Life waits for no one and along the way, making adjustments to make sure the best real estate end results happen consistently. Means what you always did is slowly or quickly no longer the best course of action in marketing.   If for years you have always done it this way, followed the herd. Used this service, bought this product from this vendor, maybe it is long overdue for a review. Fenced in when it is pass the time to jump it. Head for greener pastures. Out in the wild blue yonder.Case in point, realtor dot com.

The size of the lot on the water, a Maine lake is often precious. Unlike most listings for sale that come with plenty of land, elbow room around them. In small rural real estate markets like Maine, lots of land, less people, more wildlife is how things shake and bake. But when you get above and beyond for acreage on a Maine lake, bells whistles and fireworks go off.Or should if attention is given in the right places to expose the property listing on the waterfront that has the added acreage.So the 55 Landing Lane Timoney Lake Oakfield Maine property for sale. It has the six acres of land on the Maine lake. But the land has other features besides just size to make it shine brighter. It borders a year round paved road for over 700 feet! Asking $48,500!

The house seller's barber has heard the same spiel, once a month about how anxious the property owner is to sell his sticks and bricks.The discussion fed,  shouted out to anyone within earshot pretty much shakes down the same old same old way. The gist of the conversations are about how motivated the home owner is to get to the real estate property closing.Will do whatever it takes. Above and beyond to "git 'er dunnnnn".Heck even give up a duplicate organ or two.So that real estate silent salesman speared in the front yard can be plucked, recycled, reused.Planted on another new property listing for sale, on another house two streets over, one block down from it.They say actions are louder than words.In real estate, ignoring the market that is not the one you wished was unfolding around ... 09/23/2015

It's not like Christmas Eve, you have don't have lots of time to burn.When the flying deer are antsy, double parked and raising havoc with the roof shingles. Unlike when Santa needs help getting the toys operational in pretty much dark conditions. For the little ones with dancing sugar plums over their heads slumbering upstairs. No tick tock, watching the clock nervously.With a bead of sweat on your lip, dripping off your brow.When you take your time and no deadlines are hanging over you.Like with the real estate purchases when someone is cracking a whip.Trying to get you to hurry it up will you?Reaching for the passed hammer or nail gun.Relax. It's new day.Want to? See yourself pitching in? And the real estate property story continues but under your guidance and direction?But with a tw... 09/21/2015

The point of marketing, of living, to make it the best it can be.To go over the top consistently. You can not be an Eeyore and pull that off.

The price tag hanging off the real estate listings can be scary enough.But the closing costs on real estate sales can sucker punch you too if not known upfront. Going in, it makes sense to have the little talk. On what to expect for the associated costs. To making the real estate transaction go through all the game board spaces. To make it through the closing operation. Beyond the legal fees to title search and record the documents at the registry of deeds to make what you hanker yours, there are the little side expenses.Because the property for sale is being financed to the hilt.And the evil eye in the background from the bank "loan arranger", the many underwriters that need to sign off for the clear to close memo to all the real estate players.
