Born and raised in Shelburne, Vermont and now living in Fairfax where I purchased my first home in September of 2020. If I am not at Heritage, you can find me tinkering at my house, camping or driving around Vermont to find the best rivers for fishing; I love to experience the Vermont outdoors. I'd be more than happy to help you find the right vehicle for every adventure, in a laid back and hassle-free environment. Come experience the Heritage difference.

Derek and Travis made my purchase easy👍🏽 I was VERY impressed at Derek's honesty and his choice to be a salesman for the customer, not the commission. Derek took the time to listen to what I I was VERY impressed at Derek's honesty and his choice to be a salesman for the customer, not the commission. Derek took the time to listen to what I wanted, without ever making me feel like I was being pushed along. He honestly listened to what we needed and helped us to find the Rave4 that wanted at a price that fit our budget (without even knowing our bottom line). Travis from finance made what is usually the most stressful part an easy experience. He even took the initiative to tell us about a better financial term offer that came in AFTER we had done the initial paperwork the day before. Making more work for himself, just to better fit our needs. Same low rate, at a payment schedule that benifited us. Together these two have assured that for our next purchase we WILL be back to them and the H team. More

Professional, courteous, patient Derek Blood spent whatever time I needed assisting me in my search, including meeting with me on his day off, resulting in my purchase of a Certified Derek Blood spent whatever time I needed assisting me in my search, including meeting with me on his day off, resulting in my purchase of a Certified Used Toyota Tacoma. My third purchase with Heritage, probably not my last. Only "other than good" feedback I can give was the approximately 45 minute wait to pay for the vehicle once the deal was made. But, it was a busy Saturday (and there was free coffee!). More
