Many people ask how to get a gravatar, that little picture of you that shows when you comment on Blogs.
I’ve included a link that will take you to a site to create your own gravatar. All you need to do is enter your e-mail address and a link will be sent to you. Follow the link and create a password then upload an image you’d like to use. While some people may use images of pets or signs, it is recommended that you actually use a picture of yourself.
Creating your own personal gravatar can be fun and it can also be changed when ever you want to. I change mine during a holiday or seasonally. You may have to reduce the size of the image if you use one that is too big.
New Hampshire Association of REALTORS® Professional Standards Seminar
The New Hampshire Association of REALTORS® Professional Standards seminar presented by Dianna Brouthers on February 10th and 11th was by all accounts a fantastic program! If you were not in attendance this year be sure to put it on your schedule for 2011.
Roger Turcotte, Chair of NHAR’s Legal Committee had this to say about the seminar:
NHAR members often suggest that our association do more to enhance the reputation of REALTORS® in NH. Certainly an advertising campaign is helpful but nothing can take the place of REALTORS® taking matters into their own hands. The over 450 NHAR members who attended the 2010 professional standards seminar gained a significant point of difference over their competitors by acquiring up to date NAR ethics information from a national expert. If you didn’t attend this year’s program make sure to attend the 2011 program – your clients will be glad you did!
Video Highlights of the 2010 Professional Standards Seminar
Below are some video highlights of this years event… see and hear for yourself what fellow REALTORS® who attended the program thought about it.

New Hampshire REALTORS® have every reason to be extremely proud that they not only survived 2009, but in fact sold more homes than in 2008. That was a huge achievement considering the near-record depth of the Great Recession.
During 2009, the bad news just kept coming. New Hampshire’s unemployment rate peaked at 7.2 percent in September – the highest it had been in almost 17 years. There were over 3,400 home foreclosures in 2009, almost as many as the nearly 3,600 in 2008. As if that were not enough, total statewide employment fell by over 15,000 jobs between November 2008 and November 2009.
But that was so last year. What about 2010? Well, the consensus of most economists is that the recovery from this extraordinary recession will get underway this year, although they also predict that the recovery will be slow and that it may take two years for our state to get back to some semblance of normal, whatever that is.
NH home sales continue upward surge
The good news regarding the housing market continued in December, with residential sales ahead of December 2008 sales by 17 percent. Additionally, year-end sales for 2009 were ahead of 2008 by 6 percent, marking the first time since 2004 that year-over-year home sales had increased.
