Why Work With Us?

I was so fortunate to hire Lisa as my real estate agent. She did an excellent job describing and showing my home. When challenges arose, such as leaky pipes and overbid estimates, her extensive network of capable, reasonable contractors saved the day!

Always competent and cheerful, Lisa consistently answered my phone calls and texts. I highly recommend her to anyone in southern Vermont looking for an honest, hard-working realtor willing to go the extra mile! Bravo, and thanks, Lisa!

- Susan Engle

It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with Chris. It quickly became clear that we made the right choice in deciding to work with him, as he did a bunch of research for us and showed us so many homes around Jamaica. He had the utmost patience and friendly demeanor, which we needed and appreciated so very much. At one point in our journey together, he commented to us that it’s refreshing to work with good people, people who do the right thing, and we genuinely felt the same way about him! We would absolutely recommend Chris to anyone looking for a home in the area. Also, the gift bag was amazing!
- Damion

Jeff is such a professional, but personable as well! He has real integrity and did both his client (seller) and me (buyer without an agent) a real service by ensuring all important disclosure information was available from the beginning. Communication was prompt and thorough, he was on top of contract deadlines, and he facilitated smooth negotiations between seller/buyer such that all were happy with the outcome. Thanks so much, Jeff!
- Elizabeth F. In Brattleboro

Our experience with Jeff was excellent from start to finish. He has a lot of expertise, and his assessment of properties was really helpful in our decision making. He made himself available whenever we needed him and even drove a good distance to pick up a check from us. Would highly recommend working with Jeff if you are buying or selling a home.
- Robert Eppsteiner

We first connected with Jeff Sheehan almost two years before closing on an amazing mountaintop property. At the time we were largely unfamiliar with Vermont and had a very unique set of requirements for a second home. Luckily, we found Jeff. Over the course of this process, Jeff not only took the time to understand what we were looking for, but provided insights into the local market, helped us get familiar with Vermont, and ultimately worked diligently to land a one-of-a-kind 20+ acre property on a mountaintop with 360-degree views in an amazing location. As an out-of-state buyer, Jeff made the process seamless. He’s professional, very responsive, patient, and a pleasure to work with. We’ve worked with many agents over the years on both residential and investment properties and Jeff is one of the best!
- Alex & Heidi

We are so grateful to Chris Cummings – he was a pleasure to work with and helped us find an amazing home! Chris took the time to really understand our wish list and was willing to go the extra mile (literally). He arranged multiple viewings for us during New Year’s week, and then previewed houses for us that came on the market once we returned home to Colorado. As out-of-state buyers, this was hugely important since we couldn’t travel out to see every new property, or to manage all the aspects of inspection and closing from across the country. Chris always had our best interests at heart and his advice was spot-on throughout the process. If you are looking to purchase a home in southern Vermont, I encourage you to reach out to Chris Cummings and the team at Cummings & Co.
- Susan Kramer

We recently met Jeff as the listing agent of a house we were looking at. He was knowledgeable, helpful, and very accommodating. The whole process went off without a hitch and couldn’t have been easier. He really went out of his way to coordinate the sale and make sure everything was completed in time. We closed on the house today – and Jeff made sure the house was spotless for us! We would recommend Jeff to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. Not only is he a great real estate agent but he is a very nice guy too!
- BernieVT

Dan was thorough, helpful and went above and beyond to do the behind-the-scenes work when it came to helping us find our second home. We live out of state, and he would preview homes for us, FaceTime us and explored several deals until finding the right one for us. I would recommend him to anyone that wants a thoughtful and hands-on realtor.
- Lindsey

Dan was great. He was quick to find the perfect property and always had a prompt response to questions. He made the process of buying seamless with virtual walk throughs and even helped with moving boxes in! I could not recommend him more.
- Emmet

Jeffrey was the listing agent of a second home we recently acquired in Vermont. Please understand that I was not an easy buyer having been a Commercial Real Estate Broker myself for the past 40 years. Jeff guided our transactions flawlessly and without his unique skill set we might never have closed. He represented this asset with the highest level of integrity and honesty imaginable. There is frankly no higher praise I could award him. I did not know him prior to this transaction but he will be my first call going forward for any needs in this market.
- Dana Brome

We were very fortunate to have Jeff Sheehan helping us from the beginning to the end of our home purchase. His deep knowledge and professionalism have helped us to navigate in this extremely competitive market. The most important quality Jeff posses is that he simply cares about the people he is working with. He really treated us as if we were his family. Thank you Jeff for being there for us!
- Dmitry W.

