Frequently Asked Questions

I specialize in selling seacoast properties in Rockingham County and York County, including luxury homes, single-family homes, condos, and vacation homes near the New Hampshire and Southern Maine seacoast. 

If you are purchasing a home with a loan, it is strongly advised that you DO NOT take on any large-ticket item loans for vehicles,  furniture, or any other credit-based purchases that may impact a lender's perception of your ability to pay back a loan.  The risk is that such purchases may trigger a loan officer to deny your home loan.

 Prices can vary significantly based on location, property size, and amenities. On average, New Hampshire oceanfront homes range from $800,000 to over $2 million, while southern Maine properties might range from $700,000 to upwards of $3 million or more for luxury estates. 

When purchasing an oceanfront home or a home near the seacoast, consider factors like flood insurance requirements, maintenance needs due to exposure to saltwater and weather, and local zoning laws. I can guide you through these considerations to ensure you’re making a well-informed purchase. 

Yes, financing options are available, but it’s essential to work with a lender experienced in seacoast properties. Especially for oceanfront properties, the process may involve considerations like flood insurance, which could affect mortgage approval. I can recommend trusted lenders who specialize in seacoast area properties.

 Absolutely! There are many beautiful communities just a short drive from the seacoast that still offer that sought-after seacoast lifestyle without the oceanfront price tag. In New Hampshire, towns like Exeter, Hampton Falls, and Newmarket provide easy commuting to the beach while offering charming downtown areas, great schools, and a friendly community feel. In southern Maine, consider areas like Eliot, South Berwick, and Cape Neddick, where you can enjoy the benefits of seacoast living, great dining, local shops, and easy access to beaches, without the premium cost of an oceanfront home. 

 It’s important to invest in storm shutters, elevated foundations, and high-quality windows. Routine maintenance and regular inspections can also help protect your property. I can connect you with local service providers who specialize in seacoast home care.

Yes, many homeowners choose to rent their properties seasonally, especially during peak summer months. This can be a great way to offset the cost of ownership. I can provide guidance on rental potential and discuss our property management options.
