We’re thrilled to announce that we are officially licensed in Massachusetts! As part of our continued commitment to providing exceptional service and expertise along the New Hampshire Seacoast and Southern Maine, this expansion allows us to better serve our clients with a seamless, multi-state real estate experience.
To celebrate this exciting milestone, we spoke with two of our Massachusetts-licensed agents, Jonathan Levy and Robyne Harrison. They shared insight on how a deep understanding of multiple states enhances the home buying and selling process for our clients.
The Power of Multi-State Expertise
For those looking to buy or sell across state lines, working with agents who have expertise in multiple markets is a game-changer. Jonathan Levy, a seasoned agent in New Hampshire and Maine, explains how this benefits clients.
"Given the proximity of coastal New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts, many people work, live, and own property across state lines," Jonathan says. "Being able to assist clients in all three markets means I don’t have to look outside my network for answers. This significantly streamlines the process, allowing me to provide accurate guidance quickly."
A Tailored Approach to Moving Across States
For clients considering a move from New Hampshire to Massachusetts, Jonathan’s approach is highly personalized. "I ask a lot of questions to understand their lifestyle, past experiences in their current state, and what they’re looking for in a new home. My goal is to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible by preparing them for any differences in the buying/selling process, local tax structures, and property values."
For those moving from one state to another, understanding the nuances of each region is essential. Sales Associate Robyne Harrison’s dual-state expertise means she understands the varying regulations, requirements, and timelines specific to each state, and even the local culture.
"In New Hampshire, there’s no state income or sales tax, which is a big consideration for some clients," she explains. "On the other hand, Massachusetts offers its own set of tax benefits and a broader range of urban and suburban options. Working in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire gives me a unique advantage.”
By comparing the unique opportunities in each state, Robyne helps clients weigh their options and make decisions that align with their lifestyle and financial goals. “I offer valuable insights that help clients make informed decisions, whether they want a coastal community, a rural retreat, or proximity to Boston.”
Wider Network and Resources
One of the biggest advantages of working in multiple states is the extensive network of professionals Robyne connects her clients with. "Having a trusted network of lenders, inspectors, attorneys, and title companies in both states allows me to provide clients with the best possible resources," Robyne says. "We collaborate to ensure the transaction goes smoothly from start to finish."
Why the North Shore?
Both Jonathan and Robyne share a passion for working in the North Shore area of Massachusetts, and it’s easy to see why. This vibrant region has a rich history, diverse communities, and breathtaking natural beauty, making it one of the most sought-after areas in New England.
For Jonathan, the North Shore’s mix of historical charm and distinctive home styles makes it a unique place to work. "There’s a special energy in this area—the stories of the people who lived here before are woven into the fabric of these towns," he says.
Robyne echoes this sentiment, highlighting the North Shore’s perfect blend of history, scenic beauty, and proximity to Boston. "From historic homes in Salem to coastal retreats in Newburyport, the North Shore offers something for everyone," Robyne says. "It’s a fantastic place to live and work, whether you're looking for a quiet, coastal community or easy access to the city."
