Bio
After being a visitor to the Mad River Valley since 1969, Perry and his wife Valerie decided to make the move permanently in 2015 and relocated the family. An agreement was made with Perry’s three siblings to purchase the family 'home away from home' and the next few years was spent getting a first-hand education in development, renovation and construction. First with the construction of a detached garage with an in-law apartment above, built with elderly parents in mind, then family and friends to visit, as well as rentals. Perry’s family were the first to move into that apartment for a year while he took the main house down to the studs; weatherizing, 'solarizing' and renovating just about everything to make it a year round home. All the while, Perry was doing his best to maintain the original character of the home that his parents loved so much.
As Perry was overseeing the construction on his house, the process of subdividing the property for his sister began, as well as being the shuttle driver for the kids. When the time came to get back in the game, aka kids started driving, becoming a Realtor made perfect sense. With the 50 years of history in the valley and then becoming a local, Perry wanted to put his 30 plus years of entrepreneurial success towards helping others buy or sell their primary or second homes.
Prior to making the move to the Mad River Valley, Perry’s career was that of an entrepreneur. A Summer sales job during college became an 11 year run after graduating with a BA in Economics from Dickinson College. It culminated as the Division Manager for northern New England. Perry’s next venture was a garage startup with his college roommate that involved touch screen advertising in hotel lobbies. Perry grew that business coast to coast, and after 20 years it was time for another change which brought Perry, Valerie and their two children to the valley.
Outside of real estate, and his children, most of Perry’s interests involve a sense of adventure. He holds a private pilot license, UAV license, motorcycle license, scuba certification and has participated in car racing and fighter pilot ‘for a day’ programs. He has jumped out of a plane, heli-skied in Canada and looks forward to skiing new mountains in the US and abroad before too long.
Way back in the beginning of my career in sales, I had heard a quote from John C. Maxwell that stuck with me:
"If you do the things you need to do when you need to do them, then someday you can do the things you want do when you want to do them."
My 'someday' is today, and I get to do what 'I want to do'. My choice is to help others with their real estate decisions. If you wish to move to Vermont’s Mad River Valley, I prefer to work as a Buyer's Agent, that means I represent you when you are my client. If your 'someday' means you are upsizing, downsizing or leaving the Valley, and you need me to find someone to purchase your home, it would be my pleasure to put my 30+ years of sales experience to getting you the very best outcome.
