monika mcgillicuddy: Changes - 08/31/07 01:14 PM
This is not Good Bye but rather a short note letting you all know that I will be sunsetting this site.
As some of you know I have two profiles on AR and since I can not merge them into one without affecting all of you, letting this one rest is the best solution.
When I joined AR back in November of 2006 I joined as a real estate agent and then as a real estate trainer. Keeping both of my profiles active is just way to time consuming and frustrating.
I had been hoping I could simply merge them into … (31 comments)

monika mcgillicuddy: Uniquely Unique East Kingston New Hampshire Real Estate... - 07/14/07 08:12 PM
Uniquely unique is what living in East Kingston New Hampshire is all about and now you can own a piece of it at a great price.
East Kingston NH is a small rural town close to RT 95 and RT 125. The town demographics as posted on their website states that East Kingston has grown 4 times larger in the last fifty years!
You would think that the town has really grown quite large!
Not so...The town 2005 Census estimate for East Kingston was a total of 2,231 residents.
East Kingston remains a small New England town.
Blink and you'll miss it … (5 comments)

monika mcgillicuddy: Kayaking Linekin Bay Maine - 07/06/07 06:20 PM
A perfect July day for kayaking Linekin Bay in East Boothbay Maine.
While on a 4th of July camping trip to Boothbay Harbor Maine, we decided to do some kayaking.
Jay and I set out at about 10:30 in the morning with a goal of reaching Ocean Point and then paddling back to our put in at the Murray Hill boat launch in East Boothbay.
High tide was at 1:31 pm and we knew we'd be able to get in a few hours of easy paddling.
Neither one of us had dipped our paddle in water since last summer! I think we're classic fair … (29 comments)

monika mcgillicuddy: Odiorne Point a slice of NH Seacoast - 06/26/07 11:30 AM
My husband Jay and I are both beach lovers and we love to spend our free time exploring the coast of New Hampshire as well as points north along the majestic Maine coast.
One of our favorite local parks is Odiorne Point State Park in Rye NH. Rye is a quick 35 minute ride from our home in Hampstead and Odiorne is a 330 acre park that is open daily year-round.
We've been lucky enough to able to visit Odiorne State park during all four of our New England seasons...including the winter months. Sometimes we simply bring a bagged lunch and … (22 comments)

monika mcgillicuddy: Kingston New Hampshire's Hidden Talent - 06/21/07 04:01 PM
I just love discovering local talent and posting about it.
We all live in communities that are special to us or at least they should be special if you call them your home. Sometimes it takes going out and exploring your community to discover what makes it special or maybe getting involved in town events. If you look you'll find it!
Kingston NH, while not my home town is a town I like very much. I've written about Kingston and I also did a virtual tour of Kingston last fall that you can see by clicking on the take the tour … (12 comments)

monika mcgillicuddy: Hampton Beach New Hampshire * 7th Annual Sand Sculpture Contest* - 06/20/07 07:40 PM
I had meetings most of the day today but found a small window of opportunity that won't be available again until late Saturday.
So I took it and headed to the Beach.
I'd been itching to go all week because 300 tons of imported sand was dropped on Hampton Beach last Friday all in preparation for Hampton Beach's 7th Annual Sand Sculpture Competition.
This is something you just have to see as pictures simply do not do it justice. At least mine do not!
There are 12 Masters of the Sand Sculpture Universe competing for over $10,000.00 in prize money.

monika mcgillicuddy: Sandown New Hampshire Hosts an Electronics Recycle Day - 06/16/07 05:26 PM
Got a dead computer?? Or maybe you have a few of them kicking around your attic?
They are not an easy item to get rid of just like all those old broken down T'V' s we've been collecting for years.
What do you do with them?
Can't set them out on the curb for the sanitation collectors to pick up and most of the time the local dumps won't accept them.
I think I have 2 old computers in my attic and more than a few monitors hanging around.
The town of Sandown New Hampshire is hosting a desperately needed Electronic … (9 comments)

monika mcgillicuddy: How Humiliating...I was stood up today! - 06/12/07 10:09 PM
I can't remember when the last time I was stood up...maybe I haven't ever been stood up before..I don't know because I can't remember it. But today I was and I didn't like it one bit.
I had booked 4 condos to show a customer. We were to meet the listing agent at the first showing and then go on our own to see the rest.
This was to be our third time out and we had talked buyer agency representation but had not yet entered into that relationship. We had good rapport and I thought she felt comfortable with me.
Was I … (33 comments)

monika mcgillicuddy: Beaching it in New Hampshire - 06/04/07 09:27 PM
I love the beach especially on those cloudy, rainy days when most people stay home curled up on the couch. Yesterday was Jay's birthday and as is our custom the birthday person gets to decide what they want to do. He couldn't decide, although I'd bet if the weather had been better he might have chosen golfing, so I decided for him.
NH has a small ocean coastline with only 18 miles of rocky and sandy very changeable coastline. It's an easy ride with much of the coast visible from the car.
From our home in Hampstead it is a quick … (30 comments)

monika mcgillicuddy: HOT Closings - 04/29/07 09:01 PM
This was a difficult transaction that after many delays was finally given the clear to close. Because of the delays we had no say in the time or location of the closing. So it was scheduled at an attorneys office and was being fit into his tight schedule to accommodate us. This office was huge, brand new with big shiny furniture and impressive law books lining the walls.
When I arrived with my customers we were put in a big conference room. I took a seat near one end of the huge table and put my pocket book and brief case … (46 comments)

monika mcgillicuddy: localism works...I know - 04/28/07 10:03 AM
This post was inspired by Neal Bloom's post Localism works...I think
I thought what a great idea to highlight some of my favorite localism type posts. Localism does work...I really do know that it works.
My recent very local post about Hate was widely read by local people and it had the most public comments of any of my posts, ever. It was picked up by the The Union Leader a New Hampshire newspaper and that created recognition beyond anything I ever expected. Yesterday they did a follow up interview to be published tomorrow.

monika mcgillicuddy: Active Rainers meet in New Hampshire - 04/20/07 07:58 PM
It's been a strange week for me in Hampstead New Hampshire.
On Wednesday our town buried a fallen solider and I witnessed "hate" first hand. Between the Virginia tragedy, our local tragedy and all the flooding we've had, this week has been pretty sad.
Sad except for yesterday. I spent the day at a New Hampshire Association of REALTORS mediation training. Even if I wasn't a mediator I would have taken this class as the negotiation skills that you learn in mediation also apply to real estate. The program was taught by Sheila Maloney, who is the Assistant Director for negotiation and … (21 comments)

monika mcgillicuddy: My Grandson Wants to Blog - 04/14/07 08:37 PM
I'm babysitting my 11 year old grandson tonight. Out of the blue he asks me to help him set up a Blog? He wants his own Blog!
He is only 11 and I really didn't know what to say.
I asked him if he knows what a Blog is. He said yes of course he did and asked didn't I know all about Blogs???
Have you been reading my Blogs I asked? Yes, I have, he told me. He particularly enjoyed the ski blog since it had his photo in it!
So here he is wanting to Blog... I'm not … (27 comments)
