Green Light Real Estate Celebrates the Holidays by Giving
Green Light Real Estate will host a Holiday Food Drive
from November 18, 2022, to December 14, 2022. Anyone can
come to our office at 63 Barre Street in Montpelier to donate
non-perishable food items or toiletries and enter to win one
of five gifts specially picked out from some of our favorite
Central Vermont businesses.
As the holiday season gets into full gear and the snow starts
to fall, the Green Light family finds that we have much to be
grateful for. We’ve opened three offices and recently moved
our Montpelier office to a larger location. Our agents, old and
new, are excelling and helping the people of Central Vermont
to purchase and sell properties across the area. The Green
Light Real Estate family continues to expand and grow, and
to celebrate these successes, we are giving back to the community
that has supported us over the last ten years.
This year we’re collecting non-perishable food items to aid
the organizations that are tackling our state’s growing food
insecurity problem. As of 2021, 13.5 million households in the
U.S were food insecure, and 5.1 million households had inadequate
food security. A University of Vermont study found
that nearly 30% of Vermont households have been food insecure
since COVID-19, and about a third of that population
were newly food insecure. Hosting this drive lets us give back
to the community in a way that allows us to continue fulfilling
some of our core commitments.

What to give new homeowners
this holiday season
The real estate market has been a wild ride in recent years.
Sellers have cashed in on record-breaking profits, and buyers
have had to compete against many others — sometimes
in bidding wars — for a limited number of properties. Once
listed, homes are selling fast. As interest rates rise and inventory
increases, things are likely to change, though for some it
did not come soon enough.
Individuals who were lucky enough to find a new home
this year may discover they now have little money to outfit
those homes. Shoppers with new homeowners on their holiday
shopping lists may want to help those loved ones outfit their
homes this season. The following are some home-related gift
ideas to get shoppers started.
• Video/smart doorbell: Although the smart doorbell market
began with only a handful of options, there’s now a bevy
of manufacturers who make video and smart home doorbells.
These doorbells serve the dual purpose of alerting homeowners
to someone at the door, while providing surveillance of
the comings and goings outside of the home. Depending on
the product, a subscription may be needed to access video history.
Doorbells range from $50 to $200 and more depending
on features and resolution.
• Furniture gift card: There’s a good chance new homeowners
will need to furnish new rooms in a home, particularly if
they’re coming from an apartment or a smaller place. Many
people also like to update furnishings when they move into
new places. A gift card to a popular furniture store in the area
will provide the head-start new homeowners need to secure
sofas, dining sets, lamps, rugs, and more.
• Customized doormat: Give that new home additional curb
appeal with a doormat customized with a special message or
the new homeowners’ names, such as Welcome to the Smith
Home. Other customizeable products include cutting boards
and wall plaques.
• Programmable thermostat: A programmable or learning
thermostat will help new homeowners save on their energy
bills. Many thermostats now pair with smart home systems
and phones and automatically adjust the temperature as needed
to reduce energy consumption.
• Linens: A high thread count sheet set or plush Turkish cotton
towels may not be something new homeowners think to
get for themselves. But these luxurious gifts can make life at
home more comfortable.
Moving into a new home is an exciting yet expensive endeavor.
Carefully curated gifts can tap into what new homeowners
need the most.
“Supporting our community, local businesses, and local
initiatives is extremely important to us. Our business invests
heavily in Vermont towns, and we understand that our business
thrives when our towns thrive,” notes Ray Mikus, Green
Light Real Estate’s principal broker.
“We make it a point to work with and refer local businesses
to our clients when buying and selling homes. We understand
that you get better and more personalized products and services
when you go local, and it’s also a core value of our company.
We understand that supporting local businesses translates
to bolstering our community and decreasing the number
of food insecure families in Central Vermont.”
You can drop your goods off at our Montpelier office on
63 Barre Street. There will be a drop-box on the front porch.
While you’re there, you can enter the contest by filling out the
form or scanning the QR code. If you see our Realtor On Duty
sign–come in and say hi.
