A big shout out to this woman, Christine Nielson , who has tirelessly worked with us for the past year and a half as we searched for the perfect property. Always of good humor and with an innate knack of knowing what might appeal to us, seemingly unruffled by our myriad indecisions and quirky list of must-haves. There's simply no one better out there.

John Summerford is a wonderful real estate agent. He patient, forthright/honest, responsive and willing to honor the restrictions of the buyer (location, price, "must haves" etc...). I believe these are valuable skills that are increasingly hard to find. He has a great sense of humor and offers valuable insights into the real estate process.

We worked with Leslie Foti on the purchase of our first home in Sullivan County and she was a dream to work with from start to finish. She was always on top of everything, was super responsive, and had our best interest at heart. She put us at ease when necessary and made sure everything went as smooth as possible. We'd recommend her without reservation!

SELLER: Antonio Parrotta at Coldwell Banker Village Green recently assisted with the listing and sale of my home in Kerhonkson. He suggested a few thoughtful and cost effective updates to the home prior to listing and took excellent photos which represented the attributes of the home well. He and his team were very supportive throughout the process. Tony’s knowledge and passion for the Hudson Valley is a valuable asset to any prospective buyer or seller.
- Jonathan Schoonmaker
Aysa Elisabeth Morehead works extraordinarily hard and is incredibly pleasant, patient, and responsive. Due to my and my wife's specific tastes, it took us a while to find the right home, but Aysa was patient and continued to work with us through the entire process.

Laura Warren and Victoria Stent (The Great Brits) have been such a pleasure to work with and we feel so grateful to have had them as our agents! Our family (me, my husband, and two little ones) are moving upstate from Long Island, and though finding a new home from afar can be a challenging task, Vicki and Laura have gone above and beyond to help us find the perfect place, get to know the community, and ease our transition. We are grateful for all the times that they visited properties on our behalf, answered countless questions, and put the time and thoughtful energy into understanding who we are and what our family needed. They put a lot of love into their work and it shows! Vicki and Laura are professional, efficient and have been a source of great support to our family. We highly recommend them as your agents!

My old realtor moved away, and I took a chance on Allison Morelle. And I’m glad I did. Allison helped us with a home purchase and was always pleasant and cheerful, and responded to all of my correspondence immediately. If I had a question she answered it, or found an answer without fail, and in a hurry!! She was always available for viewings, and it was more than obvious she did her homework on the properties. I fully plan to use Allison again for any of my realty needs, and have already recommended her highly to someone, and will continue to do so for friends and relatives. I can’t say enough good - and have absolutely no negatives to report - she’s a winner!
- Shawn Gallagher
Laura Warren and Victoria Stent (The Great Brits) were so wonderful and made the process of selling our home much less stressful for us. This was a difficult decision, at a difficult time for us. We were fortunate to have them and have the sale go through so timely. We would definitely recommend them to anyone who may be looking to buy or sell.
- Sue & Marcel L
Jacki [Jacqueline Coyle] was caring and responsive. When times were difficult she was supportive and helpful.
- Charles & Diana Krueger
We were thrilled the the video presentation of our home. Lisa Jaeger also found us a great house to rent with our family.
- William and Kelly Martin
Mercedes Ross immediately made me feel as though my process of finding a home truly mattered, and she took the project seriously right away. From the first phone call, I felt cared for and supported and like I was in very good hands. AND . . . she helped me land my dream home! As if that wasn't enough, she was also completely present and helpful for logistical complications that arose around closing and she saved the day. She's a wonderful realtor and person. Choose her and don't look back!
- Annalise Oatman
After more than a year of serious real estate searching for our complicated mixed-use residential/commercial business model, we finally got connected with Angela Lanuto and Allison Morelle . We worked with several realtors in Vermont, Western Mass and the Hudson Valley, and no one was as pleasurable to work with, or as expertly knowledgeable as the Angela Lanuto Team. We've already referred several friends to work with them. 10/10!
- Raphael Sacks
Her professional advice in facilitating our transaction was outstanding. We recommend Lisa Jaeger for her integrity, judgement and professionalism.
- Patricia McGivney
Amy Lonas is something else. She's excellent at what she does and here is what surprised me: I really like and trust her. I never imagined I would feel this way about a real estate agent, but I do with Amy. She helped my partner and I find OUR home, and we can't imagine any other home being more fitting for us. Throughout the process, she understood what we were looking for, she made us feel comfortable, she was fun, patient, and had the perfect balance of giving us our space and offering us her insight. Plus, she facilitated the transaction going smoothly and quickly. Moving from CA was difficult but Amy helped to make it as easy as someone in her position could. She actually cares and wants to be helpful. Amy Lonas is the way to go.

The “Great Brits Team” are the best! After a previous bad experience with another realtor, we felt quickly comfortable and reassured with Victoria Stent and Laura Warren’s kindness and professionalism. Throughout our home search (which lasted for 18 months), they both showed a fantastic knowledge of the market and great negotiation skills to close deals. They’ve also been very patient and supportive with us, we never felt pushed or pressured in any way. If you are looking for a home in the Catskills area, they are the ones who’ll find it for you!
- Elodie & Antoine R
Amy Owens is wonderful to work with. She's knowledgeable, patient, proactive, and gave us truly helpful advice. We'd work with her again in a heartbeat.
- Jeanne & Andrew Sachs
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.
- Zillow User: alexmarkbayer
Sharon Knudsen made our homebuying experience a pleasure. She should be commended for her expertise and professionalism. Sharon was extremely knowledgeable about the area. We cannot say enough kind words for her.
- James & Jody Murphy
Regina Tortorella [and Aaron Perer] helped us with an expedited sale while achieving greater than asking price. She and her team must be the best realtors I have ever dealt with. We strongly recommend Regina because of her thorough knowledge of the local market and setting the price right whether you are selling or buying.
- M R
Sangi , I can’t begin to express my gratitude for your help in selling my parent’s house. My mother made a wonderful choice in you as her realtor. You were kind and generous to her. I also want to thank you for your willingness to go way beyond a realtor’s job description in helping me clean out my father’s shed. Everything that you did for my family is greatly appreciated. Thanks for everything. I want you to know how much I appreciated your work and dedication to selling the NY house.
- Karen
All our experiences (with Eric) were very positive from start to finish. Eric Amaral was extremely professional and knowledgeable about the market and the area, and answered all questions patiently, regardless of how irrelevant they may have seemed. As a first-time homebuyer, I found the whole experience ultimately painless because of Eric. It was a complicated and contentious process because of the estate's bankruptcy and Eric was able to keepthe focus on the important issues and guide me through them patiently and with much needed humor. He was always cheerful and upbeat, no matter the circumstances. I cannot speak highly enough of Eric, who is aboviously a tremendous asset to CBVGR. I hope I never move again, but if I have to, Eric is the person I would unhesitatingly turn to first.
- Peter & Geraldine Prideaux
Amy Lonas was excellent in introducing us to the Ulster County market. We didn't know the area when we began our search. Amy worked with the lender and seller to make the closing extremely smooth.
- Andrew & Abigail Cohen
Bruce Stalnaker did a great job. He wasn't pushy yet he's very knowledgeable during the process. He was the perfect realtor for us for this transaction. Bruce was patient with us and did a lot of digging on information to help with the buying process A++!
- Brian Crago
Lisa Jaeger was informative and helpful throughout.
- James Ward
[Lisa Jaeger] was helpful and accommodating as well as an excellent source of information as it related to the sale of my home. I relied on her advice as she guided me through the process. I might she has good relations with the parties concerned and/or their representatives. Her rapport with the attorneys helped along the process. I recommend her strongly.
- Jonathan Wilner
I highly recommend Leslie Foti as the best agent I have ever worked with. She is not only excellent professional but aslo exceptional person. We were looking for the vacation place in Catskill. She listens to our needs and respected our wish-list. Leslie presented many interesting listing and supported us in choosing the right place. We could always rely on her expertise and support. She help us gather information on the place and did her magic to locate some valid papers. What my husband and I valued the most was her responsiveness. She promptly responded to our every email and every request. She made herself available 24/7.

Ellen Osgood The Great! Wonderful, knowledgeable, helpful, energetic, etc. As I started my positive adjective list I couldn't say nicer things about Ellen, her professioanlism, her vast knowledge of everything down to details so minute. She remained helpful and positive the entire time we worked together and I'd like to think we became friends in the process! She's a terrific force and Village Green Realty is lucky to have her. Thank you for everything Ellen!!
- Andrea Kurzman & David McNamara
We cannot say enough good things about Dawn Passante. We found her online after having a negative experience with our previous realtor. We looked at a lot of properties as we were looking for something special! Dawn was absolutely patient and diligent in her interactions with us, and went out of her way to ensure timely and accurate communication when we found our home. Our purchase went through quickly and efficiently and that was in part from Dawn's hard work! We will absolutely recommend her to our friends and family if they are in need of a fantastic realtor!
Thank you Dawn for all your hard work in helping us find our home.
- Myah Lannis and Justin Johnson
Laurie Ylvisaker was our real estate agent for a house purchased and then a house sold. We relied upon her knowledge and expertise in all things pertaining to the local area, negotiating prices, and follow-through on all aspects of the process. She was "there" for us in every possible way: to clarify what we were looking for, viewing our options and then gathering whatever information was needed in order to make all decisions. Most of all, we felt supported in every step of the process, with her responsiveness to all of our concerns and her caring for us as people. I can't say enough good things about Laurie; she is warm, understanding and really "listens."

[Jacqueline Coyle]: Excellent, very responsive, and empathetic
- Lea Moffett-Torres
This home purchase was complicated – the property had some “hair” and we needed advice and guidance. Christine Nielson gave us great advice and helped calm our nerves through the process. We got to a great outcome and couldn’t have done it without her. Plus, my kids love her!
- James Lindsey
With regard to my recent purchase of a home, Mary McKinney worked tirelessly to attend to every detail of concern in the transaction process. She was always a delight to meet with and always had the answers we sought.
- Warren & Carol
SELLER: I would actively recommend Antonio Parrotta as anyone's choice in a realtor. His personality is outgoing, sunny, and friendly - and he is readily available to his sellers and buyers alike. Tony is very responsive to any contact whether it's by phone or text , which as you may well guess is a very important part of the sales/buying process! His outgoing nature makes him an asset in the sale of any home or property. Tony's innate design sense and vision for the property he is showing or selling is a huge bonus that he readily shares with potential buyers. And let's not forget about his enthusiasm, that's my favorite! When my home suffered an insurance tragedy, he was very helpful and supportive. In fact, he sold the home for me in the midst of all the confusion, chaos and rubble! In summation, I recommend Tony to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Ulster County area. He turned my heart-break into treasure. Thank you, Tony.
- Cindy Graham
Ellen Osgood was a pleasure to work with. She is very helpful, beyond thorough, kind, pleasant and a hard worker who gets results. She gets 5 stars in my book!!!!
- Ann F.
Worked with Victoria Stent and Laura Warren (aka The Great Brits) on two transactions in Woodstock and everything went exactly as I hoped it would. They were very communicative and helpful in all steps of the process, especially when several challenges popped up. They had lots of good recommendations on people to work with in the area for various tasks. They seemed to know everything and everybody! In all, extremely professional. Highly recommended.
- Ian Garrick-Bethell
From the very first meeting, we were confident that John Summerford would be able to help us sell our home-- he was both pragmatic and reassuring. We also can't overstate John's ability to capture our home visually. He took stunning photos/video which made our home stand out. In addition, John was a consummate professional in dealing with our complicated out-of-state negotiations. We highly recommend him!
- Anonymous
Eric Amaral is a genuine real estate professional, and I trust him completely in each of the key areas of importance. From our initial meeting, on through past the closing, Eric demonstrated a deep understanding of excellent customer service. First, the marketing of my property was perfection: Fabulous photos, professional videos, and all manner of website listings and print ads. Second, Eric's sales skills during our contract period were top-notch. He knows just what to say, when to say it, and why! Third, Eric's a real pleasure to work with. He's equal parts honest, respectful, great listener, and an invaluable, expert contributor. I just can't imagine hiring anyone else in the future, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell land or property in the Hudson Valley - or elsewhere for that matter! Thank you, Eric - for everything that you do so well.

[Doina Dewell]: She responded to all my inquiries & emails & text. Very nice, polite and helpful
- Kenneth & Kristine Warren
Angela Lanuto helped us buy a Catskills getaway and did an excellent job. We were house-buying rookies and she patiently guided us through and explained each step of the process, from the basics to finally closing the deal. She was honest, knowledgeable, very responsive, and friendly. Highly recommended.
- Cameron Smith
Angela Lanuto runs a tight ship and, unlike most realtors that I've dealt with, is super responsive. She listened to our wants and needs and was an active partner to us helping to find us more than we knew that we wanted! I suggest that anyone looking to buy upstate whether for the first time or second or third, she truly makes the process digestible and follows up on all sides to make sure that things continue to progress.
- Zillow User: benjaminkp
Always kept me in the loop when a showing was scheduled and afterward with buyers' feedback. Went above and beyond to help- e.g. made a trip to the home to provide access to the oil company to take final oil level reading for closing when otherwise access was not possible cause I could not be there. Sharon Knudsen has a very positive and personable attitude making it easy to work with her during a stressful time like selling a home. She also had a good grasp of the market and provided helpful analysis of comparable sales
- Michael Chudyk
Victoria Stent and Laura Warren , the Great Brits, were unbelievably responsive, patient with us first-time homebuyers, willing to answer any question and drive hours to give us video tours of properties we couldn't see in person. Definitely the ones to have in your corner!
- Kim Fisher
Selling a home is both an emotional and financial adventure. It helps to have someone who has both expertise and enthusiasm to guide you in the process. Leslie Foti is that someone. She has a keen sense of the market and employs a variety of creative ways to reach buyers. However what is most impressive about Leslie is her passion for architectural detail. She loved every aspect of my home and she shared that love with everyone who came to view it. I am sure it was her passion and perseverance that facilitate a very easy process. I cannot say enough about Leslie’s skills. She is a real gem.

Jacki [Jacqueline Coyle] was very understanding & helpful through the entire sale
- Connie Coleman
I have worked with many realtors over the years and Amy Crossfield was one of the best. When we first started looking she asked insightful questions that helped us focus. We paused our search for awhile at one point, and she was patient and picked up as soon as we were ready to restart the process. She has a astute sense of the market, does her homework, and made multiple arrangements in this complicated era of Covid. She was encouraging when disappointments arose and cautioning, but not overbearing when we seemed excited about something that might have issues. A pleasure to work with and we are immensely satisfied with our new home.
- Stuart Parker
Sharon Knudsen is knowledgeable in the local market as well as broader real estate trends. She provides excellent advisory services and is super responsive.
- Yana Beranek
Amy Owens went above and beyond to help me both sell a home and my my current home. She is knowledgeable and professional. She is always on top of the next step. Amy is one of those people -- someone you can feel totally comfortable with because you know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that she has your best interests in mind and she is working for you with all she's got. She is phenomenal at her job and I would recommend her highly.
- Jennifer Montalbano
Erin Patricia Loughran worked with us to purchase a home in 2018. I cannot recommend her enough! My husband and I had a trying time finding a home that was the right fit for us and she was exceedingly patient and supportive during the months we searched! You would be hard pressed to find another real estate agent that is as knowledgeable and dedicated as Erin.
- patternofone
Jacki [Jacqueline Coyle] did a great job, communicated well and I was very satisfied.
- Frank Adamo
Lisa Jaeger is extremely knowledgable and well prepared to get the most out of a listing. Lisa was great from start to finish.

