Client Testimonials

Buying and selling your home can be confusing at best and painful at worst. To be honest, I was scared to death. Jim and Linda were so calm, reassuring, and patient – they were wonderful to work with. They listened to what we wanted and helped us achieve our goals. I couldn’t have asked for better service.
Tom Brennan, Former UVM Basketball Coach
 

Although I initially considered selling my home “by owner” I quickly realized how ill-equipped I would have been. Brian French brought me four full price offers within 24 hours and thanks to his negotiating skills, we sold the house for $6,000 over the asking price! Wow, what a tremendous result! Thanks for ensuring that my home sale went off without a hitch – you REALLY earned your fee!
Stu MacDonald, Williston
President, Closet Crafters

Lydia Wisloski was very informative and because we had excellent previous experience with her, we knew we could trust her judgement. Lydia kept close touch with us and with her advice, we were able to make informed decisions.
Gary Rochette and Linda Barrows

"Linda Murphy and Jim Ross were very pleasant to deal with. Very professional and always willing to accommodate my requests. I have already referred them to one of my co-workers.  Linda made sure I closed the house and did whatever she needed to close the deal. She generously contributed by reduing her commission fee." 
Kathy Whitehouse


Everyone at the office made our experience pleasurable and effective.
Colby and Kathy Halsey


It was a wondeful experience working with all of you fokes during this sale.  The Internet sold this home; tour online was wonderfully done. Jim Ross and Linda Murphy were excellent and I could not ahve felt anymore comfortable during negotiations. Mindy (Closing Department) was wonderful during the closing time and kept on top of everything to the end!  Jim and Linda were on top of all items from teh start.  You felt they did care about me and the sale.
Eric Spero
 

Anna did a fine job overall. She kept in constant contact with me. I would certainly recommend her.
Mary Kay Hubbard


To say that Shawn Kelley was a great Realtor and helped us in our relocation from Texas would be an understatement. As a fellow Realtor coming from out of state, I thought I could do my own searching for a new home and then employ a Realtor to help us with the paperwork. After looking and calling around to homes in the area, we found Shawn and he was able to show us homes we would have otherwise not seen.  Shawn showed us the pros and cons of each area we looked at and in the end helped us make not only a home purchase but a great investment! Shawn's dedication did not stop there. After we closed, expecting to never hear from him again, Shawn provided us invaluable help in renovating our home and still checks in to see how we are to this day. We would highly recommend Shawn to anyone looking to buy or sell a home as his service is unsurpassed!
John and Darlene Hodges


Shawn Kelley was outstanding - always communicated with us and was clearly working hard at finding any angle that might help us to sell more quickly. Shawn was always trying to come up with fresh ideas that might spark an offer.  he also held open houses at least twice each month. Also our closing was scheduled very quickly because it was a cash sale. Everyone moved quickly to get us closed within two weeks of the accepted offer!"
 
Kristina and Peter Bowser


The very best realtor we've ever had; she's exceptional! Kelly Farr helped us out so much. I can't say enough good things in all
she did for us. She was always there to answer every question we had and found out the answers for us.
Charles and Sondra Leclair


Couldn't ask for better from Shawn Kelley. Not much interaction with the company; Shawn handled everything; "one-stop shopping". Professional and open. He kept us up to date on all activity between us and the contractor and kept the whole process moving.
Michael and Cheryl Benjamin
 

Lori was very helpful with keeping up and on the bank with all the details and pushing the transaction through on time.
Misty and Glen Margetic


Kelly was always available and helpful during the whole process. Mindy did a great job for us bringing about the closing.
Tim and Kirsten Rickert


Lori was incredible! Lori was professional, sympathetic, and very helpful. She offered to help with a permit the seller's agent
neglected and she helped me stay calm and kept us informed with each step. We will recommend her to anyone relocation to the Burlington area.
Erin and Jim Nanasi


Lydia was always so accessible as well as Mindy. Lydia made everything go so smoothly! She is so good at what she does!
The little extras were such a help.
Marty Kelley


Leah and Century 21 Advantage were great. Leah always kept us informed and was extremely helpful. Leah provided us
with excellent information and advise.
Misty and Gregory Clark


Jim is the best! Calm and thorough.
Tom and Patty Racine


Lydia went above and beyond the call of duty for us. During the month the house was being shown, we had two
deaths in the family. We ended up with an offer during that time. We cannot express our gratitude for how understanding and low pressure they were with the presentation of the offer as well as during the offer we presented on our new home. Our closing ended up being pretty tough due to the buyers and their lawyer. Delays with closing dates, last minute negotiations and such were handled calmly by Lydia. She helped Jason and I to just "breathe" and try not to be stressed. I do not think that we would have closed had it not been for your great team at the office. Mindy, you were great during this time also dealing with multiple questions and phone calls. Thank you.
Sharon and Jason Derner


