Three counties, one local
One guide for the whole Lakes & Seacoast region
Most agents cover one slice of New Hampshire. My territory runs from the Winnipesaukee shoreline across the foothills to the seacoast, so you can compare towns the way the area actually works: by drives, by lakes, by rivers, and by the feel of each village green.
The lake country
Belknap County
11 towns and cities
The heart of the Lakes Region. Laconia, Meredith, Gilford, and Center Harbor wrap around Lake Winnipesaukee and Lake Winnisquam, with Gunstock Mountain Resort rising north of the water.
Lakes & mountains
Carroll County
19 towns
Winnipesaukee’s eastern shore meets White Mountain gateway towns. Wolfeboro, Moultonborough, and Sandwich share Squam Lake’s quiet coves, while Conway and Jackson open the road to the high peaks.
Rivers to the sea
Strafford County
13 towns and cities
Seacoast country. Dover, Rochester, Somersworth, and Durham (home of UNH) sit along the Cocheco, Salmon Falls, and Oyster rivers, a short drive from Great Bay and the Atlantic shore.
What life feels like here
Summer on the lake, October on fire, winter on skates
Life in the Lakes Region and Seacoast runs on the seasons: swimming and sailing on Winnipesaukee, foliage drives that top any postcard, ski days at Gunstock, and quiet winter mornings with snow piled on the dock.
- Signature lakes: Winnipesaukee, Squam, Winnisquam, Newfound, Wentworth
- Beaches and boats by summer, ski slopes and skating ponds by winter
- Portsmouth, Dover, and Durham bring coastal food and culture a short drive away
How I can help
A real estate agent who’s also a local translator
Whether you’re scanning listings from out of state or you’ve lived here your whole life, the hard part is the same: making sense of what a place is really like to live in. That’s the part I love.
Buyers
Town-to-town comparisons, lake and river rules explained in plain English, and honest “think about this winter” advice before you write an offer.
Sellers
A warm but straight-talking read on pricing, season, and curb appeal for your camp, cottage, or year-round home.
New to the area
Relocating families get the lay of the land: which towns feed which vibe, commute logic, and where the good swim spots actually are.
Community questions
Not ready to buy or sell? Ask anyway. I’m happy to share what I know about a town, a school-desk feel, or a neighborhood.
