Looking to add your house to the list of homes for sale in Franconia? A Peabody & Smith real estate agent can help you get a good price in the following ways:
Developing a Pricing Strategy
A common mistake among sellers is to ask for a price above the market value. Rather than helping you negotiate a higher closing price, this tactic turns most potential buyers off of your property. People who try this tactic actually end up selling their house for less than its market value.

Halloween Helpers
Chances are good that there are lots of Halloween events happening around town this weekend. Get out there and enjoy the festivities.

PSR Recognizes Agents & Staff
2017 was a great year for Peabody & Smith Realty, and with that, we like to take a little time to celebrate our agents and staff and their accomplishments! This year we celebrated again at the Indian Head Resort in Lincoln, NH on Saturday, January 20th. We enjoy recognizing the hard work of our agents and staff and sharing some of the professional accomplishments they had as well. Many achieved a number of Realtor designations and more! The day started with a seminar for our agents and staff with national known and sought after speaker, Adorna Carroll of Dynamic Directions. Adorna is a national real estate speaker and travels around the country delivering dynamic and engaging programs for real estate agents. She shared insight from her experiences as a broker, as well as ideas for the agents in their own careers. After Adorna's afternoon presentation, we enjoyed dinner in the Lake View room at the Indian Head Resort, and then shared a few...
