As I passed by Littleton Chevrolet one of our local car dealers, I couldn't help but notice the large dumpster out front with the two "clunkers" in it. I love the visual, and I think its such an effective way to promote the Cash for Clunkers program. In fact I was going to take a picture of it, but the Associated Press beat me to it, and I saw one of Littleton Chevy's sister dealerships - Springfield Auto Mart in the Wall Street Journal with their own dumpster and clunkers.
But I digress, what does the...
As a marketing person, I often times get excited when I see a business doing something new, or innovative. Recently, on my way home I saw some sign posts going up at an established business in our area, but I realized, this was a business that had never had a sign. The business - Schofield's Septic Service. Schofield's is located on busy Route 302, just outside of Lisbon NH and they service septic systems all over the North Country of New Hampshire and beyond.

Finally, as I was leaving the offic... We are getting ready to pull some market data for the Central NH/Plymouth NH real estate market to use Thursday night during a presentation I'm giving for AHEAD. AHEAD stands for Affordable Housing, Education and Development and they are part of the national NeighborWorks HomeOwnership Center. They are based out of Littleton but cover Northern and Central NH, its a great organization and one that we are proud to work with. This Thursday, July 9th from 6-8 pm AHEAD will sponsor a free workshop with AHEAD called, "Homebuying in Today's Market". Some topics will include a look at current market conditions, how to negotiate a good deal, how it works when you purchase foreclosed and bank owned property and how real estate is an asset. We presented this workshop a few weeks ago in Littleton, NH and due to its success, this one will be in another AHEAD service area, in Plymouth, NH. We'll...
