Laconia is the largest city in the Lakes Region and holds the widest range of housing, from downtown multi-family to lake houses on Paugus Bay and Opechee to condominiums near Weirs Beach. For someone moving from out of state, that range is the problem: three properties at one price can mean three completely different lives. Cisneros Realty Group is a family real estate firm in Gilford, minutes from Laconia, brokered by eXp Realty, representing relocating buyers throughout the city.
The Lifestyle Question Comes Before the Listings
Downtown, waterfront, and condominium living are not interchangeable, and the search starts with which one actually fits.
Relocation Is Half the Business
Corina Cisneros says relocation and second-home buyers are about half the firm's clients, so out-of-state buyers are routine here.
New Hampshire No Longer Has a Personal Income Tax at All
New Hampshire never taxed wages, and the interest and dividends tax was repealed effective January 1, 2025. For a retiree moving here on investment income, that caveat is gone. What it means for a particular household is a question for their own accountant.
There Is No General Sales Tax
One of the most common reasons people relocate here, and worth confirming rather than assuming.
Every Town Sets Its Own Property Tax
There is no single state rate. A relocating buyer comparing Laconia to a neighboring town is comparing two different sets of rules, not just two prices.
The Transfer Tax Applies to the Buyer Too
New Hampshire charges a real estate transfer tax of 75 cents per $100, applied to the buyer and the seller separately, each at the full rate. That is a line most out-of-state buyers have not budgeted for.
First-Time Buyers Get the Same Protection
Corina Cisneros says first-time buyers are a smaller share of the business at lower price points, and a favorite, because they need hand-holding and they get it.
No Pressure, on the Buyer's Timetable
Written buyer agreements and compensation are explained plainly, options laid out, and the buyer decides informed.
A Wide Range in Practice
Corina Cisneros says the firm has closed deals from $300,000 to $8.5 million.
A Track Record Buyers Can Check
Corina Cisneros ranks in the top 1% of New Hampshire agents, with more than 750 closed transactions and over $275 million in sales across 12 years. Cisneros Realty Group is 2026 RealTrends Verified, ranked #8 Top Small Team by Volume in New Hampshire.
Recognized by Other Agents, Not Just by Clients
Corina Cisneros is Chair Emeritus of the eXp Agent Advisory Council for Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire, a position awarded by peers rather than purchased.
Clients Say It Better Than Marketing Does
The firm holds a 5.0 rating across 339 client reviews, 250 on Zillow and 89 on Google. James Odlum, who bought in Laconia, 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!"
Service in English and Spanish
Corina Cisneros is bilingual, so a buyer more comfortable in Spanish can have the contracts and the process explained in Spanish.
