2007 WAS A BANNER YEAR FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE BUSINESS SALES, WITH CLOSE COMPETITION FOR ASSOCIATE OF THE YEAR

For 2007 the Associate of the year award for New Hampshire Business Sales goes to Stan Evans of Wolfeboro for the second year in a row.

Stan had his best year ever out of the 6 he has been with us, and came in with a 17% edge on runner up Ed Settino, who also had his best year since joining us 6 years ago, and who was our Associate of the year in 2004.

Stan has continued to capitalize on his extensive business background in commercial lending, sales, business development, ownership, and brokerage to achieve this status.

Stan had a wide variety of sales this past year, including convenience stores, an oil distribution company, a printing company, a wholesale garden center, a medical services company, and some commercial real estate. In addition to the sales he managed he has an impressive list of properties he is currently representing.

Stan represents us throughout the state, from his home office base in Wolfeboro. Interestingly our two top producers this year both live in Wolfeboro since Ed Settino moved back there this year.

Our company had the second best year in it’s recent history, and our commissions collected was only second to the high we hit in 2004.

We expect that 2008 will be a year “confused” by Presidential elections and all the fears of recession, but consider it a good time to buy a business, so we are looking forward to increased competition among our Associates for the Associate of the Year honors for 2008.
