At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic almost two years ago, no one could have predicted what the real estate market would look like today. As we welcome 2022, we are confident that the Seacoast and neighboring markets in Northern Massachusetts and Southern Maine will continue to prove their resilience.

We have highlighted a sample of transactions from our portfolio of sales and leases throughout this past year below. Though the market indicated significant demand in industrial and investment properties, our business remained diverse, as we found success stories in office, land, and retail.
