We are pleased to announce our firm, and our partners at Badger Realty were each recognized with top Member Achievement Awards from Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® (LeadingRE), our global network of market-leading independent real estate firms. We won during a special awards ceremony held virtually. ?? 

Both of our firms won the Momentum Club award, given in recognition of achieving notable improvement in their broker-to-broker referral production in 2020. Business-to-business referrals are the mechanism real estate agencies and their agents use to assist our clients and customers in any area of the country and throughout the world.?  

Additionally, we won the Award of Excellence for Outgoing Referral Production. This award is presented to the member firm that has introduced the largest number of clients per sales associate to other affiliates within the network within their company-size category.   

As Jessica and I both handle relocation at our firms (along with other duties!) we feel being able to service a client who has been entrusted to us by a real estate agency from another part of the country is, in itself, an award. For us, these company and agent introductions enable our clients and customers to work with other exceptional agencies both locally and globally, and we are happy to set up introductions to help make this happen. If we can ever help you, please feel free to give us a call!

In Dick Gould's opinion, the individuals who have purchased lots at Ledgewood in Bethlehem, NH have bought a little piece of heaven. 

We recently interviewed Dick for this video about Ledgewood and for our Peabody & Smith News regarding the sell out of all the lots at Ledgewood Phase II. 

Dick shared how he remembers his daughter's comments as she first viewed the acreage more than a decade ago when she told her dad that, "Living in New Hampshire is like going to church, but living on this piece of property is like having a conversation with God."

"In my heart, I know that there are other places that have a similar effect on people," said Gould, the developer and Ledgewood homeowner, "but I am thankful that our family found ours here and have been able to share that experience with others."

Phase I, which was developed over 10 years ago, sold out over succeeding years, but Phase II of Ledgewood took a dramatically different turn partly in response to the pandemic. First opened in the Fall of 2020, Phase II was sold out in less than 6 months.

Andy Smith, our Broker/Owner said, "Buyers during the pandemic were looking for big views, acreage for privacy and space, and places to build their dream homes and create those gathering places for friends and family."

To listen to Dick share his vision for Ledgewood, click here:

Ledgewood Phase II included 18 parcels ranging in prices from $199,000 to $450,000 and set on over 800 acres in Bethlehem, with stunning views of Mt. Washington, Cannon, Lafayette, Garfield, Twin, and Galehead. The property includes 175 acres of common land, onsite ponds, woodland, walking trails, protected shoreline along the Ammonoosuc River with incredible fly fishing opportunities, and a private fish camp. Moose, deer, bears, turkeys, foxes and numerous songbirds are found throughout the property.

We were so pleased to be a part of Ledgewood, and were pleased to introduce Ledgewood to buyers from all around!
