Welcome to the beautiful Hudson Valley and Catskill Mountains. I feel so fortunate to live in this place of incredible beauty, from our Hudson River towns to historic small cities and dotted mountain hamlets.
As a native of Ulster County, after college I went to the Big Apple (and I do love N.Y.C.) to get my feet wet and my business head. But, from my small apartment in Brooklyn I found myself yearning more and more for the space and air of the Catskills. So, in 1986 I came back home. A career in Real Estate was just a natural evolution for me since I was a self-appointed tour-guide and promoter of Ulster County to anyone and everyone I met. I fell in love all over again. I found I could help people make their dreams come true, what a great job I have.
The commitment I made to the first sellers and buyers I worked with has bloomed into a business that has become the most respected name in Real Estate in Ulster County, and as a part of Coldwell Banker, the most respected name in Real Estate worldwide. With 4 offices, over 75 agents, 4 managers and 5 support staff. If you are thinking of listing or selling, contact me so we can discuss your needs and wants. I bet I can make your dreams come true.
