    About Jenifer Hoffman

    Results-oriented, ambitious, resilient. Achieving success through high standards and a tenacious spirit. All about quality relationships. Confronting potential problems immediately and decisively. Always improving myself... relentlessly pursue goals... rarely miss the mark, but when I do, I learn and grow from the experience. Real estate has fascinated me since I was 6 years old and watched my parents build their house from the ground up. Seeing their dream come true taught me the meaning of "pride of ownership." As a teenager I helped my dad with home-improvement projects and went to open houses for fun with my mom on weekends. After earning my Master's in Counseling, I applied those skills to a career in real estate and never looked back. I love my job! I am a native Vermonter and 3rd generation Benningtonian. My husband, Jon, is a general contractor. For the first 4 years of our relationship we lived in a tiny cabin (only 400 SF!) he rented in Sunderland. The first house we bought was a foreclosure fixer-upper in Shaftsbury. We did a complete gut renovation (without killing each other), which was thrilling and eye-opening, I learned so much. Then we bought 40 acres to design & build our dream home. It has been an incredible labor of love... literally from sketching it on paper to framing, windows, doors, siding, insulation, floors, etc... making every decision along the way (ask me about the only major disagreement LOL). We moved in right before the COVID shutdown in March 2020, got a puppy, I opened my business, then we built the porches, garage and conference room, did landscaping, and ordered a swimming pool (coming soon!). It's been a whirlwind, but the finish line is in sight for this dream home come true.

    It's pretty simple. Jenifer is the sole reason we were successful in buying our first home. Where to begin? I could mention her professionalism, kindness, and incredible patience...(we were first time buyers.) That reminds me, if you are a first-time anything, get Jenifer Hoffman! I suppose I could mention the incredible depth, breadth, and wealth of her knowledge about Real Estate, which is awe-inspiring. Then again I suppose I could tell you about the fact that when she says she is going to do something, she does it, and does it well, every time, without fail. Then I might talk about her INCREDIBLE advocacy on our part; she single-handedly guaranteed the success of our deal on several occasions, and she negotiated on our behalf as if we were her family members, rather than simply her newest clients. So I could tell you all those things, or maybe I'll just say this: We had a property in mind when we first reached out to Jenifer, and our deal turned out to be more than a little complicated, with A LOT of moving parts. Jenifer was absolutely TIRELESS on our behalf, she never faltered, never wavered, and never gave up. (As a matter of fact, WE almost gave up. But she kept us going.) As I say, it was complicated, and while she never said anything to us, it is clear to us that it was more work than usual. Jenifer was as enthusiastic, energetic, patient, and professional on the last day as she was on the first. I'm not sure I have ever met anyone who was as good at their job as Jenifer is at hers. So again, it's pretty simple: If you want your deal to go through, get Jenifer Hoffman as your agent.

    Jen was really a pleasure to work with. My particular deal had some unusual hurdles pop up ON CLOSING DAY no fault of Jen or myself. But nonetheless it appeared closing would have to be moved...well at least that is what I was told by other stakeholders. Brought Jen up to speed and by some almost magical powers she was able to make some calls and keep the closing on schedule. I was so grateful. If I ever need a realtor in the future Jen will undoubtedly be my first choice. She is excellent at what she does and passionate about helping people find the right house to make their home. Highly recommend her to anyone.

    As a new home buyer, I hadn't understood what a difference a buyer's agent makes in the process. I'd thought maybe an agent would be helpful with logistics and provide the experience that I lacked. While that was completely true of Jenifer - she was super organized, knowledgeable and proactive in making sure all the mechanics of the shopping and buying were taken care of - most importantly, she never lost fact of the fact that that buying a home is more than just buying a house, and constantly worked to understand what I was looking for and helped to make sure that I knew it myself!

    As first time home buyers, we knew we found a place we liked before we reached out to Jenifer - even so, I wish I had contacted her sooner! Jenifer is friendly and approachable and really listened to what was important to us. Her rapport with local banks, inspectors, and attorneys lead us to an all-star team that handled our purchase quickly. Jenifer addressed issues and problems as soon as they arose, ensured we got thorough inspections, and made sure our negotiations were fair for everyone involved.Jenifer kept us informed of the timeline and process, and was available for our crazy questions any time. If you are looking to buy in the area, contact Jenifer - you won't regret it.