My husband and I cannot say enough great things about Deb. In a very hot market in Stratton, where cash bids are still flying around and properties close seemingly overnight, Deb calmly and efficiently walked us through multiple bids until we found what we eventually purchased. In all that time, she kept our spirits up, provided us with daily up to date detailed information, and kept searching for new opportunities as well. She is easy to communicate with, honest in her assessments, and conducted numerous virtual tours for us sometimes in the middle of a snowstorm. Not all realtors share her integrity and professionalism. We closed on a property last Friday and Deb handled everything so smoothly. We can say that this sale would not have happened without Deb’s expertise. She has extensive local knowledge and contacts to assist with whatever the buyer needs to finalize the sale. We made a new friend in Deb and recommend her highly!!
- Dana & Louis P.

Jeff was my listing/seller agent for my second home in VT, which sold in 11/2020. He was extremely thorough, very good on his follow through with various issues, and his attention to detail was right on. This sale being a vacation home for me, I was not physically at the property and Jeff was my “boots on the ground”. He went above and beyond his responsibilities, going so far as painting my front steps as a courtesy, giving the home a better first impression. He has been in the Stratton VT area for a while, has many different contacts and certainly local knowledge. He is a real professional. I would recommend him to represent you in a real estate transaction.
- J. Calvitto

Alison is a very knowledgable and patient Real Estate agent. She helped us and our son find the right homes for each of us!
- Amy Baxter

She helped us sell and buy! She is the best!
- Wendy B

Jessica assisted me with purchasing a home in Vermont during a time the market was exploding. Due to COVID, all of our interaction, until closing day, was done via phone, email or video chat. She met with my inspector, which was extremely helpful, as I couldn’t be there. While searching for a property, she provided videos or video chat, which was perfect! I appreciated her assistance and would highly recommend her!
- Susan Lisa Bailey

Words cannot express how happy we were to have connected with Jeff for the buying of our vacation home in Vermont. Jeff advocates for the buyers and truly has your best interest in mind. He is knowledgeable about the market, a strong negotiator, a great communicator, patient, and reliable. He rearranged his busy schedule on multiple occasions just so he could be there for us! We had a mildly stressful buying experience due to our lender and Jeff was always there for us, helping us in any way that he could. Now, not only do we own our dream vacation home in VT, but we also gained a great friend! When looking for an agent, DO NOT hesitate to reach out to Jeff with Cummings & CO. You will not be disappointed!!!
- Denis J Waldron

My husband and I worked with Alison on purchasing our home. She worked very quickly and efficiently as she knew I was under pressure to find a home closer to work and reduce my commute before the snow started to fly. She listened to our needs and wants and responded very professionally. The best real estate agent we have worked with and buy and sell a lot of houses as our side job. We will only work with Alison and her company!
- Robert and Alexandra Lurvey

We connected with Jeff while looking for a ski condo in southern Vermont. Jeff provided invaluable guidance during our accelerated process of finding a place in Dec and closing in mid-Feb of this year (2021). The condo itself is modest but has character and a view of Stratton mountain, it’s a great location and overall a perfect fit for our needs. We were a bit apprehensive about the remote buying process at first, but Jeff is an excellent communicator and walked us through the whole process with no surprises. Truly many thanks to Jeff and we highly recommend working with him.
- Julie and Gary

We started working with Jeff back in March of 2021. We recently closed on what we think is the perfect house for our family! Jeff was with us every step of the way through the process. It really felt like nothing was out of bounds for him to jump in and help with (sorry Jeff!). We live in NY and the house is in VT, so Jeff was instrumental in helping to facilitate numerous inspections, work estimates and our ongoing requests to stop by the house for miscellaneous needs. My wife and I went to the house last week to get a jump start on painting, and even after closing, Jeff was there to support us through the process. This included 2 trips to the local dump, where I am now a proud permit holder to visit on my own in the future. Jeff was truly a support through this process and in the end we ended up with an outstanding property and gained a local friend in Jeff!
- Jamie Rubin

Deb was so attentive to every detail throughout the buying process. After touring a few homes, she knew exactly what we were looking for and helped us find a great house in Vermont!
- Rick G.

Deb made a daunting process totally seamless. We were able to purchase a second home from out of state, and it would not have been possible without Deb. She started by showing us a wide selection of homes to give us a great overview and helped guide us every step of the way. She was always available for every question we had, and continued to go out of her way for us after we closed. She was thorough, helpful and genuine. We were so happy to have her on our side, and you will be too.
- Sean C.

