In 2021 Coldwell Banker Islands Realty welcomed several new faces to the company. Sue Arguin has joined our staff as the Agent Development Coordinator. Licensed Realtors Paul Habersang, Susan Kaminski, Deborah Unica, and Sam Rossetti-Thiels have also joined the team.

As the company expands, it was necessary to bring on someone dedicated to providing training, one-on-one support, learning sessions and more for our Realtors. We were fortunate to find Sue Arguin to fit that role as Agent Development Coordinator. Providing agents full time support will help them grow their business and provide their clients with the best experience possible. Sue's real estate experience and personable approach will be sure to strengthen the culture at Coldwell Banker Islands Realty.

Susan Arguin has been a licensed Realtor with CBIR for the past year and a half and has recently changed roles to Agent Development Coordinator. Sue is looking forward to putting her 30 years of experience in real estate to use in the Islands. She moved to South Hero in 2016 and worked at Community Bank NA for 4 years but is ready to jump back into the real estate world. 

Paul Habersang became a licensed Realtor and joined CBIR in early 2021. He has lived in Vermont since 2011 and is a seasoned professional with many years’ experience in sales, customer service, and relationship development. Paul has always believed that timely responsiveness and consistent follow through on commitments are two key elements that drive customer satisfaction and he will continue to practice this while transacting real estate.

Susan Kaminski has been a licensed Realtor in Vermont since 2012 and recently joined CBIR. Having moved eight times with her family, she understands the emotions and stresses of buying and selling a home. She strives to provide clients with exceptional customer service and skillful guidance through the entire real estate transaction.

Deborah Unica recently became a licensed Realtor with CBIR. Deborah has been a resident of the Islands for 22 years. Her daughter grew up attending the Champlain Islands Parent Child Center and Folsom school. Deborah spent many years helping Vermont families plan for college and more recently served as director in a medical setting. She is looking forward to using her experience in planning, marketing, relationship building, and negotiation to assist buyers and sellers through the real estate transaction process.

Sam is a born and raised Vermonter who has been working at a large box retailer for the past 10 years. She worked her way up the ranks to management and gained many useful skills that will carry with her in her new career as a real estate agent.

Sam's positive attitude, excellent customer service and organizational skills have made her successful in her career thus far, however she was looking for a change. Due to her love of HGTV home remodeling shows and enjoyment from working with people, Sam decided that a career in real estate would be the perfect next step in her journey.

Sam recently went through the home buying process herself and was fascinated by the moving parts involved and all the work that goes into a real estate transaction. She understands how being on the other side feels and can give you the guidance and confidence needed to navigate this large investment purchase.

When Sam isn't selling real estate, you will catch her walking and exploring trails, enjoying the lake and hosting girls night for her closest friends. She loves spending time outdoors but she can't wait to come home to her cats and snuggle on the couch. Sam also enjoys doing renovations to her own home and creating equity through finishing touches and design.

We are pleased to announce that Susan Kaminski has joined Coldwell Banker Islands Realty as a licensed sales associate. Learn more about Susan below. 

Susan has been a licensed real estate agent in Vermont since 2012. Having moved eight times with her family (across three states: IL, IN, VT), she understands the emotions and stresses of buying and selling a home. Her most recent move - which involved downsizing and a complete home renovation - was to Vermont’s Lake Champlain Islands. Her personal experience combined with knowledge of Lake Champlain, Grand Isle and Chittenden Counties will make your next home sale or purchase a successful venture.

She strives to provide clients with exceptional customer service and skillful guidance through the entire real estate transaction – working closely with mortgage brokers, inspectors, appraisers and attorneys. The Vermont home market is very competitive and requires an agent with knowledge of the area, expertise to formulate a competitive offer, proficiency in pricing properties correctly and the ability to navigate contingencies to make your real estate goals a reality.

Susan describes living on Lake Champlain as unequivocal beauty and tranquility; an oasis of nature! When not selling real estate she enjoys boating, traveling (especially to nearby Montreal), relaxing on her back porch, taking in the lake views and reading a good book. Give Susan a call – she would love to help you reach your real estate goals today!

We are pleased to announce that Paul Habersang has joined Coldwell Banker Islands Realty as a licensed sales associate. Learn more about Paul below. 

Paul has enjoyed living in the Green Mountain State since 2011, when he relocated from his native state of Connecticut for a new career opportunity. He is a seasoned professional with many years’ experience in sales, customer service, and relationship development. Throughout his career both in corporate and non-profit settings, Paul has always believed that timely responsiveness to client inquiries and consistent follow through on commitments are two key elements that drive customer satisfaction. In the business of transacting real estate, both timely responsiveness and following through on commitments are key when striving for a successful outcome!

Paul earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management from Quinnipiac University in Hamden, CT. He worked in the electrical industry for nearly twenty years with both General Electric and Square D Companies. During that time, several job transfers around the country required the sale and purchase of a number of homes. As a result, Paul understands and appreciates the purchase and sales process, particularly by recognizing that the sale or purchase of a home is often the biggest transaction of one's life! 

In 2008, Paul earned a Masters of Divinity from the General Theological Seminary, New York City, and has served in several capacities within The Episcopal Church USA. Paul is a believer in giving back to the community and dedicates some of his time to serving on a Professional Advisory Team at the UVM Medical Center in Burlington while also serving on the Board of Trustees for the Brookhaven Treatment and Learning Center, Chelsea, VT. Paul enjoys staying physically active and working outdoors. He is the proud father of two adult sons and currently resides in South Burlington.
