Why Condo Fees can be a Good Thing

Last week I was approached by a fellow who felt he had no choice but to sell his house. He bought his three bedroom bungalow about three years ago. The problem was that he didn't budget correctly. After buying his house he didn't think that he would have to make any more payments. Thus it was a HUGE shock for him when he discovered that he needed to replace his roof. He told me that he can't afford to fix it and thus is forced to sell his house. I recommended that he move into a condo. I think anyone who isn't good at bud getting should live in a condo. It forces you to budget through their condo fees. I thought I would write a quick article explaining why condo fees can be a good thing. Enjoy!

Maine Real Estate License.... Going, going, gone

I have to apologize for not having posted in a while. I have been busy working on a new education project that we will be launching soon. I am sure it will help a lot of people. Can't wait to launch.

Anyhow I digress....

I looked into how to get a real estate license in Maine. First of all I was surprised to see that they reciprocate with pretty much every state. If you are licensed in another state you just have to take the Maine state law portion of the exam. Then you can begin selling real estate in the beautiful state of Maine.

I have never actually been to Maine but think i will try to go in the Summer. Sounds very pleasant. Eat some lobster and take a walk on the beach. not so bad :).

One Bad Real Estate Salesperson

Matt Wilson has written a great article about an experience he had recently with a real estate salesperson. After reading it twice, I had to ask him if it really happened - could any real estate agent be that bad? Well, I will confirm that everything is true. Everyone that is thinking about getting their real estate license should read this article so that they will know what NOT to do when they start their career as a realtor.
