A Local Story with Deep Roots in Real Estate & Service
Barb Getty moved to Stowe, Vermont, in 2004 after growing up in a small town in Michigan. Her career in real estate began in 1998, working alongside her father in the family business. Her father’s influence ran deep—he not only owned a real estate firm and built countless homes, but also volunteered his time and skills building housing in Nicaragua. Inspired by his dedication to community and service, Barb quickly followed in his footsteps.
In 2006, Barb founded Haven Property Management to support a handful of her real estate clients. What began as a small side service has since grown into a trusted, full-service property management company serving homeowners throughout Stowe and the surrounding Vermont communities.
In 2023, Barb’s husband, Doug, joined Haven full-time after a career as a professional firefighter. Drawing on his background in emergency response and hands-on problem solving, Doug now leads Haven’s grounds crew and maintenance team, ensuring every property is cared for with precision, safety, and reliability.
Our Mission: Peace of Mind for Every Homeowner
At Haven, our mission is simple: to care for each property as if it were our own. We understand that owning a home in Vermont—whether full-time, seasonally, or as a second property—comes with unique responsibilities. From harsh winters to vibrant summers, we’re here to make property ownership stress-free.
We offer year-round property management, grounds maintenance, renovation oversight, and concierge services—all backed by decades of experience and a commitment to personal service. Our clients are more than just customers—they’re neighbors, friends, and part of the Haven family.
Barb & Doug Beyond Work
A Passion for Stowe & Community
When they’re not managing properties or overseeing projects, Barb and Doug enjoy taking full advantage of all that Vermont has to offer. Barb loves skiing Stowe’s slopes, traveling with her husband, spending time with her grandson, and raising her beautiful Great Danes.
Doug, a former full-time firefighter, brings his same sense of dedication and service to Haven’s work. Outside of managing the grounds and maintenance team, he enjoys the outdoors, working with his hands, and giving back to the community he now calls home.
Together, they share a love for Stowe, its people, and the unique Vermont lifestyle that makes this area so special.
