Simon Verkaik, REALTOR® VT/NH

“Selling our home came with a number of unexpected challenges that were completely out of our control, but throughout the entire process, Simon was steady, proactive, and incredibly supportive. From start to finish, he kept us focused, informed, and moving forward—even when things felt uncertain. What stood out most was his ability to stay calm under pressure while clearly guiding us through each step. He consistently communicated what to expect, offered thoughtful solutions, and made sure we understood our options so we could make confident decisions. When obstacles came up, he handled them quickly and professionally, always keeping our best interests at the center. His persistence, organization, and positive attitude truly made a difference. He didn’t just help us sell our home—he helped us navigate a difficult situation with confidence. We are so grateful for his dedication and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable realtor.”

“Simon is well-informed and takes his job very seriously, and yet is quite personable and friendly. His attention to detail while still seeing the overall big picture is very impressive. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to either buy, sell, or rent. I think he's likely one of the very best working in this area.”

“Simon did an excellent job throughout the entire sales process. Received a quick first offer and then handled difficult negotiations always with our best interest in mind. Simon was very thorough with all required paperwork and walked us through the process with ease. He went above and beyond the call of duty including shoveling snow when we couldn’t get to the property to do it. I would recommend Simon to anyone buying or selling a home in southern New Hampshire.”

“This was my parents home , and my sister was the contact person, he was very respectful & polite. , because we are in Mass. it was difficult. But Simon. made it as easy as possible ! thanks kim”

“Simon was incredibly helpful to us as we navigated selling our parents home. The house was in a trust and we live out of state. He made the whole process much easier and with no stress. Simon gets a big thank you from all of us!!”

“Within the last 6 months my sisters and I lost both our parents. We all live out of state and have had a lot of work to do to settle their estate and sell the house. When my parent’s neighbors recommended Simon we gave him a call. We were worried about how long it would take to sell because there were many other houses for sale in the neighborhood but Simon was positive and confident. He immediately stepped into high gear and took over for us. He was attentive, always kept us updated and had an offer soon after it was listed. When those buyers backed out Simon was wonderful and started up again full force and had another offer for us soon after. From start to finish Simon made selling a house from afar easier than I thought possible. He is very knowledgeable, patient and hard working. I’m so grateful for his effort and Professionalism! I highly recommend Simon!!”

“Simon’s tenacity has been an essential part of our success in closing on my first home within just 2 months of my first viewing. With Simon’s encouragement, I was able to overcome intense hurdles and hardships through the process of becoming a homeowner. The joyful moments of pride and triumph were the highlight of our team effort. Throughout our diligent work together, Simon has been consistent and responds in a timely manner, often instantly furnishing paperwork or replying to any communication with little delay, if any. If you are looking for a real estate agent that goes above and beyond, you are going to want to get in touch with Simon. His human approach to the purchase and sale of homes is something you deserve to experience, too. I will forever be Simon’s client, and I recommend that you do the same.”

“Simon was wonderful to work with and you can really tell he's passionate about what he does and always had a positive attitude. I'm a first time homebuyer and don't know the NH/VT area too well. Simon explained everything and provided so much support at every step of the process and was able to give a lot of insight on the areas that we were looking in. He made sure he was understanding what I did or didn't like about different houses to find listings that he thought would fit me. He was always readily available to answer questions and had great recommendations for lenders, inspectors, and attorneys. I would definitely recommend him as having him by my side made the process of finding and buying a home significantly smoother and more enjoyable.”

