There's a new place in town!
Nonni's Italian Eatery-"Food Just Like Momma Used To Make"- recently opened in the Holiday Inn, Main Street Concord New Hampshire!
My son took us out to a "belated" Mother's Day dinner. I got to choose, so I wanted to try Nonni's...Italian food is at the top of my preferred list!
It was a Sunday evening so it was not very crowded...which was fine with me because I wanted to take a few pictures but didn't want to disturb people. We were seated by our waitress Katelyn who asked if we had been there before and when we said no she told us a bit about the menu. 
I did ask if it would be OK if I took some pictures for my Active Rain Blog and the Manager, Jennifer, was very gracious and said yes.
Our Chefs were Mikey and Robin 
The menu is very varied with something for every taste...including Brick Oven Pizza!
We started with a shared appetizer of garlic knots with oil dipping sauce...they were delicious! My son had Fettuchini Alfredo with Chicken and Broccoli, I had Lazagna (something I only get when I go out)...it was excellant! My husband had Chicken Marsala. 
He said it was the best he has had since Boston's North End!
It was a delightful dinner and I know we will visit Nonni's again.
If you are in Concord be sure to try Nonni's Italian Eatery at the Holiday Inn,172 Main Street Concord NH (224-0400)

I did a Members only mini-rant about a week ago about a Septic Inspection gone awry ! The day before that encounter the same company did an inspection on another listing of mine. This is an older property that was being serviced by a Septic Tank and a dry well-(A vertical leaching system).
When we had the system checked last week the afore mentioned company told my Seller the system was failed. This was obviously not good news. My Seller had already reduced the Sales price substantially and wasn't happy about having to invest more money.
In New Hampshire there are very strict and specific State regulations on Septic Systems. The Department of Environmental Services doesn't fool around when it comes to water and possible pollution! When a system fails it may be possible to "replace in kind" depending on a new perk test and other criteria. This system was one that is not modern but to replace in kind would have been the least expensive way to go. Anothr requirement is to have the system checked by an engineer who in turn will do a "design" and submit it to the State.
As you can well imagine it is a lenghthy process!
My Seller contacted Ernie's Excavation in Manchester, NH. Ernie was accompanied by Robert C. Wike of New Hampshire Septic and Site Service out of Goffstown. 
Ernie&Bob
Ernie really gets into his work! 
Robert, who is a Licensed Designer and Installer, examined the system carefully and determined that it was functioning correctly and definately wasn't in failure! My Sellers were extremely relieved!
I intend to write a letter of complaint to the Company that irresponsibly declared the system in failure. I have since learned that only a Licensed Designer can make that determination and that the young man who made the statement was in no position to do so!
What could have turned out to be a very drawn out and unhappy closing, is now starting to look like
A Delightful Spring Day!

I am a client oriented, married mother of one. I work in Buyer and Seller representation. I'm active in several Local and State Board committees. I also am a volunteer chair for a local non-profit
Concord, NH is my home. I work for Keeler Family Realtors, a family owned Agency that is celebrating their 30th anniversary this year .This family atmosphere and supportive environment makes for happy agents. There is always someone to give a hand,share their knowledge or even pick up lunch!
I concentrate my efforts on Merrimack County and towns within it. This has enabled me to be knowledgeable of values, attributes and unique traits of any given town or area. Merrimack County reflects an exciting diversity of landscape, villages, lakes,mountains,rivers and of course the Capitol City of Concord. This is a wonderful area to put down roots!
I have lived in the same house for the past 23 years and have seen Real Estate go through some remarkable changes.I have been married for 39 years and have one son, who is 25. We have two small dogs who are very noisy but give my husband and I many humerous moments! 
WHY ME ??
I believe that the most important part of my job is being educated in the process. If I know my business then I can use that knowledge to better serve my clients,both Buyer and Seller. To that end I make an effort to take many education classes as they are offered during the year. Last year I acquired my GRI from the RE Institute. That alone required 80 hours of education. I am also Certified in Buyer Representation. I have also been inducted into the NHAR Honor Society.
Real Estate is one of the few businesses that encompasses "friendly" rivals. To furthur good relationships in my RE community I am an active member of several State and Realtor committies.
Volunteering is an important part of my life. I am the Board Chair for The Parent Information Center, a local community non-profit. This organization helps familys with children with disabilities.I am also a volunteer for Main Street Concord Inc. serving on the Promotion Committee
I spent many years in the food service industry. For 7 years I had my own company -a cafeteria franchise business-Joni's Tidbits Cafe. This business required me to develop the skills of Management, Mediation, Negotiation and Positive Interaction. Real Estate was a smooth transition! Same skill set just a different venue.
In conclusion...I really love what I do. I meet many wonderful people. I am constantly challenged with interesting situations and I have unexpectadly discoverd a whole new circle of friends!
I will work hard for YOU.
Nurturing valuable associations with Lenders, Home Inspectors, and Home Related Service people whom I can recommend in confidence assures my clients of good representation. People who subscribe to the same Service ethic that I personally try to uphold
I like working with motivated Sellers and I pride myself on my frequent communication and collaboration with them. "Team work" sells! I always do assisted showings. No lock boxes or single broker showings. I feel your property is my responsibility, and to show it in it's best light ... I should be there.
I have additional training in Buyer representation. I have a special fondness for first time home buyers! Their special excitement is always "new" even after many transactions. And I never tire of it. I am proud to be a surrogate "Grandmother" to many new 2cd generations. I look forward to pictures and emails detailing their many milestones.
