Most brokerages hand you a key and wish you luck. We have the boots on the ground — plowing crews, renovation teams, and maintenance staff — to protect your Vermont investment 365 days a year.
“In Vermont, a snowed-in driveway isn’t just an inconvenience. It’s a canceled booking, a 1-star review, and a guest who never comes back. We built the infrastructure to make sure that never happens to our owners.”
We are not a brokerage that refers you to a contractor and hopes for the best. Our property services division operates independently, with its own crews, equipment, and dispatch — purpose-built to support our managed portfolio.
We own our plowing fleet. Our managed properties receive priority routing before any general-public contracts. Guests arrive on schedule. Driveways are clear before check-in. No excuses, no waiting on a subcontractor who doesn’t show.
Priority dispatch · 24/7 storm response · Pre-storm staging
Don’t wait six months for a contractor. Our in-house remodeling crew prioritizes managed properties for fast turnovers, emergency repairs, and scheduled upgrades. A burst pipe at 6am on a Friday? We’re there — because we’re already in your market.
Emergency response · Full gut renovations · STR-styling & staging
From spring cleanup to fall leaf removal, our landscaping crew keeps your property photo-ready year-round. In Vermont’s competitive STR market, curb appeal drives first impressions — and first impressions drive bookings.
Spring & fall cleanups · Mowing · Mulching · Seasonal prep
Vermont’s investment calendar has four distinct windows. We operate in all of them — while most owners are hundreds of miles away.
Peak revenue window. Our plowing and maintenance crews are on storm watch, ensuring every check-in goes smoothly. Hot tub serviced. Driveway clear. Heat verified.
The window most landlords waste. Our crews perform deep-cleans, landscaping refreshes, and pre-summer maintenance so you’re capturing lake-season bookings before the competition wakes up.
Mowing, groundskeeping, and exterior maintenance keep your property in top condition during the second major booking season. Hiking, fishing, and foliage draw year-round guests.
Foliage season brings high nightly rates. Leaf removal, gutters, winterization, and pre-season equipment checks ensure your property is ski-season-ready before the first snowflake falls.
Our brokerage and property services divisions work in tandem on every acquisition. Before you sign a purchase contract, our team reviews the factors that determine whether a Vermont property can actually perform as an STR — not just whether it looks good on Zillow.
Vermont’s STR regulations are the most complex in New England. A property that looks like a slam dunk on paper can have a septic system permitted for 6 occupants, a pending zoning restriction, or fire safety violations that shut you down after closing.
We’ve seen all of it. Our STR Audit process is designed to surface these risks before you’re legally committed — saving our clients from costly surprises and turning every acquisition into a calculated, verified bet.
