Every encounter was a pleasure for Ed and me, and we will always be thankful that Rick was recommended to us.

Fantastic experience: Rick was fabulous. From our first discussion to the completion of the sale, he was proactive in guiding us through steps needed to have our house ready to list and to highlight the many positives of our listing. His diligence and responsiveness never flagged. We followed his advice throughout and got two very strong above-list value offers shortly after our house was listed. Rick was a pleasure to work with and never took his eye off the ball. His suggestions for preparing the house for sale were terrific. I would highly recommend him to anyone who asks. Scott McGee

Fantastic experience: Rick was phenomenal to work with! We had to do the majority of the process remotely, and made the whole process SO smooth.

Fantastic experience: I would unreservedly and highly recommend Rick Higgerson and his team to anyone seeking to work with a professional real estate broker on a high end deal in the NH/VT area. Rick proved to be creative and strategic in mindset; an excellent listener; direct and transparent in communicating across topics; organized and proactive about the process; expert in his role; and a joy to work with to boot. Our transaction — which had its complexities — was closed less than 4 months from the day we met Rick to explore the idea of a sale. That must be some kind of record. It certainly exceeded our expectations.

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Rick when he guided us in finding and buying a Quechee condominium in 2019. So when in the last year we started to explore buying a home in Quechee, we of course reached out to Rick. We enjoyed our conversations with him on what we were looking for in a home. Rick was astute in identifying potential properties that were in line with our preferences. When we found a place that we were excited to buy, Rick provided keen advice on how we could distinguish our offer. Once we signed the P&S for our purchase, we turned to formulating our strategy on selling our condo, which was successful and led to a smooth closing. In both the buy and the sell, Rick kept us organized, on task and on schedule. He was always responsive and good humored, giving us the benefit of his extensive experience when we had to navigate an issue. We are thrilled with the end result of both transactions, especially our new Quechee home. It felt even better to have Rick join in our excitement!

Fantastic experience: Rick Higgerson & Company are the absolute best in the business for all your real estate needs. Amazingly organized and professional, Rick is a true superstar in Real Estate sales. 5 star all day long!

His communication was always prompt, clear, and respectful, keeping me informed every step of the way. Rick negotiated effectively on my behalf, securing a great deal and making me feel confident in his abilities throughout. I would highly recommend Rick to anyone looking to sell their home.

Fantastic experience: We bought our home through Rick. He really listened to our goals and desires to understand what was important to us and showed us some great properties... even ones that weren't just right - right house, too big property - but gave us the perspective to know what was right for us when it came around. He's always been fair and honest. A joy to work with.

Fantastic experience: Rick was a fantastic realtor from start to finish! He has a very thought out process and constantly followed up on details. Everything went off without a hitch and we were extremely pleased. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Rick is amazing. He knows the market and our area, is highly professional p, very organized, connected with other professionals, and is warm and friendly. He found just the house we were looking for.

Fantastic experience: I could not possibly rate Rick and his team more highly. Every aspect of our experience with them was, frankly, perfect. Every detail was covered and not a stone left unturned during the entire pleasant process. His strategy for listing and pricing our longtime family home was exactly the right one, and he was sensitive to and appreciative of our emotional history with the property. Unquestionably, Rick is the best real estate broker I've ever worked with.

Fantastic experience: We worked with Rick and his team on the sale of a Vermont home that had been in our family for close to 50 years.

I greatly valued his advice including the timing of when to put the house on the market and what the pricing should be. I would definitely use him again.

Fantastic experience: Attentive to our needs, deeply knowledgeable about the market as a whole, and able to represent us effectively in the specific details arising out of our purchase. A personable and capable champion for us during one of life's bigger decisions.

Fantastic experience: Mr. Higgerson was the only listing Broker to effect the sale of StoneMeadow in Barnard Vermont. Without Mr. Rick Higgerson's ethical and professional background the sale may well have never gone through. Mr. Higgerson's expertise and knowledge moved the selling process through some extremely difficult phases and being a rather large sale, he preformed his duties representing the property with incredible expertise and skill. Without Rick and Sotheby's in the wings, this sale may have never gotten off the ground. I fully contribute the sale of StoneMeadow to Higgerson's incredible professional and ethical standards coupled with his years of selling high end homes, I can't thank him enough.

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about The Higgerson Team and Rick. From the beginning to the end of the process I always felt completely supported, treated with kindness, and my opinions and what was important to me respected. The presentation of the property was perfection. The communication suburb! A person could not ask for more. Thank you Rick

Fantastic experience: Rick Higgerson and the Higgerson team are absolutely the best!!! From my initial contact with Rick and throughout the whole process of getting my condo ready for sale, recommending someone to stage the condo, taking photos for the listing, and putting it on the market, Rick was an invaluable resource. And then, as showings took place, Rick was at many of the showings, interacted with other brokers, and calmed me down until an offer came in and that didn't take long! He also helped me manage a few little wrinkles after the offer came in. Most importantly, I found Rick to be incredibly competent, available, and a true partner. In addition, it was clear that no matter the price of a listing, Rick provides the same level of service to all his clients. I recommend Rick unconditionally.