Sara was proactive and kept the process moving forward swiftly without needing urging from me. Her timely communication was appreciated.
- Sean Robinson
John Summerford is awesome!!!!! We had a wonderful experience working with him and will definitely be recommending him to or friends/ family as well as keeping in contact for any other real estate related needs. (He's) responsive, very patient, always willing to help and explain what I needed as it was my first time buying a home. Very happy :)

Mercedes Ross deserves an award for her performance as our agent. She provides top notch service from A-Z. She was a monumental help in the whole process & she was always reachable by phone/text. A delight to work with. My favorite selling/buying experience of all time.
- Tara Pace
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!
- Emily AllenPaine
Amy Crossfield contacted me after my house was pulled off the market for repairs and I could not be happier that she did. Once the repairs were complete Amy went above and beyond to help me sell my property while I was living 3 hours away. She handled issues I could not be there to take care of. Her knowledge of the area allowed her to help me set a realistic price that resulted in a offer within days. I would use her again without a doubt.
- Zillow User: justinpuffer81
Karen Sullivan was very personable and I enjoyed working with her - both as a buyer and then as a seller. I highly recommend her! Her knowledge about the market and her suggestions about selling was very helpful.

- Larry & Susan Dwyer
[Mary McKinney]: very personable, reliable, thorough, and sweet.
- Wendy & Gary Kaplan
Hiring Laura Warren and Victoria Stent was a great choice. Laura helped us from start to finish, but knowing if she wasn’t available then Vicki would be there to help us was reassuring. We were first time home buyers with a modest budget. Laura made us feel comfortable and she was attentive to our needs. She is professional but relaxed and very knowledgeable about the market. She helped us find the perfect home and connected us to other great people in the Hudson Valley community.
- Cathy Nakano
I tried a couple of other real estate agents with no response. Within weeks Sheila Word & Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty had my house showing. This was a multi-unit house, a hard sell. but you guys found a perfect buyer.
- Michael Pennello
Dawn Passante was excellent! She helped me navigate all the "bumps in the road" we hit and kept me on the right track!
- Janet Valk
Laurie Ylvisaker is the best realtor I have worked with. Highly knowledgeable of this area, totally understands the importance of supporting both the buyer and the seller. But above all else she is intelligent, smart, wants you to make the choice that is right for you, and loves life. She is a joy to work with.
- Lizzie Vann
Dawn Passante explained the comps system, knew and explained the state of the real estate market in our area and was confident that our home was ready for sale. We felt very comfortable with Dawn and listed right away. She kept us informed every step of the way.
- Mary Daggett
Made an appointment to see a property and Eric Lein was so amazing. I called him on a holiday weekend not realizing it was a holiday weekend and he called me back, we knew then we were sticking with him. He is in it to make people happy, again an amazing man!! Like I said he is all around an amazing person, he was on it with us, we didn't think we would find a place in our price range and he did the impossible, we are truly grateful, again thank you Eric!
- Carol Weil
Jacki [Jacqueline Coyle] went above and beyond to show my property. I'm not sure how many realtors would do what she did. Jacki has sold 2 of my family's properties quickly and professionally.
- Lynn Byrne
Excellent! Was totally informed all the time, would highly recommend Sharon Knudsen.
- Steve Meeker
I have known Laurie Ylvisaker for several years, she has become a friend and a guiding forces when it comes to knowing what is happening in this area culturally and otherwise. I picked her for my agent because she is intelligent in her approach and takes the time to know what she is really talking about.
- Charlotte Time
Leslie Foti is amazing. From start to finish she understood what I was looking for as an investor and helped me to find the needle in the haystack. What I appreciate most about her is her access to resources. Not only did she help me find the perfect investment property but she connected me reliable local contractors that could help me do the work. She regularly checked in and was there to help move the process forward when unforeseen delays popped up (issues with survey, etc.). She was reassuring, professional and helped me to close a really good deal in a tight market. I will use her again for sure and have already recommended her to several of my friends. I am lucky to have found her!

Aysa Elizabeth Morehead is great. We’ve closed 4 deals with her. It was like working with a family member, based on our relationship with her and the level of trust we had in her. She was ALWAYS available. She works hard and values her clients.
- Michael O'Rourke
Sheila Word was very diligent with the whole process. She kept on top of the inspection and appraisal since I was not local to Windham.
- Franca DiPaolo
Anne Hilton Purvis was extremely helpful and professional throughout the entire process. Kept me informed every step of the way and was excellent with accommodating my crazy schedule being out of state. Look forward to hopefully working with her again in the future. Professionalism aside she is a pleasure to be around and a breathe of fresh air. Thank you Hilton!!
- Richard Rabender
Angela Lanuto and Allison Morelle were excellent. They were honest, made us feel supported throughout our home buying process and were instrumental in helping us find our amazing new home. They answered all of our (many) questions quickly and thoroughly, and they were easygoing and a true pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them!
- Simon Chiew & Kevin Wanzor
Nadine Bechle was very proactive and real as to what to expect. She offered many suggestions which assisted us in many ways. She is a benefit to your team.
- Joe and Dana Carfi
Francesca Noble led me through the process one step at time. She helped make the process as stress free as possible.
- White Trust
Allison Morelle was the absolute greatest part of our experience as first-time home buyers. From the moment we found her online, we knew we were in great hands and she continued to deliver beyond our expectations every step of the way. As freelancers, my husband and I anticipated buying during a pandemic would be an uphill battle and boy were we right. Any time we ran into a hiccup (and there were plenty) Allison was always there to not only lend emotional support, but to quickly and efficiently solve the problem. Even after we closed, she’s always there with answers and to share in the excitement as we start getting settled in our new home. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.
- Matthew Murphy
John Lenahan is superb. He's friendly and real, and totally unflappable. He was systematic in sending us listings, and really listened to us and honed his search. When, in the last hour, We pivoted on our chosen listing and opted for another, we displayed utmost patience. John went the extra mile to help us find documents, research city codes and formulate appropriate questions for the seller. I don't think he dropped a single ball in the whole process. Can't imagine better.
- Michael Goldman
My wife and I were interested in relocating and began discussions with another realtor based in Hudson. Coincidentally, this realtor was tasked with getting us information on a piece of land we had interest in. After 4 days the realtor didn't get back to us so we called the listing agent, Mercedes Ross. She was very knowledgeable and gave us all the info we needed and more. Afterwards, we hired her as our realtor to find us our forever home in the Catskills. I will recommend her to anyone that wants a professional, responsive and knowledgeable realtor!
- Mark Taubman & Michelle Del Valle
Joel Craig is a kind and warm gentleman who gives generously of his talents and time!
- Richard Griner
Bernard Babilonia was professional and was very knowledgeable about the market He answered all our questions and concerns. He got us the best price for the house. Excellent. Great Realtor. He was a great big help not only selling my MIL house but when we needed him to check on the house he was there. We live in PA and he made the process very easy.

The Great Brits team (Laura Warren and Victoria Stent ) are just that! Great! Very knowledgeable and informed about the market and unsurpassed follow through. We will highly recommend them to neighbors and friends.
- Gigi Loizzo
John Summerford made our experience stress-free. We truly felt at ease due to his proactive approach, diligence, and knowledge. We are first-time home buyers who had been looking for about a year, and were feeling overwhelmed and a little jaded until we were connected with John. A huge thanks!!!

Regina Tortorella took the work out of my hunt to find a second home in the Catskills. For months, I looked at a number of homes that other brokers had found for me. Nothing was quite right. I always felt the brokers weren’t listening to me. I wanted a place off the main road. Somehow all the houses I saw were on or close to the main road. I wanted a place I could use year-round, but most brokers showed me seasonal places. Then I met Regina. She listened to what I wanted: A cabin in the woods, off the main road on a decent sized lot. She sat me down, showed me all the listings in the area in my price range and together we made a list of the places we felt fit the bill. A week later I had an accepted offer on the perfect place. My cabin in the woods on a dead end road. I always felt the process should be simple, and by listening to what I wanted she made it simple. Regina was by my side at every step, from the hunt to the house inspection and even the closing. I hope you find her too, it will make your house hunt a pleasure.

Doina Dewell was the realtor listing the property. She was very responsive and let me know everything that was happening and also provided a lot of information. She was great!
- Astrid VanSteen
Mercedes Ross always responded immediately, which I appreciated. Big things were needed for the house to sell (new oil tank, for example), and Mercedes inspired confidence in us that the work would be done and all would be well. We followed her advice about the listing price, which she said would “rock” and it did. George Lee was a very big help with finding a painter and dealing with building inspections. It was great to work with them. They always had our backs.

Joanne Galluscio was a pleasure to work with. She was patient, knowledgeable, she listened and understood what we were looking for. She never wasted our time. She patiently stuck with us through a fairly long and difficult purchase, she never got frustrated and was positive and led us to find practical solutions to get the deal closed. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

- Simon Chiew & Kevin Wanzor
Laura Warren and Victoria Stent (The Great Brits Team) were fantastic from start to finish. I was completely new to the process, and they helped at every step along the way. They were very knowledgeable and communicative throughout. Laura and Vicki are simply a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend them.

Selling my house initially felt like a very daunting, overwhelming process but working with Megan Forziati made the experience very smooth and stress free. As soon as I met Megan, I felt very confident with her skill set and level of expertise. Megan worked tirelessly to stage our home before listing it and even assisted with cleaning. She always went above and beyond and consistently communicated with us throughout the process as well as provided support and sage advice when I felt overwhelmed and uncertain.
It was such a pleasure working with Megan and shortly after the sale, she assisted a family member with purchasing a home. Megan is extremely knowledgeable, motivated and trustworthy. I am very grateful that I had her to assist me with this process and would work with her again in the future.

In preparation for putting our house on the market, we researched the success of the local real estate agents and chose to interview three of the top selling agents. Amy Lonas was clearly a front runner. She was extremely effective in advising us how to show the house and what we could expect. She recommended an asking price that would attract the most buyers and was right on target. We had five offers as soon as it was listed, three at full price. Amy did not waste a minute. She loved the house and was great at extolling its virtues. She knew exactly how to show it. Amy was so smart about everything. She is practical, extremely knowledgeable about the market, and cool. She doesn't waste words, and every word is wise. She was always available to us if we had questions and always returned calls and texts promptly. We loved working with Amy and are grateful to her for her efforts on our behalf. We valued her as our agent and now a friend.

What a dynamic and engaging professional! Angela Lanuto is knowledgeable, personable, attuned to her clients’ preferences and invested in serving their best interests. I have a historic home and the property possesses a number of distinctive characteristics. She has been diligent in her efforts to ensure all potential buyers are qualified and their needs well matched to its features. She has recently begun collaborating with a new broker and I am so pleased with her performance and confident of her abilities, that I am transferring my listing in order to keep her as my agent. She's a keeper!

They [Angela Lanuto & Allison Morelle ] were excellent. It was a very stressful time for me and my family but Angela really made the home selling part so easy and stress free. I still can’t believe it! She’s really amazing. My experience was a pleasure from start to finish I would recommend them to anyone selling home. I have sold homes before and this was by far the quickest, easiest and least stressful.

John Summerford is extremely kind and thorough. He has expanded our search beyond our initial radius and has always balanced his comments with both the positives and drawbacks of every property we have considered - which is very important to us.

I can't say enough great things about John Summerford ! I found him through a friend who was very happy with his search for her and her husband's home and I was not disappointed. Rather, I was very impressed! He stuck with me through a long search process. This was my first home purchase and he was extremely informative and provided me with an overview of the entire process at the beginning so that I understood fully what buying a home entails (from getting a bank pre-approval letter, to signing the mortgage papers). I found him to be very accessible to answer questions, was flexible with times to show the homes, and really got to know me (my likes and dislikes) so that we could narrow down the search process. I would recommend him highly to anybody searching for a home and if I were to look for another home in the future (which I don't anticipate because I LOVE my home) I wouldn't go with anybody else.

Sharon Knudsen was awesome! I've purchased 3 other houses & by far I liked Sharon the most. She worked really hard for me even though I ended up getting the cheapest property.

Doina Dewell was so knowledgeable, polite, & courteous. She was with us every step of the process. Even after we put a bid in on a house and lost out, she assured us we would find another and we sure did the house of our dreams. Doina is now a part of our family. She was so helpful. Give her a big raise, a hug, and a brand new car. She is the best.

Ellen Osgood is like having a big sister who’s lived in the area for a long time. She’s very thoughtful about what it takes to find the right house for you. She was very focused on our needs and never pressured us or made us feel like it was about her commission. Plus, she was and is incredibly patient. She indulged us in seeing a wide range of properties to help us narrow down our specs. Just loved working with her!

I could never have made it through the experience of both selling and buying a house without Dawn Passante. She was there for me every step of the way and handled everything with such patience and kindness. I ALWAYS knew what was going on during every step of the process without having to initiate a phone call. She made sure I had everything I wanted and needed and was extremely caring and thoughtful along the way. I cannot say enough about Dawn!

Sharon Knudsen realized house had to go through probate. The other real estate agent never disclosed. Sharon felt something was not right.

What cannot be said about Mercedes Ross . Attentive, prompt, resourceful, in-depth local knowledge, flexible, etc. Mercedes helped us purchase our first home in Dutchess County NY. We were extremely clueless about the whole process. She was our guiding light. If she was a tutor, her fee would have been astronomical from all the questions and concerns we piled her way. I kept feeling guilty of bothering her but her response was that was her job, to get me my house. It wasn't a smooth process but would have been disastrous without her guidance. From inspection to legal wranglings she was there for us going the extra yard in many instances. I chose her from the profiles on Zillow's website because she just looked like she loved what she does. Her professionalism is refreshing in a field that sometimes doesn't get the respect it deserves. I highly recommend Mercedes in any real estate endeavors you're planning.

Angela Lanuto and Allison Morelle were incredible realtors for helping me find my dream home in the Hudson Valley. As a first time home-buyer, I knew the process was going to be intense, but my goodness there are so many phases and moving parts! Angela and Allison were amazing guides through the process of searching, making an offer, inspections, negotiations, the contract, and closing. I am so grateful for their clarity, support, and the many resources they shared with me. Great agents to have on your side!

We couldn't have asked for a more top-notch real estate agent than Dawn Passante. She was tremendously experienced and knowledgeable about every aspect of both the sale of our homes that we build on speculation and the purchases of other properties. Her rigorous professionalism helped allay our anxiety up until and even past the close of escrow. She was always available to answer any question no matter how small, and her input was smart and savvy. It’s really clear to us that Dawn not only has vast experience but has translated that into true expertise and superb client service.

Lisa Jaeger was exceptionally attentive to my requirements, displaying remarkable patience throughout the process, especially considering the distance factor of me being 7 hours away from out of state. Going above and beyond, she diligently searched for the ideal property, ensuring that it met every criterion on my must-have list. What stood out was her insightful suggestion to explore homes not initially on my radar, ultimately guiding me in a direction and finalizing on the perfect property.

Aysa Elisabeth Morehead was and continues to be an excellent resource. She is so on top of everything, responds so quickly and is very knowledgeable! If you are looking for an agent that is all of that, you won't be disappointed. If you have been searching for a property any amount of time, you already know most agents don't return your call. Not Aysa! Give her a call today!

