For over thirty years, Laura Usher has been a part-time resident of Holderness in the Squam Lakes area of New Hampshire while being a full-time real estate agent on Cape Cod and the South Shore of Massachusetts. While Usher is still an agent on the Cape, she decided to join Badger Peabody & Smith Realty as a New Hampshire real estate licensed Sales Associate, working out of the firm's Holderness NH office – an office located directly on Squam Lake.

Usher said, "Over the last 30+ years, we've been splitting our time between the Cape in the winter where I work full time and being here in the summer. I decided when I obtained my New Hampshire Real estate license, I would join Badger Peabody & Smith Realty. With a team concept and an affinity to put the needs of clients and customers first, I knew they were the right firm for me to join. For years I have been impressed with the firm and the presence they have in the community and was attracted to the local management with Broker/Owner Andy Smith on site to assist the agents, sellers and buyers."

When in Massachusetts, Usher is licensed with William Raveis Real Estate. Like Badger Peabody & Smith Realty, both are independently owned by active broker/owners and both firms are members of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World and Luxury Portfolio. This membership creates good synergy for Usher and her sellers and buyers.

Andy Smith said, "We are pleased to welcome Laura to Badger Peabody & Smith Realty. With the first meeting we had, I knew Laura would fit right in with our agents in Holderness and Plymouth and be a great resource for sellers and buyers."

Usher has been a licensed Realtor® since 1993. She has a background in mortgage lending, real estate law, commercial property management, residential sales, second home & resort sales.

As part of the Holderness community, Usher supports a number of local organizations including the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, Squam Lakes Association, Holderness Historical Society, Church Island and The Loon Center in Moultonborough.
