Bridal Veil Falls is a scenic cascade on the northwestern side of a ridge between Cannon Mountain and The Cannon Balls. It is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in New Hampshire. Coppermine Brook pours through a narrow spot in a high ledge, then widens as it plummets, resembling the shape and color of a bride’s long, lacy veil. The approach to the falls is a pretty hike. It follows Coppermine Brook most of the way, which has numerous pools that will delight your dog.

I reviewed a seller disclosure for one of my buyer clients today; I am thorough but not an alarmist. Here are a few things I noticed, that the seller’s agent may have just glossed over if the buyer wasn’t represented.
#1. The disclosure was dated March of 2010. I understand a lot of property has been on the market a while and some have lowered the price a few times to stay close to market value. BUT A seller disclosure is invalid if it’s over a year old.
Some seller’s wait till there is an offer to start the short sale request. Don’t wait, if your current market value is well below your current principal balance waiting to request a short sale will un-necessarily delay the sale. If your Realtor tells you that the likely selling price is in a range that you know you will have a deficit (and you don’t have the funds to pay off the difference at closing) you need to shed your embarrassment and be honest from the start.

If I could have re-blogged my own post I would have. The Risk and Reward of Land subordination to a construction loan. Was the original post. All you creative writers will find this a dry subject, and unless you are in the land development and construction business the title alone would have sent you on to other posts. But let me share a recent request I received by email. "I am a builder in the Washington DC area and just read your interesting write up on land subordination. I would like to use this approach in purchasing two lots from a … (12 comments)

- 12/01/08 12:52 AM
Being a know commodity is what we all strive for, but this level of achievement goes beyond simple recognition. How would you feel if someone did an organic search a thousand miles away from you and your picture came up. A funny thing happened when I was writing a recent blog: Changes in real estate technology in 25 years..looking back. So here is why I am struck by Lenn's efforts to blog and stay at the top of our field: I was on a New Hampshire Tourism Free Photos site when I came across her photo.

new hampshire realtor: Mattress Money, lumpy but sleeping well
- 09/20/08 08:59 AM
I have a friend and some time client who told me he keeps money under his mattress. I asked him if that was uncomfortable and he said "I sleep just fine thanks".I know he was joking but he was letting me know he was in a strong cash position. I asked him if it wouldn't be a better return to invest it somewhere else, he told me he see his returns as a function of real estate annuities. What he buys he keeps, it is paid off either at closing or in a few years depending on his cash position when he … (6 comments)

new hampshire realtor: Hold your Ground on list price, and get the listing!
- 05/30/08 06:08 AM
1,050 square foot Condominium. Seller's have greater access to data in our information age so they know what's listed. But I have found that they don't know what has sold, how many days it was on the market, and how many comparable properties expired without selling. Further I have found many seller are looking to justify their own mind set and view comparables they think are in line with their property. On a recent listing appointment I printed out condominiums with in 200 square feet larger and smaller than the subject property. I didn't narrow the search for # of Bedrooms … (12 comments)
new hampshire realtor: Primary Residence, sale with tax deferment
- 05/06/08 05:01 AM
An expensive cabin in the woods could lead to a big tax bill upon its sale, even if it is your primary home. Section 1031 can be an effective strategy on the sale of a primary residence that contains excess land surrounding a personal residence. For example, a taxpayer owns a personal residence situated on 25 acres of land. It has been determined that the usual and customary acreage for a similar property in the vicinity is 3 acres. If the taxpayer has been holding the 22 excess areage for investment, then that portion of the property can be treated as … (5 comments)