Dawn Passante educated us on the temperature of the real estate market and guided us in what to expect in value of the property. She kept us informed on the on the progress and process with perspective buyers. Dawn explained how to analize the offers for the pros and cons, and advantages and disadvantages of the particulars. Every aspect of the process was made simple and easy with her knowledge and expertise of the real estate market and professionalism. I am extremely satisfied with her performance.

John Summerford always had (or obtained) the answers to all our questions. John always gave us direct and accurate answers to our questions. If he didn't know, he would say so and find out the answer rather than feed us false information. He really made the selling process quite simple for us all as we were not familiar and somewhat afraid of the entire process. John always returned our emails and phone calls immediately. (it was like he slept with his phone and computer on next to him...maybe he does) John always dressed and acted in a professional manner.

Thank you both so much for everything!! On a scale on 1-10, you guys are a 20!!"

I highly recommend Hollis Dukler . She was my buyer's agent during my search to find a home for our family. She understood our objectives and goals, and consistently went the extra mile to help me find the most appropriate home. Hollis is dedicated, proactive, responsive, and accessible. Whether you are a buyer or a seller, you will find her expertise in real estate and the local area tremendously helpful, as well as her skills in negotiation. Hollis is a pleasant, professional and dedicated real estate agent. She is also an enjoyable person to spend time with during the transaction process.

Joanne Galluscio is an excellent agent. We were moving across the Country and knew absolutely nothing about the area, resell value, schools, etc. Joanne was a wealth of information. She knew and was able to provide us with information and resources to make the best decision for our family. She is personable, professional, and quick to return calls. She really listens to your needs and with her understanding of the area is able to direct you to homes that match your preference, saving you a lot of time looking at homes that don't fit your needs or style. Definitely a great and smooth experience from start to finish. Can't ask for more than that!

Angela Lanuto is a dream to work with and takes the stress out of buying a home. She is an expert at every aspect of the process: each conversation with her helped us clarify what we were looking for in a home and as a result, we are now living in a home that is exactly what we wanted, which is no small feat in a pandemic market with limited inventory. She also has an excellent network of references, which made everything from the initial bid to closing (and post-closing!) go super smoothly. She is incredibly helpful in her advice with the financial aspects of real estate and as a trusted friend who will help you find not only a house or land, but a place that feels like home.

BUYER: Antonio Parrotta was a tremendous help and resource throughout the home buying process for us! He is a wealth of knowledge from advice on the area, bones of the home, design, and landscaping. Tony has been in the business a long time which instills confidence and calmness which is helpful during the rollercoaster ride of searching for and securing a new home. He made the process fun and was quick to respond with any questions we had.
- Sue Mackey and Kevin Smith
Our company is Woodstock Hempcrete and we are developers of high performance homes built with specialty natural materials imported from Europe. Our program is unique in this area. Antonio Parrotta and Leslie Foti were genuinely enthusiastic and took the time to educate themselves and the buyers on what we are doing and why. In the end we were matched with buyers who appreciate what we are doing and are really right for the project. We are looking forward to working with Tony and Leslie again.

As an elderly couple with a tight budget Angela Lanuto treated our house purchase as if it were a million dollar property. Always present with enthusiasm and helpful suggestions throughout the search, her statement of "finding your perfect house" proved factual. Her attention to every detail and tenacity at negotiating underscores the highest level of Real Estate Sales professionalism. You will not find a more capable, honest and extremely client service oriented individual as Angela. Thank you Angela!

Amy Lonas happened to answer the phone when I saw an ad in the Woodstock area, and that is how my journey with her began.
She is an incredible realtor, and within a few minutes of talking with my husband and me, she had a real sense of who we were and what we were looking for. She knows the market and areas that we looked at so well. We saw a lot of homes with her and came up to Woodstock several times. We decided to expand our search to the New Paltz area and Amy had us on her radar daily. I got emails and calls often with different homes and many times, Amy would preview them first to make sure it was worth our trip up. When she saw our new home listed, she got us in before the realtors open house - thinking that this might be [the one and that] we should see [it] right away.
Though she was booked that weekend, she told us when she had a few hours available, and we made it work. We knew that this house was the one and she then went into full realtor mode. For the next few weeks between binders and contracts, questions, home inspection, and referrals, Amy helped us until our closing; that went beautifully. She kept us informed throughout the entire process.
Amy is a true professional, a wonderful person and [is] so easy to talk and work with. I would totally recommend Amy and I must also add that if I was selling my home, I would absolutely have Amy as my realtor!
- Zillow User: Craft1520
Hire more people like Mary McKinney, she never seemed discouraged. She arrived at my house the day we interviewed, with pictures of my house as it was when I first built it. The only one of three people who did so! I was very impressed with her that day, again. Mary was a very outgoing person, a very good quality for a real estate salesperson.
- Elaine Ferrand
Ellen Osgood went far above and beyond. Per our original agreement, she ably handled cleaning out and sterilizing the entire house and sheds, selling several vehicles and anything of value, donating what could be donated, and having the rest carted away. She worked exceptionally well with me, my attorneys and the buyer’s agent. Great at reading the market, pricing, working around the lockdown... Can’t imagine a Realtor who would do more.
- Richard Brill
Eric Bean is AMAZING!!! We used him to sell our home and he surpassed our expectations. He is professional, to the point and honest. He made the process easy and a rather pleasant experience. He then helped us find a new home and we could not be happier!!! We definitely recommend him.

Being a first time homebuyer is a scary feeling. Having Nadine Bechle helping me was like having a family member in the business who could help guide me through the process.

I know that it would have not gone as smoothly as it did if Nadine was not my Realtor.

Sharon Knudsen went over & above for 19 months to find me the right property. We were bounced around on a few deals but she never gave up. Being in the service business I am somewhat demanding on professionalism when it comes to the person who is going to help me find the right spot for my dream home. She was very knowledgeable on how the system works in green county & also in the town that we purchased in. She gave me all the right people that I would need for the next steps in my endeavor. Thank you.

Amy Owens was our buyer agent for our house upstate in the Catskills. We had a wonderful experience with Amy and connected well from the very beginning. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area, listened well to our expectations and was able to show us various interesting objects in a short timeframe. She was a good partner in the negotiation stage and once we entered the contract stage, we could rely on her to have the latest information and status so we felt well supported throughout the whole process. She was also very helpful with local recommendations after the closure which made it so much easier for us to settle into the neighborhood. I would recommend Amy highly to anyone looking for a home in the Catskills/Hudson Valley region.

I always felt that she had my best interest at heart and I trusted her judgement as I went through the process.

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.

We've already recommended her to friends!

Victoria Stent and Laura Warren were our agents for the purchase of our home in Kingston, NY in September 2023. We began working with them in June, and closed on our house almost exactly 3 months later. We met for coffee; so they could get to know us and find out what we wanted in a home. This saved so much time because it helped them narrow the field of potential homes. Once we found our retirement home, they were excellent guides through the entire sales process, keeping us apprised of every detail, every step of the way. After the purchase, they provided us with lists of contractors to get us started on making the home truly ours. My husband and I would enthusiastically recommend The Great Brits Team to anyone looking for a home in the Hudson Valley!

The Angela Lanuto team was excellent at staying in touch with me during the entire process. Angela herself had an eagle eye and knew exactly what we were looking for. She notified us immediately when the property appeared and helped us put the transaction together quickly. She is a knowledgeable creative problem-solver and very adept at communication - Everything you would want in a real estate agent.

Stephan Cerini is very professional and would always come prepared. He would call, text, and email all the information pertaining to the sale of our house.

You are guaranteed to feel like family and have a smile through the process!

SELLER: Antonio Parrotta was very instrumental in helping me and my wife sell our land in Stone Ridge. His pictures of the landscape were beautifully done. He was able to point out the many positives and the value of the land to prospective buyers. He kept in touch and kept us up to date on the offers on the property.
- Martin Ozdoba
Lisa Jaeger knew her stuff! If asked, could/would comment on everything from sulfer amounts in water to seasonal insects/pests. Completely relaxed and calm- also very nice traits! We would give our highest recommendation without hesitation.
- Paul and Michele Haynes
BUYER: We recently worked with Antonio Parrotta as our agent in the recent purchase of a home in the High Falls area. We were extremely fortunate to have selected him and could not have been happier with our experience.
Importantly, Tony knows the area and the market extremely well, so his advice on how to look at properties and understand the market were essential to our decision to proceed with the home we bought and to our success in having our offer accepted. He has extensive experience with building and landscaping, so his ideas and viewpoint were very helpful in considering potential properties in the first place. His personal connections throughout the area helped us gain insight into fast moving market conditions. The house we decided to bid on already had multiple offers, so his experience and feel for the market helped us act with confidence and submit a winning bid. Without Tony's professional expertise, our "dream house" would have slipped through our fingers.
Then, as we moved into contract and close, Tony continued to support our transaction every step of the way, responding quickly to our inquiries and communicating with the seller’s agent to answer our questions. And once the sale was completed, he proved an invaluable resource. Tony seems to know everybody in the High Falls area, and has provided us with recommendations for numerous service professionals to do the upgrades and maintenance we need now that we are happily in our new home.
In sum, Tony has the perfect combination of talents and qualities for a top-tier real estate agent. As our agent, Tony was aggressive and effective, while at the same time, as a person Tony is easy going, a pleasure to work with, and has a great sense of energy and humor that made the whole process less stressful. In a very competitive and challenging seller's market, we couldn't have asked for a better agent to help us purchase our new home.

I have been involved in real estate my entire career across thousands of transactions and Regina Tortorella is the most on top of her markets of any realtor I ever dealt with.
- Michael Fallacara
Sara Gorman Maliha was extremely helpful from the very beginning of our decision to sell our family home. She gave us honest, no-nonsense advice about how to get our house market ready and provided referrals for the odds and ends that needed to be done prior to listing. Her knowledge of the market, and how our home compared to others in the area, helped us set a good price. We were delighted to have offers right away, and thanks to her consistent work the sale was completed in less than 4 months – listing to closing. She kept us updated and was responsive to all of our questions throughout the process.
- Robert and Jane Jankowski
Stephen Cerini is a gem. He kept me updated throughout the sale. Never had to worry about the home. He always checked it to make sure all was well there after a showing. Wonderful person.
- Debra Lane
Laurie Ylvisaker is truly amazing. She stuck with us patiently as we looked at many houses over several years. Then she helped us through a complex closing. She's so responsive and patient. We can't thank her enough.
- Jeffrey & Jeriann Kolton
I recently purchased a house in Kingston -- with the first half of my house search happening while I lived 350 miles away -- and John Summerford was immensely accommodating, professional, responsive, punctual and KIND throughout the entire process. Not once did I have to wonder how to reach him, if a question was too big or too small ... he made the experience feel like I had a trusted friend at my elbow to help guide me every step of the way.
I connected with him by chance very early in the process, and I will be forever grateful for that stroke of luck! In a business that can sometimes make you wonder who you can trust, I felt really protected and cared for under the "helm" of John. I recommend him wholeheartedly and I hope that he soon becomes one of the premier realtors of the Hudson Valley. That's what he deserves!

We moved out of the state immediately after listing with Lisa Jaeger. Lisa dropped everything and went to our house countless times to make sure it was secured.

Sharon Knudsen and Nadine Bechle were exception and passionate about what they do. They were very open to thinking outside the box and marketing our property in unique ways. They were go getters from the beginning and kept in communication every step of the way. Sharon and Nadine exemplify exceptional character, integrity, and honesty and they are serious professionals. After working for 2 years with 2 different ‘local’ Hunter realtors with not one offer on the property we listed with Coldwell Banker Village Green on Memorial Day and the house was sold by Labor Day. Amazing – Thank You!

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.

Advocacy and Integrity. When we think of the experiences we have had with Ellen Eder , these two words are apparent. Anyone who has ever gone through the grueling process of selling their home and looking for a new place to call home are aware that this process can be harrowing. Furthermore, bargaining for a new home, the inspection processes and all the other intricacies can be daunting. Many times, we asked ourselves, is this the best value for our money? Is this the best fit for us? Ellen was ever present with all the facts we needed to answer those questions. Her superior knowledge of the areas we viewed houses in, the real estate market and the offering process were invaluable to us.
Ellen was thoughtful, insightful, extraordinary and energetic. She has outdone herself, literally hiking up mountains, crossing streams and driving from Ellenville to Woodstock to Pleasantville.
In the end we have two great properties that we cherish and can build on. We continue to have much joy from the properties we purchased, and we are grateful to Ellen for her integrity, honesty and advocacy in helping us to secure our dream.
- Lara Perez
As first time home buyers, we were apprehensive about finding an agent that we could trust. From the first phone call with Amy Lonas I felt she knew what my husband and I were looking for. She’s a real estate match-maker! Amy was able to easily match our interests and personality with a location, county and style of home that met our needs. Unlike other realtors who seem to be on the phone constantly to other clients, despite her busy schedule Amy always gave us her full attention. She was quick to respond to correspondences and facilitated a very smooth process from looking at homes to closing on our home. Amy is patient, kind, and a great negotiator. We could turn to Amy for ideas and knowledge during each step of the process and were so glad to have found Amy. We would recommend Amy in a heartbeat. If you want a genuine, hardworking and fun agent – Amy would be your best choice!
- Erin Davis, Kinesiology Works, Brooklyn
Lisa Jaeger worked tirelessly with us. She would send us listings as well as us giving her listings to check out for us. We would make arrangements to drive up for the weekend and Lisa would take us all over to show us homes. Many even out of her jurisdiction. Always with a positive attitude!! When she came across the home we now live in, she immediately contacted us and went to view the house herself and take a video for us. Lisa had found our paradise and we couldn't be happier or more grateful.
- Walter & Patricia Jones
Joann Alvis is the most professional realtor I ever met. She went above and beyond her duty. She did everything for me from finding a surveyor and walking the property. Kept me informed at every step, I would gladly recommend Joann to anybody who needs a realtor. She made the whole process easy for me. I didn’t do anything, she did everything and I would like to say, Joann Alvis, thank you so much for your service. Will be in touch again.

BUYER: I am happy to recommend my fantastic real-estate agent Antonio Parrota . Tony was invaluable for me in purchasing a beautiful lot in the South Hill development in Grahamsville, New York. He is very generous with his time and knowledge. He knows when to offer advice and when to be patient as you go through your decision process. He has your best interest in mind. And throughout it all he is a pleasure to interact with. Tony helped me not only in making the right purchase decision, but also to find other professionals in the area who could help the process along. I am grateful for all he has done for me and I highly and gladly recommend him.

Nadine Bechle was more than helpful. She attending every showing for us because we were in Florida. She also helped to let contractors in for repairs. Our alarm system failed just before Christmas and she met our alarm company and let them in to fix the problem. We would have never sold our house if not for Nadine Bechle. She even helped our attorney get some needed information for the closing.
- Jim Murray
Thank you, Joel Craig, for making the purchase of our home as smooth and stress free as possible We appreciate all of your hard work and going the extra mile. Joel responded to us quickly and stayed in touch without being overly pushy. He has an excellent work manner & is very knowledgeable about the market and buying process. If Joel is a reflection of the rest of your agents, then you’re doing the right thing. I would definitely list my home with him & recommend him to anyone that needs a realtor.
- Shane Kramer & Julia Carr
Joel Craig was without a doubt the best professional we worked with throughout our entire home buying process. We worked with him for a couple of months to buy our first home. He was very attentive to our needs, incredibly responsive, and was genuinely invested in our wellbeing. Being first time home buyers, he was able to answer all of our questions (there were many!) and be there for anything we needed, at any time. We would highly recommend Joel to anyone looking for a professional, thoughtful, and supportive agent.

