Winter finally arrived in Southern NH and the Seacoast Area when on March 1st we got nearly 11 inches of snow.

How to Handle a Low ball offer
Finally an offer comes in and… wham it’s way below what they’ve expected. They want to walk away, tell the buyer to go pound sand, yell and scream at their REALTOR but instead they need to take a deep breath and remember that a bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush and look at the offer with the following three tips in mind!
Finding a Good Real Estate Agent to Sell Your Southern NH or Seacoast Area Home
It's not always easy to find a "good" real estate agent to sell your home. Where do you start? How do you know the agent knows there stuff? Are all agents created equally? Is there a difference between an agent and a REALTOR? How do you find the best real estate agent? Is it the one with the most signs, the biggest office or makes the most money?
It's a big step and getting the right agent to sell your southern NH or seacoast area home is crucial and will go a long way to help ensure a stress free process.
This short 4 minute video will help answer all those questions and more and PLEASE give us a call at 603-944-9172 to discuss your home selling options.
Welcome to Atkinson New Hampshire
Atkinson, NH is a small but popular bedroom community close to the Massachusetts border. Located just a few miles north of Interstate 495 off Exit 51B on the route 125 exit makes it an excellent commuting town.
Atkinson is also home to a little gem known as The Atkinson Resort & Country Club and a challenging 18 hole championship Golf Course all nestled in the charming countryside. In the wintertime residents use the golf course for cross county skiing.
Atkinson historically has had a strong re-sale value mainly due to its great location and relatively low taxes.

Rye New HampshireRye NH is one of those bedroom communities where if you blink you would miss the town center. But, if you were to drive along the coast you will never forget the dramatic views of the rocky shoreline or the majestic view of the Isles of Shoals as it sits awaiting your visit about 10 miles off shore. Driving along coastal route 1A in Rye you can see some of the most prettiest views you will see along the east coast. Monika and I usually try to make a drive along the coast at least once a month during the winter and twice to three times during the warm summer months. It can be really beautiful as you pull off to some of the vista view points on a warm summer breezy evening and sit and watch the waves crash along the jagged rocks along the coastline. The smell of the salt air and low tide brings a whole new meaning to way life should be. You have to love the ocean to know what I mean.
As we finished 2011 we reflect back on the home sales for Rye and we compare them to the home sales of 2010. Home sales in 2011 were up 4% over home sales in 2010. But, home sale prices were down 12.5% from 2010 to 2011. Days on the market were down 6% which is a good thing for sellers. With prices down and interest rates at historic lows we look for another great selling season in southern New Hampshire.

I have been a New Hampshire real estate agent since 1984 and have been training other agents since 1988.
I live in Hampstead NH with my husband and business partner Jay. Jay and I work together as a real estate team for Prudential Verani in Hampstead. He holds down the sales front while I spend a lot of my time training agents. Together we have over 44 years of real estate experience behind us.
I teach ABR, SRES, GRI, Quick Start which is a new agent training program and Ethics courses for the New Hampshire Association of REALTORS®. I also teach several courses including Agency and REALTOR® professionalism through out the states of NH, Vermont and Maine. I have several classes that I have developed that are approved for continuing education credits for license renewal in NH,VT and Maine.
Since becoming a REALTOR® in 1984, I have twice been honored to have been selected REALTOR® of the Year by my peers. I have served on several committees, chaired the professional standards committee for several years, as well as being a State, local Director and an orientation instructor for my local board.
I have also been very active at the New Hampshire Association of REALTORS®, a long-term member of and have chaired the professional standards committee, the legal committee, served on the Executive committee for 2 years. I have just been selected to chair the Professional Development committee.
I am a National Association of REALTORS® trained Professional Standards and Mediation instructor. Currently I am serving a second 3 year term on National Associations of REALTORS®, Professional Standards committee.
I continue to work in the field listing and selling real estate on a daily basis. Over the years, I have attended countless seminars, conferences, conventions, and continue to promote the REALTOR® image and spirit that I so strongly believe in.
I discovered my passion for teaching early in my real estate career and I am really proud to be able to offer hands on skill development programs for REALTORS® of all levels.

From a recent class…"Professional conduct and proper business practices should be part of licensing requirements." "Good open discussion on good business practice. Monika is very clear in presenting material & allows others to interject freely""Monika does great job training. She is always a pleasure to listen to & very knowledgeable. She does a great job making sure the class understands what's being taught.

"Very helpful hearing the different scenarios/stories from other agents and Monika. Also, recommendations very helpful." "Good sharing of information" "A very good class" "Great topic-should be required each year for all agents or for recertification." "It was very informative.
