Reviews of Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman Realty (Real Estate Agency)

Emily McManamy

Meg Handler is fantastic. We chose her to help us sell our home and purchase a new one after a great experience working with her 9 years ago. Meg is incredibly knowledgeable of the market and closing process and was very consultative at a time when we needed some reassurance, direction, and confidence to move forward with this deal. Meg was always available by phone, text, or email and was very responsive to our needs and questions. She was a successful negotiator. The icing on the cake is that she's enjoyable to be around, brings a sense of humor and brevity to the process, and truly listens to her client's needs. We absolutely recommend Meg to all of our friends and family. She's a phenomenal realtor for Hickock and Boardman.

John DeWitt

Laine was a great agent. Easy to work with, very flexible, and always available for questions and never hesitated to show us any property that we showed any interest in. Highly recommended! John and Chelsea

Tana Sears

Cheryl Malkin was great. Selling the house ending up being a lot more that expected. We found out the roof had to be completely replaced. It was a whole thing. Cheryl was absolutely amazing about all of it. Cheryl alway did what was best for us. I would recommend her to anyone. I could not have asked for a better agent

Jordan Guckert

We felt so lucky to be working with Katie (Wade)! As first time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions, and Katie was there every step of the way to help us. She was by far the most helpful person we worked with during the whole process, and never made us feel bad about not understanding something. Her genuinely kind personality shines through, and I know it is a big reason why the sellers of our home (FSBO) picked us - they also felt good about working with Katie. She is just simply amazing!

Evan Lowry

Nancy is a world class professional. I felt like I had the best real estate agent working hard to help me with everything.

Jaa Bandy

I couldn't have done anything pertaining to the sale of my condo without Steve and his crew! I live out of sate and never had to leave the comfort of my computer. They were all attentive, knowledgeable and concerned with what I was concerned with. I could not have asked for anyone better!!

Ian Anderson

Very happy to have worked with Nina Lynn. She was great, and got us into a great house.

Michael Lascelles Jr

Julie was truly exceptional! She was incredibly attentive, candid, and knowledgable. At each the step of the process we felt that Julie had our best interests in mind, listening as we made little comments at one house, then bringing up things we'd mentioned at a different house a week later. Most importantly she got to know us, and got to know what we needed, when we needed it. Whether that was a funny text when a portion of the process was particularly stressful, or keeping the kids distracted in the yard while we discussed pros/cons or took a second walk through a house. She had a great sense of how make the process EASY, or at least make it as easy as it could be.

Ashley Teague

My realtor was Julie Lamoreaux and she was absolutely amazing to work with. I was selling my house while I was in the process of moving to another state and she was super helpful and on top of everything. She would make sure my home looked good, even though that is not part of her job to tidy up my house, and it was greatly appreciated. Julie went the extra mile in every aspect of job and in selling my home. The offer on my house was within the first few weeks of it being on the market and we were able to sell quickly which is exactly what was needed. I would absolutely recommend Julie to anybody who is looking to sell or buy a home. She was an absolute delight to work with!!

Michelle Devoid

This was our second time using Cheryl Malkin to find us a home. We also worked with Cheryl in 2014 to buy our first home. Three years and two children later, we needed a bigger home. We returned to Cheryl since we had such a great experience with her during the first purchase. This time was no different, Cheryl was very knowledgeable of the market and properties that met our search criteria. Cheryl was always available and very professional! She made us feel comfortable with our purchase and always felt well informed. I would highly recommend Cheryl to anyone looking to buy a home!

Caryn Connolly

She made it an easy and quick process. Thank you!

Kelsey Podkowka

Krista Lacroix is an excellent agent! We had a unique situation where my husband relocated 3 months prior to our old house closing, he was house hunting in VT while I handled closing/moving from Southern NH. Krista worked with us hand in hand from May until our closing at the end of August. We looked at many homes and she was so accommodating to our crazy schedules. She provided honest insight and kept us grounded during the entire process. While we're not first time home buyers she never made us feel like there was things we should just know as "seasoned vets," and she shared tons of information about the area, the market in/around Burlington, and bank resources. I would recommend her to anyone searching for their first or next home!

