The Green Peak Promise is the way I work. It's not a checklist.
Most real estate agents will show you what's on the market. I'll show you what the market actually means for you.
I've been skiing these trails, biking these roads, and watching the seasons change in Northern Vermont long enough to know that no two properties are the same — and neither are the people who belong in them. That's where I start with every buyer.
I'll give you the straight answer, even when it's not the one you want to hear about a property you've already fallen for. I'll be your fiduciary, your advocate, and your problem-solver — from the first conversation through closing and beyond.
Whether you're a growing family making a bold lifestyle move to give your kids a mountain childhood, an active professional searching for a property that fits your adventures and your financial future, or an investor looking to build wealth in one of Vermont's most resilient markets — this process was built for you.
Northern Vermont is a rare place. Let's find your place in it.
"I guide families into communities they'll love, connect active lifestyle buyers with mountain properties that work as hard as they do, and help investors make sound, confident decisions — all with the local knowledge that only comes from living it." — Grant Wieler
I'll give you the straight answer, even when it's not the easiest one to hear — because that's how we protect your outcome. If a property has a problem, I'll tell you. If the price is wrong, I'll show you. Behind the scenes, I'm detail-oriented and persistent: tracking new inventory daily, following up with listing agents, and doing the work that positions you to win when the right property surfaces.
As your buyer's agent, I'm obligated to follow your lawful instructions, keep your information confidential, and put your best interests ahead of everything else — every showing, every offer, every negotiation. The seller has representation. So should you. Mine is unconditional.
You'll receive regular updates on new listings that match your criteria, shifts in market conditions, and where we stand on any active offers. If something changes quickly — a competing offer, a price drop, a new listing — you'll hear from me right away. You'll never wonder what's happening.
My goal is to provide you with the most personalized service that is designed to help you buy your dream home
From crafting a competitive offer strategy to navigating inspection findings and negotiating final terms, I'm here to protect your leverage, reduce stress, and keep the process moving toward your goals. Your best outcome is the only outcome I'm working toward.
I stay ahead of issues before they become expensive or emotional. Financing timelines, inspection findings, title questions, contingency decisions when they come up, I bring practical solutions (often more than one), explain the tradeoffs clearly, and help you choose the path that fits your timeline, budget, and comfort level.
While other agents offer good intentions, we offer defined commitments. Every guarantee above exists because we believe your experience buying a home in Northern Vermont should be predictable, transparent, and worth talking about long after closing day. When you work with Green Peak Properties, you're not trusting a feeling — you're holding us to a standard.

It starts with a real conversation — not a form, and then a mutual commitment to work together. Before we look at a single property, I want to understand what you're trying to build: lifestyle, investment, primary home, second home, or some combination. From there, I'm actively working the market on your behalf, not just sending you auto-alerts. I'm tracking inventory daily, following up with listing agents, and flagging anything that fits before the weekend crowd sees it. When we're ready to move on something, I'll give you a clear picture of where the property is priced, what the offer strategy should look like given current conditions, and what risks, if any, I'd want you to go in with eyes open about. You'll hear from me consistently and immediately if something changes.
Vermont follows a fairly straightforward purchase contract process, but there are a few things that set it apart. Closings here are handled by real estate attorneys. Vermont is an attorney-closing state, so you'll engage legal counsel to conduct the title search, review the deed, and facilitate the transfer. Once a purchase contract is signed, the process typically runs 30 to 60 days depending on financing, inspection timelines, and any contingencies. In my experience, most of our transactions close in around 42 days from contract to close. Vermont also has no formal "cooling off" period after signing, contingencies are your primary protection, which is why how you structure an offer matters as much as what you offer.
Yes, and this catches people off guard more than almost anything else. Vermont imposes a Property Transfer Tax on real estate purchases, paid by the buyer at closing. For a primary residence, the rate is lower on the first $100,000 and 1.45% on the balance. For a second home, investment property, or any non-primary-residence purchase, the full rate applies from the first dollar, and as of August 2024, those rates increased under Act 181. If you're a non-resident purchasing in Vermont, there are also withholding requirements at the time of any future sale worth understanding upfront. None of this should discourage you, it just needs to be factored into your total acquisition cost. I walk every buyer through a realistic closing cost estimate before we submit an offer so there are no surprises at the table.
