I approached him literally out of the blue and asked him if he could help us as member of Quechee Lakes. Not knowing me at all he sympathized with the plight of our family to attend the celebration even. He sponsored us to be able to get tickets and enjoy the celebration with my whole family. We had a great time. So while I did not purchase a home through Herb, I was unbelievable grateful that he would help total strangers who travelled to VT from Hilton Head, SC. It speaks to his character and willingness to put a very VT personal touch on things where as our rental company had been outsourced to a national chain and I had to deal with support from another country. I guess if someone is willing to do this for total strangers than they probably would work hard to find you home. Thanks again Herb Geoff and family from Hilton Head, SC.

One of, if not the worst, agents selling Quechee VT real estate. If you list with him he will tell you your asking price is too high.

Dealing with him is an exercise in futility!!

I didn't mind since my tank was full with oil. 4 Months later they returned to my property, realized we did not need fuel and charged me $500. The owner of Jam Fuels called me back when I complained about the charge, swore at me, told me I should not be buying properties in Vermont and that he was going to charge me whatever he wanted for whatever he wanted. I have since contested the charge with my credit card company and he continues to not cooperate. Do not do business with this company and do not trust them with your credit card information.

On Dec 24 we'd heard nothing so we called. At that point we were adding cans of fuel so as not to run out. We were guaranteed a delivery within 7 days due to the holidays. We understood. 2 days ago they were within 1/2 mile of our home. No delivery. This morning I messaged them on FB and the owner sent a slew of snarky, rude, disrespectful messages. I sent a picture of our thermostat set to 62 and the temp being 50 in the house. We needed oil. He had the nerve to send me a picture of fuel cans as if to say "go get some". Until today we liked and respected this company. He said our road was too slick. BUT I pointed out another fuel company made it fine to our neighbor above us. He said they had their own wreckers because they have so many accidents. WHAT???? Commercial trash company truck made it fine. UPS, a propane company......but yet he couldn't? Our hill had been plowed, sanded and salted each day since Christmas. He lied. THEN he said if we wanted oil he'd get sand for 50.00, sand the road (which is already done) and only charge us 100.00.

ANTS EVERYWHERE and Broken Shower, Jacuzzi and misrepresented property. Book through a different…read morerental company, since this one doesn't pay attention to the homes care and upkeep. It is unfortunate because it is clear that the owners put money into the property and the location was fantastic. However, the upkeep is horrible. There were ants everywhere. In the kitchen, beds, cabinets, even the SHOWER. So disgusting! They would crawl over the tooth brushes and be on your towels. Not to mention ALL FOOD had to be in the fridge otherwise it was infested within minutes. I spent so much time washing clothes, boiling tooth brushes and vacuuming. It was not a vacation, I have never been so happy to be home. At $400 a night, the rental agency should be mortified. We called twice and the first time they gave us spray and a $50 gift card and then sent exterminator out the next day...which just made the ants move from the kitchen and bedrooms to the family room and bathrooms. They never called to follow up and they knew we had young children (2 and 10) Besides the ANTS, the pictures are not at all reflective of the property. There is no shuffleboard table as advertised in the pictures, furniture is different, bed spreads are not what is shown, stained chairs and old replacements are what is there. The upstairs that shows ping pong etc...is nothing more than an empty room (no light, shuffleboard, desk or rug), no bench in main room. The shower was broken as was the Jacuzzi in the master. The freezer had a broken ice maker, so you will need to provide your own ice...speaking of ice-buy your own salt too if going in the winter-as this is not provided either and the walkway was a total hazard. All in all, save your money and book at the Woodstock Inn or go camping and save yourself a lot of work and time. Definitely don't book their properties! It was really sad that we weren't able to experience the vacation we had planned due to the time spent to upkeep this home that cost $400 a night.

After two days passed without a response from the seller, I sent a written message indicating that I was willing to improve my offer and was flexible on the terms. Vanessa informed me that the seller was ill and out of communication but assured me she would get back to me as soon as the seller resurfaced. The next day, Vanessa emailed to inform me that the seller had decided to go with another offer. Despite my reiterated offer to submit a revised bid on the spot, Venessa told me it was too late. If you're a buyer in today's market, you might know how disappointing it is to lose out on a property because you were out bid. I promise you it's worse if you lose out after a communication breakdown, not knowing if your best offer would have won the property. I can't see how either a potential buyer or seller (directly working with the same realtor!) is best served by not getting everyone's best offer in front of the seller before a sale. Suffice to say, I'm eagerly awaiting the property transfer notice to see if that sheds any light on what happened. The story has an interesting coda. I was told by a contact familiar with the seller's situation that she was selling the property because of ongoing noise from the neighbors. When I asked Vanessa during the showing why the seller was leaving, she told me it was because the seller wanted to travel.
