Your White Mountain New Hampshire property expert; ASKS?
Why / Hire a Buyer Broker For your second home purchase?
When buyers are at a distance from their purchase there can be lots of critical items that can be over looked.
Why / Buyer representation, the listing agent has a fiduciary duty to the seller, not to you. Sure we all attempt to be fair and answer a buyer’s questions honestly…but what if you don’t ask? Then who is looking after your best interests? The seller is not paying his agent to volunteer possible issues that could occur down the road…only the known material facts of the property.
How / can a buyer know what the best properties are worth, sell for, or have the best locations? All buyers can search on-line for price and size, but you can’t tell what work has been done, updates completed, or special attention has been paid to one place Verses. another. The lowest priced property in a community may have a price advantage over the others but if it’s on a busy corner, beside a dumpster...or is the only one that hasn’t put in the updated heating system…you could be paying for it later.
When / Negotiate from strength, we can all find comparable sales that can justify the asking price, but don’t you want to know what to offer based on the real “similar closed sales” not just the best sales that help the seller’s position. Know the actual cost of the updates, repairs and replacement cost from your local expert not the seller’s hired expert.
Who / will the seller’s agent recommend you hire for the home inspector, bank or title company? All home inspectors I have used do their job independently, and without special treatment to the agent that recommended them as far as I can tell. But I have had sellers agents say there is nothing that can be done about a noted defect in a property…sorry. This agent is not your advocate, if you would still buy if things could be repaired or made up to code…your agent (the buyer’s agent) will in most cases find a way to make it work. Or tell you, you should walk away…when circumstances dictate that this is in your best interest.
What / Association issues, many vacation communities have common area assessments to fund the maintenance and repair of roads, club facilities and other budgeted items. Many times the current fees are on the listing sheet for the casual observer to assume they are a fixed amount (and a stable fee). When in fact there could be a special assessment looming for a major replacement item. New Roofs are a big concern, when the capitol reserves have been under-funded or when the 20 year life expectancy fails before the funds are available.
When / Town needs affect property taxes, in a similar situation as the common area fees the town the property is located in could be looking to do a major addition to the local school, buy all new police and fire equipment or replace the town sewer treatment plant. These warrant articles can be up for the next terms vote, but if you don’t live here how would you know?
Who / will be your eyes & ears after the sale; second home owners will always need an agent to call when they live out of state, in my mind once a client always a client. I have keys to places I sold years ago, and I’m still called on for electricians, plumbers and deliveries.
This is your chance to buy your dream recreational or retirement home.
Second home and retirement properties are big investments, don’t forget to have an advocate looking out for your best interests when you buy. It can make the difference between getting the best value or getting headaches you couldn’t have seen coming without an experienced guide.

Sunrise under cloudy skies...Ok Good Title, But Otter Rocks & Rainbows...Steve Have you completely lost your mind? I assure you I have a little bit left, but there are a few places in the National forest of New Hampshire that you just have to see to understand this post. I must be at school before 7 am, and that leaves me a little time to cruise the National Forest lands on my way to work. Take a look at some of this morning pictures and then ask yourself is he crazy...or just lucky to live on the edge of 800,000 acres of wilderness.
Sunrise under cloudy skies.
Otter Rocks...picnic area along the Kancamagus scenic highway...had my coffee here this morning.
Rainbow over Campton Dam, my daily ride after the school drop off...100 yards from the branch office.
And Now for your Foliage update...Pictures taken 10/06/09...before 8am.
Rte 112 Lincoln I would say we are at peak...If you want to get the best viewing Columbus Day Weekend will be the best its going to get this year (Lincoln New Hampshire..2 miles from the Loon Branch office).
Pemigewasset Look out point along the Kancamagus...sun just coming up, If I didn't have to work I would have stayed for the full sunrise, I'll leave that to the paying customers (national forest overlooks are free).
Lincoln-Woods Ranger Station is the first place in the national forest you can park and hike from. If you walk over the cable bridge you can get to the Appalachian trail system which has trails from the Carolina's to Maine, or you can simply enjoy the view of the river on the first 2 miles of flat terrain.
One of the look-out stops at the Hancock range...all these photos were taken no more than 5 miles from down town Lincoln...maximum enjoyment for minimum effort, I got back to town while my coffee was still hot.

My wife who is the Guest service manager at South Peak Resort, Put on a great party last night. I posted earlier about Mo the clown/ balloon twister...now on to the adult portion of the night. Great Music and Wonderful food.
First up Bruce Marshal, who played many of the tunes he played with BB,King, the Marshal Tucker band and others. We played a bit of "name the sixties band" recalling our days Growing up in Sudbury Mass together.
It was an intimate affair and the private show was enjoyed by all.
Not to be out done by the music, Tony's Italian Grill did a superb job catering the Autumn South Peak Home owners party.
The Appetizers...smoked salmon, cheeses,duck, and clams...nice start..Tony!
Main Course..Squash, Red Potatoes, Veggie Lasagna, and pork tenderloin.
Sweets..Maple Syrup Cookies, Pumpkin Cheese cake, Puffs, Chocolate...and more
The horse drawn wagon rides were canceled due to rain, but everything else came off without a hitch.
Vonni Loynd, you are a Goddess...Bruce you are ever so talented, and Tony...I love your Food, and Live a mile from your restaurant on the Woodstock Thornton town line, So I'll be seeing you soon.
Additional Thanks To Annie Bahr...who helped corral the kids, with coloring and cookies decorating your terrific.
