Hi family10,

I would post an ad in the wanted section on Craigslist. I have done this in the past with great success. Best of luck on your move to Maine.

there's a Gotham Maine? This state will name a town after anyplace

If your concerned about finding a place I wouldn't worry too much. You do not have to make any hasty decision's for fear of not finding a home. there are usaually a good deal of rental's available. Now there can be a lot of junk out there but i will assume you wouldn't commit to anything with out seeing it first.

I would start looking now in the local papers in the areas you want to live. there are rental management company's too that could help you but I would start with the paper's. Since you are not here...you might want to ask some local realtors to give you a hand. they know the area really well...and maybe they can have 2 or 4 places ready for you to look at when you come. They could also help you with explaining what the differnt towns have to offer.

Thank you all for the tips . I will be here in Germany so my husband will be checking out everything. He should be there some time in march. And I am very excited to get everything going and finally be there I have heard so many nice things about Maine and its people.
