Your CMA will include recent comps, current competition, days on market, list-to-sale price patterns, and strategy recommendations for pricing, preparation, and timing.

How We’ll Work Together on the Seacoast

Strategy & Criteria

We begin with a short call or visit to clarify budget, financing, neighborhoods, and must-haves. I’ll share recent sales and market trends so we can set competitive, realistic goals. For sellers, this includes a prep plan and a timeline we can follow.

Tours, Offers & Negotiation

I’ll schedule smart tour routes, surface the strengths and trade-offs of each home, and prepare comps before you walk in. Offer terms, contingencies, and timelines are crafted to balance competitiveness with protection. For sellers, I’ll advise on showing flow, feedback, and counter strategies.

From Accepted to Closed

Once we’re under contract, I coordinate inspections, appraisals, and paperwork, keep communication tight between all parties, and solve problems quickly. You’ll know what to expect at each step and what needs your attention that day. Calm, predictable progress is the goal.

Community Resources

Moving is easier when the basics are organized. I maintain an updated list of utilities, permits, schools, beaches, and everyday services for Seacoast NH and Southern Maine. Use it to set up accounts, check beach pass details, review school links, and find local contacts.

Market Insights That Matter

Pricing with purpose. I use current comps and track active competition so your position is intentional, not hopeful.
Timing around your life. Weekends, holidays, and school schedules factor into our plan. Preparation beats seasonality.
Neighborhood nuance. Parking rules, condo policies, flood zones, and permit requirements can change the math. I keep you informed so there are no late surprises.
Cross-border clarity. If you’re choosing between NH and ME, we’ll compare taxes, services, and commute patterns and decide what best supports your lifestyle.

What Clients Say

- Stephen Turcotte

I had the chance to work with Jan recently on a fairly complicated job. I feel like I've found a new friend in her. Jen is so friendly and easy to communicate with. She is very professional and knows what she's doing. Although Jen's personality is light and friendly, she takes her responsibilities very seriously. If I were looking ro buy or sell, I would not hesitate to partner with Jen. Friendly, straightforward, clear communication, knowledgeable & professional. What more could you possibility ask for in a realtor??

- Josey King

Jen was easy, fun, knowledgeable and wonderful to work with. My mother had to sell her house and it was not an easy house to sell but Jen did it. We had a few curve balls thrown at us and Jen guided us through them brilliantly while alowing us to make decisions. She is a fun upbeat person to know and very positive. She even helped some during the cleanout and gave great advice when needed. I would recommend to call her if you are looking to buy and sell. Thank you Jen.....two thumbs up!!

Been working with Jen for over a year now, and every transaction has been professional and efficient. Couldn't recommend her services more!

Ready When You Are

Whether you’re just starting to browse or you’re ready to list next month, I’m here to help. Send a quick message, call, or text. I’ll respond promptly, outline next steps, and we’ll move at a pace that makes sense for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Look for recent local experience, clear communication, and a process you understand. Ask how pricing recommendations are built, how showings and offers are handled, and what to expect from inspection to close. A good fit is someone who keeps you informed, explains trade-offs, and respects your timeline.

Well-priced homes in popular neighborhoods can move quickly. The best approach is to review recent days-on-market for your price range and property type, then align your search or listing strategy with that reality. We'll monitor new listings and price changes weekly so we're ready to act.

Typical costs include brokerage, potential concessions, standard closing fees, and any agreed-upon repairs. I'll prepare a net sheet before we list so you understand the likely range of proceeds after expenses, and we'll adjust the plan if the market shifts.

Both sides of the border offer excellent options. We'll compare taxes, utility costs, school districts, beach access rules, and commuting routes. Your priorities drive the recommendation, whether that's walkability, a shorter drive, more outdoor space, or proximity to specific services.

Preparation matters more than the month. Good photos, a strong pricing strategy, and clean presentation usually outperform a generic "best season." We'll plan around your life events and target the window when buyer demand is strongest for your property type.

It depends on financing and risk tolerance. We'll review options like sale contingencies, extended closings, or bridge solutions, and decide which approach fits your goals and budget while keeping stress manageable.

Start with pre-approval, a realistic must-have list, and clarity on inspection and appraisal basics. We'll discuss the offer terms that matter most in this market and how to stay competitive without overreaching.
