After 20 years as a college-level teacher of theater and communication, I came with my family in 1998 to return to our Hudson Valley roots and to establish a personal business. In late 2006, I decided to try real estate sales. I was lured, in part, by the hot real estate market of that time, but also by the opportunity to have a real impact at an important juncture in people's lives, as several brokers had done for me over the years. The hot market disappeared just at the moment I arrived. But I persevered. I was the top-producing rookie in the region in my first year with Weichert, Realtors of Kingston. Later I became an independent broker serving the Hudson Valley out of my Red Hook home-office and participating in the governance of local MLSs and the Ulster County Board of Realtors. At the end of 2018, I was pleased to join hands with Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty!
And how things have changed! Now in 2022, the real estate market is hot once again, but maybe cooling a bit also. As always, it's bristling with challenges and opportunities. I am grateful to have such a strong office and professional colleagues at my side.
I look forward to helping you navigate the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities of the current real estate market.
Maarten Reilingh (Marty) has represented me on many real estate deals. I have known him and worked with him for thirteen years. He is very knowledgeable, professional and ALWAYS calls back quickly. He has made himself available for showings, so that I could inspect a property and make a decision (sometimes when there isn't much inventory available). I have always felt comfortable working with him in both selling and buying. If he doesn't have information that I want....he finds out for me right away. I would not hesitate recommending Marty for any real estate needs that you have.
Maarten Reilingh (Marty) was our buyers agent and supported us during our year long search for our first home. He’s a wealth of knowledge regarding the area’s market trends and values, inspectors, appraisers, lawyers, brokers and other agents. He worked seamlessly with our mortgage broker which was very important because we are self employed and ultimately purchased a foreclosure, which was a tricky bit of work. Marty is very patient and made himself available, often at short notice, to show us properties, sometimes 3-5 in a day. We enjoyed working with him and are thankful for his exceptional stewardship in buying our home.
Maarten Reilingh (Marty) is knowledgeable, attentive, and thorough. He represented our interests well. His realistic market-informed advice on pricing is the reason we sold our house so quickly. C. Sullivan and family
Maarten Reilingh (Marty) represented us twice this year. Once for a purchase of a house for our daughter and her husband and again for the sale of our condo. Both times he was professional, knowledgeable and quick to respond to any and all questions and issues. He worked tirelessly during the house search and every time we found a house we wanted to see he got us in there almost immediately. He had tremendous patience during these house viewings while we took our time looking at everything we could see. His communication skills are excellent and if he couldn’t answer our calls right away, he would call us back within minutes. Both sales went smoothly and without any issues. Would highly recommend Marty and would definitely use him again.
