Josiah Allen Real Estate is pleased to announce that Jill Simon has joined the Dorset office. Jill, a Vermont resident since 1970, has been active in area real estate for more than 35 years. From 1983-2003 she operated her own office in Manchester and has sold hundreds of homes, and arranged rentals for nearly as many, throughout Manchester, Dorset, and the surrounding towns. Her extensive knowledge of the area, her longstanding contacts, her professionalism, and her proven success in identifying and working with prospective buyers and sellers insure that she will be an asset to Josiah Allen Real Estate. Josiah Allen Real Estate, founded more than 50 years ago, is the area’s oldest continuously operating real estate agency, and the leading independent real estate agency in the state of Vermont. Josiah Allen Real Estate has been helping buyers and sellers come together since 1962. In 1982, Laura Beckwith purchased the agency from founder Josiah Allen upon his retirement. She has led the growth of Josiah Allen from a sleepy, one-realtor, country office to a dynamic boutique agency respected throughout the state and the leading sales and listings office in Vermont. Josiah Allen Real Estate now has 15 agents working with customers from around the region and across the country helping them to find their own special piece of Vermont.
