Local Roots & Real-World Experience

I’ve called Vermont home since 2018, and I bring a unique blend of local insight, marketing expertise, and hands-on real estate experience to every client I serve. I’m known for my persistence, strategic approach, and calm confidence, and I’m dedicated to helping my clients navigate their next real estate transaction with clarity and success.

My own home-buying journey began during the uncertainty of the COVID-19 market, giving me firsthand experience with the resilience, strategy, and negotiation skills it takes to secure the right property in challenging conditions. Since then, I’ve expanded my real estate expertise through investing in and managing my own property—a duplex in Elmore, Vermont. I personally staged and transformed the property into a successful two-unit short-term rental, gaining valuable experience in property management, hospitality, renovation, pricing, and investment strategy.

Four years later, I put a competitive price on that investment using local market data and strategic positioning, ultimately walking away extremely happy with the profit I earned. Building and growing my short-term rental business has given me practical, real-world insight that I’m able to share with both new and experienced investors throughout Vermont, with a particular focus on Stowe, Waterbury, and Warren.

Professional Background

Originally from Minnesota, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Communication and Journalism, followed by a Master’s degree in Strategic Communication Management. Before entering real estate, I served as Marketing Director for a high-growth financial publisher in both Florida and Vermont. That experience sharpened my skills in branding, market strategy, negotiation, and high-impact communication—skills I now bring directly to my real estate clients.

A Strategic Advocate for Clients

I’m passionate about real estate and believe that strong representation requires more than simply knowing the market. I combine financial literacy, strategic marketing, local knowledge, and strong negotiation skills to advocate for my clients and help them make confident, informed decisions. Whether I’m helping someone buy their first home, sell a property, build an investment portfolio, or explore residential or commercial opportunities, I’m committed to creating a thoughtful strategy and delivering results.

Life Beyond Real Estate

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, traveling, reading, writing, kayaking, and spending quality time with my husband, family, friends, and cats.

What My Clients Are Saying

"Negotiated a great price."

"My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Helena Woodruff as our buyers agent for our property in Stowe. Helena made the process so easy and negotiated a great price for us. We live just outside of Boston and made our purchase “remotely”. Helena made sure to answer all questions and visited the listing multiple times providing videos, pictures and great detail. If you are looking to make a purchase or selling, we would highly recommend her based on her customer service, communication and overall approach!"

"The whole process for us was seamless."

"This was our first time buying a home. When we met Helena, we didn't know what the process would be like. She made everything very simple and gave us complete honesty throughout the entire process from the very beginning. From suggestions, negotiations and even the whole inspection process. We were not able to make it to the inspection, so she went there on our behalf and met with the inspector to make sure everything was smooth and kept us updated the whole time."

Satisfied Client

"She went above and beyond."

"I just closed on purchasing my first home and Helena was absolutely amazing. Always available to take my calls or respond to my many questions I had about the process. I can honestly say with all my heart that I would recommend Helena to any and all individuals I know who would be in the market for buying a home. She went above and beyond and it means the world to myself and my family."
