Sugarhouse Real Estate began with two friends and a shared love for Vermont. The mountains, the community, and the feeling of arriving at a place that always feels like home. The origin story is simple: two parents met while dropping off their children at preschool. One owned several vacation properties in Vermont and had long struggled to find reliable, high-quality management and renovation services. The other had a strong background in residential construction and knew how to take a house down to studs and build it back better. Over coffee, chairlifts, and shared frustrations with missed deadlines and subpar service, Sugarhouse was born.
The name “Sugarhouse” reflects both the Vermont spirit and the company’s approach to business: honest, down-to-earth, and guided by a desire to improve everything we touch. Our founding principle is this:
Do what you say you’re going to do, when you say you’re going to do it.
Who We Serve
Vacation Homeowners
You fell in love with Vermont for the same reasons we did (quiet trails, powder days, long weekends by the fire). Or maybe the dirt trails or waterways call to you. But when you’re not here, who’s watching your home? Sugarhouse is your local team on the ground, keeping your property secure, your systems running, and your home ready for your next arrival.
Multi-Residential Property Owners
Whether you’re local or out-of-state, managing multiple rental units in Vermont comes with real challenges including snow removal, emergency repairs, tenant relations, and regular maintenance. Sugarhouse offers comprehensive, white-glove property management to make your investment passive again.