Tenley Burlingame

We LOVED working with Julie Gaboriault. As soon as we started working with her we knew we had found a great match and were in very reliable hands. She was so patient in explaining the process to us, constantly sending us new properties to consider, and always made herself available to us even though she has a very busy schedule. Furthermore, she treated us as a close friend would - and quickly got to know us on a personal level (which helped in the process tremendously). We cannot say enough about Julie!

ABIGAIL

Julie Lamoreaux was great! Very informative, helpful and positive. All great things when buying a first home. 10/10 would refer to a friend :) Thanks again!

Danielle Maxwell

Michaela Quinlan has been amazing work with! I’m so glad she was able to work with us, as she is quite heavily in demand; and for good reason! Michaela is a professional through and through. I would 100% recommend her to others, and work with her again in the future. What a great experience!

Matt

Rebecca Lemire was so knowledgeable and thorough in her approach to helping us buy our first home. She brings a kindness and delicate touch to an otherwise stressful process. She was always available to us even through several torrents of question filled afternoons via text. Rebecca is a professional in the truest sense of the word: someone who loves what they do and will do anything possible to help you. She is an absolute gem of a human. We could not recommend her enough!

Devon McGarry

Our Buyer's Agent was Tom Shampnois. Tom is the rare combination of talent, dedication, and a relaxed, friendly personality. He was wonderful to work with and we would seek his services again in a heartbeat! As first time home-buyers, his experience was indispensable. Even though he was randomly assigned to us by Zillow, we couldn't have been luckier!

Elise Seraus

Karen was absolutely superb. She was spot on with pricing and market values. Karen is the only agent I would ever use if I need in the future.

Rob Stephens

We were looking online and checking out properties without an agent for a little while. Most of them were either clueless or pushy. Kim Corey was neither. She understood that we weren't desperate for a home and really wanted to find something special. Thankfully, Kim didn't get discouraged as our search lasted about a year. Based on our budget and the market availability, we were looking at a lot of ranches. The homes were either really dated without much room for growth or already refinished to someone else's taste. We nearly settled, but finally Kim led us to a diamond in the rough. Knowing we had to invest a lot of time and money in renovating, we carefully underbid on this property and felt in control throughout the whole negotiation. Kim was perfect for us. She has a great personality, she's honest and upfront and she was willing to let a home find us instead of jam us into an available property. After 6 months, we're even more in love with our home than the day we closed. Thank you Kim!

Brittany

Our realtor was Michaela Quinlan. Michaela was absolutely phenomenal in assisting us throughout the entire process of purchasing our first (and DREAM) home! We could have asked for anyone better than Michaela. We were very decisive about the property we wanted, and she was quick to act which was extremely important. She was always thorough, and really coached us through the process as we had a lot of questions. We would definitely use Michaela and Coldwell Banker again in a heartbeat, and have already raved to family & friends about how amazing she was to work with.

Nicole Rohrig

Julie Lamoreaux was an amazing resource for us and she held our hand through the process of buying our first home. She makes it look like a breeze, though I doubt it was. She is extremely knowledgeable, organized, and has a great personality and smile. I would most definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a house in this area.

Christopher Brown

Edie Brodsky went above and beyond and exceeded any expectations we had. She was thorough, consistent, considerate, driven, detail oriented, supportive and everything in between. I have already recommended Edie to others who are both looking to sell and purchase and would go to her again in a heartbeat for any real estate needs.

Rex Accavallo

Dora was a real pleasure to work with both on the sale of my Condo and the purchase of my new Home in Essex Jct. This was my first sale and she made it very easy and smooth throughout the entire process. Same goes for the purchasing side, we looked a lot of houses before finding this one. There is a lot of planning and coordination that goes along with selling, purchasing and lining up both closings on the same day and Dora truly executed everything seamlessly on her side of things....it went very smoothly! I would highly recommend working with her! It was a great experience!

Devin Kuhn

Bobbe Maynes was amazing to work with. She was extremly personable and professional! Bobbe really made our buying process fun and exciting even when dealing with a difficult seller. We truly have made a life long friend in Bobbe!

Erica Neskorik

Michaela’s knowledge of the market and advice with our offer was a key factor into our success of acquiring our new home. She was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable - she taught us everything we needed to know about buying our first home. She went above and beyond throughout the entire process and has even reached out to make sure we still have everything we need after we closed. Michaela is well liked throughout the community - all of the vendors we worked with for inspections, mortgage, etc shared rave reviews of working with her. We completely trusted her, which made all the difference.

