Although real estate industry acumen, effective communication, and knowledge of the market are essential to my success as a real estate agent, I see my work, at its core, as service. Whether buying or selling, my goal is to make sure you are heard and advocated for, and, at the same time, have the resources and information that will enable you to make solid decisions you feel good about. This includes advocating for your interests as well as asking questions, anticipating potential pitfalls or challenges, thinking creatively, and simply helping out. I have a down to earth demeanor and strive for transparent, satisfying results for all parties, in every real estate transaction. It’s especially gratifying to be able to put to good use lifelong interests in architecture, design, home improvement, gardening, city planning, and geography in the service of my clients. I also draw on an extensive background in human services work and teaching in innovative public schools and the creativity, tenacity, and care this work requires. A surprising bonus of being a real estate agent has been the community of people I become intertwined with, both old and new clients and their loved ones, and I feel privileged to share in this important step in people’s lives.
A little about me:
I’m also an educator, avid gardener, creative maker and handy person, among other things. I love stories and how houses carry the lives of those who built and lived in them. I have lived in rural, suburban and urban areas growing up and in multiple cities in the US, as well as Toronto and Berlin. I have always been equally drawn to life in both urban and rural areas and I feel lucky to have found my home here in the Hudson Valley, in perfect proximity between vibrant cities and the rocky crags, forests, and rolling hills of the Northeast.
Francesca Noble and Emily Kragness were key in the sale of my property. Their knowledge of the market, exemplary communication, patience and all around loveliness made what could have been a complicated transaction into a smooth sale.
Loved working with Emily Kragness! We were first time home buyers and she took her time with us explaining all of the processes. She was super responsive, generous with her time, and showed us places in many areas she thought we’d enjoy. Highly recommend working with her.
Emily Kragness spent an inordinate amount of time patiently guiding us through the process of buying our first home (from square one—we knew nothing!). She is highly knowledgeable, personable, insightful, and all around a pleasure to work with. She represented us very well and we ended up buying our dream home. Do yourself a favor and work with her!
We met Emily Kragness when we looked at one of her rental properties. We didn't end up renting her house, but she gave us her card and mentioned that she was a real estate agent. We had been working with an agent, but we were not happy with him, so when the time came to look at more houses we reached out to Emily. And we are very happy that we did!
Emily was very knowledgeable about the real estate market, especially in the upstate area where we were looking. I trusted her knowledge of pricing and of the market as a whole. She kept in touch with us and responded immediately if we had a question or if there were updates on the houses we wanted to view. When we put in offers, she kept us abreast of all correspondence from the seller's agent. And when we finally purchased our house, she was attentive and helpful at all times.
Overall, Emily is an amazing real estate agent. She walks into a house and immediately goes to areas that might be a problem. She is friendly and energetic, and her knowledge of architecture is impressive. She knows about homeowning, and she is able to view a house as if she were going to live in it. She made suggestions to us about our house, and we hear the same suggestions from inspectors and contractors with twice as much experience in the business.
We heartily encourage anyone looking for a home to use Emily. She is a kind and caring person with a ton of knowledge, common sense, and terrific people skills. We have already recommended Emily to our friends who are working with her now.
Thank you, Coldwell Banker, and thank you Emily!
Emily Kragness is an aficionado of the area, and knows all of the awesome properties for your budget. She is calm and patient with excellent communication skills. She is reliable and available for all random questions and checkins - and despite the lengthy process times during COVID she kept the ball rolling on our purchase in Kingston. We loved working with Emily and highly recommend her!
Emily Kragness is smart, responsible, and great to hang out with on those long days visiting houses. We'll genuinely miss our Saturdays with her! She's the most fantastic realtor we could have imagined.
Emily Kragness was great! She definitely made us felt heard and considered our wants/needs throughout the process. She shared her insights when appropriate and never tried to steamroll us (which has been our experience with a lot of other realtors).
As first time home buyers, Emily Kragness was a helpful and personable companion through the often overwhelming house-hunting process. She listened carefully to our needs and helped us hone our vision for the ideal property through asking good questions, suggesting potential fits and bringing her keen eye for details to viewings. After seeing 20+ homes and making an offer, she was extremely responsive to our many questions as well as tackling paperwork and prompt problem solving. She is also just a lovely person! Would highly recommend her to just about anyone but especially first time home buyers.
Emily Kragness was *the* perfect agent for our needs. As two first-time home buyers, we couldn’t have been in better hands. She did a wonderful job pairing us with the perfect detail-orientated inspectors for a quirky 110-year-old new home. Emily went above and beyond making sure we had all the information we needed to feel great about our purchase through a long and complicated process. Delightful, kind, down-to-earth, and savvy – what a gem!
Emily Kragness was a joy to work with. Patient with these first time buyers, flexible around the schedule of a one year old, and extremely thoughtful about health and safety as we were living with elders at the time. Emily talked us through every aspect of the million questions we had from septic tanks to original floorboards and was extremely responsive, kind and funny throughout. Her deep bench of knowledge (and willingness to find out) along with her meticulous behind the scenes work made everything easy- we just had to show up and make a few decisions! We will probably never know the million and one things she did for us. She clearly loves here work, and nothing is too much trouble to get you the dream house you are looking for. The whole process was great- from looking at areas, finding and looking at houses, gently advice offered only at our request and nuanced negotiation and people skills with sellers agents. I would have no hesitation in recommending Emily Kragness to anyone who is looking to buy a house. She puts the 'real' in realtor and if you can get on her books you'll be a lucky duck.
Emily Kragness was very responsive, and also considerate of our process. I have a lot of respect for her both as a realtor and a human being.
Emily Kragness was always helpful and responsive to our questions and concerns and although our journey was difficult in terms of the aggressive market, she was tireless in helping us find the perfect home in a perfect location. We would recommend her enthusiastically.
We absolutely adore Emily Kragness. She was like our guardian angel during the entire home buying process. This was our first house, so we needed all the help we could get. Emily is awesome! Very knowledgeable, thoughtful, responsive, and helpful in every way. We can't recommend her enough.
Emily Kragness is personable and knowledgeable about the local market. As our interests in the Hudson Valley shifted from more rural to a little more urban, Emily's style remained adaptable and agile. She was very responsive to questions and gave her opinion about properties only when we asked for a deeper perspective, and then was forthright about the value of homes and their potential for our plans. We've already recommended her to friends!
Wow I went through a whole lot with Emily Kragness and she was nothing short of solid, professional, kind and went above and beyond to help me find my home. Emily helped me find another home earlier in the year (after months of looking) where the buyer pulled out suddenly and relisted the home for $50k more in a hot market in the height of the pandemic. We had to start all over again in an extremely competitive market with new rules and hygiene and germs to worry about. Emily went extremely above and beyond by previewing homes for me when I couldn’t make the drive to upstate NY and showing me the homes via video chat. The home I eventually bought was shown to me in that way and she got her friend to actually show it to me in person when our schedules didn’t match up. Emily has been by my side for almost a year in finding a home that suited me! I constantly peppered her with a ton of questions since it was my first house purchase and she always got back to me and helped the process relatively painless and easy! And she’s also very positive attitude and very honest, which is hard to find in a person let alone an agent. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!!
Emily Kragness was great. Totally game for collaboration and "hard" work that was made easy by working with Emily.
Emily Kragness was a joy to work with. She was personable and had our best interest in mind and gave us great guidance while always maintaining a calm and professional demeanor. We were impressed with how quickly she helped us find our dream home and have already recommended her to friends.
