This IS my full-time profession; I work around the clock to get the deal done right. As a professional, I am reliable. My duty and philosophy is to use open communication with my clients to ensure that they are receiving the best possible care through their entire real estate experience.
I love Woodstock and the Hudson Valley. I built my own home and have witnessed first-hand the revitalization and influx of energy the region is experiencing. 5 years ago I decided to put my past 20 years of building and renovating properties to good use and earned my real estate license. When it comes to buying and selling, you need someone with local knowledge, and that’s me. I have lived here all of my life, graduating from The Culinary Institute and Bard College, with the exception of a short stint in NYC while I was in Art School.
I have a working knowledge of the ins and outs of structural integrity and building. I also keep up with new green building practices. I will carefully and honestly walk you through all steps of the process. If you need anything done, I know a guy. Let me be your local guide. Local works for everyone.
I was fortunate to work with Benjamin Kirby Armento on the purchase of my home upstate. His deep knowledge of houses gave me confidence that I was investing in a quality property. Ben is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely pleasant to work with, which made the entire process a great experience. Everyone involved, from inspectors and attorneys to other agents, spoke highly of him. His strong local connections and professionalism helped ensure that the final steps leading up to closing went seamlessly. I HIGHLY recommend Ben to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area.
Benjamin Armento is the best! Knowledgeable and personable and a great advocate.
Benjamin Kirby Armento has been an excellent asset to our buying our home in Shokan.
Benjamin Armento was very helpful. He knows so much about the area and home improvement and was able to help us see the potential in the different places we viewed.
Full disclosure: Ben and I have been friends for over 40 years. That said, I wouldn’t work with him nor refer him to others based on that alone. I have a close family member that is a contractor, but I don’t use him nor recommend him. Not only has Ben and my friendship continued, our working relationship has grown over the years due to his knowledge, honesty, and his unique style that makes everyone feel at ease.
