Claudia Harris

Born and raised in Landgrove, Vermont, Claudia first joined Mary Mitchell Miller Real Estate in January of 2001, working with long-time family friend and mentor Hilary Chalmers in Hilary's mother's namesake real estate business in Weston. Claudia bought the business from Hilary and Alan Chalmers in early 2005 and the firm continues to be regarded as one of the best small, independent real estate brokerage firms in Southern Vermont.

Claudia graduated from the Taft School (1983) and the University of Vermont (1987) with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science. That degree first took Claudia to Washington, DC, where she worked in the public policy arena for 14 years before following her heart and soul back home to Vermont. When she left Washington to get back to her roots, Claudia realized that working as a government relations consultant/analyst was going to be a challenge from the not-yet-wired hills of Vermont, and she began to think of her next move. She hails from a long line of realtors/builders and her interest in real estate took hold and the rest, as they say, is history.

Claudia has served as a Director to the Vermont Association of REALTORS Board since 2017 and is a past president of the South Central Vermont Board of REALTORS (2009 and again in 2019). In 2022, Claudia was named the South Central Vermont REALTOR of the Year (for the second time), and in 2021 she received both the Vermont Association of REALTORS' and the South Central Vermont Board of REALTORS "Good Neighbor" award in recognition of outstanding volunteer and civic work.

In her spare time (is there such a thing?), Claudia is an Advanced EMT and regularly active with the Londonderry Volunteer Rescue Squad (LVRS). She volunteers with various community organizations ranging from her service as a Trustee to the Weston Theater Company to long-standing support for local service organizations like Neighborhood Connections, the Neighbors Pantry (food bank). She has served in many roles with her town and currently serves as Landgrove’s Town Moderator, Justice of the Peace, and Grand Juror.

Claudia and her husband John Wiley live in Landgrove.