Everything went smoothly; the house sold the first day! Brian was clear in communicating, confident as a business person and
kind to us and the buyer's agent.
Dan and Laura Busse


Very friendly and helped with everything. Jim let us know of every action other parties took. He helped us with insurance
and other needs.
Brian and Mary Kyte


Everyone was very accessible and helpful.
Kenneth Helms and Sarah Cahan-Smith


Our agent was excellent. She was always on top of everything and she always kept in touch with us, up to date, and informed
about what was going on.
Jeff and Cathy Wrigley


Congratulations to Arthur on a job well done! Arthur went the extra mile to work with the tenants and help me from a distance.
Russell Flanigan


Brian has always looked at the "big" picture and has always tried to do or advise about what is best for us. He doesn't seem
to be just after a listing. He seems to genuinely care. Mindy Stone, from your Closing Department, was a pleasure to work with too. I felt like I had a "friend" behind the scenes taking care of all the details. She is definetely an asset to the company process.
Nancy Bean


Lydia was incredible.  Best decision we made.  She's helped practically our whole family.  We never even considered using another agency because of Lydia. She knew exactly what she was doing and we worked well together. So thank you Lydia
and everyone at Century 21 Advantage. It was worth it!
Russell and Suzanne King


We were looking to buy and home in Vermont after living overseas for many years. We would never have even considered buying a house from a distance of 3,000 miles away~ until we met Shawn Kelley. Instantly we were struck by Shawn's complete dedication to his customers and sincere desire to simply help us purchase our dream home. There was never a moment, throughout our entire process,  that Shawn wasn't completely and utterly there for us. As if by magic, Shawn listened, in detail, to what qualities we were looking for in a home, and turned it into a reality.  We purchased our house sight unseen with complete, 100% trust in Shawn... and with Shawn as our agent, we would do it again! 
Shawn is one of the most professional, honest, efficient and caring professionals I have ever had the privilege to work with. He made what could have been a very stressful and worrying experience.. actually fun! Shawn's dedication didn't just end at the closing table, he continues to be a trusted source of help and information to us as new comers to our area.
Mark Naylor and Wendy Lewis , Shelburne Vermont


Lori kept us informed in a timely manner which helped us to keep the stress level low. She kept us informed on market trends on selling a house during winter months in Northern New England. Lori was very professional and helpful.
Jim and Kristy Cardamone


I rate Lydia Wisloski way beyond excellent! Lydia did so many things to help me that they're too numerous to list.
Eileen Girard


Strong advocate looking out for potential pitfalls. We found a listing and Lydia was the agent. She was far superior to all
other agents we had met. Diligent work throughout the process, keeping us informed of opportunities within our budget and geographical range. We didn't have any problems. Lydia was as good as we could have hoped.
John Demeter
Emily Palmer


I had no idea what to do and Lydia Wisloski explained everything step by step. Lydia worked in my interest all the way. I was in another state and she handled all the things that turned up. I am so grateful for the great job she did. Lydia handled every problem I had with her expertise.
Pat Lord


She's our FAMILY Realtor. We trust Lydia; we've told our friends about her. Every time we phoned the company, we've
been helped. She knows what to do and does it. Her concern for "the details" goes above and beyond her job requirements. W e trust her as a seller and a potential buyer to think of us and our needs.
Ray and Mary Denault


Relatively new to the position and needed some assistance. All in all, I am very please with agent's assistance. I work 5-6
days a week, mostly in New York. Agent did plenty, including investigating cost of having carpets professionally cleaned.
Robert Austin


Lydia was very respectful of our needs and legitimately cared about what she was doing. We were guided
in a very professional and caring fashion.
Jack Magro
Lori Ann Beaupre


Brian did all he could do to get the best price for my property. Century 21 Advantage has a good staff and was very helpful and friendly. Brian gave very good advice to make things go easier for both the buyer and seller. I would recommend him to my friends.
Harold St. Amour


I was very happy with Brian's hard work and his strong drive to get the best possible price for my house.
Joe Carroll


Lydia did many things that were not a requirement to do.
Wilma Hanlon


Had the closing promptly and supported my needs.
Leon and Jane Brown


Reassure our faith in real estate transactions and honest people.
Michael and Norma Segale


Without them, I couldn't have done it. Made me feel like I was part of the family. I had no trouble conversing with them.
Louise Gendron


I had a buyer in four days! The company supplied me with information about every step involved in the closing and what I
needed to do to the property before hand.
Ruth Davis


Brian French was attentive and always extremely helpful.
Tania Hofsess


Our agent took such great care and personal interest in us. We would never have been able to complete our closing without
her generous help working with the other realtors and seller. We tried several agents and liked Lydia the best/most personable and very helpful. Lydia went the extra mile when we were here house-hunting. We saw 27 houses in 3 three days. She did the legwork for our price range and our country wishes. I can not say in words how much we appreciated her and her work.
Randy and Mary Lisa Baker