John Summerford helped us to find our first home, the search was over a year long to find the perfect home in the perfect neighborhood. John is professional and detail oriented and always got back to us quickly with what ever we needed (house info, scheduling appointments to see houses.) Even during the closing process he was diligent with the mortgage broker, lawyers, other seller's realtor, and inspectors to keep the process moving. Overall John is truly a champion for his clients throughout the whole process, providing a lot of knowledge and experience to inexperienced home owners (like ourselves).

Feng Liu-Winham truly works for her clients, she found our two family property in 2016 & negotiated the appropriate price. Now in 2022 after an extensive renovation Feng understood the value of our sweat equity/investment and priced it accordingly and helped sell it within a few weeks of listing. We appreciate her professional guidance, upbeat & go-getter attitude.

Victoria Stent and Laura Warren (The Great Brits) were so wonderful and made the process of selling our home much less stressful for us. This was a difficult decision, at a difficult time for us.

I’ve known and trusted Amy Lonas for more than ten years, since first meeting her at the closing of a home I purchased in Woodstock in 2008. She was the seller’s agent and I regretted that she wasn’t representing me as the buyer. I’ve sold two homes since then, the one in Woodstock and another in Saugerties, and both times Amy handled the sales for me. I appreciate her direct, straightforward approach, and feel that she places my interest first. I can comfortably and unequivocally recommend her.

Eric Lein did an awesome job with getting our Estate home sold. He helped us choose the right selling price, handled everything involved with the sale, and got the home sold very quickly. I would highly recommend, and will definitely work with him again on any further real estate transactions that I may have.

BUYER: Antonio Parrotta was instrumental in our first land purchase in Kingston, NY. We were always excited about the idea of building our own house, but had no idea what questions to ask, what to look for, and how evaluate properties. Tony brought both his personal and professional experience to land development to the table, guiding us through the process. He advised us on the proper testing and due diligence, referred us to other service providers, and made sure the deal closed as expected. We truly could not have done it without him.
- Daniel and Jill
Allison Morelle (and teammate Angela Lanuto) were excellent. They were honest, made us feel supported throughout our home buying process and were instrumental in helping us find our amazing new home.

SELLER: What a pleasure it was to work with Antonio Parrotta . He was able to explain the complex nature of developing a 'wood lot' to an urban buyer, in a way that made them feel comfortable and reassured. He really made this deal happen for me. He also got me the price he said he would!

My husband and I had been searching for our first time home in Columbia County. We were so LUCKY that Joel Craig of Coldwell Banker responded to our inquiry. Joel was always so quick to respond, make all the appointments to see houses and offer moral support along the way. I cannot stress how important it is to have the right real estate agent. It makes a huge difference as you are going through the process of buying a home. We found the house we really loved and I owe it all to Joel. There’s no place like home. Bravo Joel!

Regina Tortorella is the absolute best in the upstate market.

Strongly suggest her to anyone looking for a home.
- Patrice Gervais
Our family is relocating to the area and John Summerford has been a great resource in helping us get to know the area and narrow down our search for a home. We haven't found a place yet, but John's expertise and promptness have helped us to quickly narrow down our search area and focus on a few specific locations. We'd recommend him to anyone looking to buy/sell, especially if you're unfamiliar with the area.

I WOULD HIGHLY WITHOUT RESERVATION RECOMMEND MEGAN. FULLY EARNED MY RESPECT. Went above and beyond; always a positive attitude.

I highly recommend working with Laura Warren as your buying agent. From start to finish, she did all she could to make it a seamless process for us. This was my first time buying a home and she really helped guide us through the process. From my first contact by phone, she was pleasant and offered to help us set up internet searches in our preferred areas. When we were finally ready to look at homes, she researched them online to see if they met our requirements so that we wouldn't waste time driving four hours round trip to view them. She arranged the viewings quickly and she was not high pressure. She provided us with guidance about the market and what we could expect in the market conditions. From start to finish, she kept the process moving and kept us informed. We always heard back from her quickly and she was courteous, even when we had a million questions. She made navigating buying a home in an area we weren't familiar with easier by providing us with recommendations for attorneys, mortgage brokers and home inspectors. If we couldn't reach one of the many parties involved, she followed up with them to help push things along and made sure we understood what the next steps were along the way. Overall, we had a very positive experience with Laura and when we met Vicki at our walkthrough, she was lovely as well. Since we were new to the area, they helped us with recommendations for painters and cleaners in the area. We greatly appreciated Laura's professionalism, responsiveness and guidance. She made what could have been a very frustrating process go as smoothly as it could and it was relatively painless. We are very happy with our new home and plan to stay here for years to come. If you work with Victoria Stent and Laura Warren (The Great Brits) to purchase a home in the Hudson Valley, you will be in good hands. I highly recommend Laura as someone who listens and does all that she can to make sure you have the best experience possible. Thank you Laura and Vicki for everything!

Amie Durham was brought to my attention from a previous listing she had sold. I was very comfortable with her. She was not a push over like most realtors. She was here for me 24/7! Day or not sun to snow! She is truly one of a kind! Aysa Morehead was suggested from Amie since we were in her area. She was very informational about everything, Surrounding her county. She knew were the schools were. Also gave me more in-site on well, septic, gutters. Etc! She was also very comforting too. Over all great person. I was very nervous and I had no idea what I was doing. These two woman had my back the entire time. They were both very informational. They both were very involved in my wants and needs. Both woman went in to multiple homes and helped look for things I need to be aware of when owning a home. To looking from septic tanks, structure, roofs, plumbing you name it! Amie was with me from the beginning until closing! This couldn’t be possible with out her! You ladies are the best!! Thank you!

As someone who benefitted from Laurie's passion for real estate and helping people, I would recommend Laurie.

BUYER: I am delighted to recommend my Real Estate Agent, Antonio Parrotta . Tony assisted my family with the purchase of two gorgeous lots of land in Grahamsville, New York in 2023. Tony introduced me to the South Hill development in the winter of 2022, a development planned to house 22 modern homes in 130 acres in the Hudson Valley. Tony worked patiently to show us various properties in the area, work through the pros and cons of various options, and help us finalize our choice diligently.
Tony’s knowledge and network helped by way of many types of advice, including help in finding local legal representation and vetting of contracting companies. He has been consistently warm and patient throughout the process, and continues to keep in touch with any questions we might have. He operates with integrity and a unwavering effort to keep his client’s best interest in mind. We are grateful with how responsive he is.

Amy was fun to work with and gave me impeccable recommendations for all the services I was looking for. I give her my highest recommendation! Prior to Amy, I had been “dumped” by another realtor for not being up to her standard of pricing… Amy welcomes all her clients, in all price ranges. Thank you. Amy! I am so happy! I love my new home.

Regina Tortorella is not just a realtor - she is a real estate miracle worker. We had fought and lost more bidding wars than we care to remember for our dream mountaintop property - and then we called Regina. Not only did she find our perfect piece of real estate in the perfect place, but it was at the perfect price too. Regina has an almost supernatural ability to divine a client's needs and then fulfills them. And on top of all of that, on the day of our closing, she restocked our liquor cabinet! A truly amazing realtor who found our dream home and made sure we got it. Life changing experience.

He comes with my highest recommendation.

This was a somewhat complicated sale; with a mortgage by the seller, solar on the roof to be transferred and an easement to be drawn up. Amy Crossfield was always on top of it all with frequent communication to the seller's agent. She and I were in almost continuous communication from early May through October by phone and by text messages, literally several hundred texts in each direction! At all times, Amy was a pleasant person to the associated with.

So glad we chose to work with Christine Nielson ! She knows the ins and outs of the Woodstock/Kingston/Hudson Valley markets. She was very confident about pricing and exactly what we needed to do to prepare our house for sale, which was very little. And, she was right! We received the price we hoped for for my mother's house with no stress or unnecessary fuss.

Sharon Knudsen was great and wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend her. She even went above & beyond finding info about painters, gardeners, etc...

The sale was tough and Elizabeth Suib stayed on top of everything including the town, lawyers, and buyers agent! Liz was in my corner.
- Desiree Yzquierdo
Lisa Jaeger was so professional and helped us out so much. She is the most professional person I think I have ever dealt with.
- Shannon Hoyt
Amie Durham has been a very good friend of mine for a long time and I know she hasn’t been in this profession for a long time, but she didn’t show it. She handled herself very professionally and was very diligent in finding properties for me to look at. She was there when I needed guidance and an honest opinion. Any obstacles we had going through the sale process she dealt with ease. It was a pleasure working with her. Thank you Amie!

I highly recommend working with Laura Warren as your buying agent. From start to finish, she did all she could to make it a seamless process for us. This was my first time buying a home and she really helped guide us through the process. From my first contact by phone, she was pleasant and offered to help us set up internet searches in our preferred areas. When we were finally ready to look at homes, she researched them online to see if they met our requirements so that we wouldn't waste time driving four hours round trip to view them. She arranged the viewings quickly and she was not high pressure. She provided us with guidance about the market and what we could expect in the market conditions. From start to finish, she kept the process moving and kept us informed. We always heard back from her quickly and she was courteous, even when we had a million questions. She made navigating buying a home in an area we weren't familiar with easier by providing us with recommendations for attorneys, mortgage brokers and home inspectors. If we couldn't reach one of the many parties involved, she followed up with them to help push things along and made sure we understood what the next steps were along the way. Overall, we had a very positive experience with Laura and when we met Vicki at our walkthrough, she was lovely as well. Since we were new to the area, they helped us with recommendations for painters and cleaners in the area. We greatly appreciated Laura's professionalism, responsiveness and guidance. She made what could have been a very frustrating process go as smoothly as it could and it was relatively painless. We are very happy with our new home and plan to stay here for years to come. If you work with Laura Warren and Victoria Stent (The Great Brits) to purchase a home in the Hudson Valley, you will be in good hands. I highly recommend Laura as someone who listens and does all that she can to make sure you have the best experience possible. Thank you Laura and Vicki for everything!

It was great working with Doina Dewell . She helped us in more ways then you can imagine.
- Jean Salha
Laurie Ylvisaker expertly handled the sale. Her knowledge of the market and the area allowed her to quickly bring the property onto the market and receive multiple offers above the asking price. Her presentation of the house on the web was outstanding. I would highly recommend her. She is very hard working and handled all the complications quickly and efficiently.
- Alison Eriksen Trust Robert Erikson, Exc
Everything was positive, Laurie Ylvisaker tried to get the best price she could. She was very responsive to calls, emails and texts. She seemed to care about all parties involved and was not pushy or aggressive. In short, a pleasure to work with.

Eric Amaral is a fabulous broker. I’ve bought three properties with Eric and village green real estate 25 years ago and now have sold all three. Your office and Eric have always been like family to me and my wife. Thank you for all that Eric and your office have done for us.
- John Amato
I have been in sales for 20 years and have had the opportunity to manage and train hundreds of sales professionals. Regina Tortorella exceeded our expectations every step of the way. We saw many properties in one day and ended up making an offer at the end of the day. I felt Regina knew what we wanted and helped us understand the market as well as assist us with finding a lawyer. She's a keeper!
- Frank Chioccariello
We met
Laura Warren and Victoria Stent when they were representing a seller whose home we went to view. We were so impressed by their expertise and professionalism during the showing that when the time came to sell our longtime beloved home, their names immediately came to mind. We are so happy with our decision to go with the Great Brits team!
They are committed, communicative and effective. Their marketing was top notch; they were able to place our property with high-profile social media accounts, sent out consistent emails, and hosted open houses whenever possible. They were available to us whenever we had questions and had impeccable follow through. Most importantly, they got our home sold in record time. You'll not find more hardworking agents than Laura and Vicki and you'll appreciate their authentic approach and genuine love for the Catskills region.
- Gigi L & Angel M
You have done an absolutely AMAZING job,
Christine Nielson. You have been helpful, diligent, real and professional. You are truly the best and we all appreciate your outstanding efforts.
- Hilly
Regina Tortorella was great and got me an offer at asking price before the house went on the market. I highly recommend her!
- Ben Snead
An extraordinary agent! If you've the choice, choose him. He's a skilled professional who cares equally about both his sellers and his buyers. His successful track record has left him armed with an arsenal of potential buyers available instantly upon your listing. He sold our house the first weekend it was on view. While others agents will bring a jaded eye and a cheap cell phone to photograph your property, Eric Bean's background as a fashion photographer will prove invaluable in presenting your property in its best possible light.
- Michael Murphy
We absolutely loved working with The Great Brits Team! Victoria Stent and Laura Warren were tireless in their efforts to sell our home. A very professional team and we are thrilled with the outcome they brought to us. If you are going to sell your property, look no further than The Great Brits Team. You're in good hands!
- Joy & Richard M
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.

Regina Tortorella and Aaron Joseph Perer were wonderful to work with. We received excellent advise from the get-go. Their knowledge of the market was spot on. The listing/photography exceeding our expectations. We received two offers, closed a cash deal in less than three months. And they were accessible and responsivw throughout. Highly recommended.
- Susan Brandi
Megan Forziati had a very pleasant attitude and took care of any problems that arose. She did all the work - I didn’t have to do a thing. I really enjoyed talking with her.
- Jeanette Hoye
It was a pleasure working with Dawn Passante . She's very knowledgeable, punctual, a good listener, and advisor. I would recommend her highly as a selling agent for your home which we had on the market for only a month.

