As the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues, we at Badger Realty are continuing to monitor the situation closely and use guidance from our partners at Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, The National Association of Realtors and through the CDC and World Health Organization for best practices for our clients and customers, as well our own families and work family. 

To help reduce the possible spread of COVID-19, our offices will remain open, but we may have limited staff and agent presence on site if we find it necessary.   However, we are committed to keeping our offices open even with a smaller crew for as long as advisable. Our agents and staff have been on the forefront of the "work from home", "work from the car" and "work from anywhere" initiatives for years. These road warriors spent more than a decade...

As I find myself now in the position of searching for a new home, I'm reminiscing about the time when I built my first home over in Lincoln. Everything was new. Everything was mine. And the whole process of ups and downs, joys and frustrations was something I look forward to going through again someday in the future. If building a home instead of buying an already built one is something you aspire to tackle, today I'd like to cover a few of the lessons I learned in the process and hopefully better prepare you for this awesome project.

At the time of my construction I was working in a real estate office full time. This position afforded me the flexibility of blurring the lines between "working" and "working on my house". I was also fortunate to have a boss that loved construction and home design so he tended to jump right i...

Some things are better-appreciated first-hand. For the past couple weeks, I've been "trekking" my way up to 17,598 feet above sea level. At one point, we ventured up a nearby peak that topped us out at 18,514 feet. The lung-busting lack of oxygen is simply (and literally) breathtaking. We moved at a snail's pace and even that was exhausting. All that said, the hundred or so miles hiked to and from Everest base camp were filled with trials, challenges, illness, excitement and relief.

I say all that simply to say (in a not-so-subtle segue) that those things that challenge us and push us to our limits are very often worth the extra effort. We have talked before about the challenges of selling a home in winter. We have...

Last week we touched on some of the challenges of selling a North Conway NH home during the winter months. It is important to be wary of too much holiday cheer. It is always a good idea to ensure everything works and all lights are on. And it is also always a good plan to ensure that the walkway to the front door is free of snow, leaves and other debris that can cause a trip or at very least, a chagrin.

But what about the other side of the coin? What about buyers who are interested in home shopping during this time of year? There are certain considerations (and benefits) to being a buyer in the colder months. Let's explore a few of those today and...

With any luck at all, you got yourself outside this past weekend and enjoyed, not just the spectacular string of perfect weather we had, but some of the best foliage we have witnessed in many years. I was biking, hiking and fishing across northern New Hampshire on Sunday and Monday and found myself stopping to "smell the roses" on frequent occasions. During one of these pauses, it occurred to me that "these" are the views that people talk about. These are the scenes that are captured on countless cameras. These are a few of the many reasons we love to live here.

As I was enjoying the surroundings and the warm weather, I couldn't help but think about how this intangible and ethereal feeling we get, when overcome with that sense of wonderment, has a direct impact on the value of our