Everything was always straight forward.
John Ruid


Lydia Wisloski and the office support was great!
Shannon and James Vassar


Linda Murphy was very responsive to our questions and full of helpful information. Quick response and good communication.
Michael Sutherland


I expected the selling of our house to be a difficult process. However, Kelly helped every step of the way from the fist time she
saw our home and gave us suggestions to being with us at the closing. She answered all my questions and made me feel confident all would go well.
Jane and John Martin


Thank you to Kelly Farr for all that she went through with us to find our home. She stuck with us till we found the home we
both enjoyed.
Keith and Amy Benoit


Jim goes the extra mile. Even going to the house to check on something discussed with agent for builder. We have an 18-
month old daughter and four-year-old daughter. Jim was patient during our tour of homes and exceptionally helpful in distracting/playing with them during the closing; while focusing on the closing itself.
John and Anya Koutras


I had so much fun during the process of working with Linda and Jim. To laugh so much at a usually stressful time was
refreshing. Linda and Jim were both excellent in all ways - they continuously went above and beyond to help with negotiations as well as finding answers to all our questions. We really felt the entire team was on our side and working for us from the beginning.
Jeffrey and Rebecca Lloyd


I had a very limited budget and Lydia went out of her way to get me listings in my range ASAP.
Meghan Mitchell


Leah was absolutely terrific! I got to know her on a personal basis and she made our first-time home buying experience great!
Richard and Hilary Crowell


I was out of state and completely at ease and trusting with realtors' proficiency. We were out-of-state sellers and Jim and Linda
not only arranged to get our Certificate of Occupancies, they facilitated a rocky appraisal process and made sure our cats had food and water! Above-and-beyond service from day one. The Closing Department (Mindy Stone) kept me informed of any glitches and made sure I felt in the loop and knew everything was being done to smooth the process.
David and Chris Ray


Totally professional through every step. I always felt as if they were more concerned with the quality of service rather than
just making the sale. Kelly Farr was always alert, concerned and looked out for my best interest.
Dennis Koepke


Linda and Jim were an absolute pleasure to work with. I will refer them to all my friends and colleagues. They were
extremely responsive and accessible in the process. This was my first home - Jim and Linda were very helpful throughout the entire process with regard to providing me with crucial information about the home and the buying process in general.
Keith Westcott


Ray's effort was genuine, sincere, and open. His guidance no doubt enabled us to buy at a much lower price than I was ready
to pay.
Stanley and Anita Titus


Linda has been very easy to deal with on both of my transactions. I would highly recommend her. She gave good advice
throughout. I was given good information and provided with feedback.
James Turcot


Thank you, Leah and your team, on the efforts in assisting us with our shopping, choosing and closing of our new home. I was
very pleased with the level of care and professionalism Leah had demonstrated during the sale. Leah was very personable, very patient and spent all the time my wife, my father and myself needed to understand and investigate our questions and concerns..levels above expectation. Life moves quick, and when it moves our location, we will look to your team once again into the future to help us relocate.
Nathan and Edita Fiske


Kelly was tremendous from the start. Once she heard we were looking for a home, she kept in touch and sent listings every
day. I have already recommended her to someone.
John Olson


Kelly Farr continues to exceed expectation. She goes above and beyond for her clients. CENTURY 21 Advantage is great.
Bill and Meg Palmer

available and flexible.

My last home was investment property and Leah Racine was very helpful with everything.

the buyer secure insurance to keep our closing date on schedule.

Lydia made the deal into reality when a possible road block appeared. She was great.
Jeffrey and Carol Betti


Maureen Caron was great. She got things done when others wanted to give up.
Allen Coan


Brian did everything that I had expected. He took a tough sell and got the job done fast. He did more in the first week then the
previous listing agent/company did in 6 months! Thank you to Brian and Mindy for a great job of marketing, selling and closing on this property.
Randy Kimball


Kelly did a wonderful job! Was always very prompt in returning phone calls and worked hard for us during the whole buying
process.
Sally and Shawn Polley


Wonderful! Personal attention to every detail. A superb experience; especially for a first-time seller. Lydia went above and b
eyond to make suggestions and help me showcase my property to its fullest advantage. Lydia was a helpful advisor, counselor and negotiator. Mindy was always knowledgeable, pleasant and very helpful. A great company!
Cathy Hurst
Robert Snapp


The combined knowledge base that Jim and Linda have made this the 'special advantage' to have. I had a high level of interest of the builder. Jim and Linda's calmness and logical answers to my questions and requests gave me comfort that I was not alone.
Kathleen and Matthew Martin


We love Kelly to pieces! She is exceptional in everyway and exactly the type of person you can count on during the stress of
selling and buying a home.
Peter Knapp
Sue Fritz


Totally professional through every step. I always felt as if they were more concerned with the quality of service rather than just making the sale.
