“This figure represents the highest sales achievement in our company’s 25 year history,” Roche indicated, “We surpassed our 2004 sales volume of $131 million, which was the strongest year in New Hampshire’s history for real estate sales.
I attribute this record setting year to our dedicated Real Estate Professionals and our hardworking Administrative & Marketing Staff. Their commitment to superior service day in and day out certainly made things happen. The company averaged $3.1 million in sales volume per week during 2016. The average selling price amounted to $276,009.”
He continued “We invested a significant amount to improve our worldwide internet exposure. We have continually upgraded our website www.s21794.p694.sites.pressdns.com, our internet optimization and our marketing presence on approximately 80 national and international websites. In 2017, we will launch a new and improved state of the art website, which we have been working on for 2 years. Through our worldwide connections with luxuryrealestate.com, luxuryhomes.com and other portals, we have increased our market reach immensely. Rocherealty.com is one of the most visited websites in the Lakes Region.”
Since 1997, when statewide statistics started, Roche Realty Group, Inc has sold over $1.8 billion of New Hampshire properties, involving 6,799 transaction sides and has ranked in the top 10 real estate firms in the entire State of New Hampshire out of 2,285 firms statewide reporting sales during this 20 year period.
The company produced a strong showing in 2016 in waterfront sales on many of the lakes throughout the Lakes Region, likewise, the semi-retirement and second home markets also produced strong results fueled by a growing economy and low interest rates. Communities such as South Down Shores, Long Bay, Lake Houses at Christmas Island, Misty Harbor, Nature’s View, Samoset, Lakewood, Patrician Shores and the other water access communities are showing excellent activity.
Roche, a 40 year veteran of Lakes Region Real Estate commented; “I’m proud the company has continued to maintain a group of very knowledgeable and experienced Realtors®. We were also fortunate to have several younger associates join our firm who have had an exceptional year. I’m particularly proud that our firm has grown consistently on its own, unaffiliated with any national franchises. We always want to stay a local, family owned, independent firm. Today, we are one of the largest, volume wise, in the entire state of New Hampshire.”
