Why I’m Moving from Compass to Portside Real Estate Group
Big changes often start with quiet reflection — and this one’s been a long time coming.
After several great years with Compass Real Estate, I’m excited to share that I’ve joined Portside Real Estate Group, right here in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
This move isn’t about leaving something behind — it’s about aligning more closely with where I’m headed. Portside’s independent, New England-born culture fits naturally with how I like to do business: relationship-driven, community-focused, and grounded in real conversations that lead to real results.
At Portside, I’ll continue serving the NH Seacoast and Southern Maine, helping buyers, sellers, and investors make confident, informed decisions about property — whether that’s a first home, a multifamily investment, or a long-term dream build.
If you’ve been following my work, you know my approach has always been simple: real estate is personal. It’s not about transactions — it’s about trust, timing, and the bigger picture of how a home fits into your life and financial story. Portside’s culture of collaboration, creative marketing, and local impact gives me the tools and support to bring that vision to life at an even higher level.
To my clients, friends, and followers: thank you for being part of this journey so far. I’m incredibly grateful for the trust you’ve placed in me — and I can’t wait to show you what’s next.
If you’re curious about what this means for you, or just want to stop by and say hi, you can now find me at Portside’s downtown Portsmouth office. Same number, same commitment, new chapter.
Here’s to growth, community, and the road ahead.
