Real estate coverage is a staple for many business publications, including this one.
The “street view,” whether it’s from Google Maps or one’s own shoe-leather perspective, is often a critical part of our understanding of the context in which a business is situated in a community. Real estate helps project a retailer’s image or a financial service firm’s status or an ad agency’s “brand.” Real estate helps convince recruits to join a firm and helps retain an employee once on board.
Real estate is very much at the center of Mainebiz coverage, with our weekly Real Estate Insiders and extensive coverage of sales, leases and the search for space. The cooperation of brokerages makes much of that possible, for instance by providing specific sale or lease information.
And the uniting factor that brings us all together is the Maine Real Estate & Development Association, or MEREDA.
For this inaugural Groundbreaking Maine publication, Mainebiz worked extensively with MEREDA, including Executive Director Shelly Clark.
MEREDA’s events are high points of the year and offer a wealth of information and networking opportunities. With this publication, we’re able to combine information on MEREDA awards and the Mainebiz real estate coverage that’s been a mainstay here.
One of the hot topics in the past several years has been Maine’s housing shortage. In this issue, real estate reporter Tina Fischer looks at the state’s big picture goal of building 84,000 housing units by 2030 and where we are today.
