Selling Your Vermont Home?
Seller services
Experienced local representation. Thoughtful marketing. A team behind every step.
Selling a home involves more than choosing a listing price and putting a property on the market. It requires understanding what makes a home valuable, how buyers will respond, and how to navigate the decisions between listing and closing.
Led by Brian Boardman, the Brian Boardman Group at Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman combines decades of Vermont real estate experience, a dedicated four-Realtor® team, experienced transaction support, and the resources of one of Vermont's leading real estate brokerages.
Whether you're selling a Burlington condominium, a Lake Champlain waterfront property, a distinctive luxury home, or a traditional single-family residence, our approach begins with understanding your property and your goals.
Market knowledge
Local Market Knowledge That Informs Every Decision
A successful sale begins well before your home goes on the market.
Brian's decades of experience in Burlington and Chittenden County provide perspective on neighborhood differences, buyer expectations, property values, and market conditions. That knowledge helps guide decisions about pricing, preparation, timing, and how best to position your home.
We evaluate comparable sales, current competition, property condition, and the features that distinguish your home. Just as importantly, we talk through the options so you understand the reasoning behind our recommendations.
Our experience is supported by measurable results:
The Brian Boardman Group ranked #1 in Burlington residential sales volume from September 2023 through August 2026, with more than $57.2 million in closed sales. The team also ranked #1 in Chittenden County for $1 million-plus closed sales volume in the supplied 2025–2026 MLS report.
These results reflect experience across a substantial range of properties and market conditions. Our focus, however, remains on developing the right strategy for your individual home.
“Brian and his team are wonderful to work with. We have bought and sold many properties and this transaction was perfect. He knows the market well, so we were able to sell our house very quickly.”— Susan Grinberg, October 2025
A coordinated team
A Team That Works Together for You
When you work with the Brian Boardman Group, you benefit from the experience of Brian Boardman, Bridget Barry Caswell, Lilly Boardman, and Jared Lebowitz.
Each brings a different perspective, from established Chittenden County and lakeshore expertise to construction and renovation knowledge, land, negotiation, and complex transactions.
Behind the Realtors® is Executive Assistant Sue Wilson, who supports the team's daily operations, transaction coordination, and communication. Her role helps maintain continuity as a sale progresses and allows the Agents to concentrate on advising clients, negotiating, and managing the decisions that need their attention.
This combination of experienced representation and dedicated operational support is central to how the team works.
“Brian and his team were wonderful to work with. They are incredibly responsive and professional. His assistant is terrific with details and staying on top of everything associated with the sale.”— Jeff Wasserman, January 2024
Professional presentation
Your Home, Supported by Professional Marketing
Effective marketing begins with understanding what makes a home distinctive and how to communicate that to potential buyers.
We focus on telling your home's story—how the spaces connect, how the home lives, and the details that make it memorable. Bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage are important, but they don't tell the whole story. From architectural character and natural light to outdoor spaces and the surrounding setting, we look for the features that help buyers appreciate what makes your property special.
Professional photography and thoughtful property positioning are central to this approach. We consider how your home should be presented visually, which features deserve emphasis, and how to create a compelling first impression across every marketing channel.
We work closely with Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman's in-house marketing team, combining our knowledge of your home and its likely buyers with professional creative, digital advertising, and listing support.
Depending on the property and marketing plan, this may include:
- Professional photography, video, and visual storytelling
- Compelling property descriptions that go beyond basic specifications
- Exposure through the MLS, HickokandBoardman.com, and major real estate search websites
- Digital advertising and social media promotion
- Print marketing, direct mail, and Agent-to-Agent outreach
- Ongoing promotion and adjustments based on market response
Our goal is to present your home with care, communicate its distinctive qualities, and connect with buyers who recognize its value.

Connected locally and beyond
Local Expertise. Regional Connections. Global Reach.
When you sell with the Brian Boardman Group, you benefit from more than our four-Realtor® team.
We work alongside more than 80 Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman Agents throughout Northern and Central Vermont. Through regular listing presentations and Agent collaboration, we share information about available properties with colleagues who are actively working with buyers across the region.
This gives your home additional exposure within an established local network and creates opportunities to connect with buyers represented by other Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman Agents.
Our reach extends nationally and internationally through the Coldwell Banker network, which includes more than 93,000 affiliated Agents across 50 countries. Combined with Coldwell Banker's national marketing presence, these connections help extend exposure and referral opportunities beyond Vermont.
Together, our team's local expertise, Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman's collaborative Agent network, and Coldwell Banker's global reach provide multiple ways to connect your property with prospective buyers.
Contract to closing
Experienced Negotiation and Guidance Through Closing
An offer is about more than its price. Financing, contingencies, inspections, timing, and the buyer's ability to complete the purchase can all affect the outcome.
We help you evaluate offers, understand your options, and negotiate with your priorities in mind.
Once a contract is signed, our work continues. We coordinate with the parties involved, address issues as they arise, and keep the transaction moving toward closing, with Sue providing important organizational and administrative support.
Throughout the process, our goal is clear communication, informed decisions, and steady attention to the details.
“We highly appreciated Brian’s professionalism and commitment to a positive outcome. Despite a selling process that turned out to be more challenging (physically, emotionally, and financially) than we had initially anticipated, we would highly recommend him to anyone else for any other real estate needs.”— Timothy J. Jamieson Family Trust, December 2025