The Angela Lanuto Team (Angela Lanuto & Allison Morelle ) were terrific throughout the entire process. From searching to viewing to purchasing to the final walk through. They went above and beyond with much insight, sensitivity to our needs and integrity.
- Amy Lax
Lindsay E. Quayle is the consummate professional and very personable. Her responses were always prompt and she reached out to ensure we had the most current information. During the purchasing process all the way through closing she provided great advice, counsel, and a list of co facts to aid in completing all the inspections and other details. I could not praise her enough! Stop looking… Lindsay is the one you are looking for to purchase or sell your property.
- Jon Conroe
Eric Bean was amazing. Thoughtful and knowledgeable, courteous and kind. He was patient and incredibly helpful. He was referred to us by a friend and we feel incredibly fortunate that he took us on as clients. He spent almost 8 months with us and used his expertise and deep network in the area to find our perfect home. We are forever grateful to him.
- Amber Angulo & Daniela Crocco
Eric Bean went above and beyond to help us find the right home for us. He was superhumanly patient and honest with us, we couldn't be more pleased with the experience.
- Nicholas Hollows
BUYER: This was, without doubt, the easiest and most satisfying home purchase we have ever had. We were drawn to Antonio Parrotta after following up on another listing, and while speaking to him it became clear that he was different from other brokers in his honesty, his interest, his responsiveness, his knowledge and his experience. When we met him, he was warm, engaging, genuine and direct. We appreciated all those qualities and felt we could trust him to help us find what was right for us, rather than simply get us to purchase a home. While we had initially planned to purchase a home in the 450K to 600K range, it became clear how much work would be needed to upgrade them. Consequently, we started to look at homes closer to what we had imagined. Through our trepidation Tony guided us, never pressing us to do what was beyond our reach but helping us to take the risks necessary in a challenging, competitive market. When we did finally win the bid, he seemed as genuinely happy for us as we were. It felt as if we had a partner, and mentor in the process, not simply someone brokering a deal. After the initial bid, he provided us with names of real estate lawyers, inspectors, and all the necessary professionals to close the deal. It is with pleasure that we can call Tony our friend, who truly shepherded us into actualizing a dream.
- Melanie Suchet and Sandra Fuentes
BUYER: When my husband and I were looking to buy our first home, we were overwhelmed to say the least. We were very lucky to find Antonio Parrotta ! Tony was able to find just the home we were looking for, helped us to get pre-approved overnight by directing us to the right professionals, and got us an accepted offer on the desirable home the next morning. He, and the team he set us up with, worked diligently to help our first home buying experience go smoothly. Throughout the entire process Tony was there for us offering mentorship and knowledge, and we felt confident because we knew he always had our best interest at heart. We would HIGHLY recommend Tony to anyone in need of a professional and trustworthy realtor!
- Lauren & Andrew
Joann Alvis was wonderful to work with. We would recommend Joann to others. She was helpful in many ways showing our property. We thank her for all her hard work.
- Rita Dougherty
I can’t possibly say enough good things about Eric Amaral. He went above and beyond for us every step of the way. Knowledgeable, communicative, helpful and understanding. Even when our first lender dropped us and things were looking bleak, my husband and I would say “well if nothing else we have Eric and he’s the best, and he will help make this happen for us.” Which he did. Because of Eric’s incredibly hard work, we are now the proud owners of a home that is skyrocketing in value, is safe and comfortable, and is honestly the house of our dreams. Not only would I recommend Eric to anyone who needs a realtor- but I would recommend him for sainthood. Because this guy did a miracle for us. Our original closing date was supposed to be December 8th! And he stuck with us every step of the way. It’s probably a good thing my Lyft is pulling up to the tattoo shop right now, or I would certainly write a million more pages about how amazing Eric is.
- Su Houston
Allison Morelle has an immense amount of patience. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and best of all, very friendly. I am very happy and pleased. She always responded to my calls and emails in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend Allison and Coldwell Banker Village Green to my friends and relatives!
- Jennifer Ferzan
We had to finalize a rental quickly, and Hollis Dukler was very considerate and responsive. She met me to show the house the morning after I called and arranged a meeting with the landlord very quickly.
- Raven F.
The Angela Lanuto Team (Angela Lanuto & Allison Morelle ) helped us find the perfect property upstate, and were highly communicative and responsive during the entire process. They were knowledgeable, personable, and effective at helping us finalize the deal. I can't say enough about how great it was to work with them. They were excellent, communicative, and helped us find a home, negotiate a deal, and navigate the process from start to finish. Allison was a dream to work with, super knowledgeable and responsive, and Angela is a formidable force who saved the day when the deal nearly fell through.
- Jordan Kraemer
Andrea M. (Andi) Turco-Levin is very reliable and straight forward. She listened carefully to our wishes and only showed properties which fit our profile. Her warmth, humor, & availability made us call her for this 2nd house deal. I have recently referred family members who are searching for a property.
- Beveraly Bellinger & Howard Gottlieb
(John Summerford is a) Great guy to work with - knows his stuff, is honest and took the time to show us and discuss the pro's and cons of each place that we saw. Highly recommended.

We absolutely loved working with
Laura Warren and Victoria Stent of "The Great Brits Team.” We were first time home buyers and they taught us so much about the process as well as all the considerations when choosing a home. They are great as a duo and ensured we were always supported and their communication was great. They go the extra mile - from getting us started on our search to answering our questions even after closing — we couldn’t recommend them enough!
- Allison Newell
Ann Levine is a very professional and courteous realtor. She answered my texts promptly and is very knowledgeable.
- Mark & Diane Stauble
I've passed on Leslie Foti's contact to friends and neighbors. She immediately selected top notched properties in my price range. I made my choice during the first visit. She is knowledgeable about the buildings, neighborhoods, paper filing process and scope of renovations. This is my 3rd home purchase and by far the least stressful. Every step of the process was clearly explained by her and the people she recommended to work with me. Much appreciated experience.
- Phi Nguyen
Absolutely Amazing! By far the best team ever! Angela Lanuto and Allison Morelle make the experience of selling and buying a home easy and stress free! Beyond informative of next steps, progress, etc. Always responsive to calls and texts!
- Jessika Disbrow
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).
- Robin Syvino
Dawn Passante is the best real estate agent I have ever had, and I just sold my 7th home with Dawn as my agent!! She is extremely knowledgeable about the area, the market, how to best showcase a home, and has the utmost integrity and honesty. Dawn goes the extra mile for her clients, always communicating flawlessly and accommodating the clients schedule and needs. Her advertising acumen is right on point with drone photos, if needed to showcase landscaping, pools, etc. Her attention to detail helps ensure a smooth process from showing, to offer, to closing. I cannot say enough positive things about Dawn. Dawn Passante is truly 'excellence-in-action' as a Real Estate Professional. She delivers positive results for her clients and makes the process very understandable for her clients.
- Dr. Beth Scannell-Desch
Nadine Bechle was wonderful and definitely looked out for our best interest

Amy Lonas' knowledge of the current market price structure was helpful in positioning our house for sale. I would recommend Amy to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area.

Sara Gorman Maliha was an excellent agent. She helped with all aspects of the sale and kept me informed at every step. I will recommend her to anyone who needs a caring and professional agent.
- Karen Merker
Very helpful agent. It took a long time to finally find a house but Aysa Elisabeth Morehead was patient in helping me find the right house and I would recommend Aysa to anyone.
- Maureen Sager
Amy Crossfield had excellent communication. Dealt with difficult situations.
- Marion Howard
Allison Morelle is a real professional. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. The house sold in a week after a bidding war and at $50,000 above my asking price. She always called back or emailed promptly to answer any questions. She was very pleasant to speak to. At this point I consider her a friend! I could not have hired a better realtor. She knows her job inside and out. She advertised in ways I never would have thought of. There were 39 showings and 7 offers in less than a week.
- Jeff Nichols
Allison Morelle (and her teammate Angela Lanuto) run a tight ship and are both super responsive. They listened to our wants and needs and were active partners in helping to find us more than we knew we wanted (or thought we could even find)! I highly recommend anyone looking to buy upstate whether for the first, second or third time give Allison and Angela a call, they truly make the process digestible, not to mention they follow up on all aspects of the deal to make sure that things continue to progress.
- Horton Matt
Laura Warren and Victoria Stent (The Great Brits Team) were fantastic from start to finish. I was completely new to the process, and they helped at every step along the way. They were very knowledgeable and communicative throughout. Laura and Vicki are simply a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend them.
- Zach Siegel
This was a slow sale. Agent led me thru the market pressure as we struggled to find a buyer for the property. Great effort from Lisa Jaeger.
- Glen & Linda Bellomy
I had a house for up for sale for over a year, with no luck. I moved my listing to John Summerford , and he did a great job working with me to come up with a realistic price that would sell the house. Within a week or so we had multiple showings, and within a couple of weeks we had offers. John did an outstanding job getting this house sold for me.... which allowed me to sleep again at night!

Angela Lanuto and Allison Morelle were incredible realtors for helping me find my dream home in the Hudson Valley. As a first time home-buyer, I knew the process was going to be intense, but my goodness there are so many phases and moving parts! Angela and Allison were amazing guides through the process of searching, making an offer, inspections, negotiations, the contract, and closing. I am so grateful for their clarity, support, and the many resources they shared with me. Great agents to have on your side!
- Elissa Weinzimmer
Karen Sullivan is absolutely amazing! She knows the market so well that she got us a house that wasn't on the market and is the exact right house for us at the right price. She learned our needs after showing us just a couple of places and then just pulled this unlisted house out of nowhere. She communicated constantly with us about every step of the process, helping guide all of the communications challenges with third party folks too, she was so responsive beyond any reasonable expectation and we are so so appreciative of her responsiveness and attention. We have already recommended Karen to colleagues and will keep it up -- cannot express how extraordinarily lucky we feel that we got to work with her.

Mary McKinney was very professional, personal, and supportive the [entire] time she was involved in the selling of my house. I could not have asked for a better experience!

Following the sudden passing of my mother, my brother accepted the task of finding a realtor to help sell her house. He read great reviews about Ann Levine. My sister and I were co-executors and we met with five different realtors. After her presentation, we ended up deciding to use Ann. That was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
Not only did Ann come in quickly to start explaining the process involved in staging the house, she didn't pressure us into rushing the sale (as there were still many personal items we had to sort through). Once we were ready to have the house on the open market, it sold very quickly at a good price. As I knew going into the sales process that my plan to use my share of the money made was to purchase a house of my own, I knew that wouldn't be the end of my relationship with Ann Levine.
When the sale of my late mother's house went that smoothly, I quickly turned to Ann to find out if she would like to help me purchase a house. She responded by providing me with dozens of potential properties. I gave her a few specificities that I was looking for and she took the time to investigate which locations matched my desires and were closest to my worksite. I took the time to organize them by the how desirable they were on paper. Ann and I looked at three properties, but I couldn't get over how much I liked the first one. Not only did Ann do a great job of keeping in touch with the seller's agent, I ended up closing on the house the day before my birthday for $10,000 under the asking price. She also has some great contacts, of which I've used a handyman and am having my own well installed by another connection.
After the quality work Ann has provided for me and my family, I not only find her to be a great client-centered real estate agent, but a friend. I would recommend Ann Levine to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.
- Adam Kudlo, Kerhonkson
Amy Lonas is very honest and direct... Another great quality is her ability to fight for her client tooth and nail. She's also warm and fun to spend time with... something valuable with an agent because you end up spending a lot of time together. For as harrowing as selling and moving and buying truly is, Amy is the best at getting you through it.
- James Conrad
John Summerford is incredibly hard-working, diligent, and honest. He is by far the best realtor I've worked with. He provided me with impressively thorough information on a consistent basis. My family hasn't yet bought something with him, but I plan on working with him until we do.

Sara Gorman Maliha is clear-sighted, responsive, responsible and, no matter the question or the circumstances, unfailingly intelligent and good-humored. We couldn't have been happier in having her as our agent for a complex 1031 exchange real estate transaction. Interviewed 3 agents we selected from a list of Ulster/Dutchess agents. Sara was the most candid, relaxed, and articulate.
- Michelle von Koch
[Dawn Passante]: Thank you again for your guidance and your work in selling our house... We are enjoying our new lives in North Myrtle Beach. Much success.

From our first meeting and reviewing properties, through a seamless and painless closing, Angela's preparation, expertise, and thoroughness were flawless.
- Jeff s. & Melanie T.
Aysa Elizabeth Morehead is great! She is extremely knowledgeable about the market. She is pleasant and easy to work with, and willing to devote her time and energy to a sale. I have sold two properties through her. I have also recommended her to others. In the most recent sale, she handled nearly all the paperwork and communications with the Buyer, making the Closing fast and easy for me. I wish I had more properties to sell.
- Jon Tower
Andi [Andrea M. Turco-Levin] went above & beyond to make sure my needs were met selling & buying a new home, meeting my short time frame between selling my home and providing a speedy closing for both sales. I feel her expertise & knowledge of the markets availabilities made this transition possible. Andi's attention to detail & sensitivity to any needs set her apart from others in her field.
- Roseann Sureda
We truly loved working with Athena Brown while searching for our apartment. Communication was always clear and very quick, which is so valuable in a competitive market. Athena helped up every step of the way to make sure we were taken care of, and not only secured the apartment but got us in comfortably. We would absolutely recommend Athena, and also work with her again.
- Taylor & Triana
Athena Brown was the agent for a vacation property that we purchased in January 2022. Athena was extremely helpful, open, transparent, and reliable through the whole process, she understood our needs from the very beginning and supported us through the back-and-forth on the inspection process and even after closing, let us know that an ice storm had hit the area, so that we would drive up to make sure that the property was in good shape. As buyers of a vacation property, Athena's thoughtfulness gave us the peace of mind that we needed.

We are very pleased with Sangi Nouweland and would use her services again and also make referrals. Very pleased.

BUYER: My wife and I had a great experience working with Antonio Parrotta to find our first home. He is very knowledgeable about the Hudson Valley & Catskills area, with good insights into the nuances of what each town offers. He understood our taste level and did a great job of curating the homes we visited. Any one of them could have been a great option for us. Ultimately, we took his advice to invest in building our new home with a designer/developer focused on sustainability, a key area of interest for us. Tony's knowledge and advice was so valuable to us in our search process and we would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a new home.
- Devin Wheeler
The Great Brits team (Laura Warren & Victoria Stent) is phenomenal! Working with Vicki was amazing, she made the experience more personal and she was always willing to go the extra mile. We really enjoyed working with her and would recommend the Great Brits to anyone looking for a new home.

Amie Durham was brought to my attention from a previous listing she had sold. I was very comfortable with her. She was not a push over like most realtors. She was here for me 24/7! Day or not sun to snow! She is truly one of a kind! Aysa Morehead was suggested from Amie since we were in her area. She was very informational about everything, Surrounding her county. She knew were the schools were. Also gave me more in-site on well, septic, gutters. Etc! She was also very comforting too. Over all great person. I was very nervous and I had no idea what I was doing. These two woman had my back the entire time. They were both very informational. They both were very involved in my wants and needs. Both woman went in to multiple homes and helped look for things I need to be aware of when owning a home. To looking from septic tanks, structure, roofs, plumbing you name it! Amie was with me from the beginning until closing! This couldn’t be possible with out her! You ladies are the best!! Thank you!

Aysa Elisabeth Morehead is very sweet and a very hard worker. She helped me through all of my first time homebuyer qualms and showed me the ropes.

Regina Tortorella and Aaron Joseph Perer are a very professional real estate team. They were bringing only very qualified buyers and I got an offer very quickly thanks to them. I highly recommend them.

Bruce Stalnaker was literally the most helpful person in this whole process. He was open and honest with me and was a fantastic resource for me in finding local surveyors, lawyers, and even a bank that was willing to lend for vacant land. As I am not from the area where I purchased my property, I really lucked out with Bruce. Bruce was able to point me in the right direction with each step of the buying process. Going into this I knew nothing about what it takes to buy and develop a vacant property and with his help the process was much less intimidating. Bruce was even able to help me chose several potential building sites on the land and was present when the site engineering was done for septic maps and board of health approval. I couldn’t have asked for more from a realtor.

Besides being very nice, she was so helpful with any problem that arose. Sharon Knudsen was absolutely professional through the entire process. Sharon was a gem throughout.

Allison Morelle is always helpful and amazing when showing me and my fiancé a house. We've been looking for almost a year now and she is always enthusiastic and quick to get us in and has all of the details and answers to our questions before we even ask! She's thorough, and has even pointed out good and bad things that we have overlooked! She is excellent at communicating with us and the sellers/agents/whoever we need answers from. I have and would continue to refer to anyone looking for help with buying a house to Allison!
- Mary Croley
SELLER: Antonio Parrotta was our listing agent, and he was absolutely wonderful as a representative. His listing pictures were professional, and his care in setting a realistic market price, using his resources as offered by Coldwell, and his follow-through throughout the process was unbeatable. Tony provided references for services as needed, was responsive to all inquiries, and just as important, he was honest but enthusiastic about the property and the process! The sale went quick and smooth, well done and thank you Tony! You have our recommendation to friends and neighbors!

