Tonight’s the night to set your clocks ahead by an hour.  The appointed hour that Daylight Saving Time officially begins is 2am Sunday morning, March 9th this year.



This year, we spring forward 3 weeks early, and then when fall comes, we fall back an hour a week later - that gives us just about a month of extra daylight enjoyment this year!  And who wouldn’t love that??!?!!?

The rewards that most people think of when selling real estate in Portsnouth NH, or anywhere for that matter, are the paychecks we receive when we have a successful closing.  What many who aren’t in the real estate profession don’t realize is that there are some wonderful PRICELESS rewards we reap as well. 

There are all the wonderful friendships that are made, the great joy of finding that perfect home for people, the sense of pride in helping first-time buyers into their first home that they may have thought to be unattainable, and so much else that just can’t be measured in dollars and cents.

A while back, I worked with a wonderful young couple who got engaged while we were looking for their first home.  They were sharp, on the ball, smart, and both have a fabulous sense of humor.  We met at one of my listings that they’d found on my website.  I showed them through the house, having fun while doing so, and as the showing ended, they let me know that this just wasn’t the house for them.  They then asked what the process was for buying a home, so we chatted for a bit, and then in the middle of me telling them about the home-buying process, he said, “We already know we like you, and we want to know if we can work with you”.  Just like that, they wanted to know if THEY could work with ME.  They told me they knew I would be a big help to them if I would please work with them.  And they said I was “fun".  FUN? You bet!
