We worked with Nick before and were very pleased with his attention to details, local knowledge and accessibility.  Nick is not only very professional as a broker but also very helpful when it comes to issues outside the "normal" business process, i.e., helping to find the right places in the local community.  I would recommend Nick based on his professional attitude and personality. ~ Judith & Peter O.

Nick answered all of my questions as we went through a wide variation of possibilities in terms of home interests.  He was incredibly patient and friendly with his advice, and was willing to acknowledge his limitations, which reinforced my trust in him.  Even though he was not our buyer's agent, he was still very attentive to our questions and needs, and I felt that he wanted to make sure we had enough information to make an informed decision on buying a home.  My wife and I could not have asked for a better home-buying experience, and knowing that Nick was involved in the process gave us peace of mind.  Thank you.  ~ Sam & Bridget

 

Nick worked really hard for us, showing after showing, and following up on all issues...Nick was a trooper from start to finish guiding us through the process.  Bringing us offers and offering well thought out and good advice.  Due to his charming personality, eagerness to assist, attention to detail & willingness to go the extra mile, I have asked him to help me find another piece of property & recommend him to anyone who asks for a good Realtor in Northern Vermont!  ~ Lynn Thorpe, Massachusetts

 

I would like to recognize with this letter the terrific work that Nick Maclure did helping us with the purchase of our home in Westmore in October 2007.  Nick was a genuine pleasure to work with and I asked him if I could do this letter as a kind of testimonial.  My wife and I had visited VT annually for many years but had never bought a home in the state before.  We visited the Westmore house several times with Nick but after that all of our communication was by long distance phone calls and emails.  Nick was exceptionally responsive and prompt.  He was great at scheduling phone calls when needed & kept us in the loop throughout the negotiations he conducted on price & then the subsequent closing preparations.  Nick's negotiations on our behalf merits special mention.  He prepared comparables for us & reviewed them in detail with us.  He gave us his best estimate of our good price that was significantly below the property's asking price.  The negotiation was slow because of the large difference at the start in our offer compared to the seller's price.  Nick was terrific at staying in touch with the sellers' Realtor & not ending discussions.  There were days when I despaired, but Nick stayed focused in his pleasant but persistent way.  In the end we bought the home for exactly the price Nick laid out at the start of the price negotiations three weeks earlier.  Nick, after the closing, helped us greatly with the names of local lawyers, bankers, repairmen & insurance agents.  As we are new to the area I cannot overstate how helpful these references were.  We would not hesitate to use Nick again should we buy property again in Northern VT. ~ Robert S. Ford, Ambassador of Algiers

 

Nick did a great job as our realtor!  He went out of his way countless times to help us in whatever way we needed.  He was more knowledgeable about the entire home buying process than any other realtor we've dealt with in the past.  We would definitely use Nick Maclure again in the future and recommend him to others. ~ The Kirkpatrick's

 

When I decided to purchase a house in Newport, VT, there were a lot of factors to consider from the location & property size to the style of home.  The one thing that surprised me was the job of finding the "right real estate agent" to help me with my purchase.  I discovered that finding a home was not easy for I had to find a place that would fit me and my lifestyle.  After speaking with a few real estate agents in the Newport area, I felt that they would sell me "any house".  But Nick Maclure took a different approach...he took the time to know exactly what I was looking for and found the perfect house that suited me.  I am extremely pleased with the entire purchasing process that Nick guided me through.  From the initial visit to the house to the closing date, Nick gave complete and accurate information about the house.  If he didn't have the answer I always received an email within a few hours with the response he obtained from the seller.  I would recommend Nick Maclure, to anyone who is looking to purchase a home in the Northeast Kingdom for purchasing a home can be a very stressful life changing experience but Nick turned it into a pleasant one. ~ Nancy Valcourt

I purchased my first home in December 2010.  Nick was there throughout the entire process; he always acted in my best interest and made me feel comfortable every step of the way.  He was a great liaison between all parties involved.  He never hesitated to contact the appraiser, lawyer, seller's agent or even the lender to help keep the process on track.  He always listened to my questions and concerns and was willing to go out of his way to help me better understand the buying process.  Nick is a great Realtor.  He cares about the people involved and not just the job. ~ Diane Dupuis, Senior Accountant at Jay Peak Resort

 

Dear Nick:

Today you closed on the sale of my home and property in Craftsbury. This was a transaction that became an amazing feat on your part given the complex real estate market. This home was on the market for a year before I listed it with you. Almost immediately there was buyer activity and eventually an offer that worked. In less than five months you moved a beautiful property that had no offers for over a year. Throughout your handling of this property you were always level-headed, creative, and completely professional in your handling of the listing.  We are very grateful to you for your diligence and excellent results. You must be the top real estate agent in Vermont.  I would strongly recommend you to any buyer or seller as a competent, hard working, and results oriented broker. ~ David C. Niklaus, Falmouth, Maine

 

Nick made our entire purchase a breeze.  He not only answered our questions about the property quickly, he went above and beyond by doing additional research giving us the full depth and breadth of each point we asked about.  His professional style and friendliness made us feel welcome and confident that all the details were properly attended to.  He completed all the purchase documents in a timely manner to meet our tight schedule and patiently walked us through the forms explaining each part of the contract.  He saw us through from our initial contact all the way through closing.  I would highly recommend Nick to anyone who is looking for a competent and professional to help them meet their property needs. ~ Bob & Kim, VA
