Discover Vermont Communities
Vermont is home to a range of inviting communities. From the vibrant atmosphere of Burlington, with its thriving arts scene, to the cozy charm of Stowe, known for skiing and outdoor activities, we’ll help you find a neighborhood that feels like home.
Secure Pre-Approval with a Local Lender
Starting your journey with pre-approval from a Vermont lender is essential. Local lenders know the nuances of our real estate market and can offer programs tailored to your needs. This step not only shows sellers you’re serious but also gives you a solid financial foundation before making an offer.
Navigating the Legal Landscape
In Vermont, real estate transactions require the involvement of a licensed attorney, ensuring every contract is reviewed and that you have a clear title. We’ll connect you with trusted local attorneys who will expertly handle all legal details, making the process as smooth as possible.
Timing Your Sale and Vermont Purchase
If you’re selling a home out of state, timing can be tricky. We’ll work with you to synchronize both transactions, ensuring you’re never left without a home. If needed, we can assist with temporary housing options while you settle in.
• Neighborly Tip: If closing dates don’t align, we can negotiate a rent-back agreement to give you the flexibility you need.
For those selling out of state, we can recommend trusted realtors in your area. We believe in connecting you with professionals we would trust ourselves or recommend to a friend or family member. This ensures that you receive quality service, as we only refer agents whose integrity and expertise we stand behind.
Embrace the Vermont Lifestyle
Vermont is renowned for its outdoor lifestyle. From hiking the Green Mountains to enjoying local farmers’ markets, there’s a strong sense of community and connection to nature. Engaging in local activities can help you feel at home and ease the transition.
Understand Vermont’s Property Transfer Tax
When buying a home in Vermont, it’s essential to understand the property transfer tax, which is typically the buyer’s responsibility at closing. This tax can vary based on factors such as the sale price and residency status. First-time homebuyers may be eligible for a reduced rate, making it important to explore all available options. Our team is here to connect you with valuable resources and local experts to help you navigate these costs effectively and ensure a smooth purchasing process.
Prepare for Vermont’s Distinct Seasons
Vermont experiences four distinct seasons, which can affect your home choice. Consider properties with efficient heating systems for the cold winters or homes with access to summer activities like lakes and hiking trails.
Coordinate Your Move with Care
Moving can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to help. We’ll assist you in coordinating your move, whether it’s organizing packing, connecting you with local services, or finding temporary housing if your closing dates don’t align perfectly. Our team will ensure that every detail is managed with care.
Thorough Inspections are Crucial
Vermont homes often have unique considerations that might not apply in other states. Rural properties may rely on well water and septic systems, while older homes might have wood-burning stoves or oil heating systems. Ensure that your home inspection covers all these bases, so you know exactly what you’re purchasing. • Neighborly Tip: A professional inspection is essential for rural properties to ensure everything from water quality to heating systems is up to Vermont standards.
Smoothly Coordinating Closings
We’ll handle all the details to make sure the sale of your current home and the purchase of your new Vermont home align perfectly. We’ll work with your attorney to ensure that everything is ready for closing, including necessary inspections and contingencies.
Final Walk-Through and Closing
Before you finalize your purchase, we’ll conduct a final walk-through together to confirm that all agreed-upon repairs are completed. This attention to detail ensures your new home is ready for you to move in.
Your move to Vermont is not just a transaction; it’s the beginning of a new chapter in a community that cares. Let us provide the expertise and support you need to make this transition simple and stress-free. Welcome to the neighborhood—let’s embark on this journey together!
