We Recognize Our Peabody & Smith Realty Agents & Staff!
We Recognize Our Peabody & Smith Realty Agents & Staff!
The year 2020 was certainly out of the ordinary, and for many, filled with personal pain. In our company, we experienced all kinds of emotions and at all different times – and sometimes in just a minute! The real estate market in New Hampshire was strong starting in the spring, and continued strong through 2020. It was a year that brought new business protocols and an influx of buyers unlike anything we had seen before.
To celebrate the highlights of the year, we gathered virtually in early February to recognize our agents and staff. This year the applause was over the speaker of the computer, but the smiles and exuberating of our team was as loud as ever.
In 2020, we recorded grand total, gross sales in excess of $208 million dollars, according to statistics from the Northern New England Real Estate Network. (Based on data from the New England Real Estate Network, grand total gross sales, NH & VT, all categories for time period 1/1/2020-12/31/2020.)
We distributed over $20,000 to area organizations including: AHEAD, Boys and Girls Club of the North Country, Franconia Ski Club, Holderness Historical Society, Littleton Regional Healthcare, Squam Lakes Association & Many More!
At the end of the award ceremony, we awarded the "Peabody & Smith Realty Residential Sales Associate of 2020" to Beth Horan. Beth has been with the firm for over 20 years and works in the Franconia office and services clients and customers in the North Country.
We also recognized the top agents for each office, and with that, we recognized the following agents:
Bretton Woods, NH Office: Michele Penner
Littleton, NH Office: Nikki Barrett
Plymouth, NH Office: Missy Sullivan
Holderness, NH Office: Jerrod Mitchell
Other awards included:
Highest Overall Customer Satisfaction Rating in 2020 – this award is compiled from all of our returned surveys – Fran Mattott was awarded this with the highest overall customer satisfaction rating. (5 is the highest you can get on our surveys and sometimes clients and customers write in higher numbers.)
Oval of Excellence – Mt. Monroe Level awarded to: Debbie James, Mary Dragon, Linda Matheson, Mary Doherty, Steve Gorman, Paty Ciotto, Fran Mattott, Jackie Elliott, Angela Spencer, Anne Foss, Debbie Engelhardt.

My Favorite Things On My Desk – From Ray Newton!
As I take in all that is in my desk, it occurs to me how central this rather small, 24x36 inch surface is central to virtually everything I do in real estate. Of course there is the usual clutter: coffee cups, weeks old post it notes, folders waiting to be properly filed and more pens and pencils than I could ever possibly use. Periodically, these are cleared away and the essential items always remain.
Of these, the computer is always there and as with the lights, it is always turned on when I am at my desk. The other essential tools always at hand are my calendar and planner. Scheduling appointments, arranging showings and meeting deadlines can be a bit overwhelming at times, and I try to keep my schedule in several places. I know it is overkill, but I keep my schedule in several places. My planner, my desk c... 5
Fun Things to Do in Central NH in Fall - from Ray Newton
As the days continue to grow shorter, the brilliant fall foliage has since faded and fallen. The first blanket of snow is still a few weeks away, but the white capped peaks at the higher elevations serve as a reminder that winter awaits. It is a quiet time in this part of New Hampshire, but that doesn't mean that there aren't numerous activities available for most everyone!
Ray Newton tells us more!
November can be an excellent time for a short day hike. Rattlesnake Mountain in Holderness is a favorite in the summer, but this time of year, you will miss... 20
