There’s always one property that sticks with you, no matter how many homes you’ve seen. For me, it’s the House on Lost Acres, a place so mysterious it seemed to have vanished from records long before I arrived. My buyers were captivated by its charm—a stunning old estate hidden deep in the woods, full of history and intrigue. But the story behind the house was even more mysterious than its hidden location.
As I dug into the property’s title history, I discovered that it was... missing. No official documentation had been filed in decades. It was as if the house had fallen off the map, leaving behind a trail of rumors—family disputes, lost heirs, and an ownership that was as elusive as the property itself.
In the end, my buyers and I had to walk away, unable to claim a house whose title was lost in the shadows of history. To this day, I wonder if anyone will ever be able to reclaim the House on Lost Acres.
This experience taught me that a clear ti. ...

New Hampshire’s housing market is all over the national news, with record-breaking stats like 57.8% of homes selling above asking price over the last five years—almost double the national average. It's a number that grabs headlines, but behind it is a more complex story. Yes, the market is hot, and Manchester, in particular, has claimed the title of the hottest housing market in the U.S. for a record 29th time. But as someone who’s worked globally in real estate for over 24 years, I see this market in a way many don’t: it’s ripe for disruption, and unless things change, the same forces driving prices up will end up hurting the very people who keep this state running.
The Price of Success: What Happens When No One Can Afford to Live Here?
There’s no question that New Hampshire’s real estate market is booming. The state boasts a 76.4% increase in median home prices over the last five years, the second highest in the nation, just behind . ...

Welcome to a New Era in Real Estate!
As an Associate Broker at Keeler Family Realtors in New Hampshire and the CEO of Global Property Systems (GPS), I’m excited to introduce you to a cutting-edge approach to buying and selling homes—one that brings transparency, security, and efficiency to every transaction. This is all possible through the power of blockchain technology, which I have been actively using to revolutionize real estate.
But what exactly is blockchain, and how does it benefit you, whether you’re a home seller or a buyer in the beautiful Lakes Region or anywhere in New Hampshire? Let’s break it down!
What is Blockchain Technology?
Blockchain is a secure, decentralized digital ledger that records transactions across many computers. Think of it as a transparent and tamper-proof record book where every entry (or "block") is linked to the one before it, forming a continuous “chain.”
Unlike traditional record-keeping methods, which can ...

As CEO and Principal Broker of Global Property Systems (GPS) and now also an Associate Broker with Keeler Family Realtors (KFR) in New Hampshire, I find myself wearing many hats, including that of an Election Official here in Laconia, NH. Tomorrow evening, I'll be counting ballots—by hand, the old-fashioned way. It's election season here in the USA, and it baffles me that Blockchain technology, once touted as the indisputable leader for secure, transparent ballot counting, has been largely ignored. Blockchain was supposed to eliminate any possibility of finagling, providing a tamper-proof method for ensuring election integrity. So, what happened to that idea?
The reality is that blockchain voting technology has come a long way in recent years. It has made remarkable strides, evolving far beyond manual methods and addressing many of the initial concerns about its security and feasibility. Numerous successful trials, from West Virginia to Utah, have demonstrated that block ...
