I don't consider myself a lucky person but I do believe we lucked out getting paired with Sandy. Her response time was incredible which is important to me. No matter when we reached out, she got back to us quickly with answers. What really set Sandy apart was how knowledgeable she is about the Capital Region and not just the listings, but with the people. She connected us with great lawyers and knowledgeable inspectors. Every recommendation she gave was solid. If you know anything about networking, you know how important it is to have a solid one. She has this natural ability to talk to anyone about anything, which made interaction feel easy and genuine. She has a lot of house knowledge too which is so helpful for a first-time buyer. She is so much fun too. Beyond the professional side, Sandy is just a wonderful person. You know she genuinely cares about you and is working hard for what's best for you. When my mom passed away during this process, she reached out personally to check on me and see if there was anything she could do which meant more than she probably knows. If you're buying your first home (or any home) in the Capital Region, you want Sandy in your corner. We couldn't have done this without her. Special shout out to her partner Janet as well. Thank you Sandy!

Jenifer was the seller's realtor for the new home we just purchased. Purchasing a home from Florida…read morewithout stepping foot in the house prior to closing was a bit stressful; but Jenifer was the ultimate professional who helped make our purchase a smooth one. I sold Real Estate in Florida for several years so I understand what it takes to be an ethical, dedicated realtor. Jenifer was all that and more. Working with her was such a pleasure and I could always count on her to keep in close contact, respond to our needs and be very detail oriented. Although she was not our buyer's agent, I'd highly recommend her as a realtor for any buyer or seller of property. Because of her integrity and personal caring approach, I'd like to think we've made a new trusted friend in our new hometown!

She was extremely patient with the decisions we made, which we changed many times. Always available to show us homes and always quick to respond to texts or phone calls.

She was always on top of things and was very responsive to any question or issues we had. Melissa continues to reach out to us to see how we are making out and if there is anything she can do for us. She was terrific to work with; she was professional, responsive, knowledgeable, hard-working, and personable.

I attempted to work with this real estate group when looking at homes in Vermont (we live right…read moreover the NY boarder). The group had come highly recommended by friends who had worked with them in the past and based on reviews we've read online. However we did not have a great experience...really no experience at all, considering we attempted to contact this group more than 3 times over the course of 12 days without a single return email or return phone call. I don't understand how a locally owned business who has such great reviews, don't have the professional courtesy to return emails or phone calls. I won't be recommending them to others despite the positive reviews I've heard from others. It's a shame they couldn't take the time to call me back and work with me on purchasing my first home. Their loss!

We relocated to Bennington, VT from Ann Arbor, MI a few days ago - not an easy move since we both…read morework full time and have two dogs and a cat. We contacted Brenda Jones' office early on and began working with her staff, specifically Max. He was incredibly helpful from day one: answering questions about properties and neighborhoods (things have changed since we last lived here in 2007), looking for listings he thought we would like, and pulling all sorts of information. Once it was time to come and look we worked with Penny who was phenomenal and put up with massive house-hunting marathons. We could only get to town for two days the first time and one the second - that's a LOT of houses to pack into a very short time. Penny was quick to see what each of us liked (Kris and I have very different tastes) and had a knack for vision - she could take something he might like more but point out simple things we could change to suit my tastes more. She also knew so much about neighborhoods, and was quick to point things out we might have missed or not known. Despite the stress of the move (moving for a great reason but long distance moves are HARD), we felt like we were searching with a friend. Penny was funny, friendly, and seemed to genuinely enjoy showing Kris and I, and our friend, Kate, around town. She also was able to put up with my ridiculous sense of smell ("Someone has smoked in this house!" was my mantra). We placed an offer on a house I loved but the inspection was telling and we pulled - the whole office was understanding and didn't freak out when we decided it wasn't a safe investment. They also helped arrange a third day of looking (we could only get to town in the morning and had to leave that afternoon... whoah) when we found the house I'm currently writing this review from. Brenda Jones wasn't involved in the initial stage but once the offer was made she handled the nitty gritty. She came to the final walk through and came to the closing. Note for out of state people who aren't familiar with/have never been to Vermont be prepared... things here are far more laid back. I got anxious a few times because my east coast/high strung/type A personality didn't always feel comfortable with the laid back vibe but it's just Vermont. You'll get used to it :)

I asked the realtor to not list it and she refused my request . Property was put in MLS and out of 5 pics posted not one was of the land !! ( not very knowledgeable of their listings) Also can't say it's for sure, maybe a coincidence, but since the listing went in MLS some personal property was stolen from the land. Plus had to resign a form, because realtor gave me the wrong one originally I got the impression from them that it was "all about the money" and unique personal requests weren't a consideration. Be careful if you list or buy from them !!!!!
