I know this looks like a lot of work. It is. Thoughtful answers to these questions will make the home search process easier, faster, smoother and more efficient. With your answers, I'll be able to send you every property that's a match on the MLS. In addition, I'll be able to search the "hidden inventory" of properties that most Realtors don't even know about! Please complete. You can copy/paste into an email to info@greenlight-realestate.com. You can also mail to Green Light Real Estate at 17 State Street #101, Montpelier, VT 05602. Or, just call or email, and we can work through this together. It can actually be kind of fun! |
