"I had the pleasure of working with Lars Hamilton from Brick & Barn Group Compass in Portsmouth, NH, this past summer while purchasing a condo, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Lars was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated to finding the perfect home for me.
What stood out most was Lars’ attention to detail and genuine care. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and guided me through every step of the process with patience and professionalism. Whether it was scheduling viewings, answering my many questions, or navigating the complexities of a very fast closing, Lars and team went above and beyond to make everything as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Thanks to his expertise and hard work, I’m now settled into a beautiful condo that I absolutely love. I highly recommend Brick & Barn Group Compass, and especially Lars, to anyone looking for a real estate agent in the Portsmouth area. He truly made my home-buying journey an enjoyable and rewarding experience!"

"Lars Hamilton was referred to me by Justin Haley as I shifted my home search from the North Shore of Massachusetts to Portland, Maine. Having had a great relationship with Justin, Lars had big shoes to fill—and he absolutely delivered.
Lars helped me find a fantastic home in an ideal Portland location. He was incredibly responsive, making it to every open house on short notice, and his expertise shone through at every step. Lars and his team negotiated like pros, saving me tens of thousands of dollars on the final price.
From the initial search to managing the entire closing process, Lars made the home-buying experience seamless and stress-free. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Lars and the team at Brick & Barn to anyone looking for a top-notch real estate experience."

"Lars was amazing to work with as a first-time homebuyer. He made the process so much easier by handling the heavy lifting, walking me through each step, and always being quick to respond to my questions. He put together a great list of properties, was happy to tour as many as I wanted, and his negotiating skills helped me feel confident when it came time to make an offer. He also coordinated everything with my mortgage officer, inspector, and the rest of the team, which took a ton of stress off my plate. I’d highly recommend Lars to anyone looking to buy a home."

"This was our second time working with B&B and we've had 2 excellent experiences. Lars was particularly helpful tying up some last minute buyer requests and was ever-so-patient with my worries through the selling process. Everything ended up closing early and smooth! Thanks guys!"