I met Leslie Foti when I bought my home upstate. I think I reached out when I saw an ad. It was a terrific experience so when I was selling it I naturally reached out to her. She’s many things that I like: Honest Affable Smart On top of things Hard working She anticipates things vs just reacting.
- Bryan K Mullen
Laura Warren and Victoria Stent – the “Great Brits” team – were fantastic throughout our recent property purchase. From the initial scoping of what we were looking for in our second home, to the review of everything on the market, our negotiations with the seller and finalizing the deal, they provided sound advice and helped make things happen quickly and easily.

Everyone describes buying a home, particularly a first-home, as an "emotional rollercoaster." That certainly proved to be the case in our purchase, and we were grateful to have such a savvy "conductor" on our side throughout the process.
From describing the process end-to-end to discussing and weighing our options at every juncture,
Athena Brown was a highly competent and compassionate advocate.
For first-time buyers coming up from Brooklyn, her experience with making that same move herself was particularly helpful. We deeply valued her insights and tactical support, but her charm helped make parts of the process quite enjoyable.
10/10, We would highly recommend anyone looking for a new home in the Ulster/Greene County region to work with Athena.

Angela Lanuto was very knowledgeable, professional, and responsive.

Angela Lanuto exudes enthusiasm, professionalism and business savvy in working with both buyers and sellers. Her efficiency and reliability in follow up and attention to detail is most impressive.

Angela Lanuto has a beautiful personality. My husband and I were first time homebuyers. I always say, it’s like being in a foreign country and not knowing the language. It’s a very intense and at times, stressful experience. Angela did an amazing job breaking everything down. I texted her, more than my own friends and felt very supported. She is so smart, funny, kind and competitive. We were in an multiple offer situation, and Angela got us our house! Do you know how difficult that is to do, in the market?!?!?! She also knows a lot about the community, and has so many connections. She got us connected to an electrician, plumber and contractor. Whatever you need, she’s got your back. She is truly there for you. I cannot say enough kind things about her! She really makes this stressful situation, fun! We had a lot of fun, and we laughed alot. She has talked me off many cliffs! She has been a friend, therapist, mom and teacher. Hands down, the best person for this job! We know Angela is crazy busy, yet we always felt like a priority to her. We will miss her tremendously.

Christine Nielson helped sell my elderly mother's home recently. Her skills helped us to secure an offer within just a few days of posting our property. Christine was attentive to every detail of the transaction and provided us personal attention every step of the way. We did not expect to sell and close on a home during the winter season but Christine made it all possible. My mother was relieved to have Christine handling the sale of her beloved home. We cannot thank her enough.

The only reason I found my home in this busy market is because of Erin Patricia Loughran. She was on top of the inventory, she knew what I was looking for and she was extremely attentive. I would highly recommend Erin Loughran to anyone looking to buy or sell.
- Louann Sullivan
Angela Lanuto was so helpful and a pleasure to work with. I had a really tough process that started with a foreclosure. ..When that fell through she quickly found a home that I fell in love with and couldn't be more perfect for my daughter and me! She had my back every step of the way and I recommend her very highly to anyone who is searching for a new home.

Doina Dewell was very personable and called whenever she had new information and always kept us in the know. She is a great representative of buyers/sellers needs.

Dawn Passante did a great job. This was a particularly difficult sale due to the fact that there was an old barn on the property that most buyers did not want. Dawn kept on showing the home until it was finally sold. Thanks to her we got a great price in the end.

Sangi Nouweland is a phenomenal realtor! She truly went above and beyond to keep me informed in every step of purchasing my home. As a first time buyer, I cannot imagine having navigated the highs and lows of the market with anyone but Sangi.

Feng Liu-Winham was a pleasure to work with from our first meeting right through the closing process. She was in constant contact with us to keep us up to date on her efforts and she personally brought perspective buyers through our home on a regular basis. Once an offer was made she handled all issues that arose right through closing. Great job! Great agent!!

It’s really hard for me to express how grateful I am to Ellen Eder . From day one, Ellen went above and beyond to give her expert point of view on my home searching process. She became a thinking partner, who was very knowledgeable about the market and took the time to explain to me every part of the process. As a first-time home buyer, Ellen’s generosity in this process was invaluable, and reflecting, I don’t know how I could have done this without her. She invested so much time, and provided clear guidance in the processes which were complex to me (sometimes even hard to take), with so much care and attention. We even had fun site visits. She was always on time, always following up, and doing relentless research. I truly cannot thank her enough for her hard work and for helping me achieve my dream of owning a home.
As a Mexican immigrant, more often than I wish, I find myself in situations where I have to withstand uncomfortable comments that highlight difference, my origin or my accent. Ellen was incredibly sensitive, respectful and treated me with the utmost ethical standards. As an institutional leader, I manage a large team, and I know how valuable it is to hear from clients and communities we serve, and for that, I dare to say that you are lucky to have Ellen amongst your team. And I will be recommending Ellen and your office extensively in the future.

When we mentioned to a friend we were considering buying a home in the Hudson Valley she insisted we speak with Angela Lanuto . After one conversation with Angela we were sold! Angela really knows the Hudson Valley and helped us navigate each step of our home buying experience with ease and expertise. She was always willing to jump on a call or answer our questions via email or text which makes a huge difference in this competitive market. Angela has put together a great team and if you’re interested in buying in the Hudson Valley you really can’t do better than the Angela Lanuto team. We highly recommend!

We worked with Henry T. Ford for more than two years, looking for what we hoped would be our dream house in the Woodstock area. As everyone considering the process knows, and we certainly learned, this has been a difficult and very competitive time to try to locate a suitable property. Henry grew to understand our parameters and wish list. He made us aware of every possibility as it became available, even though we could not always arrive in time before a home was off of the market. He made sure that we had access to every property that we needed to see. He assisted us in the bidding process. When we were finally under agreement, he connected us with his contacts in the industry, so that we could obtain the necessary inspections and other services in a timely manner. Ultimately, with his efforts, and extreme patience, we found and purchased the exact home that we and our family desired. While we can’t give him full credit for our success (there is an element of luck in all of this), we could not have done it without him. And he became our friend.
- Denise & Bob Keyser
Christine Nielson understood that my husband was looking for something rather specific, and did not try to push him in another direction. She was lovely to work with throughout the entire process. Patient and low pressure, but forth right in terms of giving her opinion. Her referrals for an attorney and banker were excellent. We had a very positive experience.
- Bari Gordon
Christine Nielson and Amy Lonas marketed and sold our house on the Hudson River. Not only were they extremely professional, but they were equally kind, caring and likable throughout the process which is never without its stresses. As a veteran of the real estate industry, exposed to hundreds of transactions and agents, they truly earned their commission.

Dawn Passante was a true professional in all areas of the selling process! Her many years of expertise in the real estate field shined through with each aspect that had to be decided upon. She always kept the "goal" in mind and kept us informed throughout the entire process. Dawn is an asset to her profession. She is a "stand up" realtor who made the entire process painless for our entire family. She looked out for our interests and always returned our phone calls promptly, and listened to our concerns. Dawn put our interests first and I recommend her without hesitation. Sincerely Yours, P.G.

Victoria Stent and Laura Warren (The Great Brits) have been such a pleasure to work with and we feel so grateful to have had them as our agents! Our family (me, my husband, and two little ones) are moving upstate from Long Island, and though finding a new home from afar can be a challenging task, Vicki and Laura have gone above and beyond to help us find the perfect place, get to know the community, and ease our transition. We are grateful for all the times that they visited properties on our behalf, answered countless questions, and put the time and thoughtful energy into understanding who we are and what our family needed. They put a lot of love into their work and it shows! Vicki and Laura are professional, efficient and have been a source of great support to our family. We highly recommend them as your agents!

My experience in buying and selling real estate has given me a chance to experience brokers/agents on Long Island, Manhattan, Brooklyn and now Woodstock. My wife and I always felt comfortable that Amy Owens would provide insight, knowledge and most important - fast answers. We were lucky to catch our new home only because Amy alerted us to its pending listing. We literally drove up the next morning and gave Amy our bid. She took the time to get to know us and understand our likes and dislikes. She never wasted our time. Amy is simply put, the best.

We couldn’t have found a better realtor than Dawn Passante . From the beginning, she guided us through everything we needed to know and kept us informed every step of the way. We are grateful for her knowledge and expertise as she was always available for any questions we may have had. Thank you Dawn for helping us sell our home. You will always be our first recommendation to anyone interested in selling!

My husband and I had been looking for a house in the Catskills for years. We sent out many contact emails to real estate firms and met agent after agent but did not really click with any of them. From the first time we met Sharon Knudsen, we immediately liked her. She was very knowledgeable about the area and straightforward with us, which is a quality in an agent that we value above all else. She quickly picked up on what we liked and didn't like and , after the first day of showing us a few houses, we could tell she had a sense of what we wanted. In the following weeks, every listing she sent to us was tailored to our needs.
It was through her guidance that we found the home we eventually purchased. She previewed the house for us and raved about its qualities, not to mention that it was priced well. It had the spectacular view that we were looking for, and through her guidance, we were able to navigate a tricky negotiation process with a few other offers on the table and secure the accepted offer and contract. We are so grateful to Sharon for helping us find our dream home in the Catskills and would highly recommend her to everyone looking in the area.

Elizabeth Suib could not have done a better job. She listened to what we wanted and did not waste our time showing us homes that didn’t fit our needs. She had an excellent feel for the market and was in close contact with us at all times. She’s a pleasure to work with. It is the second time she represented us. The first time around she sold our home in Saugerties. This time she helped us buy one.

I was very pleased with Sheila Word because she went above and beyond what was required. She would go to the house to make sure everything was in order and take care of things as necessary. Even after the sale she took care of the cable disconnect.
- Linda & Donald Franchilli
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.
- Rhonda M. Lowery
My realtor did much of the foot work for me before I was even able to look at the house I purchased I was searching for a house from across the country. Having someone I trusted on the ground was essential. Amy Crossfield has a very neutral un-pushy vibe and would send me videos and images of each place I asked her to check out for me. It was incredibly helpful and finally I found the right place.
- Lauren Phillips
Karen Sullivan was very helpful!
- Jessica Sedreddine
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.

I cannot say enough about Lisa Ferrante . She was knowledgeable, so accommodating, (she would pick us up at the bus station and take us to the listings we wanted to see so we wouldn’t have to rent a car) but most importantly she had enormous integrity which in her business is rare from my past experience. I never felt like she was “selling” in the traditional sense. Instead I really felt that she got to know us and what we liked. We always felt she was working on our behalf. l couldn't be more pleased.

Amy Owens was very professional and went above and beyond. I think highly of her and her experience. I was very impressed and satisfied. She answered all my questions and kept me informed.

"Off the chart performance as a realtor" is how I would describe my experience with Regina Tortorella. My house, bright, airy and magically sited, was also small. Regina let me know she was sure to sell it, but its appeal was for a special buyer. And that was the beginning of our productive collaboration. Trust was the bedrock of our relationship. Her honesty, her obvious desire to obtain the best results for me, her endless knowledgeof the market and ability to wear many hats astounded me. I remember one long conversation during which, among other things, she explained to me the intricacies of appraisal, drawing on her own experience as an appraiser. I was agog at her descriptions of criteria in determining the value of a house, how she cited figures and logarithms interspersed with clear language so I could follow. Her personal skills were equally impressive. We often laughed; I sometimes cried, and she understood. Selling a cherished home was not an easy task for me. In the end we sold the house for 93% of asking price...to a landscape designer...a perfect fit for the house. She was more than a realtor...she became a confidante, a friend and a trusted advisor. I am deeply grateful to have had her guidance and help in closing one chapter of my life and opening another. To anyone who has the opportunity to retain her as either buyer's or seller's agent I say...you could not have made a better choice.

Great real estate agents must have that perfect combination of professionalism, integrity and people skills. The Great Brits are just that: Truly great. Buying property in this unprecedented sellers market is dizzying and rife with emotion. Victoria Stent and Laura Warren were more than prepared to represent us. They patiently walked us through each step of the buying process, taking the time to answer questions and give sound advice. We really appreciated what we saw as a holistic approach to serving their clients. They understand that buying real estate is not just buying a house, it’s buying a lifestyle. Vicki and Laura were extremely generous with their time and expertise, even in matters outside the scope of our transaction. Most importantly, we enjoyed working with the Great Brits. As new members of the Saugerties community, we feel as though we have already made a pair of great friends in the area. We recommend them highly.
- Matt Kuriloff
Amy Lonas knew what we should fix up in our house before putting it on the market. She was right on target and saved us a lot of money. We had a specific problem about mold in our basement. The buyers inspector said it would cost $20,000 to remediate the mold. Amy recommended a mold assessor who prepared a proposal to remediate the mold and it wound up costing us $6000.
- Esther Liebert
Laura Warren and Victoria Stent (The Great Brits) were thoroughly informed, impressively helpful, and, thankfully, easy to work with. They are quite knowledgeable about the history of Woodstock and the surrounding area, and of many of the homes in it. Any snag we encountered with mortgage companies or insurance companies, they were there with useful suggestions or solutions. We are first-time home-owners, and I suspect that if we’d had other realtors, we might have given up on our search; instead, we found a house that we fell in love with and were able to purchase. I cannot stress enough how helpful they were: providing us with critical information when needed, reassuring us when we became anxious, and even offering good suggestions on how the homes we visited could be improved. Having spoken to people who have recently purchased homes, we realized how lucky we were to have Vicki and Laura to go through this stressful process with us. They certainly went above and beyond what we expected and what others have experienced with their own realtors. They never tried to pressure us to make a decision; rather they told us realistically what the situation was and left us to decide how to proceed. Further, although we have closed on the house, Vicki has continued to help us as we get to know the neighborhood. As is probably already clear from what we’ve written above, we would have no hesitation in recommending this team highly to anyone looking for a house. They are the best!
- Linda G. Schulze & John J. Matturri
Doina Dewell was outstanding. She really went above and beyond to help us make this purchase. She was constantly in contact with us, answering phone calls and queries promptly. She also did a superlative job when it came to advocating on our behalf when things got tied up; she made numerous phone calls and even visited the property several times to get issues straightened out. I don't believe we could have worked with anyone more attentive, caring and professional than Doina!
- Kathryn Tejada
Joel Craig conducted numerous walk throughs over a six month period even during adverse winter conditions. Always helpful and regularly shared buyer feedback. Put together a list of bidders and called for best and final offers. After identifying the buyer, helped me select the right attorney and expedited the closing process. Joel was patient and professional throughout the whole process and I highly recommend his services.

Bruce Stalnaker was professional and easy to work with on the sale of 202 Sherry Lane. He made recommendations to prep the house for sale and guided me through the process. I would recommend Bruce as either a buyer's or seller's agent as he explained what a buyer would be looking at and for when they toured a house.
- Estate of Gerlack
John Summerford was truly a pleasure to work with while selling our house. He kept us fully informed with every step and provided honest feedback and advice. He was extremely thorough, available, and responsive. As soon as we accepted an offer, John managed to keep all parties in the loop and kept things moving smoothly. John is not only experienced and professional, he is the kind of person that both buyer and seller's agents like to work with and he is an expert at keeping negotiations positive. I'm thrilled that we've closed but will miss working with John.

Laurie Ylvisaker is a problem solver with excellent local contacts. She moves things along but is aware & sensitive to the circumstances of her seller & buyer.

