Buy a home in Southern NH with your own buyer's agent.
Buying a home in Southern NH with me runs from the search and the offer through inspections, including septic and well, the appraisal and the closing. The P&S works differently than in Massachusetts, so I explain every number on the closing disclosure before you sign, and I answer texts at 11pm, when the questions actually come.
What you get
Concrete deliverables, in writing.
A buyer representation agreement that explains itself.
Post-NAR August 2024, every buyer signs one. Mine is plain English, the compensation is spelled out, and we walk through it before you sign.
Off-market and pre-market visibility.
I have been in these towns long enough to hear about houses before they hit Zillow. Sometimes that is the whole ballgame.
Inspection and P&S walkthrough.
Septic, well, radon, lead paint if the house is pre-1978. I tell you what actually matters and what is cosmetic.
A clean close.
Title, financing, appraisal, walkthrough. I coordinate with the lender and the closing attorney so the day you get the keys is boring in a good way.
If any of these sound like you, we should talk.
First-time NH buyers.
You have never done this before. I explain P&S, earnest money, escrow, septic, and every line item without talking down to you.
Move-up buyers with a home to sell.
Two transactions, one calendar. We thread the needle so you pack once and do not carry two mortgages.
Investment buyers in the Derry and Salem rental market.
I know which streets cashflow and which do not. Honest numbers, not rose-colored projections.

How it works
Step by step, full transparency at every stage.
A 30-minute call.
Your timeline, your budget, your must-haves. Lender recommendations if you do not have one yet.
Buyer representation agreement.
Plain English, walked through together. Compensation is transparent, not buried.
Tour the towns.
Not just the houses, the neighborhoods. I drive you through the ones you have not considered yet.
Offer and negotiate.
I position the offer terms, not just the number. That is often what wins in a multi-offer situation.
Inspect, close, keys.
I am at the inspection. I am at the closing. I call the day after to make sure the trash pickup is right.
Quick questions
The ones I get asked every week.
Do I need to sign a buyer agreement before we see houses?
Yes, after the August 2024 NAR settlement, every buyer signs a representation agreement before touring. The FAQ page explains exactly what is in mine.
What is a septic and well inspection going to cost?
Septic inspection typically $400-$700, well water test $150-$300 depending on panels. I walk you through what each one checks for.
