Vermont and the Olympics
Maybe more impressive than the medals is the charitable work Hannah Teter has done. All her prize winnings at events is given to charity but she has also started a her own charity, Hannah’s Gold after winning a gold medal in Torino in 2006. The charity focuses on the community of Kirindon in Kenya. It raises money from the sale of maple syrup and her own Ben and Jerry’s ice cream “Maple Blondie” to help pay for children's school fees, provide safe drinking water, help with local agriculture, and anything else the community needs. Teter attributes some of the morals and beliefs instilled in her working on her parents land in Vermont to her charitable work today. Great to see our state shine both on the podium and with regards to social awareness and helping those less fortunate.

About Me
Born and raised in Burlington, I left the area to attend Emerson College in Boston. After working with children at the Howard Center, at the YMCA in Colorado and a Middle School in Newton Massachusetts, I began my real estate career in Boston, specializing in the rental market. Having spent time living in Grenada and New Zealand as well as traveling to Asia, Europe and South America, I have enjoyed many different cultures but realized Vermont has something unique and special.
The greater Burlington area has so much to offer with a vibrant downtown, a gorgeous lake, and recreational activities like biking and skiing. Yet its greatest asset is the sense of community making it a perfect environment for students, young working adults, families and senior citizens.
It is my affinity for the unique qualities of this community and desire to build long term relationships with its residents that has inspired me to return to my roots and work with Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman Realty. My commitment to this community combined with my love of sports was recognized when I received the Burlington High School Community Service Award for work I did bringing used sports equipment to Burlington’s Sister City of Puerto Cabezas in Nicaragua.
As your Realtor I will be committed to continuing my record of service and building an honest and comfortable relationship. Your future matters to me and I will work tirelessly to invest my time and energy into providing you with a rewarding experience. In his free time Luke enjoys traveling, playing sports and watching his favorite Boston sports teams.

I would recommend you to anyone.” Mauro
“We both felt you were great finding us a place to live. The most important thing was that you were not pushy, you had a great selection of various apartments and you didn't try and push us out of our budget like many other agents tried to do. Honestly for Max and I you were perfect. Thank you Luke.”
