Zoe Hathorn Washburn had the privilege of attending Open Fields back in the days when Jean Aull had just founded the school. The intimate experience of true hands-on learning from a small group of extraordinarily gifted and caring teachers is something that has always stayed with Zoe. Open Fields was the foundation of her childhood and education and it gifted her the desire to seek knowledge and appreciation from the littlest of things in life - something she carries with her daily in her career in Real Estate. For Zoe, Real Estate is more than just a job, it is a true passion. Her clients are her number one priority, and she adores helping people connect with a home they love. She has been a top agent at Snyder Donegan, the leading boutique non-franchise firm in the Hanover-Woodstock Upper Valley area, for over 10 years, earning a reputation for exceptional service, care, and effectiveness. Please contact her for any of your Upper Valley real estate needs, big or small.
