She has handled hundreds of property matters, from residential purchases to the creation of sophisticated common interest communities. Her work concerns the legal arrangements behind property transfers and developments, where clients need a clear understanding of the documents, responsibilities, and steps involved in completing a transaction.

Elizabeth received a B.A. from St. Michael’s College and completed her clerkship with Wilson Powell Lang & Faris in 1989. Her professional preparation connects an undergraduate education with training in a legal practice setting. Property transactions require careful reading, analysis, and communication.

Elizabeth’s career includes approximately 30 years of real estate practice described in her firm profile. Her transaction experience ranges across residential and commercial matters with differing levels of complexity. She has also lectured and co-authored publications on liens and credit issues, advanced Vermont real estate, and foreclosure and repossession. These subjects involve questions that can affect property interests and require attention when reviewing the legal setting of a transaction.

Elizabeth Demas belongs to the Vermont, Chittenden, and American bar associations. Her community service has included board membership and leadership with Maple Leaf Farm. She brings substantial property transaction experience to her work with clients. A successful closing process depends on addressing unresolved questions and understanding commitments before completion. Her real estate focus provides continuity for clients working through those steps in residential purchases and more complex commercial arrangements.
