A Chat with the Sellers of 5 Riverside Avenue, Lisbon, NH
We are pleased to feature a chat with one of our current sellers in Lisbon, NH. Our property owners at 5 Riverside Avenue have owned this multi-family property for a couple of years now, and now offer this in-town charming property that could easily be converted to a single-family, live-in-one-and rent-another and have someone else pay your mortgage. Or add to your investment portfolio and have frontage on the Ammonoosuc River .

Advantageous Aging Add-Ons
For those of us basking in the luxury of pre-half-century ages, the inevitable is lurking just around the corner. Heck, for lots of us, it is right on the proverbial doorstop. It's the scourge of old age. I need to be careful how I choose my words today; at 47 I'm no longer a spring chicken. I start my days with 20 minutes of yoga and stretching (honestly, I don't know how anyone over 40 starts their day without it!). I need that time to "wake up" my body, loosen everything up and prepare for the day. For what it's worth, I strongly encourage you to try it!
A couple weeks ago I lamented my lack of cross training and the penalty (in sore quads and calves) I paid for 2 days after the hike. Another thing this highlighted for me was the inevitable desire to live on one floor. Two flig...

Fall Foraging Fun
Although the forecast is teasing us with warmer temperatures (back in the 70's for next week!), we are currently deep in the throes of fall weather. The cool nights, the crisp (raw) days and the inevitable changing of the leaves are all upon us. One of my personal favorite parts of this time of year is breaking out the sweatshirts and long-sleeved T's. I also love bundling up and taking in a football game. I'm guessing it is the Nordic blood in me, but I really enjoy these cooler temps.
Another great benefit to the cooling season is really just for buyers. This week I want to review a few of the benefits of searching for real estate in the fall. The last 2 homes we purchased were both handled after the heat of the summer had waned. Although it wasn't planned, we were able to take advantage...

Chaotic Kid Clutter
In today's age of global turmoil, in-fighting, social upheaval and, let's be honest, complete and utterly baffling, mind-numbing ignorance in our political world, there's at least one thing we can all agree on. Kids are just the worst. Wait, what? Is it just me? OK, I'm kidding (really!). While I've decided not to bring another hungry mouth into this world, there are a small handful of kids out there that are pretty cool.
For some reason, perhaps my advanced age (still hovering under a half century), I have this odd desire to spend a little time with kids who are old enough to speak but still too young to fully understand the world they are about to inherit. I think I'm fascinated by their focus on those more important things in life like: Are all the pieces to this puzzle in the box? Am I going to have enough Lincoln Logs to finish the roof? Is it ever going to snow so we can skip school and go sledding? For now, I'll have to rely on my friends with kids (you know who you a...
