Sarah was always available, responded quickly and was a true professional. She always went above and beyond. We felt very fortunate to have Sarah as our Realtor - it took us a long time to find the right home and she was very patient with us. We are grateful for her!

Working with Sarah was a delight. We came to Vermont with a strong idea of what we wanted to find, however Sarah was not afraid to push our boundaries and open our eyes to new ideas that would work for our family. Sarah also knew that our time was limited and worked with our tight schedule to show us only the very best homes on the market. Her knowledge of the area was extensive and helped to solidify in our minds that Middlebury was the right place for us. We purchased a home unlike any we [...]

Sarah was fantastic to work with. She was always available - we had a response to any text, email or phone call within 24 hours and usually within less time than that. Every complication that arose she took in stride, had answers, encouragement and/or someone's name at her fingertips who could help us. She was always professional, encouraging and enthusiastic. I can't imagine trying to do this without her! When we got to closing it was smooth as can be because of Sarah's diligence [...]

So easy to talk to, always listened and always got back to me. I explained what I wanted and you found me a home that fit my lifestyle perfectly.

Sarah and the IPJ team patiently guided us new home buyers through every stage of the process. We could not be more happy with the process or the result and are especially happy with the house we bought and the price we bought it for. Sarah did a great job understanding our needs and preferences and in guiding us to homes that would suit us. Thank you - fantastic experience!

Jen and I loved working with Sarah and the team at IPJ. As an out-of-state second home buyer, we relied on Sarah for so much advice and help. She is a true pro (and a very nice person!). Our hats off to her for doing a wonderful job!

Sarah's knowledge and communication are the things I remember most. She responded quickly every time I contacted her and was readily available to look at properties. That's why I'm the Owner of this lovely home - we looked at it first! She coached me calmly and clearly through every detail of the buying process and was extremely knowledgeable about the physical aspects of properties and legal requirements as well. This was very important to me since buying a home was a big leap. The [...]

As first-time home buyers, we knew very little about the process. Sarah kept us informed and excited. From new listings to showings to helping us successfully close on our new house, Sarah was all we could have hoped for in an agent: she was available at all times, well informed, and fun to work with!

Of all of the home purchases we have ever had, this one was the most seamless, thanks to Sarah Peluso and the staff at IPJ.

Sarah found us the house we love; then, when we had to sell, she got us a price above our asking amount, in less than a month. Shes just the best!
