Where Local Expertise Meets Elevated Real Estate

In the heart of New Hampshire’s Lakes Region, Legacy Group Realty has built a reputation for delivering more than just real estate results. They deliver a lifestyle. As a boutique team with a luxury-forward approach, Legacy Group specializes in waterfront homes, second properties, and year-round residences in some of the region’s most desirable towns, including Meredith, Laconia, and Wolfeboro.

With a strong emphasis on storytelling and strategic marketing, each listing is thoughtfully positioned to stand out. From properties along Lake Winnipesaukee to private wooded retreats, their approach is rooted in showcasing not just the home, but the experience of living there.

Elite Presence in the Lakes Region Market

Through consistent performance, strong sales volume, and a reputation for results, Legacy Group has established itself among the top tier of real estate teams not just locally, but nationally within their brokerage.

Managing partner Kara Chase has achieved Elite Agent status within REAL Broker, a designation reserved for high-performing agents who reach significant annual production benchmarks. This recognition reflects both sales volume and consistency, placing her among a select group of top producers within the brokerage nationwide.

As a team, Legacy Group has also earned national recognition, ranking among the Top 20 medium-sized teams in the United States within REAL Broker. They achieved this distinction in Q2 for both volume and units, and again in Q4 for overall sales volume. These rankings highlight not only the team’s production, but their ability to perform at a high level across multiple metrics in a competitive, nationwide field.

While rankings may shift throughout the year, Legacy Group’s consistent presence among top-performing teams underscores their ability to combine data-driven strategy, local expertise, and a highly personalized client experience.

Whether you’re searching for a waterfront retreat, an investment property, or your next full-time residence, Legacy Group offers the experience, strategy, and local insight to guide you every step of the way.
