With a background in development and new construction, I quickly learned that the best investment one could make is one in real estate. Whether purchasing your primary residence and receiving wonderful tax write offs, buying that small condo and watching it appreciate, building on a vacant lot, or investing in a multi-family and receiving passive income every month. One should look forward to significant returns over the years. The key to this is knowing the best investment for you, and a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

I moved to Burlington in 1998 with a passion for real estate. After graduating from the University of Vermont with a degree in Community Development and Applied Economics and a concentration in Small Business, I took an internship Pomerleau Real Estate which lead me Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman Realty, the #1 Real Estate Company in the area Hickok & Boardman Realty.

When I'm not working, you can find me renovating my 1895 Burlington Arts & Crafts home, snowboarding, running, training for upcoming marathons, spending time with Zermatt, my Greatest Swiss Mountain Dog, or doing what I love most, playing golf.

  "I was transferred to Vermont by a large multi-national company.  We found Nick to be the best agent that we have ever worked with in the US."

Marty G - Essex Junction

 "We were relocating and meeting several seller agents during our home search.    Our acquaintance with Nick began with contacting him on-line on a property that he represented. His excellent follow through and subsequent meeting lead us with confidence to have him represent us as our buyer broker on the home that we purchased.  My parents trailed us to Vermont and used Nick as their buyer agent also with the same great satisfaction!  Nick also has been a great resource before and after the purchase of our home.  Thank you Nick!"

 "Nick Riina's ability to have a flexible schedule that met my needs allowed my relocation to be a success and a minimal interruption while I was focusing on my new career."
