Central NH &
The Lakes Region
Jim and Deb Knowlton were born and raised here. They serve communities across Merrimack and Belknap counties — from Hopkinton and Concord to the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee. This is not a market they learned from a training manual. It is home.
Hopkinton
Jim and Deb's hometown. A classic New England community with excellent schools, a strong sense of place, and easy access to Concord. Hopkinton offers the best of small-town NH living with modern convenience.
Concord
New Hampshire's capital city offers a vibrant downtown, strong employment base, and diverse housing stock from Victorian-era homes to new construction. An anchor market for first-time buyers and investors alike.
Meredith
One of the crown jewels of the Lakes Region. Meredith sits on the western shore of Lake Winnipesaukee with a charming downtown, strong vacation rental market, and year-round appeal.
Laconia
The largest city in the Lakes Region and a strong investment market. Laconia offers access to multiple lakes, a revitalizing downtown, and excellent value relative to surrounding communities.
Gilford
Home to Gunstock Mountain and direct Lake Winnipesaukee access, Gilford is a four-season destination community with strong property values and a loyal buyer base.
Bow
Consistently ranked among NH's top school districts, Bow is a highly sought-after community for families. Strong appreciation history and low inventory make it a competitive market.
Henniker
Home to New England College, Henniker offers a unique blend of academic energy, outdoor recreation (Pat's Peak ski area), and affordable housing in a quintessential New England setting.
Canterbury
A quiet, rural community between Concord and the Lakes Region. Canterbury attracts buyers seeking land, privacy, and the authentic New Hampshire character that is increasingly rare.
Tilton
Tilton sits at the gateway to the Lakes Region with easy I-93 access. Strong rental demand, affordable entry points, and proximity to both Concord and the lakes make it a compelling investment market.
Belmont
A fast-growing community between Concord and the Lakes Region, Belmont offers excellent value with proximity to Lake Winnipesaukee and Gunstock. Strong appreciation trajectory.
Dunbarton
A small, rural community offering large lots, privacy, and a short commute to Concord. Dunbarton attracts buyers who want genuine New Hampshire country living without sacrificing access.
Northfield
One of the most affordable communities in the Concord-to-Lakes Region corridor. Northfield is attracting first-time buyers and investors priced out of surrounding markets.
The Lakes Region:
Where Jim Grew Up
Lake Winnipesaukee, Squam Lake, Lake Winnisquam, Newfound Lake — the NH Lakes Region is one of New England's most distinctive real estate markets. Waterfront properties, vacation rentals, four-season lifestyle homes, and year-round communities all coexist in a 30-mile radius. Jim grew up here. He knows which shores get morning sun, which roads flood in spring, and which towns have the best school districts. That local knowledge is not something you can Google.
