Retiring? Not me! I love my job and my team too much to retire! The challenges (new every day) and successes, the laughs and the mutual support keep me engaged and committed to providing the best buying or selling experience to our clients. It is fun and productive to share my nearly 40 years of experience with our team. Also, I so much enjoy having the opportunity to show newcomers the richness of our area. It’s a wonderful place that we live in, and it is so much fun to be continually reminded of that by seeing it freshly through the eyes of others. For me, the most important things in life are family, friends, traditions, community, and having a job that you love.
TESTIMONIAL: “Marilyn is professional, responsive, organized, calm and kind - all attributes I needed and valued. She definitely goes ‘above and beyond’. Her knowledge of the area is unsurpassed. There is no question that I would recommend Marilyn to friends who are interested in purchasing real estate in and around New London.” ~ Buyer, New London
BACKGROUND: I grew up in Claremont with my parents, four sisters and many aunts, uncles and cousins. I still enjoy many friendships made during my childhood. I also met my husband, Harry while in high school, started dating at 15 and 17, and have been together since. We were married in 1978, built our first home soon after, which eventually led to the start of our family business, Snow Building Construction.
We have 3 sons now married with children, working in the family business and all living in New London. How lucky I am to have my family so close by!
REAL ESTATE: I decided to get my Real Estate license in 1998, thinking that was a natural
progression from my exposure to the building process. I have been working with The Milestone Team ever since and enjoy working with both Buyers and Sellers, helping them to realize their goals in homeownership.
TESTIMONIAL: “Jane Snow is a realtor who gives her all to customers seeking their perfect property. Knowledgeable, caring, and professional, you can't go wrong with Jane.” ~ Buyer, New London
FAST FACTS: I grew up in Brookline, MA, attended Hobart & William Smith Colleges and graduated from Boston University. After teaching at Colby-Sawyer College (then Colby Junior) I started a 25-year career in the ski industry. I was Ski Patrol Director at King Ridge for 10 years, also handling their marketing and public relations. For the next 15 years I held various management positions at ski resorts in Vermont and New Hampshire. I’ve been at Milestone Real Estate working with clients and customers in rentals and sales for the past 27 years.
INTERESTS: I continue to ski as much as possible and have visited more than 70 areas nationwide. Cross country skiing and snowshoeing with my dog are also fun winter pastimes. In summer I enjoy water sports, golf and hiking. Spending time on Martha’s Vineyard, where my family has a home, is a big part of my life.
FUN FACTS: I started a softball team in New London in the 1970s and there are still a few women around here who played on that team. Writing for a couple of regional and national ski publications is a fun sideline. As I sit at my desk in my home office, I look out at a spectacular view of Mt. Kearsarge!
I am happy to help with all your real estate needs - whether selling, buying, or renting.

Before moving to New London 10 years ago, Sonja grew up in Princeton, New Jersey where she was educated at The Lawrenceville School. In the summers, Sonja would travel abroad for immersion programs hosted by Sons of Norway and Insitut Le Rosey in Rolle Switzerland. Growing up, Sonja's parents had been very politically active on both sides, but she discovered her own love of politics after attending an inspirational speech by the late John McCain in Philadelphia. She moved to DC to study at George Washington University. After working on a Presidential Campaign, she was honored to have been given the incredible opportunity to work in White House Communications. Sonja managed a series of websites about Nightlife and Charitable Events in Washington DC. After 15 years, however, Sonja and her family made the decision to find the polar opposite of DC. She found it here in the land of mountains and lakes, and where everything closes by 9pm.
FUN FACTS: While preparing to model for a News segment before the Oscars, Sonja shared a bottle of wine with the Armani Face Designer. They told her she wouldn't have to speak. They lied. She was also asked to stay away from the First Daughters for fear that she'd be a bad influence. They were wrong. She would have been much more discreet when sneaking them into the VIP areas of nightclubs.
You may know Sonja as an avid dog lover. You might also have seen her outside with her dogs and family all November long setting up an elaborate Christmas display around her lovingly restored historic home and barn to bring joy to everyone who drives by during the cold winter months. Sonja is a people person who also works at The Refinery to further connect with neighbors and meet new friends.
In Real Estate, Sonja brings cultural experience and insight to buyers eager to trade in the fast paced life for a more fulfilling quality of life here in NH. Whether you're interested in buying or selling, her years working as a staffer in DC has made Sonja uniquely qualified to work with challenging people.
When it comes to finding the perfect home or selling your current one, having a passionate and knowledgeable real estate professional by your side makes all the difference. I’m Deb Rees, a proud New Hampshire local who combines a love for our state with a dedication to helping my clients achieve their real estate dreams.
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME: I am a lifelong musician and have been an elementary music teacher for over 26 years. Teaching music continues to be one of the most rewarding parts of my life. There’s nothing quite like seeing the excitement on a child’s face when they discover their own creative voice. I also am an avid golfer who enjoys playing anywhere and everywhere I get the chance. Whether I’m teeing off at a local golf course, kayaking on Elbow Pond, or relaxing after a day of work with a walk with my dog Willow, I’m constantly reminded why New Hampshire is such a special place to call home.
Beyond my professional life, I’m also the proud mother of daughter Emma, son Sean, and grandmother to my one-year-old granddaughter, Peyton. There is no better time than when we are all together on our dock or around the fire.

Over the years we’ve lived and worked in southern NH, western Maine, and at 10,000 ft. in southern Utah (with an avg. snowfall of 400” a year). I’ve also owned and operated a bed & breakfast in Maine and managed the lodging reservations department at Sunday River Ski Resort. We have resided in New London since 2000.

I have a direct, no-nonsense approach and my goal is to make sure buyers and sellers have the information they need to make good decisions so they can be successful in achieving their goals. I always have my clients’ best interests at heart. I’ve won many awards including realtor of the year and was an active member of the Sunapee Region Board of Realtors for years (including serving as president one year).

TESTIMONIAL: “Emily Campbell is a gifted people person. Selling my home was an incredibly emotional experience for me. Without any judgment, ever, Emily helped me navigate and balance the components of my emotional needs with what she knew made good business sense. I will be forever grateful to her for guiding me gently through the process, for her open and timely communication, for her understanding and respect of my feelings, and for making sure that we found buyers who would love the house as much my family did. Emily is a genuine treasure.” Seller, New London
