Taxes in Vermont and New Hampshire
Since the Upper Valley includes communities in
both New Hampshire and Vermont, I am often asked
"Where is the better place to live?"
Of course, there are many variables. One of
those variables is taxes. In a recent POLITICO LIVE article,
Vermont governor Peter Shumlin thoughts are discussed.
The heated responses on both sides of the political spectrum
are indicative of the firestorm created
whenever taxes are mentioned.
New Hampshire does not have an income tax or
sales tax as does Vermont but NH real estate property
taxes are among the highest in the nation.
Here is more information regarding NH and VT taxes from The Tax Foundation:
Why Do So Many Dartmouth Graduates Return To The Upper Valley?

Not too long ago, CNN Money recently named Hanover, NH #2 in
the 25 Best Places To Retire in the United States.

New England
Alfred Laighton 1829-1887
What though they boast of fairer lands,
Give me New England's hallowed soil,
The fearless hearts, the swarthy hands
Stamped with the heraldry of toil.
I love her valleys broad and fair,
The pathless wood, the gleaming lake,
The bold and rocky bastions, where
The billows of the ocean break;
The grandeur of each mountain peak
That rears to Heaven its granite form,
The craggy cliffs where eagles shriek,
Amid the thunder and the storm.
And dear to me each noble deed
Wrought by the iron wills of yore--
The Pilgrim hands that sowed the seed
Of Freedom on her sterile shore.

Children's voices in the orchard
Between the blossom- and the fruit-time:
Golden head, crimson head,
Between the green tip and the root.
Black wing, brown wing, hover over;
Today grieves, tomorrow grieves,
Cover me over, light-in-leaves;
Golden head, black wing,
Cling, swing,
Spring, sing,
Swing up into the apple-tree.

Answers Your Questions
QUESTION
What does it cost to have you as a buyer's agent?
ANSWER
The fee is negotiated between you and me. For Multiple
Listing System properties that fee is usually built into
the price and there is no additional charge to the
buyer; it is paid by the listing agency.
For non-MLS properties, should you choose to have me
also search For Sale By Owner properties, the
fee for my services would be paid by you,
the buyer, unless the seller is willing
to pay that fee for bringing the
buyer.This is often the case.