We started working with Amie Durham at the beginning of last year right before the COVID-19 epidemic shut everything down. We were so sure that we wouldn’t be able to find something during these times but with Amie’s diligence we were able to find our forever home. Amie ensured that everyone wore masks during this time and kept us safe. Amie kept us in the loop during the entire process, as everything was done through technology not face to face, once we decided on a home. She even gave us perfect recommendations for mortgage lenders and inspectors. We highly recommend Amie to all our friends and family looking to find their forever home.

When my husband and I started our search for a house I happened to receive a newsletter from Megan Forziati . The newsletter conveyed a deep engagement with the Hudson Valley and Catskills region, and a genuine love of nature. I registered having a distinct feeling that it might be good to work with Megan. My intuition proved right. Since it was our first home buying experience my husband and I were quite anxious. Throughout the whole process Megan was very present, responsive, resourceful. She clearly understood our sensibility and priorities. Megan made the process very manageable so that my husband and I were pleasantly surprised at how fast it all happened. We are very happy with our new house!

When we were exploring the idea of selling our home, we know we wanted to work with real estate professionals that were trustworthy and knowledgeable. We had the privilege to work with Laura Warren and Victoria Stent (The Great Brits) when marketing and selling our home. They were informative and supportive throughout the entire process. They helped calm our anxiety and were encouraging during our brief moments of stress. They walked us through the process step by step and were especially helpful in finding us a lovely apartment for the next chapter of our lives. They were charming, friendly and kept in constant contact. They were fantastic to work with and we would highly recommend them to anyone!

John Summerford of Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty is a pleasure to work with. He is deeply knowledgable about the Ulster County real estate market and gives advice tactfully and and completely on point. We have worked with John on a few real estate sales and purchases, on every one he was vital in keeping the deal alive. Any time there was a problem or glitch John always moved the transaction forward and came up with solutions. He never needs to be asked. I have no hesitation in recommending John Summerford heartily.

Ann Levine is terrific to deal with; she is both knowledgeable and hard working. We trust her unequivocally. She sold us both houses we've owned in Woodstock and sold them for us when we decided to move. We wouldn't use anybody but Ann if we we're buying again in the area.

John Summerford was great! My fiancé and I were first time home buyers and were still looking for an agent to represent us while buying our new home.

When my husband and I started looking for a home to buy in Woodstock, we knew where we wanted the home but was undecided on exactly what we were looking for. The first home we looked at was shown to us by Amy Crossfield and immediately we knew we wanted to continue to work with her. She was able to narrow our search by asking a few simple questions. What is striking about working with Amy is that she is professional, patient, knowledgeable and responsive to our needs. She showed us only the homes she knew we could afford, and the ones we would be interested in buying. Eventually, we were able to locate the perfect home. I would not hesitate to recommend Amy Crossfield to anyone wanting to buy a dream home. If it's out there she will locate it for you.

Sara Gorman Maliha was a proactive agent. Not only did she respond to emails, texts and calls in a timely manner, but she proactively checked in with the attorney, seller's agent and myself when there were lulls in communication or progress, which made me feel, as a buyer, like I had someone on my side who was on top of it and a go-getter. She accompanied us through the whole process and was so sweet and personable to invite me, a new transplant to the city who does not yet know Kingston well, to brunch to talk over the closing process and show me local Uptown businesses. She also made the very nice gesture of giving us our first house gift-- a beautiful wind chime made by a local, beloved company.

Francesca Noble was our agent for our property in Sundown, NY. Her word and her actions could be taken to the bank. She was lways honest and direct. She was on time for every appointment, she provided consistently relable advice and opinions. She was exceedinly conscientious and careful in explaining her role as a dual agent as she moved between myself and the buyer, and was meticulous in assuring that every detail was properly considered and addressed.
I have been involved in numerous real estate transcations, in several states, both as a seller and as a buyer, and have not met anyone who was as professional, friendly, and helpful as Francesca. I can heartily recommend her to anyone who embarks on what can be the emotional and financial journey entailed in selling your home.

Amy Lonas was professional and knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate. I had my home for sale previously with absolutely no interest.

I would recommend her to any prospective purchaser or seller.

We were the buyers in this transaction, and Ann Levine served as both the seller's and buyer's agent. It was a complicated and long drawn out deal, but Ann remained stalwart throughout.

My wife and I would both gladly recommend Ann to anyone seeking to purchase a home in your area.

We absolutely loved working with Laura Warren and
Victoria Stent of "The Great Brits Team.” We were first time home buyers and they taught us so much about the process as well as all the considerations when choosing a home. They are great as a duo and ensured we were always supported and their communication was great. They go the extra mile - from getting us started on our search to answering our questions even after closing — we couldn’t recommend them enough!
- Allison Newell
Angela Lanuto was recommended to us at a time of year when we never expected our home to sell as quickly as it did. From the moment we met her, we knew she would work hard for us and make the sale of our home her #1 priority. She said she would sell our home fast and she did . In less than a month, she brought us our buyers and made everything happen as promised.
Angela is personable, sincere and the hardest working realtor in upstate New York - she knows her stuff and worked round the clock to make this process as painless as possible. We interviewed several local realtors and not one was as positive or excited about our home as she was ... and that spirit of 'can-do' was there from the day we met her to the day we closed.
We love Angela and recommend her to anyone who is looking for a realtor who knows how to communicate, will work hard, and do everything possible to sell your home. She is absolutely the best there is!

John Summerford was very helpful showing us many home that met our descriptions we had given. He had a great knowledge of the village and the surrounding area. He help us through the entire process making it very easy.

Angela Lanuto is a great communicator. She calls and texts you throughout the whole process to give you updates and feedback. She has an upbeat positive personality that radiates to her clients and potential buyers. We had never sold a house before and she walked us through every step of the process. We highly recommend Angela if you really want to sell your house. Thanks Angela!

Hiring Laura Warren and Victoria Stent was a great choice. Laura helped us from start to finish, but knowing if she wasn’t available then Vicki would be there to help us was reassuring. We were first time home buyers with a modest budget. Laura made us feel comfortable and she was attentive to our needs. She is professional but relaxed and very knowledgeable about the market. She helped us find the perfect home and connected us to other great people in the Hudson Valley community.

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.

Aysa Elizabeth Morehead was exactly who I was looking for in an agent. She is extremely knowledgeable, supportive, empathetic and flexible. From the first conversation to our wrapping up of closing I have felt like I had the right person on my team in Aysa. Highly recommend working with her and Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty.

Victoria Stent and Laura Warren were our agents for the purchase of our home in Kingston, NY in September 2023. We began working with them in June, and closed on our house almost exactly 3 months later. We met for coffee; so they could get to know us and find out what we wanted in a home. This saved so much time because it helped them narrow the field of potential homes. Once we found our retirement home, they were excellent guides through the entire sales process, keeping us apprised of every detail, every step of the way. After the purchase, they provided us with lists of contractors to get us started on making the home truly ours. My husband and I would enthusiastically recommend The Great Brits Team to anyone looking for a home in the Hudson Valley!

Leslie Foti is an incredible realtor. My husband & I were all over the place in terms of what we were looking for and in which part of the Catskills. Her keen listening abilities allowed her to hone in on the similarities of what we both wanted in a property. We expected the process of finding the ideal house on the ideal property would take several years, but with Leslie guiding us, it took less than 6 months. Leslie was always quick to respond to our questions, and actively combed through listings and contacting us whenever something came on the market of interest – very important in a market where houses sell quickly. She was honest & straightforward with her opinions on the pros & cons of the houses we viewed and guided us through every step of purchasing our home – even through the closing which took place during NY Pause from Covid-19. We could not have asked for a better realtor than Leslie.

Eric Amaral is SO passionate about what he does. He made us feel overwhelmingly supported every step of the way as first time homeowners. He is efficient, accommodating, timely, and so knowledgeable about the market- not to mention humorous and lighthearted amidst a sometimes stressful process of searching for the right house in a tough market. We couldn't have imagined buying our first home with anyone else! We love Eric!!

We first began meeting with Anne Hilton Purvis six months before our house was was ready to be listed. She told us everything we needed to do to prepare our house for sale. It was a challenging market with high mortgage rates, but thanks to Hilton we accepted an offer above the asking price in less than a week after the house was first listed. We highly recommend her: the best of the best!

We found Nadine Bechle by accident, calling the Coldwell Banker number and having the luck that she picked up. From the beginning, Nadine showed total professionalism. She was interested in hearing about our property, a modest old farmhouse in Tannersville, NY, and came over soon after to see it. She realized it's potential immediately, liking all the positive things that drew us to buy the house in the first place. Yes, there were flaws too such as the outside needing painting, and there being only one bathroom, but Nadine saw the lovely light coming at dusk, the brand new sun porch that faced the woods, the luxuriant bathroom with a jacuzzi, and the new wood floors on the first floor. She also loved the historic aspects of the house such as the wide plank flooring on the second floor.
Nadine took photos of the rooms and arranged the furniture in such a way that everything was shown at its best. No trickery, just artful perspective. She also returned during the fall to photograph the beauty of the house with the foliage.
Nadine wrote excellent text to support the photographs on the listing services. It's interesting that an earlier experience with a different realtor brought our cousin, upon reading this realtor's text, to say that the description of the house was unappealing. How different were Nadine's words!! She knew exactly how to describe the house and bring forward its best aspects.
Then Nadine hired a videographer who created a wonderful video of the house with extra footage showing the beauty of the surrounding area. We fell in love with our house all over again.
Nadine was always attentive to our phone calls and worked hard to market our property. As luck would have it, the two women who bought our house, loved our house as we did. So not only did we sell our house through Nadine's efforts, but we also sold it to people who can appreciate all the beauty of the house and it's environment as we did.
Another very important point is that Nadine listed the house at a fair price. She did not underestimate it's value so that we would list it at a lower price, thus maybe selling it sooner. She knew the market and what the house was worth!
We are so thankful that she was our realtor and completely recommend her for your real estate needs. She's professional, helpful, artistic and kind. Use her as your realtor. You'll be grateful and happy you did.
- Bonnie and Isaac Geld
Karen Sullivan helped us find our home in the Hudson Valley in a very difficult market. She was incredibly patient with us, and went so above and beyond that she did a video tour of a home for us on Christmas Eve! Thanks to Karen, we finally have our upstate home. She is great!

Dawn Passante worked really hard to ensure that my house sold. She did a great job of keeping me informed about all of the changes. In spite of the challenges that came up in my particular situation (that had nothing to do with her), she continued to be a source of calm. When my projected closing day came and went, she talked to my attorneys on a daily basis. I felt as though I was in very good hands with her.

I can't recommend Leslie Foti enough. Not only did she listen to everything we were looking for, she suggested listings that we never considered after getting to know us a bit-- and guess what, we picked one of her properties!

When I was considering selling my home I decided to talk to Christine Nielson because I had seen first hand how hard she worked to sell a house I had built for a client that decided to sell after he got a job transfer out of the area. That, and she did a wonderful job in securing tenants for my rental house who remained tenants for 5 years after!! When we met at my house I was impressed with her ability to see how the house “fit” into the real estate market based on its particulars and siting. I could tell she knows the housing inventory and what buyers are looking for. Equally impressive was the manner in which she conveyed the information – clear, straight forward and honest. After a few days we met again and she continued to show these traits when she presented me with several comparisons of my house to sales that recently occurred with dollar amount adjustments for variance’s between each sale and my home for the purpose of coming up with a reasonable expectation of what my house could sell for. Chris let me see what the market could bear for my house and in my case I liked what I saw and decided to list it with Chris. Chris connected me with a home stager who furnished the home in a way that made people feel they wanted to live in it the moment they opened the door. During the couple of months that it took to sell and close on the property Chris maintained communication via phone, text and e-mail on a continued basis.
We both felt secure in her work in coming up with the value of the home and its asking price and in the end it sold in the amount exactly equal to that estimate – to the penny!!!! I couldn’t be happier that I had Chris work with me on selling my home and would recommend her to anyone considering doing the same.

You are a soft spoken pro! Francesca Noble provides respectful, courteous, honest, knowledgeable and competent service. I feel we were in a truly collaborative endeavor, contributing to the smooth sailing closing on my home in three months, from start to finish. I especially appreciate Francesca's nuanced use of both efficient texting and more extended phone call conversations to keep me apprised and to request my input relating to all circumstances involved in the entire transaction. Don't let her soft spoken approach fool you--she's an experienced assessor of realty and people. Work with her and rest assured, she'll deliver a fair deal.

We had a wonderful experience working with John Summerford . We were on the hunt for a weekend home in Ulster County and John was patient and attentive throughout the process, but never pushy. Since we could only come up on the weekends, he always made himself available. He also provided us tips on what to look for in a weekend home and was a great resource throughout our search. Once we found the house, John kept things moving all the way to closing. We highly recommend him!

Aysa Morehead is diligent, knowledgeable & tenacious, making the process simple & easy to understand. I appreciated her patience and expertise.

She also connected me with other quality professionals, like a real estate attorney & an inspector. I felt like I had a champion fighting for me & handling every step of my home purchase.

We went through several agents before we had the good fortune of meeting John Summerford. He was extremely professional, prompt at returning emails and calls, and really knew his stuff. John was very patient with us (first-time buyers), and we never felt pressured, or like he was rushing us. When we finally found the right property, John was a huge help with navigating the bidding/closing process. I could not recommend him more.

Since I lived over 1200 miles from the property being sold, I relied on Nadine Bechle for many aspects of this project. I always felt that Nadine had my best interests in mind- she understood my goals and represented me sincerely, honestly and completely. She ALWAYS kept me informed regarding the status of showings, feedback from the showings and helped to guide me in the best direction. Estate sales are very emotional, stressful and exhausting. I was so fortunate to have Nadine with me along every step of this difficult journey. Nadine is AMAZING and I will always be grateful to her for continually going the extra step!

There couldn’t be a better, more hard-working realtor on this earth. Jeanine D. Stoddard is so likable, so knowledgeable, and super diligent. She persevered in the face of a difficult and long closing sale with a frustrating, incompetent, and shady seller. She consistently went above and beyond the call of duty. My attorney sings her praises as well.

BUYER: Potential homebuyers, LOOK NO FURTHER, YOU’VE FOUND YOUR REAL ESTATE AGENT! Antonio Parrotta has to be one of the best connected and knowledgeable agents in all of Ulster County. In a market as competitive as this, you really need the inside edge, and you get that in spades with Tony.
When we started working with Tony, he listened to and immediately understood our preferences, aesthetic, geographic requirements, and future goals while keeping a close eye on our budget. Needless to say, we saw a lot of houses, and got beat many times by cash buyers and others with deeper pockets, but Tony stuck with us throughout and treated each opportunity with total focus and determination on our behalf.
Tony was ultimately able to get us an incredible house and I have no doubt we saved a lot of money because of his connections and knowledge. And best of all, we’re neighbors now! Feel free to reach out with any questions about Tony or the process.

It took a few visits before I understood what I was looking for in this market, and then a couple of false positives before I really knew. In a long phone conversation with Eric Amaral, I just blurted out, "Aren't there any wood houses?" Eric reminded me of one we had looked at in an earlier visit, and I realized that the house was perfect, was exactly what I was looking for. But we had looked at it last in the day, I was tired, it was getting dark, and the house I had seen before it was one I had decided to buy. Later I changed my mind. I was a confusing place Eric listened carefully, across all the visits, didn't push me in any direction, but at the right moment asked the right question. And that was the house I bought! It was perfect. And I couldn't be happier with it.

