We have added to our Commercial team at the Franconia office, with the addition of Kim Lavoie as a Commercial Sales Associate. As all of our commercial agents do, Kim will focus on selling commercial properties, large multi-family buildings, leasing of commercial business space and business brokerageservices. She joins Mary Doherty & Andy Smith, our other full time commercial "geeks" as we affectionately call them at the office. As far as commercial sales are concerned, the commercial real estate market here in Central & Northern NH has been very active as of late. We are finding that confidence is starting to return, and business owners are getting ready to expand and grow into new space. Kim moved to the White Mountains area eight years ago, relocating from the seacoast of NH. She has owned and operated a variety of multi-family homes for over fifteen years. As her friends know, Kim is a great cook and entertainer, and she earned multiple degrees in hospitality from Johnson & Wales University. She is soon to be a member of the New Hampshire Commercial & Investment Board of Realtors (NHCIBOR) and is pursuing her Vermont Real Estate license. Kim lives in the great small town of Landaff, NH where she resides with her husband and children and serves as an active volunteer in the area schools and as a Trustee of the Trust Funds for the town. And if you are ever on a showing with her, ask her for her homemade pasta recipe – the area kids won't eat "boxed" pasta anymore after the homemade stuff!
