She did a great job inspecting the house (she is extremely detailed), and also walking us through explanations on every item that she found. The home inspection reports that Jolene wrote up on the inspection were very detailed and easy to understand. We can't recommend Jolene enough. She does such a thorough job and gives all the facts.

Patrick and Julie are great. This was my first experience putting an offer down on a house.

They were genuinely interested in helping me. They are both responsive, honest, kind and very good at what they do. If I need an agent in the area again, I would go back to them in a heartbeat.

Which was a picnic compared to how bad he was at selling; we ended up selling for 20% less than what we paid.

We later got advice from an engineer which let us know the truth; McSharry had no idea what he was talking6 a3bout and it cost us5we lost him twice.

Two years ago, they removed and replaced our front porch and did new siding and trim on the whole house. This year, it was time to redo the deck, and again, their work is perfection, right down to the smallest detail. We really appreciated the level of communication we had with Ben and Rick on both projects--definitely a key part of what makes them great. Quality work is always worth paying a little extra for, but the prices we got from Ben were right in line with other reputable contractors, or maybe even a little less. Overall, a great value.

We are thrilled with the superb work of Kitchen and Bath World from beginning to end. We renovated…read moretwo bathrooms in quite different styles. The first is simple and contemporary, the second involved an intricate pattern of colorful tiles forming wall-size images. Sara worked with us on the design, asking many questions to understand our aesthetic aims and practical needs, and offering a variety of options for us to choose among to achieve our goals. She also provided a variety of very effective ideas and solutions, considering the physical constraints of the (relatively small) spaces, to ensure the best use of spaces and to create a very open feel in both bathrooms, all in a cost-effective manner. The actual construction was done in an extremely professional manner by workers who were not only highly-skilled but also friendly, considerate of our needs, and responsive to our questions and concerns as the projects progressed. Particularly impressive, amazing really, was the tile work performed by Cliff. The colorful bathroom involved laying more than 1,000 tiles, and cutting more than 100 tiles to create the intricate design. It also involved the fitting of the many tiles to very close tolerance specifications. Cliff was both masterful and highly conscientious in completing this tile work. The result is stunning. In addition, along the way in both bathrooms, specific questions arose about alternative approaches to implementing features of the design. Cliff identified and raised these questions for us to think about, and he offered aesthetically pleasing solutions. In short, Cliff's work was thoughtful, technically masterful, and informed by his strong sense of aesthetic beauty. We are most impressed by Kitchen and Bath World for their general approach, their implementation, and the final product in renovating both bathrooms. Kitchen and Bath World has our highest recommendation.

They knows everything about the capital region market and are well connected which was great since we were new to the area. They were also great at communicating with us, would always provide comps, kept us informed with what was going on every step of the way, and most importantly made sure that we closed. Cant thank them enough for all of their help, and we look forward to working with her and her team again in the future.

Worst real estate experience I've ever had. I strongly recommend avoiding this brokerage based on…read morewhat I went through. In my opinion, the way my transaction was handled felt dishonest, unprofessional, and completely lacking transparency. I left the process feeling misled and taken advantage of. Communication was inconsistent, important details were not disclosed, and the overall experience caused me significant frustration and financial concern. I would never buy or sell a property with this company again. I believe their practices should be looked into by the state for possible violations. This was my personal experience, and I hope it helps others make an informed decision.

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 :)

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!
