Over the course of buying and selling many many residential properties, we knew that enlisting the help of a successful, professional real estate broker was essential to a successful sale.The Monadnock region can be a tough market, and we have seen properties languish on the market for many seasons and often more than one year.After talking with many people, there was consensus in our market and price point, and that was Buddy.Here is what Buddy did:-He responded very quickly to our inquiry. We found that this is Buddy's MO: he is always responsive.-He came out to talk to us about listing and selling our house. Buddy was very professional and walked us through the process as he saw it. This is also Buddy's MO: He communicates well- he gets the big picture and he gets the small details. Throughout our engagement, Buddy checked in just the right amount- he clearly understood what we wanted regarding communication and he was consistent in his checking in and updating us.-While Buddy is super responsive, he doesn't oversell or use pressure. He is the kind of guy who wants to make sure that there is a good fit. In our case, he told us what we could expect from him and from the process. This is exactly what we got. No surprises. Well, one surprise, but I'll save that for the end.-Buddy doesn't make promises that he cant deliver on. He does not set up false expectations. He did a very professional market survey, not only educating himself on our property and our micro market, but he was also educating us. We worked out a pricing strategy and because he did this from a deep market survey, we felt really comfortable with the pricing strategy.-We got the impression that Buddy would advocate for us, while at the same time treating any potential buyer with respect and consideration. This is exactly what we wanted: a broker who would be honest and ethical. Buddy was honest and ethical throughout from start to finish.-I could go on in detail about the ways Buddy helped to facilitate our sale: how he suggested we price and present the house; how to market; what improvements we should make, etc etc.-When offers came in on the house, Buddy calmly and professionally helped us to negotiate the successful sale of our property. No drama, no histrionics.Our one surprise? A wonderful surprise. We had an excellent offer, a drama free sale, all within a timeframe far far more quickly than we ever could have expected.Kudos to Buddy. We recommend him with complete confidence.Richard MannPrinciple/ Exec. VP.Red River Company, Inc.

From beginning to end, Buddy handled all our needs in a professional manner. Our particular situation required creative marketing and attention to detail. During the inspection phase of our negotiations, one problem presented itself which threatened to derail the agreement. Buddy researched and suggested an innovative solution to the problem and the outcome was successful. If you are looking for a real-estate agent who is proactive and honest, I would recommend Buddy Pope.

I have dealt with many brokers both in New Hampshire and Massachusetts and have seldom witnessed an agent as thorough, conscientious, and ethical as Buddy Pope. The last property I purchased in New Hampshire was represented by Buddy, and, although he was the seller's agent, he did practically everything a buyer's broker would have done for me, expecting nothing in return for the requisite courtesy and attention that he showed me. When I am need of a sales agent in the future, Buddy Pope will be my first choice without hesitation.

It is my pleasure to tell others what a wonderfully dedicated, warmhearted and thoroughly professional person Buddy Pope is. It was through his diligence and experience that we were able to accomplish something almost impossible in today’s market— a quick close and a good price on the sale of our home.

I thought for sure when we listed our house with Buddy that we were in for a long winter’s wait for the right buyer to come along. We had already been through one round of unsuccessful marketing with another realtor the previous year, and knowing full well that the market had declined even further over the last 12 months I suspected that our goal of a quick close would be impossible. But I knew right away that working with Buddy was going to be different. Not only did he ask important questions about our goals and priorities, he listened to our answers. And then Buddy went to work for us in a way that no agent, buyers or sellers, had ever worked for us before.

He made finding the buyer for our house look ridiculously easy. Less than a week after we listed our house with him we had an offer. Not only one offer, but the prospect of two offers lay before us. What a position to be in! I almost felt guilty! The next few weeks of negotiations and inspections were handled with a thoroughness and diligence that was amazing. Every question was answered, every problem addressed promptly and professionally.

Buddy is a pleasure to work with, and I recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a capable, thorough and responsive realtor who knows his stuff, and is fun to work with to boot.   

