Steve Lipkin has worked in Burlington real estate with Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman since 1998, specializing in Multi Family and investment properties.

As a REALTOR®, landlord, developer, and investor, he brings firsthand experience with owning, managing, renovating, and redeveloping rental buildings. Steve leads the Lipkin Audette Team at Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman alongside Carol Audette and Luke Clavelle.

Steve helps Burlington Multi Family buyers and sellers look beyond the curb appeal and financials. He analyzes the income and expenses, tenants and leases, property condition, zoning and permitting, inspections, and local time-of-sale requirements. Working closely with Luke, he advises on pricing, negotiations, and contracts while anticipating potential issues that could impact a property's long-term value. He also helps owners and buyers outside Vermont coordinate the on-site details of a transaction.

His work with developers, investors, local universities, and municipal offices has deepened his understanding of Burlington housing. Service on the Burlington Board of Tax Appeals and Permit Reform Advisory Committee adds perspective on assessments and permitting that impacts salability and value.

As team leader, Steve values informed advice and the experienced people behind it. The team's dedicated staff average more than 25 years of experience, and their established relationships with local attorneys, appraisers, lenders, and town clerks help address questions as they arise. The Lipkin Audette Team has ranked No. 1 in Vermont in multi-family sales volume since 2010 and was No. 1 statewide in overall sales volume in 2025. Steve brings a practical, straightforward approach to every transaction, balancing the property's potential, financial considerations, and the goals of the people involved.
