steve loynd alpine lakes real estate: A ski resort Realtor's - Busman's Holiday. - 03/08/12 03:57 AM
 
I’ll call this latest adventure a busman’s holiday. What does a ski resort Realtor do on his day off…he checks out other resorts, designs and amenities – of course. I’m interested in what others have done successfully in developing their facilities and how they build their slope side homes, condos and other real estate.

One of the homes we designed and built at Loon Mt Lincoln NH
 
 
 
Here are some of the A-B- C’s of what a great mountain offers to it’s patrons. A High enough summit to be above tree line, snowboarding events to attract … (6 comments)

steve loynd alpine lakes real estate: Adirondack design - Slope side at Loon Mt- Lincoln NH - 10/13/11 10:41 AM
After a hugely successful Builders Show case of homes over the Columbus Day weekend, I thought I would share some of the interior finish work we put in these homes. The traditional Adirondack home takes advantage of the materials found locally...that was when they built them in upstate New York at the turn of the century. Now we can get Granite - and exotic species of woods to the site easily...so we are not limited by transport or the lack there of.

steve loynd alpine lakes real estate: White mountain Sunset - Sunday - 09/25/11 01:08 PM
Traveling through Franconia Notch State park is always breath taking, and when you happen to time it right a sunset is a super bonus. Enjoy tonight's sunset.

.................................................Sun going down - over the White Mountains.......................................

The last of the blue sky's fades to orange and the mountain shadows of the national forest...fades to black.

I hope you enjoy the trees in the foreground, that break up the sky line of the setting sun.

I seem quite appropriate that the sun set caps this Sunday night. The last Sunday in September and the first Sunday of the Autumn … (7 comments)

steve loynd alpine lakes real estate: White Mountain Winter Seasonals are going fast at Loon Mountain 2011-12 - 09/06/11 03:48 AM
No matter what else is happening in the real estate market, people still want their recreational activities they have come to enjoy. Ski Season rentals have been brisk, while sales may be slow...skier will ski and many have turned towards a six month rental rather than buying this year. I have had a few that structured a deal that would allow them to purchase the property they are renting and apply some on the rent towards down-payment money.

steve loynd alpine lakes real estate: Easter rabbit - boy or girl? - 04/18/11 12:56 PM
I saw the Easter bunny out my back door. My cats let me know their was a visitor lurking near.

He or she seemed to be asking for something. Or maybe he/she wanted in?  

He or she crept right up near the back door and kinda peered in.

This scruffy bunny didn't have any eggs that I could see...he or she might have been casing the joint for next Sundays hidden treasures. You know the little round pellets rabbits leave behind...

steve loynd alpine lakes real estate: A Ten Year Condo Report on the Loon Mountain NH area real estate market - 02/07/11 05:57 AM
I was recently ask by a client to give him some historic data to support the notion we were in a real estate recovery for my market area. With an idea where prices were headed in the up-coming months or years.

This was for a wide spread price range from a low of $50,000 to a high of one million (this excludes deeded … (10 comments)

Life's too short to learn from your own mistakes, let me show you what 26 years as a Realtor has taught me.
                         
Clients tell me all the time they found “my information” when applying some basic search terms to the geographic area I cover. That’s great, but if the post they landed on was a photo journey of a recent hike, or a new condominium I just listed…how much can these potential clients truly know about me? I’m more than a pretty face that knows which side of a camera takes the pictures. I’m here to connect with real … (13 comments)
