Right-sizing timelines, coordinating trusted partners, and guiding families through planning, preparation, and sale. I handle details like accessibility updates, pre-listing repairs, and move coordination so decisions feel manageable.
Discreet preparation, polished presentation, and data-driven pricing that reflects view, access, elevation, and condition. From coastal cottages to high-end listings, I position properties to stand out with professional photography, floor plans, and targeted exposure.
Plain-English steps, lender introductions, and offer strategies that compete without overreaching. We’ll review comparative market analysis (CMA) basics, inspections, appraisal trends, and how to balance contingencies with competitiveness.
Cross-border experience in Rockingham County, Strafford County, and York County. Whether you’re buying or selling, you’ll get clear timelines, frequent updates, and a contract path designed to close cleanly. I share quarterly stats like days on market and list-to-sale percentage for your price band so decisions stay grounded in real numbers.
In 2006, I bought my home on Sagamore Avenue because it put me within walking distance of all three of my daughters’ schools and right in the heart of the Portsmouth community I love. I’ve always been the person who decorates for every season and holiday, but during COVID that instinct turned into something bigger.
Since my daughter was attending a local community college, she continued to live at home with me during that time. We suddenly found ourselves sharing long days—and decided to channel that time into joy. We enhanced the exterior décor with string lights, cheerful themes, and front-yard decor that changed with the seasons. We set out water for dogs and walkers, left chalk notes on the sidewalk, and wrote words of encouragement in different languages. Neighbors started leaving notes in my mailbox, sharing how much that little burst of color and kindness meant to them on hard days.
One day, a letter showed up addressed simply: “To the Happiest House in Portsmouth.” The writer asked me to never stop. That’s when I realized I couldn’t change the whole world, but I could make a difference right here on this corner—one light string, one chalk message, one friendly wave at a time. Since then, people have dropped off fresh-baked bread, said hello when I’m out voting or running errands, and recognized me as “Jen from the Happiest House.”
For me, being a realtor in Portsmouth, NH, isn’t just about listings and closings; it’s about building neighborhoods where people feel seen, safe, and welcomed home. If that resonates with you, we’ll work well together. Curious what it looks like in real life?
