Hello Everyone!

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty

This is my first post to AR. I've spent the last week doing tons of reading, getting ideas of what kinds of things people would like to read about so my posts will have substance.

Nashua New Hampshire Real EstateA little about me: I'm a Realtor from the southern New Hampshire, particularly Nashua area. In a previous life, I wrote software for a major telecommunications company. I became a Realtor partially because I enjoy working with people (I'm between introvert and extravert), and I'm able to manage my time between my own activities and those of my kids.

I have lived in southern New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts for the past 20 years. I'm familiar with the entire state of New Hampshire, having traveled it many times, going to my parents house in Vermont.

I became licensed in 2003 and immediately saw the value of internet marketing. My website, southern New Hampshire Real Estate, has enjoyed the top positions for the most popular search terms. Business has slowed down enough to allow me to give my website a complete facelift. I've been so busy, I haven't been able to do major changes on it. Stay tuned for the "new and improved" website.

My main specialty is relocating customers to/from New Hampshire and Massachusetts (I'm also licensed in Massachusetts). I work with agents from across the country to ensure a smooth transaction whether they are buying or selling there. I believe in fully educating my clients so they know exactly what is going on, during every step in the process. Even if they have bought a home before, chances are, it was 5 or more years ago and as we all know, the rules have changed.

I think AR a great community with tons of sharing going on, and I hope to be able to contribute my knowledge I've accumulated over the years.

Hi Linda,
Good for you!   When I first started, I just jumped right in and did not read the community guidelines or group guidelines so I was flying blind.  First blog with links?  Wow, I'm impressed.  Welcome.

Hi Linda & Welcome to AR!

I am a transplant from Mass. to NH, too.  I work out of Keene, although I live in Westmoreland (I can see Vermont from my window!).  Active Rain is a great place to meet others and learn all kinds of great things from blogging to marketing to you-name-it!  It looks like you're already a seasoned pro when it comes to blogging and the internet!  I look forward to reading more of your posts soon.  Welcome aboard!

Hey Kim! I call all of my Mass clients "mass-plants!" There are so many of them! Anyways, I get quite a few leads over the course of the year that want to live in the Keene area. I have yet to find a good agent who will take care of them. It's just too far away for me to give them the same high level of service. Would you be interested in being part of my referral list? I'll add your information right now to Top Producer!
