Engel & Volkers Okemo

Outstanding team!!
Gail, Mendi and Beth are an amazing and caring professionals that made the sale of our home a reality.
We could have chosen a different Real Estate agency but we knew that Gail's experience and attention to detail would be an asset in this very competitive real estate market.
We chose the best!
We know how stressful selling your home can be, the twists and turns are sometimes unavoidable. Mendi was terrific with every aspect of the process. We cannot say enough about how well she kept us appraised of every detail and regardless of her busy scheduled she worked tirelessly and always her communication was flawless.
Thank you Gail, Mendi and Beth for all your care in selling our beloved vintage home. I was a real pleasure working with you.
Our best,

Craig and Maria Fortier

Geralyn Donohue is fantastic! We worked with her for over three years to find a house in southern Vermont, and she was unfailingly patient, knowledgeable and generous with her time and expertise. As out-of-state buyers, Geralyn made the process easy for us and we put our full trust in her to guide us through remote showings. Geralyn was balanced in her approach, pointing out pros and cons of all properties and never pressuring us to settle for something less than ideal. Thanks to her, we finally found a beautiful home this year!

I had the good fortune to connect with Beth when looking for a winter-season rental for my family near Okemo Mountain. Beth was friendly, very responsive, and did an outstanding job finding a property to match what we were looking for. Beth has continued to be a tremendous resource for my family in making seasonal recommendations for activities in the area. This is our second year working with Beth and we could not be more pleased with the results.

Gail was amazing to work with. She is not only very experienced and full of advice, she is also a great listener and advocate for what we wanted in a house. Gail was there every step of the way. She made buying a house simple, timely, and fun.

My husband and I had been casually looking for a ski/mountain retreat for about 5 years. We recently took a chance and bought a 2 family that needed a LOT of work. Our agent, Mendi Michael, was very helpful throughout the process, including giving out-of-towners some great recommendations on local vendors and service providers. We are so pleased with our purchase and with the support and expertise Mendi provided along the way. If you are looking for an agent in the Ludlow area, I would recommend Mendi at E&V without hesitation!

Mendi & Gail were a pleasure to work with. They’re a class act in local real estate. Mendi showed us every facet of our new home, gave us considerable insight into an area we were largely unfamiliar with and even welcomed us with a delicious bottle of homemade maple syrup! Would highly recommend. -Fred & Kris Lopez

Great job by Gail, Mendi and team from start to finish in selling our property. We have known Gail for 20+ years since purchasing the house and helping us with rentals. Highly recommend the personal touch and professionalism. Thanks

My Family did a seasonal rental in Mt. Holly to bridge the gap between houses. Beth Lee and Engel & Volkers Okemo communicated promptly and were very helpful during our stay. It was a pleasure to work with them and I would recommend them to anyone looking to get a feel for the area.

Geralyn and her team did a fantastic job representing us as buyers in a challenging market. She clearly placed our interests first, and was relentless in managing the complexity, questioning and digging into the particulars of each property, addressing topics big & small, and driving great negotiating tactics. And all with fast turnaround times. She has a sharp eye for examining the structures, surfaces and mechanicals in properties for issues to consider. We recommend her highly, and expect to work with Geralyn again.

Beth Lee was so very helpful and knowledgeable about helping me find decent renters for my farmhouse in Mt. Holly. I highly recommen her services to anyone interested in renting either short or long term whether you're looking for a place to rent or wanting folks to rent your situation.

My husband and I decided it was time to put our beautiful 5+ acre lot on Maple Hill road in Belmont/ Mount Holly Vt. We wanted to use Engle and Volker to help us achieve this. We contacted Gail, she put together everything we needed and within 3 weeks we sold. It was very easy and we are very happy.

Gail and Mendi were both great to work with on the sale of our house. They were both very professional, trustworthy and efficient. I highly recommend them to anyone selling or buying property!

Geralyn Donohue was an absolute blessing to us in our pursuit for property in the Ludlow area! Searching from another state presented some challenges, but Geralyn had a pulse on the market and was always on top of it. She was extremely helpful and available for all of our needs and inquiries, and was a master sleuth at uncovering important details of each property that we probably would not have discovered otherwise. Her expertise of the market, the area, and the local connections she provided were invaluable. We are so thrilled with the final outcome and we owe it 100% to Geralyn! We are forever grateful!

Mendi Michaels is an amazing, hard, and smart working realtor at E&V. She traveled throughout the state of VT, showing us houses that aligned with our wishlist as we were not familiar with the state. Once she found us the most beautiful property in VT, she was extremely helpful in finding contractors to do the fixes we needed to have done. Then, a year later, knowing we wanted to add land to our property, she was vigilant with keeping track of opportunities and found the perfect one. So once again, she was instrumental in helping us establish our dream homestead in VT. She was extremely helpful in navigating us through VT real estate/property rules/laws and in negotiating a great price on both properties.

Beth has been a wonderful agent and we have rented our house every year in just a few days or weeks on the market.

She also helps in getting the Government approval needed

Geralyn Donohue landed me and my wife our dream home. Even in a crazy seller's market, Geralyn guided us through so many bumps and waves along our first time home buying journey. She was attentive, patient, responsive, authentic, and even talked us out of a couple landmines that we would have most definitely regretted. To top it all off, she was even able to negotiate down the final home price by $11,000 with an additional $6000 in concessions - something we thought was impossible in today's insane climate.

Geralyn's 25+ years of real estate experience showed clearly through our whole experience. She was the voice of reason when we were getting irrationally desperate, and our rock when our offers got rejected. We could not recommend working with her enough, especially as a first time home buyer.

Really great experience working with E&V selling my house; I felt totally confident throughout the process. Kristen was very patient with all my questions and provided timely and detailed communication. Her overall professionalism, enthusiasm, and support alleviated a lot of the stress in a situation that can be quite stressful. A+ all the way around.

We've been working with Gail for over 20 years, and again this year.
As before, top-flight professionalism. You can't do better.

Geralyn Donohue, our agent representing the Engle and Volkers Okemo firm, deserves special praise. Her positive, calming demeanor in the face of invariably tense, and for us, sometimes anxious moments ensured the smooth flow of the sale of our house in Chester, VT. We were constantly updated and received immediate responses from her to our queries; she was always accessible (many times at inconvenient hours). We were thoroughly impressed with her confidence and experience; it kept us reassured that all was under control. Geralyn provided valuable insight and was able to make key suggestions when we needed advice. She readily volunteered to check on our property, was present for all viewings of our home, and provided us with detailed feedback.

We have found her attributes and abilities to be superior to other agents we have dealt with over the years. Truly she is one special person and agent in an industry of myriad personalities.

We recommend Engel and Volkers Okemo and Geralyn Donahue, to other sellers/buyers in this area of Vermont. She and the firm kept us apprised every week on the number of views on online real estate apps. The listing photographs were phenomenal and our house was marketed and described accurately. Undoubtedly we made the right decision marketing our house with Geralyn Donahue at Engels and Volkers Okemo, VT.

It was a delight to have Kristen as our realtor. Everything was done so professionally and the sale went smoothly. We would recommend Engel&Volker (Kristen) to all our friends and family who are looking to sell or buy!
