Testimonials
There are many things I can say about the high quality of service I provide to my home seller and home buyer clients, but probably none would be as credible as testimonials from some of my clients themselves. Please read the following testimonials. I hope they lend perspective as to my experience and integrity, as well as make it clear how much I enjoy helping people with their real estate needs:
Curtis Fisher & Michele Olvera - Metuchen, New Jersey
"Thank you for making this all possible, Chris! When my fiance and I decided the time was right to buy our first home we searched for a broker and decided that Chris' ease, assurance and experience was exactly what we needed for navigating the real estate market. We looked at many houses and Chris was always there to point out the pros and cons of each one, letting us take our time evaluating, and even entertaining our two year old son outside so we could walk through the house in peace and get a feel for each location. Chris helped us decide, negotiate a good deal, and walk us through the closing with confidence. I recommend Chris Hurd and will use him again when it is time for us to "move up".
Cheers!"
Jeff, Melody and Jackson Trump - Middlebury Vermont
"When we contacted Chris when we were in the market for our first home we had no idea all that was involved. Selecting Chris as our Realtor was the best decision we made in the entire process. From our very first correspondence, he was not only kind but also knowledgeable and timely with answers to our many questions. He returned our phone calls promptly and never made us feel as though we were asking too much or that we had too many questions. He definitely assisted in communications with the listing agent, attorneys, home inspectors and other numerous consults keeping the entire process moving in a positive direction. We would highly recommend Chris to any home buyers, especially those in the market for their first home, like us. Thanks Chris!"
"In the Spring of '08, my wife and I decided to relocate from New York City to the Burlington area. We needed a realtor, and while house hunting on the web, came across the web site of Chris Hurd. It was a lucky break for us. My wife and I are picky customers, and Chris patiently showed us a few dozen homes before we found the one that was right for us. Many times, we flew up from NY to the Burlington airport, and there would be Chris, waiting to pick us up and show us properties. On a number of occasions, he would even go out of his way to show us some interesting landmarks or areas. His knowledge of the greater Burlington area, and the State of Vermont is extensive.
"I dare say that there could not be a better real estate broker for my money. Chris was the eyes, ears, mouth and legs for me as my buyer broker when my house was being built while I was still living in Washington, DC. He e-mailed pictures of the house as progress was being made, met regularly with the builder and even offered suggestions on how to make the final structure more pleasing to the eye and friendly to be lived in. In short, Chris was everything that a potential home buyer could want. By the way, he does all of this with professionalism and utmost respect for the customer."
Gary De Carolis - Washington, D.C.
"Chris made a very professional impression instantly when I met him. I also really appreciated his caring demeanor and fun sense of humor. He genuinely seemed to be working for my best interest in finding the perfect property. He put in a lot of time doing research and showing me various properties. I would definitely recommend Chris Hurd to help you buy or sell your property."
Jennifer Johnson - Toronto, Ontario
"My husband and I live out of state in Connecticut and our son attends the University of Vermont. During our first visit to Burlington Vermont, we fell in love with the area and decided it would be a good place to purchase an investment property. At that time, we knew basically nothing about the area and by sheer luck became connected to Chris Hurd when we Google searched for a realtor who could represent us. Chris was sensitive to our many concerns about purchasing and renting a property from out of state. He realized we needed to proceed cautiously. He quickly understood our wants and needs and found properties that we liked and would require very little maintenance. We did not have time to waste and Chris was very efficient and thorough. Chris is an extremely ethical and responsible person and my husband and I would highly recommend him as your realtor. We found Chris to be a genuine person who filled all our needs and requirements."

"As a first time home buyer I was not always sure what to expect when navigating the twists and turns that inevitably arise during the home-buying process. Chris Hurd was a patient and personable guide. He was flexible in working with my schedule and was able to understand my priorities for purchasing a home. Chris was prompt in notifying me of new properties and was willing to go out of his way to make sure that my home-buying experience went smoothly."
Jason Pepe - Burlington, Vermont
Dunbar Oehmig - Burlington, VT
"I cannot thank Chris enough for his patience, humor, and just plain hard work. Chris was willing to do anything to help us prepare our house for marketing and showing (including coming to the house and helping pick up toys). As the mother of two young children, I needed a realtor who could hold a baby and entertain a five year old while my husband and I completed purchase and sale agreements and closing paperwork. I would highly recommend Chris as not only a talented realtor and competent negotiator but as a friendly, warm, trustworthy person I was grateful to have as a guide through the process of selling our home."
