Welcome to Your Best Resource for Seacoast Homes & Vacation Retreats with Shannon Aldrich, Keller Williams Coastal Realty.

Vacation home owners and property investors have very different needs from the real estate professionals they work. Second Homes take many forms from the seaside vacation home to college student housing to year round rentals.  It is my intention to make this web site a resource to you whether you live close to your investment, in your investment or 3,000 miles away. Specializing in assisting you with the homes you don't live in on a day to day basis. Summer is slipping by and it is time to start thinking about winter. My Winter Checklist can help you keep your property in tip top shape when you are not there.

Check out the Seacoast Sold Report to see how many units have sold per town, average selling price and days on market. Just one more service to keep you up to date on the ever changing real estate market. Northern New England has the highest percentage of dwellings that are not occupied year round by their owners. In New Hampshire 14.5% of all properties are not occupied year round and in Maine 21% of all properties are in this category. This is all part of the growing trend of vacation and second homes. Since 2000, New Hampshire has seen an 18% jump in these types of homes.
