Jason Starr got into real estate when he bought a house and his own agent told him he would probably be very good at it. After a bit of coaxing he decided to give it a shot. It’s now sixteen years later and Jason is a successful broker and owner of Starr Realty with a team of 6 agents. They serve the Lakes Region of New Hampshire a mid-state vacationer’s paradise surrounding the area’s 4 large lakes: Lake Winnipesaukee, Winnisquam Lake, Squam Lake, and Newfound Lake. This beautiful area just south of the White Mountains is a huge market for second home buyers. Jason and his company understand the philosophy of buying a home and especially a vacation home. People buy feelings not things. “We recognize that people are buying something that gives them a good positive feeling,” Jason says. “With that in mind my agents and I seek to educate, inform and assist our clients in enhancing their quality of life.” Jason really takes doing the right thing to heart, so much so that he once talked a client OUT of buying a nearly 3 million-dollar home because the property just wasn’t right for that buyer’s lifestyle. He later did find the perfect house for his client at a price point of a million dollars less!

There’s nothing more important to Jason than integrity. In fact he has an ongoing mission to change the public’s perception of real estate agents for the better by the example he and his agents set, striving to be the most honest company in the region. “If you truly walk the talk instead of just talking about it then good things will happen.” To that end he keeps his word and is willing to put his money where his mouth is by giving all his buyers a cancellation guarantee. For sellers he has a Competitive Advantage Program where his company invests some of its own money into selling homes by paying for things like home warranties,pre-home inspections and cleaning services. Jason’s down home Yankee honesty has made fast friends of many of his past clients who often stop by his office to say hello when they’re vacationing in the area. Jason also keeps up with all his clients with monthly updated market reports for the region. Since Starr Realty does most of the marketing for their properties online they also spend a large chunk of the marketing budget to rank high in search engines.

Like many New Englanders Jason is extremely dedicated to his work. When asked what he does in his spare time he only half-jokingly replies “if I ever have any I’ll let you know!” But it’s easy to work a lot when you love what you do and Jason believes that to have a fulfilled life you must help others achieve their goals. “In real estate you’re helping people with one of the most expensive assets they’ll ever own so you absolutely have to do the right thing by them,” he says. “And hey it’s certainly not a bad day when you’re helping someone buy a vacation home on the lake!”With an eye toward expansion in the future Jason is always looking for talented agents that share his dedication to excellence and he hopes to achieve a dream of his own one day by opening another real estate office in the tropical vacationer’s paradise of the Caribbean.
