One of our main marketing channels at Coldwell Banker Islands Realty is social media. Short-form video has taken over social media and we are leveraging this to highlight listings, the area, and more. These videos reach a broader audience, have higher engagement, and lead to more views on the listing page maximizing the listing's exposure. Check out our top-performing videos of 2022 below.

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

Jackson has been extremely blessed to call the Champlain Islands his home for the past 14 years. At the age of five, he moved to Grand Isle, Vermont with his mother, father, twin brother and the transition could not have gone smoother. This town quickly grew in importance and continues to hold sentimental meaning to him. He spent K-8th grade in the Grand Isle school system, making good friends and finding a love for sports. He kept busy year-round with soccer in the fall, basketball and snowboarding in the winter, and baseball in the spring. He graduated from Colchester High School, where he formed lifelong friendships and played varsity basketball for three years. In the summers, his most important memories would have to be of the time spent on the Champlain Islands. Golfing, camping, hiking, and boating are just a few ways he likes to spend the sunny days on the Islands.

Jackson is very goal driven, hardworking, and dedicated. He is very motivated and eager to learn new things and take on challenges. He is a member of the National Association of Realtors, as well as the Vermont Association of Realtors. He looks forward to helping guide folks through the biggest decision of their life, and getting to know more about them through the process. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Jackson with any questions about the market or any other real estate-related questions you have.
