Why Work With Us?

"Tammy represented me as an out of state buyer and her professional expertise provided all we needed to find the perfect home for my family in East Middlebury VT. Honestly, the purchase would not have happened without Tammy's considerate negotiation skills, and her willingness to go above and beyond to get the septic repair completed in order for us to close before the holiday. I found the Collaboration Site Center that Tammy set up for us to focus on the properties that met our criteria was very helpful, saved our time, and helped us be informed of the market that we were buying in. Tammy's follow up and communication were great from our first contact, showing properties and every detail even beyond closing to be sure we had everything we needed to move into our new home. Tammy also provided a list of recommended professionals that all worked together to help complete the purchase or our new family home. I highly recommend Tammy for all your real estate interests."

"Danelle is a godsend. We were first-time buyers, and we saw many homes with her; we were always impressed with how much she listened to our opinions/desires, remembered them, and offered her own insight/expertise without seeming pushy. We ended up using Danelle to buy a house that was for-sale-by-owner, and she went WAY above and beyond to communicate with all parties involved and help make the process as streamlined and fair as possible. She was determined to help us purchase our dream home, despite many obstacles, and we never felt rushed into anything. She kept her calm, professional demeanor in the most frustrating of circumstances. Every time we told anyone involved that we were working with Danelle, they'd say something like, "Oh she's the best." And it's true! I cannot recommend her highly enough."

"Tammy was indispensable in the process of purchasing our new home. We were attempting to purchase a home in Vermont from out of state. When starting our search, Tammy was able and willing to be our "boots on the ground", viewing and pre-screening homes for us and even doing facetime showings/walkthroughs with us for the strong candidate properties. We were looking in many regions of Vermont and Tammy was more than willing to drive to many (perhaps dozens) of different properties far outside of her home area - some were hours away. There's no way we would have been able to explore and consider as many towns or see nearly as many properties as we did if Tammy wasn't willing to put all of that time in for us. Also - we've purchased a couple houses with other real estate agents in the past and our experience was that they kind of go a.w.o.l once an offer is accepted and you're in attorney review, they tend to let the attorney take over and they seem to disappear. This was not the case with Tammy. Even after we were through attorney review she kept checking in to make sure we were getting everything we needed from the attorney, lender, etc. She was extremely helpful throughout the process and we were very fortunate to have her on our team. Thanks, Tammy!"

"I can’t say enough great things about Orion.... Not a first time home buyer, I’ve been through the process a few times—and Orion stands out as exceptional. I’m moving to Vermont from out of state and the week before closing had a health crisis that rendered me incapacitated and unavailable. I dropped the ball. Orion could not have handled the situation with more grace. Supportive and reassuring, he marries heart and warmth with a serious and seasoned professionalism. As someone new to Vermont, I am not only grateful to Orion for the ease of my property purchase, but for confirming my expectation that I’m going to love my new state and feel right at home. He’s a great representative for Vermont and a fantastic realtor!"

"A+++ Danelle Birong is an incredible agent, and I am not sure we would have sold our home without her! Her presentation of our property was incredible, her handling of the interest was lightning fast, and she negotiated a price above our expectation. We can't say enough about Danelle's professionalism and her friendly nature. When we ran into an issue with the sale, she not only helped us navigate it but kept our spirits up too."

"Danelle and The Real Estate Company of Vermont made the selling experience as enjoyable as possible from her initial comp's analysis, to taking pictures, listing the house and finally negotiating the best possible deal. The actual selling of the house only took 2 days from the time it was listed and this was due to the efforts from her role in the sale process. She was always available by phone or in person if anything came up or any question needed to be answered. We definitely made the right choice in choosing Danelle over the other realtors we spoke with."

"My wife, daughter and I recently relocated to Vermont from out-of-state. The process began more than a year ago when a friend of ours recommended the Real Estate Company of Vermont, with whom Orion became our initial contact. My wife and I made separate trips to Vermont in late 2019 to view homes with Orion, who drove more than an hour from his office to meet with us and show multiple houses. Orion was honest, punctual, professional, humorous, and knowledgeable during our tours. After my initial visit with him I knew that he would be our agent. My wife felt the same once she traveled to Vermont to meet with Orion for her own tours. Once traveling became problematic due to the virus, we met with Orion virtually and kept in touch often. My wife and I honestly believed that our plans to move would be delayed indefinitely, and as such kind of put off searching while we continued our lives. However, once the home we ended up buying posted to the custom-built website Orion put together with our desired home qualities, he immediately scheduled a virtual tour for us. We were the first to visit and the first to make an offer! Orion’s local knowledge, and the fact that he had boots on the ground, helped us immensely in making the winning bid on our first home. We relied heavily on him, and he responded with aplomb. As first-time home buyers, especially ones from out-of-state without local connections or experience in Vermont, Orion was a vital and irreplaceable asset. Without him this entire endeavor may have fallen through, especially when considering the travel limitations and the fact that real estate in VT is currently quite competitive. Nonetheless, we have been here for less than a week and have fallen completely in love with the community and people. Our daughter has taken to VT and snow like a duck to water. We are so excited when considering her childhood growing up in such a beautiful and welcoming state. To be honest, we had our reservations about moving 3000 miles to a state and house sight unseen in the midst of a pandemic, but we have felt nothing less than safe and warmly welcomed. And without Orion, the Real Estate Company of Vermont, and all the other local professionals who assisted us during this process, this exciting new life filled with grand possibilities for ourselves and our daughter would not have been made a dream-like reality. Thanks, Orion and the Real Estate Company of Vermont! "

"Orion is the best realtor I've ever worked with, seriously. Nothing gets by him - this guy asks all the right questions and thinks about everything before you even have a chance to. He leaves no stone unturned (sometimes literally) and turned my house hunt into an enjoyable adventure. I found Orion after having a disappointing experience with another realtor, and the difference between them was night and day. I had a lot of specific desires in a home including the right kind of land, and Orion was right beside me out there; climbing rocks, bush-whacking trails and walking the property lines; inspecting every detail along the way. I'm so grateful for finding him, and now I get to type this review from my meticulously crafted dream home on ten gorgeous acres. If you want the best of the best, go with Orion."
 

"I highly recommend Tammy if you are buying or selling a property. She helped me navigate the process of purchasing a lakeside property and actually made the experience fun! She's very knowledgeable and a joy to work with."

"We worked with Jill to buy a home in downtown Middlebury and we could not have had a better experience. The market was competitive, but Jill’s knowledge and experience allowed us to secure a beautiful home in a transaction we felt good about from start to end. Jill is an excellent communicator and her upbeat attitude and honest perspective made home buying a truly enjoyable experience. Having worked with other realtors in different contexts, I can say with assurance that our experience with Jill was by far the best."
