Buying
Buying a home is probably the most significant purchase you will make in your lifetime - and we don't take this major life event lightly.
We will guide you through every step, from searching for homes that meet your criteria and narrowing down the best options, to making an offer and negotiating with the seller, all the way to the closing table. Just think of us as your real estate Yoda!
We take care of all of the details so you won't need to stress about the little things.
The first step in the buying process is getting pre-approved so you know your price range. We have a collection of vendors that we work with and would be happy to recommend a mortgage lender.
As seen on HGTV's House Hunters
Carolyn's expertise was showcased on season 242, episode 9 of HGTV’s House Hunters that takes viewers behind the scenes as individuals, couples, and families learn what to look for and decide whether or not a home is meant for them. The episode titled "Young Buyer Wants a Project in Vermont" featured our client, Abigail, an amateur wood worker who wanted to take on a project for her first home in Burlington. Her best friend Betty was worried she'd get in over her head and hoped to steer her toward something more updated. The search spanned Chittenden County, touring homes in Burlington, Colchester, and Essex. In the end, Carolyn helped Abigail purchase her first home!
