Selling Your Vermont Luxury Home

Selling a Luxury Home in Vermont
Distinctive properties deserve thoughtful representation, exceptional presentation, and a marketing strategy built around what makes them valuable.
Selling a luxury home requires more than reaching a large audience. It takes an understanding of the property, its place in the market, and the features that matter to prospective buyers.
The Brian Boardman Group at Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman combines decades of Vermont real estate experience, specialized luxury market knowledge, professional marketing, and an extensive network of local, national, and international real estate connections.
From historic Burlington homes and luxury condominiums to Lake Champlain waterfront estates, our approach is personal, informed, and tailored to each property.
Local market expertise
Experience in Vermont's Distinctive Luxury Markets
Led by Brian Boardman, our team brings extensive experience representing buyers and sellers of luxury and distinctive properties throughout Burlington, Chittenden County, and Northwestern Vermont.
We understand that Vermont's luxury market is not one uniform market. Location, architectural character, land, privacy, waterfront access, condominium amenities, and property condition all influence value and buyer expectations.
Our experience includes:
Historic estates, distinctive architecture, established residential streets, and properties with Lake Champlain and Adirondack views.
Downtown Burlington residences, waterfront condominiums, and high-end properties where views, building amenities, association considerations, and location can significantly affect value.
Lakefront estates and distinctive shoreline properties in Burlington, Shelburne, Charlotte, and Colchester, where waterfront characteristics require careful evaluation and presentation.
Waterfront and rural properties in South Hero, Grand Isle, North Hero, and surrounding communities, each with different market considerations.
Our experience is backed by measurable results. The Brian Boardman Group ranked #1 in Chittenden County for $1 million-plus closed sales volume in the supplied 2025–2026 PrimeMLS report. The team also ranked #1 in Burlington residential sales volume from September 2023 through August 2026, with more than $57.2 million in closed transactions.
These results provide context for our experience, but the most important consideration is developing the right strategy for your particular property.
A thoughtful approach
Positioning Your Home Through Its Story
Luxury properties are rarely defined by square footage, bedroom counts, or a list of amenities alone.
We look at how a home lives: the relationship between its spaces, the quality of its architecture and craftsmanship, its natural light, outdoor connections, setting, and the details that make it distinctive.
A historic Hill Section residence has a different story than a modern waterfront condominium or a Lake Champlain estate. Each deserves a presentation that reflects its character and helps buyers understand its value.
We work with Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman's in-house marketing team to develop compelling property descriptions, professional photography, and carefully selected visuals that communicate the full experience of the home.
The goal is not to exaggerate a property's features. It is to present them clearly, beautifully, and in a way that resonates with the right market.
Professional marketing
Professional Video & Exclusive Luxury Marketing Campaigns
Exceptional photography establishes the visual foundation of a luxury listing. Professional video adds another dimension, showing how spaces connect, capturing architectural details, and bringing the property's setting and atmosphere into focus.
Working with Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman's experienced marketing team, we develop a coordinated promotional strategy tailored to the property's features, price point, and market opportunities.
Depending on the home, that strategy may include:
- Professional photography and video: Architectural imagery, cinematic property tours, aerial photography and video, and carefully planned visual storytelling.
- Luxury-focused digital campaigns: Targeted advertising, premium creative, and coordinated social media promotion designed to extend the property's visibility.
- Distinctive print and presentation materials: Professionally designed brochures, direct mail, and property-specific marketing pieces.
- Expanded online exposure: MLS distribution, major real estate platforms, luxury-focused websites, and appropriate Coldwell Banker marketing channels.
- Agent and buyer outreach: Property presentations, professional relationships, and targeted communication with Agents working in relevant markets.
- Ongoing strategy: Reviewing market response and refining the marketing approach as needed.
Our marketing decisions begin with the property. A historic estate, contemporary lakefront home, and downtown luxury condominium may benefit from different imagery, messaging, and promotional channels.