Britanny Marie

Leslie did a fabulous job from the moment I first contacted her. I had reached out to multiple agents when we knew we were relocating (from Chicago suburbs) and she was BY FAR the most responsive, wanted to know as much information as possible (not just about our desires for the house, but also about everyone in our family), and truly invested in finding the best home for us. We saw houses for 3 or 4 days straight and she did not once make me feel unreasonable or crazy (even though I felt like I was going crazy). When I found a house online that I wanted to see, she quickly worked to get us in to see it. She was comfortable sharing her wisdom and opinions, without trying to sway me to see things her way. Then, when we did find the house, she was confident and persistent in her pursuit of getting us a fair price for the home and making sure that all repairs and issues were addressed. She was great. And I feel like I actually have a friend in her. She is personable, thoughtful and just all around wonderful. Highly, highly recommend her.

Glenn Bruno

From initial contact to post closing, Susan Gulrajani was professional and added high value to the transaction. Her assessment of the current market was spot on and her assistance navigating and negotiating the process of closure was invaluable. A+

Rebecca LaPier

Jacob Smith made the process smooth and seamless. He is very professional, responsible, and trustworthy. I highly recommend this agent.

Greg Fleishman

Jessie Cook was an outstanding real estate agent. She was very helpful and super friendly and upbeat throughout the whole homebuying process.

Gad Dafni

Mr. Matthew Kaseta did a superb job in selling our home. After two years with a different realtor, Mr. Kaseta sold our home within two months. He and his team helped us all the way. We are in a great debt to him and we recommend him with all our heart.

Francesca H

We worked with John Black for our purchase and from the very beginning, John was polite, professional, and jumped through hoops to help us through the process. We encountered a lot of issues with the home during this time and John helped us keep calm through the ups and downs of getting thing done properly, especially since we lived out of state. My entire family and I were on vacation when we first looked at the house, and we over-whelmed him with about a dozen or so different people walking through it, checking things out! He managed this encounter with poise and grace! I'm actually quite saddened that we no longer have weekly chats about the things we need to get resolved that week! He was such a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend John Black and his brother George for any other real estate needs one would have.

Paul Meyendorff

We could not be more satisfied with the care, thoroughness, and attention to detail that Marybeth Rust exhibited. We would be happy to recommend her to anyone seeking to purchase a home in the area.

Desiree Latreille

Rebecca Lemire was able meet all our needs and was available anytime we needed her. Her close attention to detail was amazing! She was very thorough in her search of everything we were looking for and then some. Her thoughtfulness and making us feel more like family than a customer will keep me coming back and recommending her to everyone in the home buying process!!!!

Meaghan McKenna

Edie Brodsky was so wonderful to work with when buying my first home. Her dedication and availability was unlike any service I have ever received. She has helped numerous colleagues of mine find homes, and they all highly recommended her. I will continue to recommend her to friends and family going forward! Thank you, Edie!

Sarah Livingston

We worked with Laine Margolin and highly recommend her. She is a go getter and we couldn’t be more pleased. Our closing was seamless. She pays attention to detail, easy to communicate with, and worked with our schedules which was not always ideal. She professionally represented us while being personable and a pleasure to work with.

Robert Jimenez

Matthew Kaseta is an incredibly talented, courteous, and well-versed real estate professional who made both the purchase and sale of our home a smooth and rewarding experience. He takes time to develop lasting relationships with his clients, and we consider him to be a mentor and friend alike. We would work with him again without hesitation, and would recommend him to anyone interested in buying or selling property in Vermont. He is also a fantastic photographer, and we believe that his beautifully-composed images played an important role in the quick sale of our home. We cannot express enough how much we appreciated having his help throughout the process. He’s the best!

Stephen Jablonski

Michaela is the best realtor around. I've heard horror stories from friends and colleagues who have bought homes in the area over the last few years. They would say their realtor pressured them to buy a house, but Michaela never pressured us. She knew the value of finding us the right home for us regardless of how long it took. She was open, communicative, and always willing to go the extra mile to help us out. Now, when I hear realtor horror stories, I shrug and tell them they should have hired Michaela instead.

