Why Work With Us?

Libby helped us find our dream home in Westmore, VT. Her wealth of experience and knowledge about the outdoor recreation offering of the NEK were invaluable to us in our search as out of towners new to the area. She generously offered up frank and honest feedback and opinions that helped us feel confident making such a big leap. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in this beautiful area of the country!

As an industry professional, I've had an outstanding experience working with Libby Ratico. She understands what it takes to get a deal done and will work hard for you from offer to close. It has always been a pleasure, and I would happily refer Libby to anyone!

My experience with Farm & Forest was fantastic. I worked with Libby, who navigated the process of purchasing my first home with great professionalism, expertise, dedication, and efficiency. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Libby's knowledge, advice and support far exceeded my expectations. Her commitment, attention to detail, and skilled communication gave me comfort and a deeper understanding of the home buying process. I truly felt that she was with me every step of the way, responding to my (many) questions quickly, with great insight and proficiency. From start to finish Libby made purchasing my first home a seamless, celebrated experience. I am so grateful. I highly recommend her for any of your realtor needs. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

What an absolutely positive experience it was working with Libby of Century 21 Farm & Forest. As a group of friends looking for our waterfront dream camp, Libby Ratico carefully curated listings for us that were specific to our needs saving us time. She met with us in all weather conditions and her low-key style made it an easy process. Highly recommend!

Libby was recommended to us by a coworker of ours, and my biggest regret of our long house hunting process was not seeking her help sooner. Libby is canny, communicative and extremely knowledgable about the area. Most importantly, Libby brings a human element that sets her apart; she jumped in and helped us come up with a deal on a for-sale-by-owner property, and then navigated the complicated social situations that arose with grace and warmth. Even the seller commented afterwards that she was extremely helpful. 10/10 would recommend!

Big shout out to Libby who was absolutely wonderful to work with! She helped my partner and me buy a very cute property in Central VT and was responsive and helpful throughout the process. Libby was warm and knowledgeable and never made it feel like we were being pressured to do something we weren’t comfortable with. I can’t say how much her ability to be real, to treat us like humans beings, and to be supportive of us meant while working in the stressful and seemingly impersonal housing market. I couldn't recommend her more! On top of that, we had a great experience using the Century 21 moving van. So helpful to have an easy way to move a bunch of our stuff for free. Thank you for all of your help, Libby!

From my first contact with Libby until the property sold, Libby went above and beyond what we expected from an agent for the small piece of undeveloped property we were selling. There was never a question or request that she didn't respond to quickly. The property was on the market before our requested listing date and the listing attracted a buyer within a few days. Overall, working with Libby was an extremely positive experience!

I had the pleasure of working with Libby Ratico as the agent to sell a small plot of rebuildable land. I'm sure she was also selling properties with many times the selling price of my property, but she was always available to answer questions and concerns, and with the help of an attractive listing, the land sold within a few days of being on the market! 

"Libby helped me purchase a home this past December. Working with her was nothing short of terrific: Libby is patient, hard-working, calm, with incredible local knowledge and a good sense of humor. She is not pushy and provided good negotiating advice, and I appreciated her ability to put me in touch with pretty much anyone that I needed, ranging from home and septic inspectors to a good local closing attorney. On top of all that, she is a really great person. You can't go wrong with Libby! " 

Libby assisted us with the purchase of a new home in December. Her communication skills with everyone involved kept our transaction moving along smoothly. She also has a very calming personality which is helpful during negotiations or really anytime during this process. Her knowledge and responsiveness is top notch and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.
