It's been a while since I offered for sale a wonderful contemporary family home with so many amenities as the one I have for sale on 30 Shasta Drive, Londonderry New Hampshire. This house offers three plus bedrooms, cathedral ceilings and skylights in all of the bedrooms, Master bathroom and walk-in closet, bright and cheery in every corner of the upstairs.

The first floor has a great modern, contemporary appeal, the contrast of the black appliances in the white kitchen are striking featuring a Sub-zero refrigerator, Thermadore double oven and a glass cook-top. The really neat part of the first floor is the solarium living room overlooking the backyard. The owners currently have it set up as a breakfast nook and informal living-room combination. It is such a welcoming area. In addition on the first floor, there's an office/den that's so warm and inviting, it surely suggests wanting to sit and snuggle with a good book. A half bath has been beautifully remodeled with glass tile floor, pedestal sink and a tranquil blue color on the walls.

I really saved the best for last, the downstairs walk-out has been completely remodeled with a style and flair that can only be described as, "WOW". Ceramic tile through-out, a full bath, and European cabinetry over the fully applianced wet-bar is the ultimate entertaining space. Easily convertible into an in-law or teenage suite, the space is a wonderful retreat from the grind of the day to day. From the walk-out triple sliders the Gunite pool and spa offers summertime fun and relaxation. The grounds are mature and meticulous, this home is waiting for a family to move in to it and enjoy!

Giving a little extra in the customer service department goes a long, long way!

I am a very focused individual, especially in the morning on my way into the office. I have a routine, I visit my local over crowded gas station that houses my coffee shop and I buy my extra large coffee, double shot of espresso with extra cream and 3 sweet n' low (sugar makes me hyper), and on a daily basis I am amazed at the over-abundance of people seeming to run in reverse that just can't seem to get out of their own way. I then proceed to exit the gas station attempting to turn left crossing over three lanes of heavy morning traffic. I really don't notice any of this experience because I'm usually pre-occupied thinking about the rest of my day.

This morning, NH's 90th inch of snow graced us with its presence. My local, over crowded gas station/coffee shop wasn't plowed as I pulled in and I had to park at one of the pumps at the farthest end of the parking lot. Wearing 3 inch heals tenderly trying to step through the tire tracks and the muck...this is where my story gets to the point...a gas station employee, a true gentleman twice my age was shoveling the walkway trying desperately to keep the yuck and muck from reaching inside the store. He made a cute comment that I looked like I was tip-toeing through the tulips and then proceeded to say he would shovel a path directly to my car to make it easier for me to navigate the parking lot.

Now, at this point I smiled and said thank you, not really expecting a path shoveled to my car and I proceeded to wait in line for my morning pick me up. I left the gas station/coffee shop and there it was as beautiful as the yellow brick road, a clear path to my car right to my door. My cuffs on my black dress pants were never so happy.

I took this experience today and I incorporated it into my business, I telephoned four clients whose houses closed with me this year and I asked if they were all set with their driveways and/or walkways from this last storm. I had two clients who truly needed help, and I contracted the work to be done. I felt so satisfied to go the extra distance and assist those clients that haven't had the opportunity to coordinate their snow removal before this last storm. The gas station employee's customer service didn't end when I got the change back from purchasing my coffee and it reminded me my service to my client's doesn't stop at the closing table.

My over crowded, inconveniently situated gas station/coffee shop has a patron for life and my clients will never work with any other real estate agent.

Exit Mega Auction - February 29th, 2007, 4pm

I am excited to announce the Exit Realty Mega Auction being held on February 29th, starting at 4pm at the Sheraton Colonial in Wakefield Massachusetts. This event is an amazing collaboration of several Exit offices in Massachusetts talking with sellers and offering them an alternative way to sell their homes. So far what we have gained from this experience is more direct leads that we know what to do with, potential bidders that are excited to get pre-approved to be part of our auction process, and amazing recruiting opportunities. What an event we are going to have, currently we have over 100 properties being available for sale in one amazing evening! I'll keep you posted as to how the process unfolds and the sales statistics to the event! http://www.exitmegaauction.com/ Check it out!

This process is exceptional for stale properties, short-sales and conventional listings.

I'm wondering has anyone out there tried to coordinate a REO buyer bus tour? What were the ups, downs and sideways of the experience?
