Houlton Maine is the county seat for Aroostook, the largest of the 16 counties in Maine. Joseph Houlton cruised up in 1805 to scope the place out..and the wife and kids followed in 1807 long before Maine was even a state. Called New Salem in the start, Joseph Houlton was from Salem Massachusetts which Maine was part of at that time. Houlton Maine is on the canadian border with New Brunswick Canada and border traffic is brisk and smooth. I-95 starts in Houlton Maine and ends in Miami Florida. I-95 connects with the trans canada highway to the Atlantic Provinces. Learn about the big state fair around the 4th at 
how an hour can go by on line and you spent alot of time on sites that are fluff, on the top of the pile but don't have any beef in them? You can waste some serious time on line trying to find substance. Now shift that experience to your own website. Go into your site...as a buyer, as a browser...how are you doing so far? Are you hit with skimpy info, demand for registration info or suddenly going thru acrobatics to get to the meat? Streamline the site, get rid of the flash, forget the glow in the dark back ground colors, and arrange the eye candy and info so they can find it easy...without hunting for it. Makes sense when we talk about it here...but why is there a tendency to gum up the gears with overkill or a mess? Its like trimming a tree with tinsel..do you put on a few strands at a time here and there while drinking a little egg nog with a little sweetner in it and Bing Crosby in the background crooning White Christmas...or do you have Metalica blaring, drinking Colt 45 and throwing handfuls of tinsel on the same tree? There are tons of sites and more coming on daily. How does your stack up in the sea of dribble and sameness?

how you become a feature post...answers from one other member indicated it was based on the number of points you accrue. Noooo..that's not true. We've collected a few points with hard work and that's not the secret. In the Maine listings, there is one poster that has not posted a single blog but is 4th in the state in ranking the last time I checked. So like the song goes, "We keep getting richer, but we can't get our picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone...I mean Active Rain!" Keep up the effort Rainers..it's a jungle out there.
park tie is what the old man really wants for father's day, doing things a little differently. What I really really want for their appreciation as the dad, is a branch office location on the moon. Think about it...if you were the first realtor to start peddling property on the moon! Wow...no pollution, no people...lots of elbow room. You could start fresh and look at the inventory of unimproved land! If one of my kids ask...lean over and say 'Psssst...think your dad wants the first listing on the moon..." Wonder where a good place for broker graphics would be on the lunar rover? Would Lowen sign ship me signs 240,000 miles away without a fuel surcharge? Zoning? What's zoning on the moon? Let me know your email interest and will let you know when we snag that first listing my kids help arrange!

The owner has a bunch of yesteryear photos on the dining room table as you complete the paperwork to get this victorian on the market. Don't just ooh and ahh over those old photos...scan 'em , use 'em in the marketing mix. Why? Well they show the vintage old car, the row of elm trees before dutch elm disease took them out, and maybe the original color is more to the liking of the prosepctive buyer. You just showed them what the historical record holds on this special place. The older photos make this one extra special..not something you can just step out and build from stratch. Sometimes the trees are a little over grown now and you can not get a present date good photo either. If the place is still in great shape, the photos show it always was maintained..and now the sacred responsibility for the place is up to you Mr and Mrs Buyer!
The old gardens, and attention to detail from 40 years ago might spill over and make the buyer want to get going on bringing it back to as near original as possible. If you have the photos, use them...the particular buyer for the upper scale homes that are not your typical fare or shoe box ranch, will appreciate the heritage, the pedigree of the property and grounds. But if you don't show them, and explain the history of the place, you are missing a big part of the sizzle of the excitement you are supposed to be creating. If there is history, spell it out in the narrative for the property. It will also make your seller feel you respect the property as much as they do. And sometimes the older photos may have a color more to the liking of the buyer. (Caught you squinting to make out the old car in the carport didn't we? Lesalle model perhaps?)
The image below is the current color...same home but whole different approach. They can like it better or desire to take it back to what it was decades before. The cost for this gem with stained glass, fireplaces, tin ceilings, a zillion kinds of woodwork and detail with acre lot? $169,900. Only In Northern Maine where everything is reasonable and the way things used to be! Oh yeah...a tennis court and two carriage houses with this one that has an immediate occupancy if you can't wait to get started on your new home project.
