Another year has come and gone and 2019 is knocking on the door! Where does the time go?!?!?
Mary Mitchell Miller Real Estate is thankful to be celebrating the end of our 45th year in business and 2018 was another fantastic year. It was perhaps our busiest year to date as we represented the sale or purchase of just less than $10 million dollars of Vermont real estate. With that success, we take tremendous pride in the fact that there are no other small, independent real estate brokerages (OTHER THAN US) in the immediate area. To our customers and clients, we offer our thanks for keeping us busy!
I recently realized that being a REALTOR is a little like being ALL THREE of the ghosts in Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" . . . we have the opportunity to help current, past and future clients realize their goals of buying and selling their Vermont properties. Lucky us!
With that in mind, 2019 is shaping up to be another great year and we are hard at work on several wonderful new listings. If you are thinking about selling your Vermont property, or you have friends/family looking to buy, please be sure to keep us in mind for all of your real estate needs.
With my very best wishes, please enjoy the holiday season and have a Merry Merry Christmas!
