What Clients Are Saying

★★★★★

“It felt like we were working with our best friend rather than a real estate agent.”

Bruce helped us buy our dream home sight-unseen while we were out of state. He was always a step ahead—communicating constantly, answering every question, and staying ready to act. We never felt pressured. He gave honest guidance and made it clear the decision was ours. It wasn’t about a commission—it was about getting us home.

“He treated our budget and timeline with real respect.”

Bruce and the Northern Vermont Realty team was a solid 15 out of 10! They really went the extra mile for us on a tight timeline and being out of state for nearly the entire process. We had a very wide area we were considering for buying and they kept us up-to-date on a large amount of listings and Bruce was driving to go see a house as soon as we sent them to him.
