If you have ever had the experience of returning to an old “stomping ground” after a significant time away, you can appreciate the experience I had this past week. After spending considerable time away from where I used to call “home”, I returned for a visit. While I’m content and excited about my new location, [...]

I seem to find myself using clichés quite a bit in my musings. Perhaps, in my advanced age (VERY early 40′s), I’m realizing all those “old people” before me actually learned something in their day. Regardless, there is lots of truth to those sayings and this one is no different. In fact if my last [...]

We talked a bit about listening a couple weeks ago and some of the feedback I got was how important it is to not only listen, but ask the correct questions. If you have spent any time at all in sales, you understand the power of questions. They allow the listener to “steer” the conversation [...]

In fact, on average, homes with high-quality photos are viewed about 60 percent more than those without photos. I’d have to take that a step farther and say that low-quality [...]

I don’t know about you, but anytime we get to celebrate a holiday weekend twice is a good thing in my book. When Independence day falls on a Wednesday, it tends to spread out the festivities and gives us a reason (excuse?) to fire up the grill, have friends over and enjoy the kick-off to [...]

I keep reading articles talking about a perceptible shift into a seller’s market. My gut reaction is to look around North Conway and see what is happening for us locally.