I highly recommend Cummings & Co. Real Estate. We were able to secure a condo after the first week of viewing. Chris answered all the phone calls and the written questions and concerns. He helped us deal with our insecurities of being first home buyers and was there on closing day. Thank you, Chris and Ali!
- Kim and Jesse Stirtan

Jeff was terrific to work with. He was on top of all the steps of the process from start to finish, so helpful for us as we weren’t familiar with Vermont’s process. He’s a great communicator, and kept us in the loop through all stages of the sale. He even went the extra mile for us with one potential buyer who was problematic, advocating on our behalf and protecting our interests. In the end, he found us a terrific buyer, with an outcome that left everyone very pleased.
- Susan & Doug Creighton

The role that Jeff played in my recent purchase of a mountain top cabin was invaluable. The sale process was competitive and quick. Jeff’s knowledge of the sellers’ wants and needs were well understood and, unlike the last time I purchased a home back in 2004, the entire process from bid to closing was smooth, predictable and only positive. Yet, beyond his vast real-estate expertise, the most valuable attribute he is able to provide others in pursuit of Vermont property is that he is a true Vermonter. He has an incredible knowledge base of everything the state has to offer and is willing to share, guide and provide connections throughout the purchase process and beyond.

Thank you Jeff, I am so very grateful for your guidance.

- Ann Filer

We really lucked out when we chose Chris Cummings as our realtor! We contacted several realtors before settling on Chris as our buyer’s agent, and we’re glad we did. He is extremely knowledgeable about Vermont, has lots of local contacts, and really went to work for us, acting as our “boots on the ground” while we searched listings from out-of-state. His patience, honesty, sound judgment, and easy-going manner were invaluable. He was very responsive, and diligently ran down the answer to any question we threw at him. Ultimately, we ended up with our dream home and property, and Chris was a huge part of making that happen.
- Glenn Mayer

I really cannot say enough good things about our experience with Jeff and would highly recommend him. His expertise was invaluable selling my parent’s home after they moved out of state. Jeff provided excellent guidance on pricing and marketing the property and was ceaseless in keeping my family informed on the status of the sale of the property. He repeatedly went above and beyond to handle the endless list of issues that needed to be addressed when selling the property. I’m perfectly confident that his clients in the future will be just as happy as my family and I were with the service he provided.

Jeff Sheehan is an amazing person and realtor. When you first meet him, you come to appreciate that almost immediately. This guy is a real gentleman. His appearance, his demeanor, his humor, his clarity, his dedication, his focus his commitment his energy: I can go on and on.

Jeff sold two properties for us. Being absentee owners, he oversaw the entire process (including painting and dump runs)! His suggestions were invaluable, leading to the sale of both houses within the first week of listing. This left only a few weeks to empty 25 years of contents. Jeff did his thing. His ability to manage and monitor the task was most reassuring.

Jeff is the best of the best!

- Nancy & Hank

We had a wonderful experience working with Dan McKenna at Cummings & Co. Dan listened to our wants in a new home and helped us narrow down our search. He was extremely knowledgeable with the area – he has lived in the area for a number of years and knew the community extremely well. He assisted in every aspect of the purchase of our home – helping us line up the inspectors, find the lawyers, etc. He was great at communicating through the entire process. He recommended hikes, lakes, and restaurants for us to check out. After the purchase he came by with a few goodies from the local stores and hand-made trail maps for the paths in the woods next to our home. Such a great experience working with Dan and Cummings & Co. We love our new home in Londonderry, and we highly recommend Dan McKenna at Cummings & Co. to anyone!
- Kathy and Tom Blozy

Dan was perfect. A great realtor. His knowledge of the area, the people, and the history of given properties was astounding. He worked tirelessly with the two of us (sometimes each of us bringing different perspectives and priorities) through many different viewings and requests for more information. It was never about “closing a deal” for Dan, it was about finding the right home for us. He was always professional and prompt, happy to visit a property for us sight-unseen and was consistently solid with his advice about how to proceed, adjusting well to the market. Dan is a great guy to boot: Always friendly, always positive, fun to be around. 1000% recommend.
- Caroline Rand and Tim Reed

Ali was great to work with! We were purchasing a home from a distance and she stuck with us to find the right right place for us via lots of FaceTime, text, emails and calls. We ended up purchasing a home with her sight unseen, which shows you how much we trusted her!
- Melanie H.

I rarely give 5 stars in any review, but Deb deserves it. She is more than punctual, usually arriving at a showing well ahead of time, and her knowledge of the local real estate market was a big help in our decision process. All around, a very professional approach.
- Ed F.

It was such a pleasure to work with Ali! She’s a good listener, knows the area intimately, is well-respected in the community and even after showing us almost 30 properties, never lost her great sense of humor or pressured us to buy. But most important – she found us just what we were looking for at a price within our budget!

