I wrote a blog about a wonderful window cleaning product, Invisible Glass that just makes the windows sparkle. Want to Sell Your Amherst NH Home? INVISIBLE GLASS SECRET Well I got a call from the company that sells the product.  They thanked me for my nice blog and endorsement of their product and what could they do to help?       They are shipping me a case of samples for our agents and customers.  Now I AM going to give these samples to our agents and my sellers because this is a win/win.  The sellers will have beautiful sparkling clean windows and we will have great properties to sell. So the company makes a powerful window cleaning product that does just what it says it will do AND has a great marketing and customer service department.  It is great dealing with a company that gets g...

Winter in Amherst, NH REALLY wants to stick around.  I was just calling it a night when I was struck by how much snow is falling outside my window.  The forecast now says we are in the 12" zone and the worst is yet to arrive.  Really??  So, maybe in Amherst, NH, April Snow Showers Bring May Flowers. Here, see for yourself: That is the scene outside my windown tonight.   This is what I'd like to see, and soon! If we really do have a fresh 12" on the ground when I wake up, I'll post pictures.  On the bright side, we'll have more amazing Spring skiing.  Come see us!   Caroline PS- School has been cancelled for tomorrow!  But the end of the school year may now be July 1st.  LOL Photo Credits:  Stowe Meadowsand Caroline DeVore.  Images used with permission.

Love this shot and love it even more with the color enhancing.  Daughter Hannah is a member of the Amherst Middle School girl's basketball team.  The Lady Eagles had a strong season.  Hannah, already 5' 9" is my basketball wonder.   Girls Rule!  Go Eagles!

Want to Sell your Amherst NH home? I am in my seller's home and the sun is streaming through the windows (boy they listened to me and they SPARKLE!)       I ask what are they using for Window Cleaner and they tell me Invisible Glass.  I say, never heard of it, where'd you get it? Walmart. Off to Walmart I go later that day, I locate it in the automotive department and I buy two bottles.  Guess what I did last weekend? It is the BEST, the BEST JERRY, of any window cleaner I have every used. Amherst and Bedford sellers, go purchase some invisible Glass and then Call ME... Invisible Glass and Rene Brin can sell your Amherst NH home for you!

Amherst and Bedford NH area buyers want what they want and there is much to choose from in the Southern NH homes on the market that they really can find just what they are looking for and at a great price. Buyers today want a deal, they want to feel they are getting better than a fair value today and their offers reflect this. Buyers want homes that are in pristine condition. They are not interested in painting, updating or remodeling. If they are going to tackle a fixer upper, hold on to your pocketbook because they are coming in low. Buyers are looking for seller contributions towards their closing costs, whether bank owned, short sale, foreclosures or conventional, most are asking for a seller contribution to closing costs. Open floor plan is still king. buyers want to have eye conta...

  Thursday is Buy Local Day – InSideNH salutes Earthward Natural Foods in Amherst, NH Thursday is Buy Local Day – InSideNH focuses this week’s Buy-Local blog post on Natural and Organic Grocery Stores with a spotlight on Earthward Natural Foods and Co-Op located at 42 Route 101A, Ponemah Farms Plaza, Amherst, NH  03031, 603-673-4322, www.earthwardnatural.com.   “You are what you eat”, now that’s an adage we’ve all heard and one that seems to carry some weight these days as we learn more and more about GMOs (Genetically Modified Organism), Preservatives and Hormones in our food supply.  I’d like to take this old adage a step further and say, “You are what your food eats”.   Let me explain. Over the last year, I’ve put a serious effort into finding greener ways to feed my family and I’ve ...

So I am sitting across the table from my sellers who look like deer in the headlights.   I ask what is wrong, I have a great offer here, a nice clean buyer, great bank preapproval with plenty of money down and its just a perfect deal. The sellers are squirming and now smiling and Mrs. Sellers says "OY we didn't think you would actually SELL IT!" I told her great, my new headline for advertising. They had their home listed with another agency and didn't have any luck, poor performance from the Realtor and were surprised that we did what we were supposed to do in a short period of time. Another reason why sellers should list with local NH Realtors®. And this card arrived today, how cute. List your Amherst home?  Call Rene, she'll get the job done.

