No doubt state REALTOR conventions are happening where you live, practice, hone your skills.

The Maine Association Of REALTORS annual meeting is next week Oct 6-8 at the Samoset Resort in Rockland ME. Year after year as brokers and agents trek to the real estate mecca, you go in ready to absorb new ideas, and to gain knowledge to apply in an ever changing market we are knee deep in. The continuing credit educational courses are super, the motivational and break out speakers are stellar. But one of the best aspects you bring home to apply is the shifting, sorting thru the neat lively conversations you have around the meal tables. You get to ask a broker in Portland, Lewiston Auburn, Bangor, Bar Harbor, Maine how they handle this or that.

     Oh yeah, we talk shop with a little how are the kids, etc. chatter. We are all in the real estate trenches, same successes, set backs, rigmarole. It gets noisy at those tables but you seek out the top of the industry that is good at this or that, and make sure to break the break and put on the feed bag with them. We are all agents, brokers, real estate listers, marketers, peddlers. But like a diamond, a precious jewel, we all have points of light, brilliance that makes us all special, unique. On the way to and from, you realize another year has passed and what are you going to contribute and what are you bringing back from the three day MAR meeting.

     Last year AR's Matt Ferrara talked about how we need to get on the stick and not just join, but feed, create material on a regular basis for the social media outlets or be left behind in the real estate dust.

     He highlighted Active Rain as a pretty neat vehicle to join, partner with and then he brought it up on the overhead screen the size of Rhode Island.

I felt a little squirmy in my seat as ta da, moi's blog entry done just before I set sail for Rockland Maine came up as big as life and twice as frightening.

      It was a post with embedded video and we watched it, and everyone around me said, "hey, that's you!" Others whispered, "hey that's real video, hear the loons, look at the size of that fish" and  "feel like I am actually riding in to and at the property" talk. For the rest of the meeting, I had folks stopping me in the hall, whispering to me before and during meetings and talking it up at the hospitality parties given by the sponsors. They wanted to know about AR, doing real estate video, and I felt that was what I brought in the real estate picnic basket to leave at the MAR convention. What I brought back was reconnection to network thru out the state. Resources to be able to pick up the phone, shoot an email to whoever when a question comes up that I need to do a "shout out" in the Maine real estate audience. See you at the convention and tell us about your state's conclave.

Here's the latest real estate housing numbers press release report for Maine..the big state in the upper right hand corner of the country.

MAINE HOME SALES RISE FOR THIRD CONSECUTIVE MONTH

SOUTH PORTLAND (September 24, 2009)-Maine's single-family home sales have increased

for a third consecutive month. Statistics released today by the Maine Real Estate Information

System, Inc. (MREIS) show Realtors sold 1,050 homes in August 2009, up 9.95 percent from

August 2008. The median sales price (MSP) decreased 9.56 percent to $162,800 comparing

same month in 2008. This reflects the continued increase in first time buyer home sales. The

median sales price indicates that half of the homes were sold for more and half sold for less.

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), single-family home sales are up 2.5

percent nationwide. The national MSP fell 12.1 percent to $177,500 in August. Regional sales in

the Northeast increased 5.8 percent during the past 12 months; the regional MSP of $241,100

reflects a decline of 10.5 percent.

"The $8,000 tax credit helped bring more buyers into the market and we are seeing increased

activity, mostly in the $300,000 and under range," said Joan Chrane of RE/MAX Riverside in

Topsham. "We are still seeing short sales and foreclosures, which we need to work through in

order to return to any normalcy. FHA financing has become popular because of lower down

payment requirements. There are so many opportunities in the market place now."

Below are two charts showing statistics for Maine and its 16 counties. The first chart lists

statistics for the month of August only, statewide. The second chart compares the number of

existing, single-family homes sold (units) and volume (MSP) during the months of June, July

and August of 2008 and 2009.

A buyer who is hustling with two jobs, saving his money, wanting to invest in a home, land, business, farm or waterfront...has limited free time. Don't waste it.

So when he goes on line, and liked the lead in caption on your property, don't leave him hanging. You've been inside..toured the place, why keep it a secret? Shoot the video, edit it and get him inside right now too! Grab him by the cyber hand, take him to the property with video now...right now. He is available, this does not happen much and he is ready to buy. If you have a few fuzzy images, a write up you the listing agent did not do, that the office lady tried her hand at without seeing it first hand...your buyer goes away hungry, unfulfilled. The experience...it was not good for him but typical as you look around at all the agents that still don't shoot and post real live narrated video.

    

Video shows him inside, outside, educates him on the area with audio from your voice, in your easy conversational tone...your inside voice you use during showings, not your cheer for the little league team outdoor voice. You don't read to him, in stilted fashion with "pristine this, fabulous that, incredible blah blah blah..."

The buyer gets to meet you, hear you, see you...and you put him at the head of the line, got him squared away with a video that gets used over and over. In fact if the copy lady that writes these one size fits all ad copies saw each of these videos, she would do a lot better job. She's been there, seen that, knows the place because she has walked around the inside virtually, with you cyber broker. Video..it hits all five senses and the actual real life walk thru is only a formality for the buyers. He's already seen it a dozen times, sent it to his uncle Bob out of state who is throwing in $10,000 to help the lad buy the place. www.mooersrealty.com
