Music and Houlton Maine..no secret this area of the state is rich with music talent and a reputation for high quality productions that win top honors year after year. Why? Talented music teachers that work together and have a common goal, know what each has for a role in meeting the top expectatons the program is known for. Because kids sing hymns early on at churches. Due to younger musicial playing in McGill's Community Band. Because through out the year in Houlton Maine, performances from show choirs, jazz bands, musicals, percussion emsembles and many, many other choral and band groups perform. So love of music and experience and support from the community. A new performing arts center is under construction now and this is year two for the state Maine jazz festival. Last year o... 04/05/2010

What is the local community like? Don't just tell them. Show them with local community videos of the area you peddle real estate in. Tell the 85% of folks who go on line to look for real estate, to search out and research a new area they know nothing about that you saved them the best seat in the house at the local events. Take them to school events, local sporting events, a tour of the downtown, a run down of the local banks, etc. Show them the local lakes, the video for all the local churches. Invite them into your canoe and take them down the annual spring races and serve them up a hot dog on the other end. Be friendly, be helpful, shoot - edit- post local community video. You the broker are the local tour guide, the guy or gal that lives here. Don't just write about, blog about, bra... 06/09/2009

     What's an area built from, what are the schools like, how involved are the communities? This Maine Houlton High School Senior Last Chapel video helps show a glimpse of that.  Schools in small Maine towns are a vital part of the local community.      Parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors all take part in raising the youth whether thru little league, thru church, actual teaching or hiring them as workers.      A real estate broker in that small town shows the events that happen here on line with local community videos. Relatives many states away can take a peek at the events and feel connected, able to stay in touch. And folks considering moving here with children, can see how their kids will fit in, where they will be going to school, etc. Local Maine community videos are import... 06/02/2009

    Sure you list, market, sell real estate in whatever way it takes. But you live in a town or city with lots of local events, community experiences. Don't keep them a secret or hog all the local flavor for yourself. Lights. Camera. Action. Bring your trusty video camera along when you take in the next state event that's in your venue. You are the host location for a major state tournament, festival, trade show, new development or success with lots of people pouring into your area which is an economic boon in motel, restaurant, gas sales.      The video coverage of the event you are at anyway is one more "thread" in the local fabric that you weave to show folks on the "outside" as they raise their periscope, doing sweeps back and forth on the net for places. Some may be relocating to t... 04/05/2009

Maine REALTOR Andrew Mooers - Houlton Maine..Music Town Of Maine!   12/04/2008

     Houlton Maine has been  nicknamed "The Music Town of Maine'. Year after year, show choirs, percussion ensembles, jazz bands and other state wide Maine competitions find the Shiretowners come out on top! The reason for such musical excellence is youth grow up singing in church and playing in McGill's Band summers. Students start in early elementary school playing a musical instrument and singing difficult challenging works taught by band / music directors who all have the same passion and vision.  This year's band or music director passes the student to next year's director trained and there is no wasted time or lack of continuity to "build" a top performer.  The instructors sail and socialize and are thinking music on the job and off! The youth look happy, excited and without cocki... 09/02/2008
