This is a contest entry to the Active Rain Buyer Challenge:

Hello Michelle and Tom,

Thank you so much for contacting me and most importantly Welcome to New Hampshire.

I think once you see what we have to offer, you'll fall in love with New Hampshire and Hampstead in particular. I hope that I can help you "see and feel" a little of what I see and feel about Hampstead.

I've included in this e-mail some links to articles that I have written about Hampstead and the surrounding areas, a short video and 2 virtual tours of the town. One is a fall/winter tour and the other is one I made especially for you.

As we discussed on the phone today I have gone ahead and set you up to receive automatic listing alerts so that when anything new enters the market that meets your criteria you will be notified.

I have also set up an account for you on our website that will allow you to search all currently listed homes in Hampstead and surrounding communities.

Just follow the link below and if you have any problems with the directions I gave you, just let me know... don't forget your pass word is "Monika".

Hi Monika - it would be next summer sometime. I've already told him we just have to come. I feel like I know you already! 

Jay should be in the Big Dog House!! I think you should get a BIG SHINY something for your anniversary after saying you snore!! Why is it that men think they don't!  Mike even scares the dog with his snoring! LOL!

Hi Monika - WOW!!! You did an AWESOME job with this entry! Love the layout and the links you included are terrific. These buyers certainly, in my opinion, can't help but fall in love with your area - you painted such a beautiful picture with your post. Your videos really add a lot to showcase Hampstead and why you love the area that they're sure to as well. Great entry and good luck in the contest! Ann

Incredible post Monika!

Great information, links and video - then, you wrap up the entire package perfectly:

Monika - I don't know where our fickle buyers Tom and Michelle will end up but I for one am ready to move to NH. At least with Paris she might actually buy from all of us. I have heard tales that after she talked to me she spotted in Miami as well talking with Ines. Fickle...

Ashley...I'd love to sell you a home in Hampstead. Paris does have enough money to buy from all of us...so we'll let her be fickle.

But Tom and Michelle...they really fell in love with Hampstead. I think they are just covering all the bases...trying to be sure before they sign on the dotted line.  :)

Wow, I want to move there.  I have never been to New Hampshire, but it's a place that is definitely high on the list now. I know that my husband really wants me to take him there for his birthday soon, but I think I'd rather go in the fall (his birthday is in January).

I want to move there too....hey Miss Moni this is on a scale of one to ten a fifteen! Loved the screen shots too. I'd love a summer home there so I could get my fill of lobster :-)  Your clients, I don't know if they are even from New England, but one thing I loved about living there all those years ago was how close it was to so much natural beauty. Hiking, swimming, day trips, Boston.  Even NYC is not that far away. And then there are the sand dunes yes!

Jay and I are leaving for the Mount Washington Hotel tomorrow morning for the NH Association of REALTORS Convention. We're meeting Ann Cummings there...it should be fun and educational. I wonder if Ann is bringing Flat Matt??? I can feel a blog post coming...
