What do Clients Say?

Kieran is not only incredibly knowledgeable, he is profoundly dedicated to his job and his clients. Extremely personable, he goes beyond the call of duty to get the deal done and every single details ironed out. He is well known and rightfully appreciated in the community, fiercely hardworking and impressively resourceful. The sale and purchase he helped me with had many moving pieces and was very complicated. I can honestly say that I could not have done without Kieran. I am indebted to him and highly recommend him.

P.S. - Shelburne, VT

Kieran Donnelly directed us through a five-month process from accepted offer to closing. We encountered title issues, permitting obstacles, and a variety of additional conditions to be met. Kieran led the entire team of seller, attorneys, lenders, builder and numerous agencies having jurisdiction while keeping me -- the buyer -- at the forefront of his attention. He directed us with patience, practicality and a great sense of humor which certainly helped us through many hurdles. At every twist and turn, he mitigated our risk and exposure to ensure that we were getting the best deal while protecting our interests. Kieran's counsel, knowledge of the market and experience with the local AHJs is absolutely invaluable This is our seventh major transaction with Kieran and I would never think of working with anyone else.

Kieran nothing less than great. He managed the sale of our house effectively through targeted advertising in various media and negotiated the best offer from the many we received. Kieran is a true professional in what he does and the best realtor we have worked with in our many moves.

Kieran was so detailed in the whole process of selling my townhome. I was very busy at the time juggling an elderly mother and my own move that Kieran keep me on track with all that needs to be done in selling a home. He’s so easy to work with. He was accessible when I had questions and a great guide. He sold my place very quickly and had moving suggestions all along the way. I recommend Kieran as a great Realtor and thank him so much for selling my place for me. It was a good experience. I have only sold a few homes in my life and when I move again I’ll call him for sure!

There were 5+ points in this transaction where it should have fallen apart. Permitting issues, twists and turns with insurance, financing. He was tireless and wildly successful in minimizing and eliminating each and every risk - managing the timeline, protecting our deposit, protecting us from ourselves - an unbelievably skilled professional. I learned things. I was initially a little skeptical of the need to have a buying agent at all, as we have bought two homes prior to this one with no representation on either the buy or sell side. Oh how I was mistaken. Those were easy transactions with known parties and many years ago, For this property, the market conditions were (still are) extremely challenging for buyers, in particular Burlington, and compounded again by the extreme uniqueness of the property. It is arguable that this is the most coveted street (and certainly the highest priced), in the most expensive city in Vermont. The challenge of getting our offer selected when competing with numerous offers, some cash, and many above asking was extreme. Our offer had to come together quickly, and Kieran's counsel on the structure of the offer, down to finite detail on the style of proposed financing, nuances of the escalation clause, proposed time to close were 100% absolutely invaluable. Getting a house without a cash offer in this market alone was an accomplishment, on that street, I'm not sure another agent would have even accepted us as a client, I don't think any others could have pulled it off. Unreal skill. What's more, I don't think we overpaid by a single penny. Kieran got us into that house 10 times between the acceptance of the offer and the close so we could bring architects and contractors through. Incredibly accommodating. His knowledge of the market, working relationships with the insurance & mortgage broker were absolutely invaluable. It is our dream home. Kieran made it happen, I doubt another agent could have. We will be forever grateful.
