Selling a luxury home on the Seacoast or in the Lakes Region

National brokerage reach for $1M+ homes on the Seacoast and in the Lakes Region, plus international luxury marketing.

Selling a luxury home means finding a buyer who isn't here yet

Selling a luxury home on the Seacoast or in the Lakes Region isn't like selling the house down the street. The buyer for a $1,000,000+ home in Rye, New Castle or Wolfeboro is often not local. They're looking for a second home, a place to retire, or a place the family can gather every summer, and they may be searching from another state or another country.

The right buyer exists. The job is getting your home in front of them.

If your home is on the water, it also carries questions other homes don't: the flood zone and insurance, frontage and dock rights, septic near the shoreline, shoreland rules and seasonal access. A buyer's agent will ask about every one. The sale goes smoother when we've answered them first.

How I sell a luxury home

I'm Principal Broker of Beach-Homes Realty and Lake Homes Realty, national brokerages built for exactly this kind of property. An oceanfront home goes out through Beach-Homes Realty and a lakefront through Lake Homes Realty, each to its own targeted buyer lists and Google Ads, including buyers well outside New England. Then I add my own ads on Google, Facebook and Instagram.

For homes above $1,000,000, my Luxury Marketing Package adds a dedicated property website, a Google Earth aerial flyover and a YouTube video tour. It places your home in The Wall Street Journal, Robb Report, Unique Homes, Mansion Global, MarketWatch and Barron's, and on 90+ international real estate sites, including JamesEdition, LuxuryEstate, the International MLS and Juwai.

A $1,770,000 home I sold in Enfield drew 618 clicks from my own ads alone.

What you get

  • A walkthrough of three hours or more, including the details luxury buyers will ask about
  • Your documents gathered up front: permits, septic, surveys and anything tied to the shoreline
  • Staging with coastal furniture and decor that fits the home
  • Professional photos, video, drone and a 3D tour, because on the Seacoast and the lakes the setting is half the sale
  • The Luxury Marketing Package on homes above $1,000,000
  • Negotiation from a broker trained in it: RENE, CREN and SRS

One more thing. Plenty of owners tell me, "We should wait until summer." Seacoast and lake homes sell after peak season too, and waiting can cost a year. See how the marketing works for the full picture.