Paul Waryck

0 Integrity. I put an offer in on a house owned by Chad Castor according to information provided by Michelle Desautels Coldwell Banker Hickok and Boardman. The offer was accepted, so after the verbal agreement while waiting to sign the paper work I was informed that the seller wanted an additional $5000. Only you can take away YOUR integrity. What happened to, a Mans word is his bond?

Cheryl Lehneman

Susan Gulrajani was amazing! She was very informative; kept us in the loop at all times and was always accessible, even when she was on vacation!!! She made this process easy and was always kind and reassuring when challenges appeared. Susan represented us professionally, and made sure we had everything we needed; all the info we needed and wanted, and negotiated on our behalf when appropriate. She believes in taking care of her clients. We would highly recommend her, and will use her again should we ever sell and be looking for another home. Thanks Susan!!!!

Luke Dion

We have now worked with Matthew Kaseta on four real estate transactions (buy or sell) for our family. For our most recent purchase, Matthew was very patient with us. Our search took months, and he was always available to schedule and meet us at various locations. He understood our needs quite well, as well as the market, and was a trusted partner in for us during this search. Matthew is an excellent real estate professional, and we will continue to use him for future real estate transactions without hesitation.

Deborah Sigel

Debby Hanley was amazing at helping us find a house. We had very specific requirements in a house and location, and came to town at a slow time in the market. She was exceptionally patient as we went through and saw almost every home available in Shelburne and some of the neighboring communities. Thanks to her help, we found a great home that met most of our needs, and was able to close quickly to meet our move in schedule. Debby is personable, honest, and has great attention to detail. It was a pleasure working with her.

Maureen Weed

Leslie was exceptional in the care she gave to us in the sale of our house. I needed a lot of hand holding and she was always available to answer my questions and help me no matter how small or large the problem. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone selling or buying property.

Sydney W

I can't recommend Lindsay Hawkins enough. She was our realtor through our first home purchase and got us into our dream home. She understood our style and once something meeting our criteria was becoming available she got us in to see it immediately. Throughout the whole process she was responsive, professional, warm, and had a great sense of humor. She is a go-getter and is quick to respond and connect with her clients and the other parties. Our closing was seamless and she walked us through every step of the process. She was willing to answer all of our questions as new home buyers, and helped keep us on track. She is a gem and we feel so fortunate to have had her representing us. Thanks Lindsay!

Jenny Jacobson

Katie Wade was amazing. She would go above and beyond for us. She quickly understood what we were looking for in a property and found the perfect place, all within a week. She was always available and incredibly accommodating to our needs. Highly recommend her!

Paul Tenney

Stacey Lax of Hickok and Boardman blew us away with her presentation, marketing, explaining how she arrived at the listing price for our condo, and attention to detail and follow-through every step of the way. We couldn't be happier with the outcome. I would highly recommend her to anyone. It was the best experience with real estate that I have ever had, bar none. Thank you, Stacey!

Brendan Walsh

I referred one of my longest standing clients to Julie Gaboriault last year. I was not disappointed. My clients have raved about her dedication and hard work in helping them sell their house! The client had been transferred to another state and the house needed some work, so it was anything but a straightforward and simple sale. Several times now, they have made mention of how patient and understanding she was and how she went well above and beyond what they anticipated. This referral provided significant value for my clients, and for me. Not only will I will never hesitate to recommend Julie, I will seek opportunities to recommend her to all clients that are buying or selling. Thank you Julie!

John F.

Cecile Provost was exemplary every step of the way toward and after our property purchase. Would highly recommend.

Jay Chisholm

Monique is professional, courteous, attentive, experienced, and personable. We enjoyed working with her, again, and would in the future, if the opportunity presented itself.

Pauline Cozzy

Nancy Desany provided the best care and service. In a time that is very stressful, she was able to ease all worries and make the problems that arose go away. It was truly a pleasure to work with her. She provides Hickok & Boardman so much value and they should be proud to have her on their team.

Jenna Brisson

We just bought our come and our agent was Edie Brodsky. She is just THE BEST. Edie was soo helpful and friendly throughout the the entire process. She made us both feel as if we were her ONLY clients. I'd recommend her to everyone looking for a new property!! Thanks so much Edie!!
