Want to sell your business faster? Want to improve your profits and potentially increase traffic to your business listing? Companies can “go green” and make money doing it. Replacing aging assets often pays for itself quickly and adds value to the business and its marketability. I would recommend taking some time to investigate the benefits of equipment upgrades to your operation. This will likely result in greater efficiencies and lower costs. There are a number of programs sponsored by companies and non-profit organizations in New Hampshire.

Converting older, less productive equipment will save money and pay for itself reasonably quickly. Replacing an old furnace with a newer, more efficient model will reduce heating costs dramatically-sometimes by half. Buy a gas furnace over an oil burning furnace to reduce emissions and purchase one with a high annual fuel efficiency rating for optimum performance. In addition, the government offers a tax credit if you purchase it before the end of the year.

Most people would balk at doing something like this prior to selling their business but let’s look at it as a selling feature. You increase the value of the property by installing a new asset, you have reduced costs which will improve your balance sheet and you receive a tax credit. Sounds like a good a very good move to me.

Precision controlled fans, energy efficient light bulbs, better windows and siding and automatic light switches are all things that will reduce your costs and  your carbon footprint while improving your property’s worth. Paying for these upgrades can be daunting but there are programs to help secure funding and some grants to offset initial costs and studies. Call me today to talk about how we can increase the value of your property and set it apart from other businesses on the market.

People that move to North Conway NH and the surrounding towns of Mount Washington Valley often do so with the intention of buying a business and living a pastoral yet rewarding life not unlike that of Bob Newhart and his inn full of crazy natives. If it were only that easy-wait, it is that easy. Too easy. There are many businesses for sale from Conway to Jackson and Bartlett and each town in between. So how to find that perfect place in the sun? Perhaps we can shed some light on the subject with a few tips. (more…)

Drive down your main street and you will undoubtedly notice some For Lease signs. Properties available for short and long term rentals are varied in size and shape and designated use. The contracts for these can be convoluted and are often slanted in one or another direction.

Conway, Bartlett, Jackson and North Conway, particularly,  have a lot of signs advertising for tenants. (more…)

 Great primary or second home in Jackson

Jackson has long been a desired location in Mt Washington Valley for both full time residents and vacationers. Its quaint village center, beautiful views and low property taxes are among the reasons why Jackson is so well loved. If you are dreaming of cozy chalet in the mountains, 15 Middle Mountain Trail could be just right for you.

This home features 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, a large deck and a grassy yard, perfect for those lazy summer days. In wintertime, warm up beside the wood fireplace after a day of skiing. Newer roof, new windows and a recent paint job add to the home’s solid value. For more information including additional photos, click here.

If you would like to schedule a showing of this or any other listing in the valley, please visit our website or give us a call at 800-322-6921.  We look forward to helping you with your White Mountains real estate needs.

Wildlife abounds on Glen Ledge from moose, to deer, to bobcat,to wild turkey to that big old black bear that utilizes bird feeders as a toothpick.  Oh and his thoughts on grill covers.  Rip.   Being on the backside of Iron Mountain which is the home of the Jackson/Bartlett transfer station (town dump was the phrase in my youth) it’s only a short stroll for the bear to wend his way through neighboring yards and eventually nosing around my yard for any overlooked treats from previous visits.  He usually grunts and heads off to the brook for a drink sending various birds into a screaming frenzy as he leisurely rolls through what he thinks is his yard.  I think I’ll give him the tax bill next time he ventures through.
