There are some awesome buys out there! But what happens if you don’t have the money to make the necessary repairs? You’ve found your dream home…a diamond in the rough, at a great price but you don’t have the extra money needed?
I asked long time mortgage officer Steve Blier those very same questions and when he started to answer me I said how about writing a post for the New Hampshire Real Estate Blog instead? Rather than just educate me, I thought why not share it with all of you. Especially since so many of you are interested in buying NH bank owned (REO) properties.

Driving through Raymond NH on our way back from a CMA (market analysis) appointment the other day we saw this mailbox in front of The Pines Seafood restaurant.

I wrote this quite a long time ago and our take a tour show below won first place on the Active Rain Real Estate Social network we belong to. So, if you are looking for a great place to get a way to this summer… this is where you need to go.
Boothbay Harbor Maine has long been considered the ideal Maine vacation destination. The peninsula is rich in history, an artist delight, and has a robust year-round community. Boothbay Harbors location just under 3 hours from the border of New Hampshire makes it a hop skip and jump away for a quick weekend get away. Read more

After the long nightmare drive home from DC I didn’t think I’d ever want to get back into a car again! But, then yesterday, Jay suggested a ride to the beach. He had a craving for a Ceal’s seafood chowder and we knew that Ceal’s had just opened for the summer…so off we went! It was a gorgeous day to drive along the coast!
We enjoyed the AWESOME Seafood chowder while sitting in the car watching the ocean waves caress the beach. The chowder was incredible…chock full of fresh seafood…oh was it ever Yummy! Read more
