History of Pine View
Homes, Inc.
Pine View Homes
is and always has been a family owned and oriented business. When
first established in 1955, the owner of the company was Mr. &
Mrs. Elmore L. Hustus. They eventually sold the corporation to
their daughter and son-in-law, Anna & Stanton Ayer, who in
1994 sold it to their son and daughter-in-law, Michael & Tracy
Ayer.
Originally situated on 18 acres of land on the west side of route
#201 in Winslow, Maine, Pine View had 19 park sites for smaller
mobile homes. Through the years, their park has grown to a mobile
home community of 45 sites, with both single and double-wide lots.
The park has ample sized spaces with picnic/park area and playarea
for the children. All roads and driveways are paved and both garbage
and snow removal are provided. In 2004, Pine View purchased 17
acres of land on the east side of route #201 and created another
display lot to include both double-wide and modular home displays
and a second office.
When the founders first began the company, it was a furniture
and gift store. This soon developed into a mobile home park and
travel trailer business. Mr. Hustus was the first person in Maine
to both sell and rent mobile homes and travel trailers. Pine View
Homes still maintains the rental business but no longer handles
travel trailers.
Pine View Homes has evolved into a company that not only provides
fine quality and affordable homes for Maine families, but also
one that stands behind it's products with a full time service
department. We can deliver your new home, free of charge, to any
lot in the State of Maine. Our reputation is such that customers
have purchased their first home from Pine View then return again
and again to re-purchase other homes and have brought their children
to Pine View to buy their homes too!
Today the company has 19 full time employees, half of those with
over ten years of service, some with many more. Pine View has
diversified over the years and is involved in both the manufacturing
and finance end of the business. We are also a member of the Chamber
of Commerce, the Manufactured Housing Association of Maine, Volume
Buyers LLC and are in good standing with the Better Business Bureau.
Under
the ownership of Mike & Tracy, all the offices have been remodeled,
but the business remains in the original homestead of his grandparents.
They have maintained the family values and integrity - to provide
quality, attractive housing for the lowest price possible!!
