About Lance Vermeulen

Personal

I’m Berkshire grown, and proud to be the owner of one of the few remaining independently owned real estate offices in South Berkshire County. Born in Great Barrington and raised in South Egremont, I attended the one-room schoolhouse in Egremont, and The Berkshire School in Sheffield. Following a short stint at Menlo Business College, I worked 91 hours a week on the Alaskan pipeline in Prudhoe Bay for seven months. I saved enough to become a partner in the family company, Kenver, Ltd., an upscale ski and outdoor store. After managing Kenver Ltd. for 19 years, in 2000, I embarked on a new career in real estate. Bringing my commitment to customer service and an array of local connections cultivated over decades, I carefully built one of the most successful real estate companies in the Berkshires. I’m a people person. I think people would say I’m caring and jovial. I like to make people laugh, but my drive to go the extra mile—or two—or twenty—to serve my clients is serious. I am obsessive about solving problems and staying on top of the countless details of every real estate transaction. What makes this company unique is that we understand that buying and selling houses is so much more than a business transaction—it’s personal. I’m pleased to say that my extraordinary team of full-time agents are the best in the business, and LVRE truly owes its success to them.