The corporate relocation process can be a daunting one. From our first contact with Buddy to the closing of our new home, I can say that Buddy far exceeded our expectations as a realtor and delivered exceptional customer service. Our family is settled in our new community and we have Buddy to thank. He receives an A++ from the Michaud family. Buddy, you are a consummate professional and have indeed earned our respect!

For our recent home purchase, we went through the home buying process without a real estate agent. Buddy was representing the sellers of the home that we ultimately purchased, and we were impressed with him from the start. The listing for the property we were interested in really caught my eye because of the professional photos and walk through video, which Buddy has in place for all the properties that he sells. The walk through video is one feature that I have not seen on many other agent's listings, and I think it is an extremely valuable selling tool. Upon initial contact with Buddy, I knew he was someone that I would be happy to work with. He was extremely helpful with all my questions and requests, promptly answering emails at all hours of the day and night. We looked at the property a few times and he even offered to give us a tour of the town since we were not from the area. Buddy really went above and beyond to sell us on the area and the home we were buying. Our sale was not a typical one, as it was a process that was drawn out over many months, but Buddy was very patient and willing to coordinate everything for us during that time. Even after our sale was finalized, Buddy was still available to answer additional questions I had and help with some items that came up after the fact. I think he is an asset to anyone buying or selling a home. We are currently renting out our existing home, but when the time is right for us to sell, we will definitely be enlisting Buddy as our selling agent!

Dear Buddy,

Please accept my apology for not writing sooner to formally thank you for the successful closing on our home in Hollis this summer. The sale could not have been in better hands. The best real estate decision we made was to use you; you deserve the credit for the rest of the story.

Only an extraordinary Realtor could have orchestrated such success in lieu of all the obstacles and surprises that potential buyers threw our way. Who could have predicted that a buyer would drop out within 24 hours of closing or that you would be able to pull together a closing with another backup buyer less than two weeks later! This success reflects your tenacious commitment to your client.

It continues to amaze us that in this year's struggling real estate market we were actually able to sell our home for five percent more than the listing price recommended by two other realtors we considered. Your research analysis to determine a listing price was exhaustive as evidenced in your initial presentation to us and ultimately proved to be an accurate reading of the market. You advised on ways we could enhance the value of our home, and we know that following your advice, whether it was a fresh coat of paint, staging, or cleaning out clutter, made our home more attractive and pleasing to potential buyers.

Beyond a keen understanding of the market, you are a man of integrity. We knew we would be represented with honor and honesty. You agreed that the best policy is to be forthright in disclosure; sharing ethical values is another reason we knew you were the right realtor for us.

We have gained a new respect for the real estate profession through our experience with you. You are the hardest working realtor we have ever had the privilege to work with. Your diligence, perseverance, and attention to detail were evident on a daily basis. You were patient with us, wisely advised us when ever we had a question, but never dictated to us what we should or should not do. We appreciated the respect you afforded us. Clearly we put our trust in the right realtor.

I wish I could thank you in a big way, such as having you represent us in the sale of another property, but for now this letter will have to suffice. We will always be grateful to have had such expertise and guidance from such a kind gentleman.

With best regards,

It was a true pleasure to have Buddy Pope as our real-estate agent. His professionalism, experience and skill truly helped us as we were searching for a property with severe time constraints and baby on way! Not only did he handle his obligations to us but he always went that extra mile to make sure my wife’s comfort and our timing needs were met. He always put us first. We are very pleased with the property and so happy that it is now our new home. I would recommend Buddy to anyone needing to get right down to business in their home buying process.

We just sold our house after many months on the market. Throughout all those months we got to know Buddy and found him to be most helpful. We were in contact often and we received excellent attention. In fact we often felt that we were his only clients-----knowing full well that this was not the case!

Any issue that arose was always explained thoroughly and with attention to details. Emails and phone calls to Buddy were answered quickly------ never keeping us waiting. We were notified when there was to be a showing and 99% of the showings were attended by Buddy. Because we don’t live in NH it was comforting to know our Realtor was at our house to make sure all was taken care of properly and the home locked afterwards.

We are very happy with all the interactions and service we received from Buddy. He is patient, thoughtful, kind and considerate and very knowledgeable. We recommend Buddy wholeheartedly!!
