The Salt Water Group

The Salt Water Group is a distinguished Cape Cod real estate team specializing in exceptional homes, waterfront properties, and distinctive estates. With deep local expertise and a refined approach, we deliver exceptional results and personalized service.

Led by Barbara Francke, Kerrin LaFrance, and Suzanne Newton, The Salt Water Group brings more than 50 years of combined Cape Cod real estate experience to every client relationship. Our collective knowledge, local connections, and experience allow us to offer something that is difficult to replicate: thoughtful advice, strong advocacy, and a team of seasoned professionals working together on your behalf.

For sellers, we believe your home deserves more than a listing—it deserves a carefully considered strategy. We take the time to understand your goals, evaluate the market, position your property thoughtfully, and create sophisticated marketing designed to reach the right buyers. From preparation and professional photography to pricing, exposure, negotiation, and closing, we remain closely involved throughout the process.

For buyers, we offer the local knowledge and perspective needed to make confident decisions in a competitive and often complex market. We help you identify the right opportunities, including properties that may not yet be publicly available, evaluate a home's potential and limitations, navigate Cape Cod's unique considerations, and negotiate strategically on your behalf. Our goal is not simply to find you a house, but to help you find the right place and make a sound investment.

Because we work as a team, our clients benefit from multiple perspectives, decades of experience, and an extensive network of local relationships. We collaborate throughout the process, bringing different strengths and insights to each property and transaction.

Our approach is personal, discreet, and highly responsive. We believe the best real estate representation comes from listening carefully, communicating honestly, and knowing when to advocate, when to negotiate, and when to offer a different perspective.

Whether you are selling a longtime family home, purchasing a Cape Cod retreat, investing in a waterfront property, or searching for a place to build your next chapter, The Salt Water Group is here to guide you with experience, intention, and care.

Serving buyers and sellers throughout Orleans, Brewster, Eastham, Harwich, Chatham, and the Lower Cape, we bring together local expertise, thoughtful strategy, and exceptional service to every transaction.
