nh real estate: Hampton Beach NH | Life on the coast of New Hampshire - 08/29/12 10:39 PM
I absolutely love living and working in Southern NH. I love that the beautiful coast line of New Hampshire is within a 35 minute ride from my home in Hampstead. Love that I can enjoy the beach or spectacular ocean scenery or visit some wonderful coastal cities like Portsmouth NH to name a few, that offers so many wonderful things to do and enjoy.

This is a video entry for a contest I'm in. I expect to re-do it after the contest group critiques it but thought I'd share it here too.  The rules are; keep it short, use images to tell a story based on a word picked to describe the year 2012. They will judge on music, lighting, editing and keeping the viewers attention with your story telling.
My Word of Year was "excited" and ultimately the video will be featured on my real estate blog > NH Realty Scoops.com

nh real estate: The First Step to home onwership.... - 12/29/11 02:13 AM
Pre-Qualification - Tammy Verani explains why it's important As a NH REALTOR it's important for us to know whether or not a home buyer is pre-qualified or per-approved for a mortgage loan before we start looking at homes for a few good reasons.
Guessing equals a waste of time and money 1. If you guess at what you can afford and then find out later that you can't afford what you thought you could, it will be hard for you to find anything you like when lowering your price range. You'll always compare everything to the homes in the higher price … (0 comments)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
It's so hard to believe that another year is nearly over but I am ready to say goodbye to 2011 and welcome in 2012.  My area in Southern New Hampshire had a very tough real estate year with foreclosures impacting the market and driving prices down. While real estate is so very local and other parts of New Hampshire fared a little better the over all picture of the New Hampshire real estate market was on par with 2010 if not a little bit lower in terms of sales sate wide. 
My outlook for 2012 … (2 comments)

nh real estate: Broker Opens...do they work?? - 07/13/08 07:06 AM
Question for you all.
Have you had any success with Broker Opens? I mean have you had a sale that resulted from a Broker Open?

nh real estate: Real Estate's Paradigm Shift - 03/15/08 06:29 PM

I've been giving this some deep thought lately. When I entered the business in the mid eighties all the REALTORS knew each other and everyone worked hard to cooperate with each other. Then the market shifted, prices rose dramatically and everyone and their mother thought it would be cool to sell real estate. One day it all came to a screeching halt.
The market changed and for those that were unaware, it felt like an over night change. Those that keenly watched the market knew what was happening and what was coming.
It took awhile but the market eventually improved and the … (74 comments)
