I am seeing a sharp increase in relocation buyers looking to buy a home here in the Manchester NH area. The leading reason is great jobs. Some are being moved by their employer while others are moving here to find work. I am seeing a pattern though in what they are saying.   Take the latest relocation buyer being transferred to NH to work for a leading defense manufacturer here in the area. The company has their own relo people. You as the employee can choose to work with them, or can choose your own agent to work with.    This particular buyer called me Saturday evening. They were angry. They chose the company agent as  they really did not know they had a choice and that there would be a difference. The drove from CA to NH as they did not want to fly. They called their agent to see ho... 06/09/2020

Here in NH we are a little off the beaten path. Some say protected from the world in some senses. Part of my Real Estate duties i do not talk much about is property management. I do both residential and commercial. So yesterday when news came in of a protest here in Manchester NH, many businesses wanted their fronts boarded up.    Having to go back and board the doors after the employees left, we were tasked with the additional duty of watching over the workers, vehicles and tools. Their was 2 protests in the area, one small and peace full and the other rowdy teenagers. Now no where near the big city groups, numbers or damage. Maybe 40 of them by 930pm as darkness fell.    Not getting into anything political or taking sides, we were there to do a job and leave. kids maybe 12-13 on bike... 06/03/2020

Imagine an agent from another company calling and asking you if they priced their new listing right? You do not have to wonder any longer, as it just happened. I did ask why they called me and her reply was that the seller said that I probably have sold the most homes in that area.   The questions were popping up like corn on a hot fire. How did she price the home? The answer was, "well, Zillow of course." I fast forwarded to the thought "why did the seller hire this agent?"   Before I could ponder my next thought, she told me. She is a friend of the seller. Been working real estate for a couple of years part time. By now i pulled up the home in MLS and then kind of figured why i am getting this call.....  The poor seller was my next thought.   IN SUMMARY, I was nice to her and answere... 05/28/2020

Everywhere I go I get asked a series of questions. What is the Real Estate Market like? Followed closely by "Are any Homes actually selling In the Manchester NH area?" Many are actually very surprised to hear YES, Homes are indeed selling. The third question is often, "Have the prices crashed?" Actually no.

Have you ever heard of a seller insisting something stays with the house whether the buyer wants it or not? I was knocked off my chair when a would be seller told me the cats come with the home. I did not see any cats as we toured the home, so I inquired what she meant.   It seems as though the seller as some "outdoor cats". There are also quite a few feral cats in the woods behind the home. The seller is moving in her with daughter so can not take any of them with her. She wants to make sure the cats are taken of.    Is this legal? Could i make this statement in the MLS? Will any buyer agree to it? Will it scare most of the buyers away?   Listing and Selling this home would be easy without having to include cats in the sale. It is not that i am talking down about getting the cats, my ... 05/21/2020

Could we be facing a flood of multi family listings later this year? Lets set the stage. Many tenants  here in the Manchester NH area were forced out of work by the pandemic and they are now unable to pay their rent. Many of the landlords count on this rent to pay their mortgages, taxes, insurance, utilities and upkeep of these investment properties. Without rent to pay, many will need to sell their properties.   If you own a multi family. If you own an investment property. NOW may be the time to sell while the inventory is non existent.   One of the issues is tenants do not realize the financial situation of a landlord. Many do not know where their rent goes. Some landlords are able to weather the storm and even waive back rent. Many are not in that position. Many tenants are communic... 05/20/2020

Last fall I went to a Listing appointment. At that time one of the questions the seller asked was, "Does it really matter who I list with? Aren't all agents the same?" This seller learned the answer the hard way. They chose an agent who gave them the highest price and was willing to list the home at the lowest cost.   In their eyes they would end up with so much more. They put no thought to pricing, marketing and communication.    I knew there was trouble in River City when in December they called with loads of questions. They did not list with me. They were still listed... so i could not answer most of the questions. They asked how they can get their agent to call them back? Why wasn't their home selling? Are all home sellers this stressed?   Lets start with with Why their home was no... 05/19/2020

Lets go over 2 distinct plans. You list a home for sale. The seller has the home ready for buyers on a Monday. The price is set, the ads are placed and the marketing is set to kick in. HOWEVER, do you start showing the home right away? OR do you wait and start your showings on a Saturday say 10am to 2pm when all buyers can come see the home?    As you you ponder this thought, lets get some background information on this question. Many big companies are holding showings back and waiting until the next weekend to start showings so they can be all on one weekend.   The traditional thought is you list a home and start showing it the day the seller says they are ready to go. Showings are completed as they are requested from buyers or their agents. Offers can come in day 1.    SO which plan ... 05/16/2020

The Internet is full of "advice", and in the latest version, has buyers calling and wanting to receive the buyer agents share of the commission when they do not have a buyer agent. Lets set the stage. I am the listing agent. My contract is with the seller. I agree to list said home for said fee. My job is to sell the home and take good care of my seller.   I wake up and there is an email from a buyer who saw my new listing. They love the home and want to buy it. They include the fact that they have no agent and do not want one. They include a price they want to pay and that they will represent themselves. They add great detail about their lives and end with the demand they receive the buyer agents commission for representing themselves.   Lets look at the facts. They have not even seen... 05/15/2020

Lets offer over full price than get our discount after the home is inspected. So how much can we lower the price after we have our inspection? That was an actual question from a would be home buyer. There are many parts of this strategy I would like to touch on.    First, no buyer or their agent should be using such a strategy. Purchase price should be based on what a home is worth. Offering more with a hope to discount it later upsets many people along the way. It is also a sure fire way to lose your dream home in this market where sellers say NO WAY.   Lets take a look at what went on. Being an older home, it needs some work. The asking price of course reflects the homes value in it's current condition. As the listing agent I go over what other similar homes have sold for. Go over wh... 05/14/2020

One of the most asked questions to me would be "Are any Single Family Homes actually selling In the Manchester NH area?" Many are actually very surprised to hear YES, Homes are indeed selling. The second question is often, "Have the prices crashed?" Actually no. In 2019 the average sales price for a condo in Manchester was $263,809. In 2020 the average sales price for condos is $283,369. Most often I get a puzzled look that the market is still strong. Followed closely by the seller asking if I can help them sell their home. Lastly, I get asked about safety. The answer is that we have pre-cautions in place and discuss everything with you up front. All open houses are canceled We ask buyer to review our virtual tours before setting up a showing. We ask buyers to drive by properties before... 05/12/2020

How many of you get scared when you hear the words "Home Inspection"? Whether you are a Buyer, Seller or Real Estate agent, everyone perks up a little when it is time for the inspections.    Most home inspections go very well. Is it by accident though? That would be a NO. The only part of a home inspection that gets me worried, are when a home buyer states "I found the inspector through an online search." You often hear me say that all agents are not created equal, that goes for home inspectors too.   Lets start with if you are the HOME BUYER. Start your search by asking your buyer agent for a couple of names of who the best inspectors are. Do not leave your choice of inspector to a spin on the "Google wheel."     WHAT MAKES AN INSPECTOR GOOD? That would be one who is not just experien... 05/12/2020
