Board the Buyer Barge
I'm writing with a heavy heart today. Our good friend, mentor, teacher, coach and fearless leader, Richard Badger, passed away just over 2 weeks ago. His knowledge of the Mount Washington Valley and his associated involvement in countless aspects of life here will be sorely missed. It always made my day when he would comment on one of my articles. I never saw him without a smile on his face and a kind word on his lips. He will be dearly missed.
Since we are on a bit of a buyer barge right now, I wanted to take a small step back and talk about a little strategy when it comes to buying. I tend to be a bit impulsive. When I see something I'm interested in, I jump in with both feet. I've tempered that insanity over the years, but it still gets me in trouble here and there. With a home pu...

Buyer's Brilliance
We all approach big purchases in our own (sometimes) methodical ways. Sometimes we research the snot out of the item before laying down our cash. We weigh the different brands, models, features and specifications to see which will fit our needs and budget. Other times we simply make an impulsive purchase based on our needs in the "here and now". I've certainly used both of those methods and almost always have a better result with the former. (Except when it comes to chocolate! There's always a need for that!)
When it comes to purchasing a home, an investment of that size calls for a bit of research. Even if you are desperate to get into a home, slowing down a bit can make a big difference in your overall happiness with the property. Today we're going to dig into this a little bit and focu...

Five Summer Pastimes to Enjoy from Your Squam Lake Home
Serene and idyllic, Squam Lake holds a special status in New Hampshire's Lakes Region. While its much bigger cousin, Lake Winnipesaukee, may be busier, Squam Lake offers a quieter, more tranquil experience that visitors and area residents have appreciated for generations.
Squam Lake is famous for being the real-life setting for the 1981 feature film "On Golden Pond," which starred Jane Fonda, Henry Fonda, and Katharine Hepburn. The lively towns of Holderness and Center Harbor hug its southern shores, with Holderness straddling the channel between Squam Lake and Little Squam Lake.
Homebuyers who invest in Squam Lake real estate can expect to live a home with breathtaking views of the lake or the surrounding mountains. During the summer, there's no shortage...
