If you're considering Berlin homes for sale, a VA loan can be an excellent option. As a benefit available to veterans, active-duty service members, and eligible family members, VA loans come with specific advantages that can help make homeownership more affordable. Our real estate agents at Badger Peabody & Smith Realty are here to guide you through the process of using a VA loan to purchase a New Hampshire home.
Once a year at Badger Peabody & Smith Realty, we try to partake in one group outing that showcases an area we work in – this year we were pleased to enjoy a trip up the Mt. Washington Cog Railway to the Northeast's highest summit, Mt. Washington!
It was a rare day, as it was CLEAR at the summit and all the way up! What a brilliant day for a special trip!
We had close to 60 agents and staff members participate and they took lots and lots of photos! On this clear day, they could see the ocean, the mountains and everything in between!
Thank you to Randall Armor and the rest of the folks at the Mt. Washington Cog Railway – it was great to have your help coordinating the trip and to hear the stories about the mountain. We loved your hospitality! No wonder the Cog is considered a "must do" when visiting the area!
In addition, all of our agents and staff got a great long sleeved t-shirt to remember the day. Thank you to Embroidery by Everything Personal in Littleton, NH for making them – they are perfect!
Also a big shout out and thank you to our staff who worked to organize the event, Sara Curtis, April Reinhard & Elspeth Richardson. In addition, a big thank you to our agents & staff who helped to capture the event in photos – Eric Turchon, Wendy Holmes, Debbie Anderson, Honour Kidd & more! We loved getting to partake in such a great activity and something here in our own backyard – we love living here!
To see more photos of the event, flip through the album here.

As one of the 13 original colonies, New Hampshire takes special pride in observing Independence Day. Our real estate agents share the scoop on some of the top holiday events planned around the state.

You have a prospective buyer for your home, you've settled on a price, and you're headed to closing. The buyer may decide to have a home inspection. A home inspector will go through your home and report on items that may need to be addressed before closing or in the future for the buyer. Our real estate agents can help you when the report comes back, but when you're getting ready for the inspection, or even before you list your house, here are a few basic things to look for on your own to prepare.