Fantastic experience: Rick is a genuine expert in his field and an amazing advocate for his clients. He helped my brother and sister-in-law with the purchase of their first home in Woodstock, VT during an extremely competitive time in real estate, and we've been honored to team up with him on our search for the right property for us. He helped us navigate some unique situations in the purchase process, and was always there with his contagious energy helping us work through every snag. Now that we've closed on our amazing property, he's now listing my parents' place to continue the tradition! You'd be lucky to have him as your agent.

Fantastic experience: We thoroughly enjoyed working with Rick. He is both professional and personable and knew the area very well. It was a pleasure working with him. We highly recommend him!

Fantastic experience: Rick set the pricing and timing of our sale just right to maximize interest and we accepted an offer well over asking for our sale!!

Fantastic experience: Rick has all the qualities of a real estate professional that you could ask for. Communicative, knowledgeable, respectful, professional. He takes the time to get to know you and willingly goes above and beyond to get things done - much needed when you're from out-of-town trying to coordinate the purchase. Thanks, Rick!

Fantastic experience: We have had an amazing experience starting to finish with Rick Higgerson and John Chapin. From the outset, their teamwork and dedication to giving us wide-ranging marketing coverage and updates throughout the process were excellent. We were especially delighted with John Chapin's commitment to "closing the deal" and ensuring all the various elements were completed. These are extraordinary times, and to have John go above and beyond to handle every detail was indeed extraordinary on every level! He crossed off each item with humor and grace, even venturing out in a snowstorm to connect with service people in our absence. We cannot recommend a better team! With gratitude, Lydia and Stephen Bartholow

Fantastic experience: We selected Rick Higgerson to market our property following more than a year of very dismal performance by our previous Broker in all aspects including responsiveness, communications and marketing. We have dealt with a number of Brokers along the way and were always very pleased on how responsive Rick's team was to our questions and interactions when we were dealing with various issues. The manner in which Rick marketed our property was impressive and created opportunities for buyers to take note of the value they would be getting in purchasing the property. Rick's guidance was always very thoughtful and on target with the ultimate goal in mind which was to close the deal. In the end, Rick and his team came through for us at a critical time, as Rick had predicted, and we very much appreciate it. Rick is the very best in the business and highly recommend him and his team for your real estate needs.

Fantastic experience: Our experience with Rick as our sales agent was quite pleasant and without stress due in great part to his expertise in communication. As I have been referred to as a curmudgeon on many occasions, it was indeed refreshing to find someone who could read our personalities and cater to any issue with temperance and patience. Additionally, his marketing skills and ability to talk the walk, makes him a consummate professional.

Fantastic experience: We have purchased and sold multiple properties with Rick's help and counsel. His professionalism, timely follow through on all issues, and knowledge of transactional issues and the local marketplace make him a great asset to his clients.

We found him particularly helpful in navigating offers in a challenging market. We heartily recommend using him as your real estate advisor, counselor and confidante.

Fantastic experience: Rick recently sold our house in West Newbury. He did an amazing job marketing the house. His timing on when to put the house on the market was impeccable (it sold very quickly).The pictures of the house which were taken were very well done. Finally, he helped us through the negotiation, notably when we had to deal with a fraudulent report by a chimney inspector. In summary, we sold the house quickly and got a cash offer. We highly recommend Rick.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend using Rick for any Upper Valley real estate needs. He was incredibly patient and helpful as we conducted an on again, off again search over the past couple years. His experience, relationships and knowledge of the area (as well as his understanding of what we were looking for) were instrumental in helping us ultimately find and close on the perfect home. Rick went above and beyond in his service throughout the process and we wouldn’t have been able to do it without him!

Fantastic experience: We loved working with Rick on the sale of our condo this Spring! Through the process, he consistently went above and beyond -- from getting beautiful photographs and creating an amazing brochure of our place to helping us navigate the many complex nuances of the home sale process.

He assessed our needs of trying to move quickly and was able to come up with a plan to optimize our chances of selling quickly with as few interruptions in our daily life as possible. He paid attention to little details like professional photos and staging that O believe made our house stand out. He coordinated all visits, inspections, and paperwork leading up to the close in a seamless way. And, on top of all the fantastic realtor work he’s a genuine and caring person. We really felt like he had our family’s interest at heart. Thanks for everything Rick!

Fantastic experience: Rick was responsive, thorough, and was able to succeed negotiating with a challenging buyers broker. He was always positive and made the sale of our house possible. The professional photographer that he used presented our house well on the internet. We would definitely use Rick again.

Fantastic experience: Rick Higgerson brokered the sale of our home in the Fall of 2018. We were amazed and delighted at the level of customer service and expertise Rick provided. He offered terrific suggestions on what to do in order to get the house to market and offered names of trusted vendors so we could easily get pre-sale work done. His understanding of the community and the housing market was apparent when we discussed a selling price. Once the house was on market, he communicated often and clearly on the status of each potential buyers’ visit. We had a buyer within a week! Rick is a hard-working, authentic, and enthusiastic person who enjoys his job and we are so appreciative of his efforts.

