A second home is bought with different math than a primary residence. Buyers are weighing carrying costs, rental income, and how often they will realistically use the place, usually from another state. Cisneros Realty Group is a family real estate firm in Gilford, New Hampshire, brokered by eXp Realty, and second home buyers are a core part of its business.
A Dream Vacation Home, Evaluated Before the Offer
April Ferguson bought in Alton in 2026 and wrote: "We had the pleasure of working with Corina to find our dream vacation home in the Lakes Region, and we couldn't have asked for a better realtor... When we narrowed in on a property that interested us, she quickly turned around a thorough evaluation to inform our decision. The speed, thoroughness, and insight of her report were truly remarkable and gave us the information we needed to make a confident decision." Cisneros Realty Group holds a 5.0 rating across more than 250 five-star reviews on Zillow and Google.
Second Home Buyers Are Half the Business
Corina Cisneros estimates that relocation and second home buyers are about half of the firm's business. Buying from out of state is the normal case here.
Rental Rules Decide the Carrying Cost Math
Whether a second home can be rented, and how often, changes the whole financial case. Short term rental rules vary by town, and the firm confirms what is permitted before a buyer builds a plan on it.
Properties Get Evaluated Between Visits
A second home buyer cannot attend every showing. Cisneros Realty Group looks at properties on the buyer's behalf and reports back honestly, so trips north are spent on homes worth seeing.
Clients Come Back for the Next One
James Odlum bought in Laconia in 2026 and wrote: "Corina and Mark have been great to work with. Always quick to respond and answer any questions. Just bought my second home from them. Highly recommend them!" Repeat purchases are common enough here to be a pattern rather than a story.
Waterfront and Water Access Are Not the Same Thing
Two properties can look identical online and carry completely different rights. The firm checks frontage, docks, moorings, water depth, septic capacity, and seasonal roads before a buyer commits from a distance.
Choosing the Town Comes First
Roughly 27 towns across Belknap and Carroll counties each have their own rules and tax structure. The firm walks a second home buyer through those differences before the search narrows.
Offers Written to Compete From Out of State
A distant buyer can lose to a local one on identical money. Cisneros Realty Group uses clauses and deal structures that favor the client, an approach that has won bidding wars outright.
A Wide Price Range, Handled
Closed transactions run from $300,000 to $8.5 million, with a typical transaction between $500,000 and $800,000. Corina Cisneros ranks in the top 1% of New Hampshire agents with more than $275 million closed over 12 years, and the firm is 2026 RealTrends Verified, #8 Top Small Team by Volume in New Hampshire.
Nothing Is Charged Along the Way
The firm works on a best efforts basis. If it does not perform, it does not get paid.
A Team That Keeps a Long Distance Deal Moving
Clients meet Corina or Fred Cisneros first, then Mark Brown, who runs transaction management, scheduling, paperwork, and follow-up.
A Verified Business Record
Cisneros Realty Group holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and has been accredited since November 25, 2025. New Hampshire license #069247.