“I am delighted to share my outstanding experience with Simon Verkaik, a young and dynamic realtor in the Upper Valley of New Hampshire and Vermont. Working with Simon was truly a pleasure, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the exceptional service and dedication provided throughout our home-buying journey. From the moment we spoke with Simon to help us find our home, his passion for real estate and commitment to client satisfaction was absolutely apparent. For a younger realtor, he possesses an impressive knowledge of the local market, neighborhoods, and available properties, which made the entire process smooth and efficient. And when Simon, did not know something about a property, he immediately found the answer, showing commitment and keen problem solving skills. Simon's attentiveness to our specific needs and preferences made us feel valued and prioritized, turning what could have been a daunting task into an exciting adventure. What sets Simon apart is not only his expertise but also his unwavering dedication to ensuring our complete satisfaction. He went above and beyond to schedule viewings at times convenient for us, patiently answering our numerous questions, and providing valuable insights that helped us make informed decisions. As a young couple navigating the complexities of the Upper Valley real estate market for the first time (good luck if you are in that position!), we were grateful for Simon's guidance and support. His professionalism, enthusiasm, and genuine commitment to our happiness were truly refreshing. With Simon, we not only found a realtor but also gained a friend in our home-buying journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Simon to anyone in search of a dedicated, knowledgeable, and personable realtor in the Upper Valley. Thank you, Simon, for turning our dream of homeownership into a reality. Your passion for what you do truly shines, and we are immensely grateful for your outstanding service.”

“I’m very grateful for the guidance and assistance Simon provided through the entire process. This was my first time selling a home, and it was an emotional time for my family as we were selling our childhood home after the passing of parents. From the initial walkthrough helping us decide how to prep the home for sale, market analysis for pricing (he was spot on), the open house, explaining the offers and the many hurdles we faced before closing- Simon was there every step of the way. I highly recommend him!”

“Working with Simon was a true pleasure! From start to finish he was engaged, responsive, understanding, patient and professional. He made a difficult and emotional process easier, showing kindness and thoughtfulness at each step.I highly recommend working with Simon and certainly will during my next real estate venture.”

“Simon was our agent for our current residence in New Hampshire. He showed us many houses over a period of several days while we were here visiting and then handled the purchase for us as we were 3,000 miles away. He coordinated all the inspections and negotiated the expenses with the sellers. He coordinated some of the repairs on the house before we arrived and was there to give access to inspectors and those doing repairs. We wouldnt have been able to do it without him.”

“Simon's help, service, and guidance were outstanding.”

“Simon was so fantastic! He made sure mine and my partner's needs and wants were met! He was so lovely to work with and answered all our questions and made everything so easy! Thank you, Simon!!”

“I originally contacted Sal Cania about a house he was selling and he referred us to Simon.”

“We visited the area for just a few days, found the house we wanted to buy and then did the entire purchase (including offer, inspections, addendums, and the actual signing) all from 3,000 miles away. Needless to say, we had to rely on Simon for almost everything at the local end. He coordinated several inspections and was there in the house while each one took place. He dealt with the title company, lender, contractors, and attorneys. He definitely earned his commission on this sale. We highly recommend Simon if you’re looking for a reliable representative in the Upper Valley area.”

“I don't think that words could easily describe the commitment, time, and energy Simon provided us throughout our home search. His ability to steer us in the right direction and protect our interests made us feel extremely comfortable during such a stressful time and market. Simon was incredibly patient with us and provided wonderful feedback each time we saw a home. Due to his diligence, willingness, and supportive nature he helped us find our home in one of the busiest and most competitive markets. We were able to make connections with other people in the Upper Valley thanks to Simon and his ability to build relationships. Just as important as finding our home, we have developed a great friendship with Simon that will last long after closing!”

“Simon was the exact realtor we were looking for! When we were looking for a property in early 22', every realtor we encountered had no time, was unresponsive, or flat out did not care about our needs and wants in a home. I was referred Simon through a community member and he was the complete opposite of every other realtor we spoke with previously. He was timely, responsive to any communication, suggested properties based on our needs and wants, and most of all, he went above and beyond in every aspect of of the home buying experience. While Simon was not as experienced as other realtors we worked with, he quickly sought out answers when he didn't know something. He made sure to contact the right people to get a clear and thorough answer to our questions. Simon has the work ethic every home buyer wants in their realtor. When that is combined with the experience he has received and is working toward every day, I can honestly say you will find no better realtor in the upper valley. It was a pleasure working with Simon and I hope you get the opportunity to work with him in the future! Sincerely, Christopher Niemczak”
