There are two real estate markets in Chittenden County. The one on the listing sites — staged photos, weekend open houses, 45-day escrows — and the direct market, where investors with ready capital buy houses as they actually are. The second market has no sign in the yard, but it closes in days, charges no commission, and doesn't care about your kitchen's decade. We're your connection to the good actors in it. (For context: Chittenden County has about 169,758 residents, and its median home is worth roughly $439,000 — numbers that matter for what comes next.)
Why the matchmaker model instead of "we buy houses" directly? Because the buyer who pays the most for a rental with tenants is rarely the one who pays the most for a probate estate or a fire-damaged colonial. Matching each property to the right specialist — and keeping only buyers who close at their offered price — is how sellers here get both speed and a fair number.

Vermont law, in plain English
Vermont foreclosures are judicial, with courts able to order strict foreclosure (no sale) on low-equity homes; mandatory mediation for homesteads slows the process further. Vermont courts set a redemption period — typically six months from judgment — during which paying the debt (or selling) stops everything.
Vermont probate stays open at least four months for claims, and estates with real property generally need a license to sell from the Probate Division — expect around a year.
Vermont's property transfer tax is 1.25% (0.5% on the first $100,000 of a primary residence), paid by the buyer. None of this is legal advice — but knowing the local rules is why a genuinely Vermont-based buyer prices and closes better than a national call center.

Chittenden County seller questions, answered
Should I try a loan modification first?
If your income genuinely supports a restructured payment, yes — call your servicer's loss-mitigation department and consult a free HUD-approved housing counselor. But pursue it with your alternative quantified: get a cash offer in parallel so you know exactly what selling pays. If modification is denied (or the math doesn't work), you'll be weeks ahead instead of starting from zero with less runway.
Can we sell if we live out of state?
Yes, and it's routine. The transaction can run entirely remotely: the buyer walks the Chittenden County property, documents are signed electronically or with a mobile notary in your state, and the title company wires proceeds. Nobody has to fly in for closing.
What kinds of properties do buyers purchase in Chittenden County?
Single-family homes, condos, townhomes, duplexes and small multifamily, inherited properties, rentals (occupied or vacant), and houses in any condition — from move-in ready to condemned. If it has a deed in Vermont, there's very likely a buyer in the network for it.
How do buyers price a house that needs major work?
They start with the home's value fully renovated (in Chittenden County, typical homes run around $439,000), then subtract itemized repair costs at contractor rates, holding costs for the renovation period, transaction costs, and their margin. Good buyers share this arithmetic openly — ask to see it. It's the fastest way to verify an offer is grounded in numbers rather than your urgency.
Is my information sold to multiple companies?
No. We match your property with the vetted buyer best positioned to close on it — we don't blast your phone number to a list of lead purchasers. You should expect contact from us and from your matched buyer, not a wave of robocalls.
Do I have to make repairs or clean the house first?
No — every buyer in our network purchases as-is. That includes serious issues (roof, foundation, fire or water damage) and full houses of belongings. You take what you want and leave the rest. The buyer walks the property once, prices the work into the offer, and there's no inspection renegotiation afterward.
