A SHORT HISTORY OF PINKHAM REAL ESTATE

Pinkham Real Estate first opened its doors in 1963. The name at that time was Pinkham Associates and was founded by Charlie and Gertrude Pinkham. Gertrude had sold real estate as a hobby in Topsfield, Mass., but Charlie had been in advertising as Marketing Director for the family business – Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. in Lynn, Mass. before moving to New York as Chairman of the Plans Board of Erwin, Wasey Advertising Agency. So both needed to learn the operation of a real estate business in North Conway from the ground up. Their first need was to find an office.

They had “retired” to Intervale, where Gertrude’s father, P. J. Harney, had built a home (now Riverside Inn) in the early 1900s. As it happened, the Pinkhams’ son Peter at that time was owner/operator of Eastern Slope Inn in North Conway, and housed his front office personnel in a building a few blocks down Main Street, named Birchmont Villa. It was a former guesthouse, which Peter leased from Mrs. Gibson, Harvey Gibson’s widow. He rented the Villa’s former dining room and kitchen to his parents, which they remodeled for their new venture. (more…)

In today’s market, determining the right price for a sale or purchase is not easy. A property that sold at one price one week may not be worth as much (or could be worth more) the next. No one wants to feel that they have paid too much or sold for too little. How do you know what kind of offer you should make or accept? Now more than ever, you need to work with a professional who specializes in the local real estate market and can help you solve the elusive question of price. (more…)
