting. After speaking with a few other people, I noticed that 50% thought the same as me. Where does this saying originate and what is the real meaning of “throwing in the hat”?
I did notice that in the classifieds real estate section, one could pick up several new log cabin homes for under $200k each. In this ski resort area those homes would have been a decent buy a couple of years ago. It is still a great time to buy! Interested? Give us a call at 207-784-2525

There should be more information available for consumers to avoid any confusion on this fine program and shame on those people circumventing the law for personal gain.
