I recently returned from a short vacation in Thailand. It was my
first time there. I loved the people, the food, the beauty of the
country. I definitely recommend a visit to Bangkok and to
Chiang Mai in the north where you can go elephant trekking,
white water rafting, etc. I'm ready to return to see other
parts of this beautiful country.

Excerpts from Recommendations from some of Hal Sheeler's Clients
Hal is very knowledgeable, so well-connected—he was able to help us find
something in our tiny little price range and didn’t mind walking up
and down a million spider web-filled stairways to do it.
I can’t imagine not having Hal as our realtor.
Hal’s approach to this process really made our lives
so much easier than it could have been.
He’s professional, honest, caring, and
an all around great person to do business with.
Courteous – Gentleman
Very patient
Quietly Dogged
High Tech Real Estate Guru
Will go the extra mile for you
Hal has continuously gone above and beyond my expectations to ensure
smooth closings, even when I thought it would fall through for sure.
He is diplomatic and always has his client’s best interests in mind.
Superb. I have no reservations at endorsing Mr. Sheeler unreservedly._
My wife and I are tremendously pleased with Hal’s services,
and indeed we will avail ourselves of them again
when we need real estate help in Vermont.
Our evaluation is best told through reciting our experience in
working with Hal. We met Hal in the spring of 2007: we contacted him
concerning a piece of undeveloped land. Hal showed us the property,
and was careful to listen to our tentative plans and ideas.
In no way were we “sold” or pressured even though it was an extremely
hot market at that time and we were looking at a relatively
inexpensive piece of land. This wasn’t potentially a large deal for Hal,
however he never made us feel that we were any less deserving of his time and care.
A year passed and our plans matured in a different and more practical direction.
We made contact with Hal again (late March, 2008) and we ended up
making an offer on the place we were to buy in mid-April. Hal is direct,
clear and patient. Hal is also tremendously competent: we dealt with
him intensively as we were doing this at a distance. It was the smoothest
experience in purchasing real estate that we’ve ever had: he is clear,
direct and organized. We came to implicitly trust Hal,
and we’ve availed ourselves of his knowledge of contractors,
electricians, etc. We’ve had a similarly strong experience with these people.
We could not have been happier or more impressed by Hal’s
efforts on our behalf. It has been such a singular experience for us that we consider him a
friend.
We hope you are well. We all know you are a great guy with
excellent customer service qaulifications, I can not tell you
how pleased we were to have you act on our behalf when we
purchased our property, you acted very professionaly and in our
best interest of our purchase and with the best thought
and care of the sellers. You were patient with all our decision making
and you helped us decide on a purchase with some good
solid advice for which we thank you, I have never met a more
remarkable person, you went the full mile even out of your
way to help us, coming from England to Vermont was a huge
transition, but you helped us through everything, for which
we are so very gratefull to you for Hall, your ads are the most
professional ones we have seen in vermopnt and we hope that
you will have much success in your future carreer, we wish you
well and thank you so much, if I had a gold cup I would give it
to you the inscription would be , to the best loyal, and most
friendly helpfull person in selling, and helping buyers,
in vermont, we take our hats off to you sir.
Excellent services; thorough, thoughtful, respectful and a (much
appreciated) listener. Did not waste my time with homes that I had
not requested to see. I would recommend him to anyone without
reservation.
