FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Keller Williams Realty Continues to Grow in Luxury Homes Market
Luxury Homes Division Stakes a Claim in Greater Portland
Portland, Maine September 29th 2009 — Keller Williams Realty Greater Portland has announced that it has added John Hatcher as the President of the Luxury Homes arm of its business in Portland. Dedicated to serving the high-end home market, the members-only Luxury Homes division of Keller Williams Realty offers eligible associates extensive training and a luxury home designation.
“John is truly one of the finest real estate professionals in our industry. He exemplifies a true commitment to homeownership with a special expertise in successfully marketing, positioning and selling some of our most upscale local luxury homes. This appointment hallmarks a distinguished career and is an honor to be able to make, we thank John for his leadership and commitment”, Leanne Nichols, Team Leader, Keller Williams Greater Portland.
The Keller Williams Realty division is spearheaded by Dee Shultz, a long time leader in the luxury homes market in Austin, Texas. She says that this program allows more KW associates to capitalize on the luxury homes market across North America. “When you look at the luxury homes market – it’s been more stable than the real estate market as a whole, so we want to arm our agents to capitalize on that opportunity,” says Shultz.
The educational requirement is provided by industry heavyweight, The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing (www.luxuryhomemarketing.com), as part of a continuing partnership between The Institute and Keller Williams Realty.
“We know that when we listen to what our agents need, we develop the right product for them,” says Mary Tennant, president and COO of Keller Williams Realty, Inc. “This program was built by our agents, for our agents. As an agent-centric company, we wouldn’t do it any other way.”
Since the program made its official debut in late 2007, KW Luxury Home Consultants and their clients have been introduced to new branding and marketing materials, an international Web presence (www.kwluxuryhomes.com) and a highly-successful agent-to-agent referral system, as well as discounted pricing for advertising in targeted print publications.
Adds Shultz: “We know that this program provides greater visibility for our luxury listings, a strong support system for our agents currently servicing affluent clients, and a firm foundation for growth to our associates who are looking to key into the market. It’s a win-win for everyone.”

First Friday Art Walk - Join Us
‘Sitting Pretty’ - watercolor and gouache
The Gallery at
HARMON’S & BARTON’S
Presents
“Sylvan”
By
Bath Artist, Linda Murray
Artist’s Reception, First Friday Art Walk, Oct 2nd, 5-8 pm
584 Congress Street ~ Portland ~ 207 774 5948
Fine Art ~ Very Special Flowers ~ Maine Talent
Linda finds trees a perfect metaphor for people in that the older they get the more interesting they become! If you are quiet in the presence of these old trees you can feel their wisdom and strength. You can also see evidence of their struggle to survive, where roots have lost their bark, branches have been severed and crevices where other beings have burrowed to make their home. Join Linda, her stunning trees, and the unique floral renderings of our designers as we pay homage to these splendiferous arbors through October!

Today's Rates in Maine
Folks...interest rates are still low....take a look at this rates (assuming -0- points and 30 year term)
- 30 year fixed : 5.25%
- 5/1 ARM : 4.50%
- 7/1 ARM : 4.875%
- FHA 30 year fixed : 5.375%
- MSHA : 5.40%
The 5/1 and 7/1 ARMs are ideal for people looking to get a rate under 5% and have the rate fixed for 5 and 7 years. Savings on these programs, as well as added buying power, make the ARM a very attractive option.
Note that the Maine Housing rate has increased from 5.25% to 5.40%, so if the seller is willing to pay closing costs, a RD loan (0% down) and a FHA may be a more viable way to go.
Let us know how we can assist you.
Have a great Labor Day weekend!

Home Maintenance Tasks for September - Winter's Coming...
- Look for cracks and holes in house siding or paint. Replace caulk if necessary.
- Good time to paint interior rooms or shampoo/replace carpets while it's still warm enough to leave windows open.
- In cold-climate areas, remove window air-conditioners, or put weatherproof covers on them.
- Check heating system including filters, pilot lights, and burners, and have the system serviced by a qualified professional.
- Drain hot water heater. Flush and refill.
- Clean and vacuum dust from vents, baseboard heaters and cold-air returns.
- Check that foundations are properly graded. Soil should slope four to six inches for a distance of three feet out from the foundation walls.
- If you haven't already, check basement for cracks or leaks. Seal if necessary.
- If you have a sump pump, test, clean and lubricate.
- Wash out garbage cans, disinfect, and then rinse thoroughly.
Replace an Old Shower Head
Most DIYers should be able to replace a shower head easily. To remove simply unscrew the old head from the water pipe (check for and remove any set screws). Most can actually be unscrewed by hand. If not, use masking tape on the jaws of a wrench or a pair of Vise Grips (to prevent marring) and unscrew it. Turn slowly and hold the water supply line while you are unscrewing the showerhead - you don't want to break the supply pipe. Clean off the base and threads of the stem and then apply plumbers dope or tape around it. Visually inspect to make sure the shower head is straight and then hand tighten the new shower head on the stem and turn on the water to test for leaks. Not sure which shower head? ConsumerReports.org has points to consider and ratings (members only).
How to Find Roof Leaks in Your Home
Finding that pesky, annoying roof leak can be a real pain and is best left to professionals. That said, most roof leaks happen at flashings. Flashings connect a roof to something that is not a roof such as chimneys, valleys, where a roof bumps into a wall, skylights, plumbing stacks, etc. Check the flashings before spending any time looking at the shingles. Danny Lipford says, "Roof leaks can be hard to find, since they often run down the underside of sheathing or rafters to show up far from their actual source. The best time to try and find a leak is when it's raining outside, or you can also mimic rain conditions by spraying water on the roof. Go in the attic and look for damp spots or water stains, trace them back to their highest point, then examine that part of the roof for any potential problems.
Some Useful Information About Furnace Filters
We all know that we should replace our furnace or air conditioner filters (they are the same thing) regularly, but many of us gape in confusion at the many, many options available and we don't really know how to determine what might be best for our specific purposes. Here are a couple of resources you might want to try for information to help you decide. Filter Furnace Care (a retail site) is good place to look for some important things to consider and a simple, but detailed comparison chart of the various filter types. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is a good, but technical, resource for a comprehensive guide to air cleaners in the home including sections dealing specifically with types of furnace filters and how efficiency ratings are determined.
NEWS
CNNMoney.com says: "Sales of newly constructed homes leaped unexpectedly in July to hit their highest level since last September. ..The news followed other positive housing market reports earlier this month, including a spike in existing home sales, home prices and affordability. Plus, the psychology of the market is changing, according to Peter Morici, an economics professor at the University of Maryland. "The notion that prices will drift down forever is gone," he said. "Now people are thinking the window of opportunity will not be open forever".
