Vacationland Information, What Living In Maine Is All About, Like.
You’ve never been to Maine but have heard good things about the state.
But you have burning questions, concerns, topics needing addressing. Ok (stepping up to the podium) I’m game. In fact, we get asked many questions in the course of our work as a Maine real estate broker every day. Heck we did a video for the Maine FAQ common ones.
But besides questions about the weather, crime, if we have any gangs (no, thank you) the inquirers are like an explorer hungry, thirsty for information.
Over and over the same why is Maine real estate priced so low, how far are you from Boston, New York, Saturn and tell me about your schools, recreation, healthcare, churches.
It runs the A to Z and we produce many other videos to handle those questions.
Talking to the person posing the Maine questions works better than just tapping out electrons to form words. Like you are grazing on right now as you pair of eyeballs do the typewriter scan like eating corn, back and forth. With Maine videos, you can hear the blogger’s voice. See his facial expressions. Have some audio visuals packaged in and to just sit there.
Scope out our Maine community videos when you have some time if you are serious about learning all I can share about life in Vacationland. Maine, one super place and the longer I listen to the questions coming from outside, the more I know life here is very special.
The motivation to buy, own a piece of Maine, property here starts many ways deep inside.
Sometimes because the nice little town you moved to on your end is not any more. Too many people. People with guns, expensive cost of living issues, over crowding and traffic all tip the scales on a relocation, retirement to Maine.
Or the fear of stock values nose diving make that investment of a little hard earned cash one you have pondered hard and long. Maine real estate is low cost, attractive, way way more fun than stock options.
Molding stock share certificates or puny performing bank cd accounts can not compete with the family fun a Maine lakefront cottage, cabin with ME land on a river provide you all four seasons.
These waterfront Maine properties get handed down from generation to generation. There is something good, sacred, special about that.
Sometimes, just know you own a 40 acre parcel of land in Maine is peace of mind. An insurance policy as you sing The Clash song “Should I Stay Or Should I Go” in your head. Under your breath whistling and wondering.
Why is Maine so special? The hard working people loaded with common sense they could use in Washington DC. Bills passed with lots of extra pork tacked on may be the way politics go. But who pays for all the waste, expansion of government and loss of freedoms in our country. We don’t need more rules, we need more local pick yourself up by the boot straps pride. Getting people to work, feeling self sufficient, capable of feeding their own family, building a stronger community.
Maine, low cost property, easy rate financing from cheap money mean the time is now. Make the call, plan the trip. Go on line and start watching some videos. We have over 400 to help make the leap from your end to Maine.

Casting, Enjoying Maine Fishing..Just One Recreational Option.
Maine license plates have “vacationland” stamped on every one and when you live here, our backyard is hundreds of acres of woodland, or rolling fields, or waterways to explore.
Or our neighbor is a Maine lake, complete with jumping fish, singing loons, laughing kids in a small boat exploring that clean water resource. Unspoiled, four seasons, fewer but way way friendlier people..that is Maine. I am one of the biggest fans and that is why I live, work, raise a family here.
But the partnership with the Maine Tourism Association we are a member of is critical to stream line this information broadcast.

What is Maine all about? The people that are fewer in number and well spaced make the state of Maine what it is.
But the places that have not been spoiled, the four season beauty is what Maine is all about too. Sometimes blogging about this and that in Maine, adding helpful links, embedded video makes for a well rounded blog post. But other times, just rolling the slide show carousel gets the job done, makes the point succintly.
Our over 1200 Flickr Maine photostream help one by one show you this great state so far north we are almost in Canada on two sides. New Brunswick on the east, Quebec on the north and west. Our Maine 400 plus videos let you hear the people, see the folks who make the state unique, memorable too.
But sometimes hand picked, newly shot images put up one by one like an artist picture, portrait propped on an easel under soft track lighting make a point. Like a four carat diamond solitaire slid on to a ring finger. With out all the multiple images to overwhelmed. Or for a single shot to get lost in the multitude of eye candy. Like taking one child to an event, to spend the day one on one without sharing Dad or Mom with the other siblings in a family. Once in a while. Here are a few Maine images.
Maine, No Place Like It, That Is Still The Way Life Should Be, Was.
Maine, why you are here, why you want or need to be in Vacationland, the Pine Tree State? The motivation, desire for Maine living, the flavor of the surroundings, people, 4 season recreation.
Different unique reasons, yet many of the same laundry list items sought out if you peeked over the shoulder, studied the written wishes, goals made by folks that remind themselves why they live here. Others outside Maine who want to live here. Need to be here. Or those that flit, sample, zip in to Maine any chance they can. Like this three day memorial weekend, for hunting season, the holidays. Traditions where just the expression, knowledge “I’m going to Maine” or someday “I’ll retire to Maine.” The state of Maine offers comfort, security from crime, elimination of traffic, and most of the countryside, lakes, resources are pretty much like they were before developments. Less people, more good stewards to the area mean better experience, quality of life in Maine.
Many of the same factors that pull people from outside the state to visit, relocated, move here are to get rid of something they don’t like, that has creeped up in their day day where they live now. You’ll love the state for what we have, Maine for what we don’t have too. Both are long lists in a good way. The lack of crime, being the 4th lowest in the nation, Aroostook County half that average again may be all it takes for elderly that worry about gangs, clusters housing and folks with no repect for their things, other people’s feelings, possessions.
Or not spending a big portion of your life stuck in traffic. Going somewhere, trying to get there and having time during the day to get things done, but not just behind the wheel. The worry about crime, the being on your toes driving thru multiple lanes of traffic, are two contant worries you leave behind as you cross in to Maine from New Hampshire, to the south. Replaced with four season beauty, wildlife, less people to be on the look out on the roads, around your low cost ME real estate.
Don’t get me wrong. People are great…but too many people, well, they start to cause problems within just the over population stress.
Like labratory rats when they get too many rats in a small confine. You and I react to the environment and if it over crowded, one where you live in fear, or stuck in gridlock on a six lane highway, what fun is that? What toll does that existence do to you day in and out? Mentally, physically, financially, spiritually? Maine, happy campers here because the surroundings are like they used to be everywhere. Maine is the way life should be. Still is because not too many people here mean the simple things have not been messed up.
Maine, the reasons you move here are many, but to each person, their list has what they want from Vacationland, need. And what they don’t want, but can not get rid of where they live in population centers now. Maine, get some in your diet. You can dream standing up, with your eyes open here. These Flickr Maine images, over 1200 of them show you just a glimpse, but without words this great state. And for 30 images per second, brace yourself for over 400 Maine videos. To show you the community living, flavor of the people that make Maine unique.
