Broker, Owner

Bret Williamson

Offering clients deep insights beyond listings, and expert guidance for homeowners entering the market in Killington, Vermont.

I grew up in a family that owned and operated a Real Estate business, and I quickly developed an interest in the industry amid constant discussions of all phases of buying and selling real estate at every family gathering. This immersion gave me the ability to learn how complicated deals really get done beyond the typical basic procedural steps.

Since graduating from college here in central Vermont, I decided to build my home, family and work life in Killington. I have been with Killington Valley Real Estate since 2003, that along with living and working in the outdoor recreation mecca of Killington allows me to enjoy an adventure-based lifestyle while constantly expanding my knowledge of the area and the current real estate market, and growing my business. Today I successfully serve my clients in all phases of the purchase and sales process and as a Green Mountain lifestyle concierge.

I provide clients seeking property with information and details that go far beyond listing data, and for current homeowners who are entering the market as sellers, I increase the quality of their listings and provide guidelines for successful sales of their property. My experience covers land and real property, primary and second homes, sales and rentals of investment property. I look forward to educating anyone interested in pursuing a Vermont lifestyle and welcome any questions that come my way.

I am dedicated to providing tailored, trustworthy advice to help you make informed decisions about one of life’s biggest investments. Whether envisioning the potential of land, navigating legal complexities, or negotiating deals, I am committed to ensuring a smooth, successful transaction. My goal is to exceed your expectations, earning your trust and referrals by delivering exceptional results.

I moved to Killington with my husband Lee, in 1975 and founded Aspen East Ski Shop.

We expanded with Surf the Earth Snowboards, online stores, and a 9,800-square-foot facility—all while enjoying mid-week mountain adventures with friends and customers. As a former PSIA-certified ski instructor, I transitioned into real estate as a broker with The Performance Group during Killington’s development boom, earning a GRI designation in 1980.

As a proud member of Killington Valley Real Estate, I collaborate with an experienced team and leverage strong industry connections, including attorneys, lenders, inspectors, and builders, to deliver fast and effective service.

Realtor

Doug Quatchak

30+ years in Vermont, from Killington Resort marketing to real estate since 2004. I’m excited to guide you through Killington’s Real Estate.

I have called Vermont home for over 30 years, having moved to the Killington area in the fall of 1991. I came to Killington for the same reasons that a lot of people choose to move here: the best skiing in the East, the healthy outdoor life-style and the superior quality of life.

I spent my first thirteen years in Vermont working for Killington Resort in sales and marketing. Working for Killington and interacting with people from all over the world was what really hooked me on the area.

After thirteen years of selling Killington Resort, I decided to start my real estate career in 2004. For almost 20 years I have had the pleasure of being able to assist friends, locals and visitors with all of their real estate needs. Exciting times are on the horizon for the entire Killington area with the long-awaited Six Peaks at Killington Village development. Let me and my experience help you and your family become part of Killington’s next, and most exciting chapter, whether in Killington itself or any of the surrounding towns.

Bret has been handling all of my real estate needs for a number of years. When I was a landlord he would let me know of any changes in the rental market so I could adjust the rent I would ask. He also always referred good, responsible tenants. When I decided to sell my house he planned a strategy to generate a lot of interest in the property quickly. The photo layout and the listing description were fabulous and I received a number of bids above my asking price. In every transaction, Bret was professional, friendly and I always felt he had my best interest at heart.Whether you are buying, selling or renting I can easily recommend Bret Williamson and Killington Valley Real Estate to do a great job.

Having worked with other realtors in the past, my family knows that Bret is the best! Bret took the time to get to know us and understand exactly what we were looking for, and then helped us navigate our options in an incredibly tough buying market. His knowledge and experience of the Killington area were evident in the guidance he gave; he was incredibly responsive during all steps in the process, which put us at ease. Home buying is stressful; working with Bret made it a very smooth and exciting process. Thank you!

I worked with Bret on a home purchase in Killington and he did a great job. There were lots of challenges during the purchase process but his professionalism and knowledge of the Killington area helped me a great deal.

I have been working with Bret on and off for years. First helping us find a few seasonal rentals, then most recently when we were looking to purchase a condo. Bret was responsive, professional, and great to work with. He was able to provide local attorney and bank recommendations for us since we are out of state buyers and give us insight into the area and the purchase process. Things ran smoothly and we were able to close for a good price in a quick time frame just in time for fall foliage season!

As a first time home buyer, I made sure I did the research including which realtor to work with and I'm so happy I choose Bret! He was extremely responsive, quick to get back to me, and helpful in explaining the process throughout the experience. I should note that at the time I bought my home, he was extremely busy with an influx of buyers. Truly, everyone was buying a home! But despite being busier than normal, he was attentive and on top of everything.Plus, I was able to purchase my home at a lower price than I expected thanks to Bret's guidance. I'm so happy with my first home and highly recommend Bret. Thank you!

I have known Bret Williamson since about 2018. He helped me with a house that I had under contract in 2019 but did not end up buying. He helped me again with purchasing a house in 2023. He has shown me multiple properties in the meantime. He is reliable, takes his job seriously, comes prepared, is honest, and does his job well. He provides resources on the Killington area such as lawyers, contractors, cleaners, etc. I am very happy with Bret's real estate broker services and would highly recommend him. I would use him again if I buy again in the Killington and Rutland area

My siblings and I hired Bret to help us sell our mom's house in Killington. As out-of-staters, we really needed a local pro with deep knowledge of the market. Bret was invaluable from start to finish, helping organizing the prep of the house for sale, to determining local comps and setting the price, all the way through closing. He took great care to keep my mom's best interests in the forefront throughout the negotiations. I highly recommend him!

We bought a Killington ski condo eight years ago working with Bret. This year when we decided it was time to sell, and based on our previous experience, we didn't hesitate to reach out for his help. We were not disappointed - Bret worked with us to quickly put the condo on the market and get the offer we hoped all within a week. He was incredibly helpful all along the way and would recommend anyone looking for a real estate agent in the Killington area to reach out to him. Thanks Bret!
