TRANSFORMING LIVES

Whether it’s helping families to fulfill the dream of home ownership, developing communities, or inspiring employees to fulfill their personal goals, transforming lives is at the heart of everything we do.

ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO WORK

“Care more about the people your employees are becoming than anything else. That means helping them achieve their personal goals and supporting them on their personal growth journeys. Yes, we review numbers and goals in our organization, but our conversations often revolve about who are our employees becoming on the journey. Care more about your people personally and they will show up as better, more dedicated professionals.” 

Erin Torres, President of Livian

PATH TO A $1 BILLION ORGANIZATION

2006
Started in Real Estate
Adam Hergenrother began his career in the real estate industry after realizing that his relentless drive to create the biggest life possible would not happen if he was employed by someone else. In 2006, he and his then girlfriend, and now wife, Sarah Ostiguy Hergenrother, started the Hergenrother-Ostiguy Group. Adam was featured in "30 Under 30" in Realtor Magazine and named the Rising Star of the Year in Vermont Business Magazine. The large sign "NO LIMITS NO REGRETS" hung at their first office and has traveled to all of Adam's 12 offices since.

2010
Founded Keller Williams Vermont
Two years into building The Adam Hergenrother Team, Adam also wanted to grow and open his own brokerage where his focus on personal growth could be utilized fully. He founded KW Vermont, and it was the fastest market center to ever open within Keller Williams in New England. Now KW Vermont has over 150 agents and consistently ranks as one of the top real estate firms in the state.

2011
Expanded To Livian
In 2011, Adam founded Livian (formerly Hergenrother Realty Group) in order to expand the successful Adam Hergenrother Team concept beyond Vermont. After many iterations, a few capital injections, and a lot of failing forward, Livian has solidified a model that exemplifies its passion for leadership and leverage. By providing agents with exceptional centralized services (including administrative support, client care, marketing and lead generation), it allows agents to focus building relationships and helping clients transform their lives through buying, selling, and investing in real estate

Built BlackRock Construction
Adam and his brother, Tom Hergenrother, founded BlackRock Construction in 2012. It has ranked on the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing companies for two years. As a successful developer of custom homes and luxury residences, as well as commercial, mixed-use, and senior care projects, BlackRock Construction is passionate about opportunities that create value in local communities.

2016
Launched Coaching Organization
Never one for standing still, Adam decided to take his six-plus years of coaching, consulting, and teaching, and formalize it into the Achieve Freedom Coaching in early 2016. Achieve Freedom Coaching provides online trainings, one-on-one coaching, full-day seminars, and the year-long, full-immersion coaching program, Project | U. Adam also launched a podcast, Business Meets Spirituality, in 2019 to help others achieve fulfillment by using business as a conduit for personal growth.

In 2019, Adam Hergenrother Companies became a $1 billion organization. Since its inception, it's been voted the best place to work in Vermont five times, Livian has been named the #2 real estate team in the nation and to the Inc. 5000 list, BlackRock Construction has appeared on the Inc. 5000 twice, and Adam's book (co-written with his Chief of Staff, Hallie Warner), The Founder & The Force Multiplier, has been a #1 best seller on Amazon. Though all these outlets, including the Hergenrother Foundation, Adam focuses on helping people transform their lives.

OUR EMPLOYEE GOALS

We don’t talk about our goals once a year. We talk about them every single day. We dream up big professional and personal goals and then support each other in accomplishing them. Together, we achieve more. 

We have growth opportunities for you.

As Adam Hergenrother Companies continues to grow, we are looking to build relationships with talented individuals who are looking for the next chapter of their life and career.

Our company rests at the intersection of high achievement and work-life integration. We pride ourselves on hiring high performing individuals, because high performers like to hang out with other high performers. Our company is not for everyone. The bar is set high. Our team has strong standards and expectations and so do we. Our team thrives under pressure, isn’t afraid of working long hours, or going above and beyond to get results. 

Many of our current leaders grew within the company to hold the positions they do now. As Zig Ziglar said, “You don’t build a business. You build people, and people build the business.”
