Michele Engel of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Verani Realty has been named the 2017 Lakes Region Board of REALTORs (LRBR) REALTOR® of the Year. Engel was given the award during the Board’s June meeting at Church Landing at Mill Falls in Meredith.
“I am honored to accept this award,” said Engel. “It has been a pleasure working with my fellow REALTORS® in the Lakes Region for the past 20 years.”
For some, retirement eventually means downsizing or moving to a community with amenities that complement their retirement interests (like golf courses, lakes, or even just one-floor living).
No home is perfect, though you may be browsing and think there are a few out there that fit your needs and desires better than your current home. It can be hard to decide whether your current house should undergo some renovations to make it what you want, or if you should simply sell and buy one that is turn-key ready.
Here are five things to consider when weighing whether to renovate or to move:
To celebrate Laconia Motorcycle Week, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Verani’s Belmont office invited bikers to kick their stands up for a good cause – the Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auction. For a minimum donation of $10/person, visitors could fuel up with pancakes before taking a two-hour ride ending at Patrick’s Pub in Gilford, where there was a raffle and prizes.
When it comes to renovations, we all tend to picture the life we’ll live in that newly upgraded space. But, there are some pricey renovations that will not bring you much in value when it comes time to sell and that you probably won’t end up using. There are some very common ones that homeowners think will be beneficial and end up being a waste of money.
Buying a home takes time and patience, so when you find the right house for you, you’re probably eager to sign on the dotted line, move in, and take a break from paperwork – and spending money. But what can you do to protect your purchase? After all, a home is one of the costliest and most important things a person will buy in their lifetime.
You are ready to buy a home, but maybe you are uncertain if you should hop in the car and attend a few open house events in your desired neighborhoods. You are not alone in this confusion. Why give up a portion of your Saturday when you can schedule a showing next week?
The kitchen is the heart of the home and one of the most important rooms when it comes to pleasing potential buyers. Countertops in particular play a big role in just how fresh and stylish the room appears at first glance.
Countless meals may have been prepared and veggies diced on its surface, but which materials hold up best, which are the most expensive, and which are less likely to attract buyers?
The official start to the summer season is fast approaching, and warm weather means barbeques and lots of outdoor entertaining and enjoyment. Before you host your first big cookout of the season, it does require a bit of preparation to make that outdoor living space feel welcoming after a long winter and wet spring.
Trees can add so much beauty and value to a property that it might be wise to plant a couple, especially if you are thinking of selling your home. Without a doubt, some of the loveliest spring-flowering trees, like the apple serviceberry (Amelanchier X grandiflora) for instance, adapt well to a range of growing conditions and add tremendous beauty and curb appeal to your home.
