New Hampshire Real Estate Licenses a Strategy for Maine Firm

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 12, 2008 – York, Maine - Recognizing that the unique service provided only through the Sotheby's International Realty brand is not currently available in New Hampshire, brokers Linda Briggs and Kristi Samber of Anne Erwin Sotheby's International Realty, located in York, Maine, have recently earned their New Hampshire Real Estate licenses. This enables them to join owner Eileen Roberts in offering real estate services in the neighboring Granite State.

Expanding the Sotheby's brand of service into New Hampshire means wider selection for buyers working with Anne Erwin Sotheby's International Realty, and provides potential New Hampshire sellers with the opportunity to utilize the Sotheby's International Realty brand in the marketing of their properties.

"In order to better serve our clients, many of whom include the New Hampshire Seacoast in their search for property, all of our agents are encouraged to receive their New Hampshire license," said Eileen Roberts, "and several more Anne Erwin agents will soon be licensed in New Hampshire as well."
