Barre Montpelier Real Estate

I'm seeing more and more buyers who are considering floorplan and room layout in their decision making.  For example, a home for sale in Montpelier may have three bedrooms, but the master may be on the third floor, and the other two on the second floor.  That could work out just fine...except tha...

This is really a piece of Barre's history.  4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, plus a 2 bedroom accessory apartment and separate artists' studios.  It all sits on 5 acres of apple orchard. Since it used to be a full-on apple orchard, there's the "Apple Chapel" which was used for sorting, boxing, crating, and...

What I do care about is that if you've got a tired or dat...

You've got to love it when sellers think outside the box a little.  We've got a commercial property with 2 nice office spaces in it for sale in Montpelier, and the seller just let it be known that seller financing is an option. As a buyer or investor, this could potentially make the property just...

By the time buyers are at the point of making an offer, they obviously want the house.  But they're not going to pay more than they think it's worth.  Besides, even if they did want to pay more than it's worth, the bank-ordered appraisal's going to undermine that masochism.

Playing Fair When Selling? One of the great parts of working in the Montpelier real estate market is that there are some great people in the field.  Agents cooperate all the time, bringing buyers, keeping deals together, etc.  I've had a couple of people ask how that cooperation works with respec...
