I am now entering my 8th year in the Real Estate Business. I obtained my sales license my senior year of high school at the age of 18. I practiced during the summers while attending the University of Vermont where I graduated with B.S. in Mechanical Engineering Management. Post College I traveled around the U.S. and worked as a handyman mainly in Colorado and Alaska. Over the past year and a half I have settled back into the beautiful NEK and our family business where I am now a licensed Broker. Our team would be honored to assist you in any of your real estate endeavors!

Testimonials:

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 & recommed 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 we needed & kept us in the loop throughtout 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 dispaired, 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.
