Relocating to Vermont

A Clear Path to Feeling at Home in the Green Mountain State

You’re moving from out of state and want a local advocate?

Whether you’re relocating for work, family, a slower pace, or more access to the outdoors, Vermont offers something special. It also comes with nuances that don’t always show up in online searches or national real estate websites. That’s where local guidance matters most.

Our role is to help you understand how Vermont actually works—before you make decisions that impact your daily life, budget, and long-term happiness.

“Julie was a fantastic partner to work with. I needed to buy a property completely remotely (I couldn’t relocate or even visit until after closing on the property) and Julie managed the entire thing, assuring me that we could do it. Her knowledge of the local market, her love of the market numbers and analysis, and her attention to detail were outstanding and a great match for my own personality. I cannot recommend Julie (and her supporting staff) highly enough. “

– Matt

It’s not harder—just different, and worth understanding first

What Makes Relocating to Vermont Different?

Relocation here isn’t one-size-fits-all. Towns just a few miles apart can feel completely different, and details like road access, heating systems, zoning, and school choice matter more than many people expect.

Buying a home in every state is slightly different. In Vermont, we deal with special circumstances including:

  • Property transfer tax (paid by the buyer)
  • The Property tax credit (Vermont property tax prebate program)
  • Vermont uses real estate attorneys instead of escrow agencies.

With the little things that Vermont does differently than other States, you want a seasoned and knowledgeable agent to guide you through

Our Approach to Relocation

We believe relocation works best when you:

  • Start with clarity, not listings
  • Learn the landscape before falling in love with a home and understand the seasonal realities that affect commuting, utilities, and home maintenance
  • Have a local team who explains why things are priced and structured the way they are
  • Feel supported long after the boxes are unpacked. In Fact, many of our relocation clients stay in touch long after they move, using us as a local resource for referrals, recommendations, and “Is this normal here?” questions.

That’s how we help clients relocate with confidence—and why so many say they felt “settled” faster than expected.