Chrissie and Ezra Ripple 2016

Alison is a wonderful person and a terrific agent. We bought our home through her several years ago and have been close to her and her husband ever since then. I would highly recommend Alison to my friends and family
- Dave A

Ali helped us to find the perfect home. She is a seasoned pro who really understood how to meet our needs. Her insight and knowledge, particularly around vintage homes and barns was super helpful. She is hardworking, patient and a pleasure to be around. And, after we bought the place, Cummings & CO. (Ali and Chris) even came back to help trim down the 20 foot lilacs! They truly do it all.
- B and L Chester, VT

We took a very big leap of faith deciding to buy our first house during these changing times. We found Jeff and from there we knew he was the type of agent who would be able to ease us into the buying process. Jeff was always available to us, even during his own time. He always took the time to explain the home buying steps with optimism and professionalism. We highly recommend Jeff and Cummings & CO., not only is he our agent we consider him a friend!
- Joy Marie Biondi

We are so happy that we chose Jeff to be our agent. During our sale we had constant updates, notes and immediate answers to our questions during the listing.

There were times when we felt literally overwhelmed by circumstances but Jeff kept us level headed, constantly reinvigorated us through the process of selling our home. Jeff is a people person and has a wonderful demeanor about him. Jeff’s professionalism obviously could not be attained without the obvious life experiences he has obtained, and we could never imagine anyone else standing in the gap for us. He represented us, and put our concerns and expectations on the front burner. I would recommend Jeff Sheehan at Cummings & CO. Realty in a heartbeat.

Thanks so much Jeff!

- David Herzfeld

We were looking for a new home, a place with a view and a few private acres. Finding a likely listing, we clicked on “more information” and indicated our interest. It should have come as no surprise that we received a phone call within seconds and toured the property the next day.
We met Jeffrey Sheehan. Such a quick response is his standard, as we came to know. Jeff was always prompt with a reply and made it a point to be in communication with us.
Navigating the real-estate market in the post-COVID world was frustrating, to say the least. Jeff’s knowledge made everything as easy as possible for us. He knew what to expect, who to contact and he was experienced enough to understand everyone’s role in the process. Jeff always brought all of the information he had to the table, or he sought it out.
Many times we felt that this transaction could never be accomplished. If it were not for Jeff’s persistence and commitment to help us problem solve, we would have given up. When responses were required by other parties and none seemed to be forthcoming, Jeff went into action. He prompted others to take the actions necessary and made sure everything was done in an ethical manner.
Needless to say we are settled into our new home, and it couldn’t be better! We are convinced that we would not be here was it not for Jeffrey Sheehan:
He is responsive almost to the point of selflessness.
He is knowledgeable beyond expectations.
He is driven by an ethical code and a desire to make the experience as fulfilling as possible.
There was not a problem he would not tackle with us.

Thank you, Jeff.

- Colleen Hunkler and Glenn Hynick

Jeff was very professional and very knowledgeable of the area of Vermont I was interested in. He was very responsive on every step of the process and gave me news faster than the attorney. He made everything very easy and I was very comfortable the entire time. He has helped me with knowledge after the sale as well. Grateful for the introduction.
- Bruce and Sarah

I cannot speak highly enough about working with Jeff Sheehan. He was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful during a time-sensitive bid, and has continued to be supportive after the close. It has been a great experience start to finish!
- Kate James

Jeff was extremely accommodating and insightful. Every step of the way he guided me and worked tirelessly to get me into a home. His local expertise and knowhow are unmatched. I could genuinely tell he wanted to get me into a good home.
- Scott McManus

I couldn’t possibly have been luckier to have met Deb Hanst to assist my family in purchasing my new home. She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient and above all kind. She is a wealth of knowledge and helped us make informed decisions about specific locations and the purchase process. When I was called away for work she rearranged her schedule to close for me last minute without skipping a beat. We arrived at our home to a basket of local goodies. I wouldn’t have wanted to work with anyone else. She made us feel reassured about a somewhat intimidating process so we got to enjoy the excitement. I would recommend her without reservation.
- Morgan C.

I was working hard to buy a home in a few different locations in Vermont with no success. During such a competitive market and a historically challenging period, buying a home on your own can be overwhelming. Then I got a call from an informative, confident, pleasant, and experienced broker, who put the REAL in real estate. It was Lisa Kelly. I knew that I would succeed in my endeavor after that first phone call. She responds quickly and is direct with her advice. One early morning she put in an offer on a property for me. Due to the desired price point there was competition. Thanks to her experience, the offer was accepted. Lisa has strong team skills and remained composed during the entire process. My family and I thank you Lisa for a dream come true as we sit by the fire on a snowy spring morning in our enchanting hillside home!!
