Justin Lamontagne, NAI | The Dunham Group New England Real Estate Journal – August 3, 2012
The summer blockbuster movie season is upon us. I can just imagine the tagline in the trailer for what I consider a major theme in the Maine commercial real estate market, “The RETURN of the owner/user buyer!” Admittedly, it’s not that catchy; but it’s true. Small business owners are finally feeling good enough about the economy and their own companies to start buying property again.
