Buying a home
Looking for the right place on the Seacoast — or anywhere in New Hampshire? I'll take the time to understand what matters most to you, help you find it, and negotiate hard on your behalf.
Seacoast New Hampshire Real Estate
I'm Chantal O'Hare — a real estate agent with Tate & Foss Sotheby's International Realty and a proud Seacoast resident for the past 20 years. Whether you're buying your first home on the coast or selling a place full of memories, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
About Chantal
Twenty years ago I came to visit a friend, fell in love with the Portsmouth area, and never looked back. After careers built on hospitality and high-stakes finance, I found my calling helping people find the place they'll call home.
I've lived on the Seacoast of New Hampshire for the past 20 years, after relocating from New York City. Following years in the hospitality arena, I brought my passion for client service into real estate. The hotel industry taught me the importance of communication, follow-through, and customer satisfaction — the very things that matter most when you're buying or selling a home.
Originally from Traverse City, Michigan, I graduated from Central Michigan University, then spent a few years in Vail, Colorado before settling in New York City — where I earned my Series 7 and 63 and began a career in the hedge fund business. The result is an effective combination of northern Michigan grit and New York City tenacity, all delivered with the calm and charm of the Seacoast.
In my down time, I visit my three grown children and cheer on the three younger ones at their various sporting events. You'll also find me walking, hiking, and biking around our beautiful coast and state. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you on your next real estate transaction.

We had the pleasure of working with Chantal for both selling our home and finding a new home in Rye. We couldn't be happier with the experience! Chantal is smart, knowledgeable, and positive, providing valuable insights into all aspects of our search. She remained highly motivated in our search over a lengthy period of time as we sought to meet a challenging set of criteria for our new home. Her efforts during all aspects of the purchase were notable — ensuring that the transaction went smoothly, and to the satisfaction of all parties. She was equally adept at selling our home, showing a high degree of skill at staging and presentation, which led to a sale quickly and painlessly. Chantal is a true professional who is genuinely pleasant to work with, and who works tirelessly for her clients. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated, thorough and motivated realtor.
