Satiating Snappy Sellers
I need more coffee, so I could only come up with the word "snappy" for my title this morning. The gist of our topic today is encouraging impatient sellers whose home is still lingering on the market. Coming from someone who sold his home in early March, I can tell you it is not easy sitting on one's hands waiting for that "right" buyers to come along. Today I want to explore a few strategies that might actually help you move that thing before the flowers start to bloom again.
Any of you who have been reading along over the past few years, as well as those of you who have some experience (or a well-educated friend) in real estate, are going to be very familiar with the first tip. It is as simple as doing your homework and knowing your market. A friend of mine is an agent in the Denver area and he...

Hooky Helper
I'm playing hooky today! I'm writing this on Wednesday and with all the snow we've been getting, enough is enough. It is time to get out and play. I'm fortunate to work for myself so I don't have to come up with an excuse (or a sick voice) and "call in". Because of the beautiful snow and a fairly light workload right now, there is no better time to do it.
I have owned my own business for 6 years now. During the first few years I called on my mentor and close friend, Sean, for help, insight, advice and a shoulder to scream on. One of the best pieces of advice he ever gave me was when the workload is light, get out and hike. At least get out and do something you enjoy because the phone will start ringing again and the emails will start coming in. Enjoy the time when you can (or when you need it!).

From the sellers of Maple Leaf Motel at 150 West Main Street in Littleton:
Twenty years ago we lived in Lake Placid, NY .
We liked it a lot, but had grown weary of working for others. Circumstances offered us the opportunity to make a drastic lifestyle move and become our own bosses. The big question was, of course, what to do. We rather quickly decided to explore the lodging or marina sectors of hospitality.
Our criteria was relatively simple:
- We wanted something that we could operate with little or no additional staff.

A Chat with the Sellers of 15 Maplewood in Meredith, NH
We are pleased to bring this feature to our blog, a chat with the current homeowners of 15 Maplewood Circle in Meredith, NH. A love story. A man and a woman that both value family above everything else finally found each other in this crazy, hectic world. They merged their homes and also welcomed a new baby to create an incredible family of 8! They built this home 4 years ago to be big enough for everyone and to have lots of little "hang out" spaces throughout the 14 rooms. The picture is complete with a large master retreat where they can pamper themselves in the jetted tub, or just close the door for quiet time. They thought they would cherish this home for many years but a job relocation has pushed them to pack up and find their next stepping stone on life's path. You can benefit from their careful planning and move to this wonderful cul-de-sac location! Read on to hear...
