What should you expect when you sell your home with Vermont Real Estate Company?
Plenty of brokerages can put your home on the market. Fewer can tell you exactly who is likely to buy it, what they're looking for, and how to position your property to meet them there.
Our agents know Vermont's buyer pool intimately. They know where relocating buyers are coming from, what second home buyers prioritize, and what move-up buyers in Vermont's key markets are willing to pay for the right property. That knowledge shapes everything from how we price your home to how we present and market it.
We're a boutique brokerage, which means your sale doesn't get lost in a pipeline. You work with one agent who is accountable to you from the first conversation to closing day and beyond.
HOW WE WORK
PRICING WITH PRECISION
Getting the price right from the start is the single most important factor in a successful sale. Our agents conduct a thorough comparative market analysis so your home is positioned to attract serious buyers from day one.
TARGETING MARKETING AND REACH
Your property deserves to be seen by the buyers most likely to value it. We leverage our statewide network, digital presence, and relationships with out-of-state buyers to give your home the exposure it deserves.
NEGOTIATION THAT PROTECTS YOUR INTERESTS
When offers come in, having an experienced agent at the table makes a meaningful difference. We advocate for your goals at every stage of the negotiation, from first offer to final terms.
We don't expect you to hire us without an interview.
A listing presentation is a crucial, formal meeting where a real estate agent pitches their services to a homeowner to win the right to sell their property.

For the past few years, the United States— including Vermont— has been in a seller’s market. Sellers have been fortunate to sell in such advantageous market conditions. Homes are spending fewer days on the market and an average 35% of homes were sold above listing price. But, the market is changin
Your home’s exterior is a visitor’s first impression of the property. It sets expectations and can impact your property’s value. In fact, strong curb appeal can add seven percent to a home’s price. Improving your curb appeal is a worthwhile investment, whether you’re preparing to sell or simply wa