  Spring Into Action with FreeCycle.org If you feel an urge to Spring Clean, checkout FreeCycle.org. It has officially been Spring 2011 for just over 24 hours now.  I wouldn’t know it based on the snowflakes falling outside my window, but yes, it is officially Spring. I was inspired by this afternoon’s sunshine and temps in the balmy mid-40’s to start Spring cleaning.  I vacuumed 3 lbs of roadway sand from the floorboards of my car along with enough of my 18 month old daughter’s Cheerios to feed a small country.  Then I turned my attention to the “storage room” over the garage.   Who do we think we are kidding when we call these collection areas of our house “storage”.  Storage for what?  I’ll tell you what, storage for “One Day”.  - One day, when Hannah graduates from college and gets ...

  Every Vote Counts in Amherst, NH If you’ve ever wondered whether filling in a small circle on a ballot really could be a swing vote, wonder no more.  Town Election Day in Amherst, NH was Tuesday, March 8th.  It was a miserable, rainy day and many town roads were closed due to local flooding.  Folks who went to the polls on Tuesday should be commended because the extra effort to cast votes was a bit over-the-top, even for die-hard New Englanders. Article 26 on this year’s ballot is a terrific example of why your vote really counts.  Article 26 called for the lease or purchase of a new rescue pumper for the Town’s fire department.  When the polls closed on Election Day, the vote was tied at 1022-1022.  The recount occurred this week and the numbers changed, but not the results;  1023-10...

Here in New Hampshire we are so ready for Spring market, we are working on our new listings and it is sad we have to put them out there with these snow photos on the outside.  A couple of my sellers have not been able to put their hands on outside digital pics with green grass and nice landscaping shots to use in the listings. So we have the batteries on charge in the cameras, photographers on alert and I would say we are stocked up on film but we are digital.  I think one or two more good rains will do it and I hope that should be by next week.         In the meantime, here is one of our new listings on 28 Simeon Wilson in Amherst priced at $529,000. Imagine how pretty the landscaping, front brick walkway and flowers will be in another month!

Antique Amherst NH Real Estate Office Front Porch, Then and Now Our Amherst NH real estate office is the old Station Master's home.  Harry Heath had it custom built in 1901.  It's a Craftsman Style (called a Four Square) and has the most delightful front porch.  We rock, we have meetings, we share a cup of tea or afternoon lemonade and Yup, we even get together in the late day for wine occasionally. I had shared a photo last week of our porch in Spring and wanted to share another view of the front porch taken in early 1900's. Station Master's Wife, Mrs. Heath on front porch at 108 Ponemah (photo courtesy Bob Hart) Front porch at 108 Ponemah Present Day Horse and Buggy at 108 Ponemah, not sure if its Mrs. Heath, but it is the Heath girls.(Photo Courtesy Bob Hazt).   Call our Amherst NH R...

  Thursday is Buy Local Day – InSideNH focuses on Amherst, NH  Coffee Shops and Coffee Roasters and salutes A&E Coffee and Tea   Ahhhh, Coffee.  Around the world, so many of us start (and end) our day with a cup ‘o Joe.  I’m with ya!  I love that first cup of coffee….and usually take my first sip standing at the counter beside the pot.  I actually tried a diet one time that was “anti-coffee”.  What!  That lasted 2 days. Just like research that shows drinking a glass of wine each day can have positive health impacts, drinking coffee, in moderation, has positive impacts on my well-being.   As a corollary, I think my friends and family appreciate the “happier Caroline” after I have coffee in the morning! I have been in pursuit of a perfect coffee blend for the last year or so.  In addition...

  Thursday is Buy Local Day – A Spotlight on Amherst, NH Businesses – by Caroline DeVore, I’m a Realtor and I’m a “Local” “Thursday is Buy Local Day!”  I saw this headline on an email that I received today from a local chef-owned restaurant.   I thought it was a simple and powerful message, along the lines of “Meatless Monday” and “Buy American Made”.  I’ve been thinking about how to use my real estate blog to help customers, friends and new folks to the area really get to know Amherst, NH.  Ah Ha!  As a Realtor I’m a trusted advisor and expert on the local housing market; as a 20-year resident of Amherst, NH, I’m an “expert” of sorts on where to find those fantastic local businesses, farms and artisans who really make our community a place to call home.     “Who is the best butcher”, “...
