Northern New England Real Estate Network

What Northern New England Real Estate Network does

Northern New England Real Estate Network, doing business as A Notch Above Group / A Notch Above Real Estate LLC, is a privately held residential real estate brokerage headquartered in Colebrook, New Hampshire, serving buyers and sellers across the North Country region of New Hampshire (Coos County) and Vermont (Essex County). It is structured as a traditional full-service brokerage staffed by 11–50 employees, with agents representing clients in transactions involving primary residences, vacation homes, camps, cabins, land parcels, and investment properties in communities such as Colebrook, Pittsburg, Stewartstown, Lancaster, Canaan, Columbia, Stratford, Groveton, and Island Pond.

The company's product surface is a property search portal built on the AgentFire platform, fed by PrimeMLS listing data and Paragon ICE imagery, augmented with Giraffe360 virtual 3D tours and Home Junction market/school/area overlays. Buyer-facing tools include VIP Property Search (automated alerts when listings match saved criteria), Perfect Property Finder (preference-driven property recommendations), a Mortgage Calculator, and Curated Listings. Seller-facing offerings include a free Home Valuation tool and a listing dashboard. The portfolio is rounded out by 30+ Community Guides that provide localized content for each town the firm serves, functioning as the primary SEO and content-marketing asset.

Revenue is generated through traditional real estate brokerage commissions on closed transactions, with rates negotiated individually between agents and clients rather than publicly disclosed. Distribution runs through the company website (mid-funnel self-serve search), MLS syndication (third-party agent visibility), inside sales for inbound phone/email inquiries, and field-based direct agent sales for buyer/seller relationships. Marketing spans organic social (Facebook, Instagram), YouTube video, blog/content, and email newsletters. The firm has been recognized with Platinum and Double Platinum Awards and a 2025 Real Estate Almanac Mega 1000 ranking. No parent company, institutional funding, or external investment is disclosed.