Fantastic experience: Three years ago, my husband and I began to think about retiring to either Vermont or New Hampshire. We decided to start looking in the ski areas in Vermont and we enjoined a realtor, who worked for Four Seasons Sotheby's in Ludlow, Vermont. We were very happy with him, but in the end we made the decision to start our search in the Upper Valley. (Hanover, NH and Norwich, VT) He was kind enough to refer us to Richard "Rick" Higgerson who works out of the Hanover, New Hampshire office of Four Season's Sotheby's. . We set up an appointment with him the both of us hit it off with him right away. He was friendly, pleasant, prompt and very professional. We were bowled over by his knowledge of the real estate market in the Upper Valley. We were also pleasantly surprised at all of the other real estate agents that he knew personally and with whom he had very good relationships. We never once had an issue of previewing a property that was listed by another broker. Each time we came up to view properties, Rick had a plan mapped out for the day. He presented us with a comprehensive portfolio of the listings we were going to visit. He managed our time very wisely and not once were we wasting time waiting for a showing. Each trip was flawless. Once we found a property to purchase, Rick was there to help guide us through the offer process, the inspection, the mortgage and the closing. For two out of state residents, the task could have been daunting, but Rick made the entire process seamless. Rick's contacts within the industry are invaluable. We would highly recommend Rick Higgerson to any couple or family who were thinking of relocating to the Upper Valley. He will definitely find anyone their "forever" home.

Fantastic experience: Rick helped us sell our home in Norwich and we couldn't have been more pleased! He put together a video tour of the house and took pictures from a drone to showcase the surrounding land. The result was an absolutely beautiful presentation of the house that brought an immediate response with a steady stream of showings.

Fantastic experience: Rick is our sole source for real estate information and action. He has represented us several times as buyers and always ensured that our interests were central to any deal. He is a kind, warm and friendly professional ... and a heck of a nice guy!

Fantastic experience: I have had the opportunity to work with Rick in both the capacity of a seller and buyer. I can reflect on my experiences and state that Rick is the consummate professional. His knowledge in the market provides insightful understanding of the neighborhoods, infrastructure and recent and pending transactions. He is punctual with his due diligence, contracts and meetings. I would highly recommend Rick as a real estate professional.

Fantastic experience: Rick was a pleasure to work with and is an excellent communicator. He used a professional photographer to create an impressive brochure and presentation for displaying our home. We would use or recommend Rick in the future.

Fantastic experience: Rick Higgerson is like no other realtor I've dealt with. His level of professionalism and his knowledge of the market was uncanny. The presentation he made of my home was exceptional. He was always polite, considerate and worked quickly. He also was personable and friendly at all times. All in all a stellar combination of attributes.

Fantastic experience: Rick was terrific throughout the process of selling our farm. Prior to the listing his market analysis and advice laid the foundation for a successful listing. The photography and marketing were superb. We had multiple offers almost immediately, and his skill in dealing with the ultimate purchasers and their needs was much appreciated and led to a problem free closing. He was always knowledgeable, professional, accessible and responsive to our inquiries and I would recommend him unhesitatingly.

Fantastic experience: Rick was spot on with his timing to list our house. Not only was the timing perfect, we closed over our asking price within 30 days.

Fantastic experience: Rick is the best realtor we’ve ever worked with...on either side of the transaction. He is knowledgeable and knows real estate and his market remarkably well. He understands his clients needs and is consistently responsive. And he is just a delight to work with. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Fantastic experience: Rick handled all aspects of our recent purchase in Norwich professionally and with integrity. He negotiated a fair resolution to a few complex issues allowing the deal to move forward. This is our second time working with Rick and we highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: We were damanding and high maintenance and not very organized. Rick was on top of every text, email, vendor request, appointment change, last minute schedule request/change, due date, contract revision, and everything else that goes with being a superb real estate agent. Couldn’t ask for anyone more thorough or more professional. And just a pleasure to work with on a daily basis.

Fantastic experience: At the end of 2017 my husband and I made the decision to sell our home in Orford and make the move to the Hanover area. We choose Rick Higgerson to assist us in both endeavors and could not have been more pleased with the results. Beyond his notable skills ,knowledge of the real estate market and professionalism, Rick is a wonderful person and an absolute joy to work with. He was there with us every step of the way when needed and made what could have been a very stressful process easy and even enjoyable. I could not recommend him highly enough. If you choose Rick to help you with your real estate needs you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I found Rick extremely effective as the Broker in selling our substantial house in Norwich (closed April, 2018). The process began with sound advice on pricing and then with the professional photographers whose work was used in a high quality on-line presentation and printed presentation booklets. It extended to his effective showing of the house and working with other brokers. It included his strategic advice as we looked at some 7 months on the market. And finally the confidence we had in him - and his technical abilities - enabled us to review and sign the earnest money contract while we were on vacation in Cape Town, South Africa. We recommend him enthusiastically.