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!!!

I worked with Megan Forziati for over 8 months to find my first home. I had some particular requirements I refused to compromise on, which made the buying process more challenging and frustrating for us both. Nevertheless, Megan continued to patiently stand by my side until we found the perfect property for me. She worked compassionately with me to help me narrow my lofty dreams down to an achievable goal. She spent countless hours and gallons of gas touring properties with me, always willing to be flexible and schedule showings promptly and conveniently. I think we viewed a total of at least 60 homes when all was said and done! It is clear Megan is dedicated to providing excellent service and support for her buyer. She is very hardworking, smart, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend hiring Megan and intend to work with her again in the future.

Fantastic realtor! She was very easy to work with and helped us every step of the way! We had a few issues that she tackled very quickly, closing went smooth. 100% would recommend! Dawn Passante is the best!

Joann Alvis was outstanding starting with our first interaction. I was a first-time buyer looking for a small land lot but she still made it a priority. She was quick to schedule an appointment to walk the property and kept us moving so we could get an accepted offer within a few days. She was very responsive and kept me informed throughout my entire process. I would highly recommend Joann to anyone looking for their perfect place in the Catskills. On top of this, she has the sweetest pup :)

BUYER: Antonio Parrotta assisted my family with the purchase of a second dream home in Grahamsville, New York in 2023. Tony introduced me to The South Hill development in the winter of 2022 that will house 22 modern homes in 130 acres in the Hudson Valley. I am lucky to be first one of the owners of the South Hill development. From the selection and purchase of the land to finalizing the home build contract, Tony worked diligently to make sure that all processes are taken in a timely manner.
His knowledge and the network within the industry also helped tremendously through the recommendations he made in selecting legal advisors and local bank lenders for construction financing. I have worked with many real estate agents on several transactions over the years and can say with confidence that Tony is the best agent I have ever worked with. Tony has the qualities that make him an extremely successful and effective agent. I can’t say enough about his professionalism and knowledge within the industry. He has a high integrity and is very conscientious and tenacious, always keeping the clients best interests in mind. Tony is extremely responsive to questions, often responding immediately when communication is needed. I have the highest level of confidence in him. My transaction went very smoothly and we closed on time as he was always there to support his client in every step of the process.

Whether it was the dead of winter with several inches of snow on the ground and subzero temperatures, or the run off period of the spring with areas of knee deep water, Nadine Bechle would walk my parcel of raw land to show a customer. Her dedication and enthusiasm to selling a 5 acre parcel of raw land was present as it would have been for a million dollar property.
- Charles Wallace
Aysa Elizabeth Morehead was great we couldn't have been happier with how she helped us through the process. I will definitely refer her and Coldwell to anyone I know that is looking to purchase or sell. She made the process of buying our first home easier than we could of imagined.
- Russell Morse
Sara Gorman Maliha was a wonderfully friendly, direct, and knowledgeable person to have as an ally in this process. She was honest, trustworthy, and presented insight to the entire process... while remaining professional and ethical in her approach. She made us feel so welcome in Kingston and never made us feel self conscious about our blind-spots, the time the process took, or or first time buyer questions or concerns.
- Dillon Paul
We met Laurie Ylvisaker through Zillow after having found a property we wanted to see. She was the perfect agent. We were impressed with her knowledge of the area, she was very easy to speak with, answered all our questions, and checked in with us frequently, readily available during the purchasing process. We ended up making an offer through her on a property that proved to have many complications before we could close and taking many months. Laurie worked tirelessly through the long process, assuring us, and often times miraculously finding solutions to challenges that came up unexpectedly. At times it looked as if everything would fall apart, but Laurie was always there to help find a way to keep us moving forward. We would highly recommend Laurie to either a first time buyer (she will make you feel very comfortable and assured) or the seasoned buyer who knows what they want.

Karen Sullivan was spot on in all aspects of our sale & then purchase - demonstrating endless patience with us as we navigated the waters of coordinating closing dates within seven days of each other! Thank you, Karen! We love our new house!

We just closed on a beautiful house in New Paltz through John Summerford's detailed and patient guidance. We were looking for a second home in the Hudson Valley and did not know what town in Ulster County would best fit the needs of our extended family. We brought our wish list to John, and he coordinated showings, accommodated us at the last minute, always stayed in touch, and helped us navigate the search for a country home. We're city dwellers that don't know anything about septic tanks, water filtration or the test for radon, for example. He helped educate us, while putting our worries at ease. There's a lot to think about when you buy a 2nd home, but with the help of an expert like John, the process is much smoother and fun. John went above and beyond to represent our best interests. The work of a good broker goes way beyond just showing the home - it's also answering questions post inspection, presenting the offer sealing the winning bid, and conducting a thorough walk through before closing. He is personal, patient and professional.
Solid choice for a broker in the Hudson Valley!

Christine Hinz was great! She quickly responded to all of our questions and concerns. She made a difficult transaction much less stressful. My wife and I were both fortunate to have Christine working for us.

Christine Nielson and Amy Lonas marketed and sold our house on the Hudson River. Not only were they extremely professional, but they were equally kind, caring and likable throughout the process which is never without its stresses. As a veteran of the real estate industry, exposed to hundreds of transactions and agents, they truly earned their commission.
- Leonard Steinberg, President, The Leonard Steinberg Team - Compass
Amy Owens and Valerie Cashen were terrific to work with—they took the time to really listen to what we were looking for in a house and then patiently showed us dozens of different properties before the right one turned up. There were several times when we were outbid on houses we loved, but Amy and Valerie were unfazed, assuring us that there would be other great opportunities. And when the right one came along, they were tireless in their efforts to make sure we were the ones to get it! They are awesome.

Christine Hinz was knowledgeable and considerate.

BUYER/SELLER: I am writing this letter to recommend Antonio Parrotta for all your real estate needs. Tony provided excellent service for my family over the past five years. His professionalism, dedication, and real estate expertise allowed for a smooth transition of property ownership among multiple transactions.
In 2019 Tony helped my daughter purchase her first home at 23 years old. He was a keen listener and paid close attention to her wants, needs, goals, and financial situation. He knew the market and was adept at working with my daughter, her bank, inspectors, sellers and real estate agents. Tony also maintained open communication with my concerned father-in-law who was a career mortgage banker. He patiently explained all aspects of the transactions as they occurred. Tony’s expertise in the field allowed my daughter to purchase her first home in December of 2019. On closing day, my father-in-law stated that Tony was the most competent realtor he has worked with in his decades of experience. So, when my youngest daughter sought to purchase her first home in September of 2022 we reached out once again to Mr. Parrotta. The purchase of her home was just as smooth and successful despite a very competitive market due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The closing happened in time for the birth of my first granddaughter! But the relationship does not end there.
In September of 2023 my eldest decided to put her home on the market and buy a new home with her fiancé. Tony provided his excellent services once again. With his guidance, she put her house on the market and had an accepted offer within one week. The sale earned her a $100,000 profit! At the same time, he helped her acquire her dream home in New Paltz, NY which they closed on in November of 2023. She got married on Feb 17, 2024 and decided to have “her first look” wedding pictures taken at their new home. We are simply overjoyed. Antonio Parrotta is thorough, dependable, reliable, and truly cares about his clients. He knows the intricacies of the profession and goes above and beyond to minimize stress associated with the buying and selling process. I highly recommend him as a real estate agent. Please feel free to contact me with any questions using the information provided below.
- Debra Ricci
I've been in the Hudson Valley for 33 years. I'm sad to say, I've met a lot of surly, cutthroat, ruthless realtors during that time. I met Valerie Cashen by chance, and she's far and away the best realtor I've ever encountered. Her professionalism, positive, cheerful attitude, and her immediate resolve to overcome the slightest obstacle with ease had me in awe. She goes well above and beyond to ensure a perfect transaction. Valerie should teach a course to realtors up here & show 'em how it's done!

Working with John to purchase property resulted in a successful and smooth transaction. His realistic feedback concerning the true value as well as the potential value of various considered properties were of great benefit and extremely valuable when we were ready to negotiate. In addition, his personal honesty and his professional guidance throughout the process were outstanding. I highly recommend John Summerford .

I have been extremely pleased with my collaboration with Laura Warren and Victoria Stent . They not only knew the market and helped set a winning seller strategy, but they were extremely patient in explaining the selling process. They were available at all times via text message or by phone as necessary. As we were remote sellers this high touch level of communication was really reassuring.

Working with Angela Lanuto was a dream come true. She is knowledgeable, responsive and always looks out for her clients. We would recommend her to any prospective buyers. As first-time homebuyers she helped us navigate through the often difficult home buying process.
- Zillow User: ggg225
Angela Lanuto was my biggest support through this whole house buying experience. She helped us find the house of our dreams!! We came across many challenges during this process and Angela was always there to guide us through. I am very grateful to have had her working with us and to be by our side.
- Justine & Corey M.
Ann is terrific. She helped us for a number of months, she kept us informed of everything and she kept us from getting frustrated. Ann is outstanding and I would recommend her to anyone I know. She already helped my friend buy a house and is now working with another person we know. I have run companies my whole life and I know the type of people that make a company successful. Ann Levine is one of them!
- Elaine & Joe
Working with Amy Lonas as we searched for a second home in the Woodstock area was a wonderful experience. Since this was a second home for us, we were in no rush to buy and wanted to wait for the right place that checked all the boxes. Amy is patient and not once did we feel rushed or pressured into anything. She is honest and trustworthy, steering us away from places that had drawbacks. Amy has a very strong sense of the market and property values, and when it came time to make an offer on our home in Olivebridge, we felt confident because of her guidance. Last but not least, Amy is friendly, funny and very easy to work to with. Highly recommend
- Zillow User: mpalmaccio
Anne Levine was fantastic, pleasure to work with. She always kept me up to date about show times and inspectors, and for all that you might not to expect.

Lisa Jaeger was efficient and professional; she kept us in the loop as to where we were in the closing process and expedited all that was needed.
- George and Ana Mouradian
Laurie Ylvisaker was responsible and supportive through the entire process. Primarily and importantly, she established the correct selling price and the property sold very quickly!
- Donna Kermeen
Mercedes Ross is always prepared, organized and ready for the next house hunting adventure and available to answer any question day or night. She recently helped us close on a fabulous home and has provided valuable info, insight and advice to us on multiple occasions. She has helped us numerous times with another house we purchased several years ago. It’s worth mentioning that she represented the seller of that earlier home (which we still own). We were so impressed with her abilities and attitude that she became our realtor since that time. I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home.
- prl617
Regina Tortorella and her team [Aaron Joseph Perer ] were incredible and essential to closing my real estate deal and selling my property. Her experience in the area helped to get the deal done quickly and seamlessly. I told her from the beginning that I trusted her judgement on certain decisions that needed to be made, and she came through 100%. Would HIGHLY recommend Regina and her team for all of your real estate needs. She is truly the Second Home Guru! Thank you Regina and team for all of your hard work and dedication, and Happy Holidays!

As first time homebuyers, Amy Lonas was everything we hoped for in a Realtor and more. Her extensive knowledge of the market combined with her candor and sense of humor made working with her a joy. Should we need a Realtor again in the future, Amy would be our first choice.
- Elijah Nella
[Lisa Jaeger] was very helpful, informative, and responsive from beginning to end
- Scott & Beatriz Forman
Angela Lanuto is a dream to work with and takes the stress out of buying a home. She is an expert about every aspect of the process: each conversation with her helped us clarify what we were looking for in a home and as a result, we are now living in a home that was exactly what we wanted. She has an excellent network of references, which made everything from the initial bid to closing go smoothly. She is incredibly helpful in her advice with the financial aspects of real estate and acts as a trusted friend who will not only help you find a house or land, but a place that feels like home.
- Laura Diamond
The Angela Lanuto Team is such a professional as well as caring team of people who go beyond normal standards. We were so pleased with both Angela Lanuto and Allison Morelle . Your company is lucky to have them. Thank you to both of them. I will definitely recommend them to other potential buyers/sellers. Angela was such a magnificent caring realtor who was always so upbeat and confident in her work. She would immediately answer ALL our questions and concerns. We absolutely loved her!! Allison was just as sweet and kind and we loved her also.
- Corinne Biolzi
Amy Crossfield was Awesome! She helped us a lot looking for a house in Kingston. We had specific requirements and Amy considered all of them when we were looking at different properties. Amy always responded to our texts and calls. She made us feel comfortable, so much so that at one point my wife and I were looking at the upstairs and we came down to Amy playing with our Children and they were all laughing. Our youngest daughter, 2 1/2 years old, still talks about Amy when she is playing with her dolls. We were very happy to matched with her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a house.

Leslie Foti helped us sell our mid century modern ranch in Pleasant Valley after my wife and I moved to California. She was amazing! She knew how and where to market this very specific style house and was there to coordinate with vendors while we were 3000 miles away. She has a wide clientele and would recommend her for anyone who is selling or buying a unique property in upstate NY! We couldn't be happier in our choice to go with her.
- Jason Slack
We would highly recommend Anne Hilton Purvis to any home buyer. She took the time to really understand what types of scenarios would work for us and was proactive in being on the lookout as homes came on the market. When visiting properties, Hilton also brought things to our attention that we wouldn't have even thought to consider. We were so fortunate to have found her!
- Elizabeth Ladwig
Ellen Eder is beyond patient. I had a limited budget and she persevered in finding me the perfect home. Her patience is incredible. I was a challenging client to say the least. I recommend her to all my friends.

With a down turn in the market Angela Lanuto and Allison Morelle were not discouraged. Very up beat. I was kept informed through the entire process. I used the lawyer they use and he was great, very easy to work with, and affordable.

When we were exploring the idea of selling our home, we know we wanted to work with real estate professionals that were trustworthy and knowledgeable. We had the privilege to work with Victoria Stent and Laura Warren (The Great Brits) when marketing and selling our home. They were informative and supportive throughout the entire process. They helped calm our anxiety and were encouraging during our brief moments of stress. They walked us through the process step by step and were especially helpful in finding us a lovely apartment for the next chapter of our lives. They were charming, friendly and kept in constant contact. They were fantastic to work with and we would highly recommend them to anyone!
- Sue & Mike B
Allison Morelle went above and beyond!! She showed us multiple homes. Contacted agriculture specialist to help. She knew what we were looking for and never gave up.

Our experience with Cynthia Goldberg was overwhelmingly positive. She was incredibly professional, friendly, warm, thorough and patient. We have never dealt with a realtor like her before or anybody who even came close to her standard of excellence. She communicated with us every single step of the way and was always just a text or phone-call away. We genuinely feel like she is part of our family and will continue to recommend her to as many people as possible.
- Diarmuid Wheeler
We found working with Sara Gorman to be an absolutely fantastic experience. She gave us advice we were a bit worried about at first but it became clear she was an expert on the nuances of our market and read the trends perfectly. Over the past 35 years, we have bought and sold 7 properties in Marin County, California and NY, including apartments in Manhattan and 9 acre compounds in Woodstock, and never have we had we had such an easy, seamless sale and closing. We are grateful and feel indebted to her.

Mercedes Ross was excellent to work with and had my husband and I’s best interest at heart. She was very responsive and always kept us updated and on track with what we needed to do. I would highly recommend her as a realtor!
- Hanna Long
BUYER: Antonio Parrotta is such a pleasure to work with. I am completing my second transaction with him and really appreciate the depth of his local knowledge. I am very impatient and so I really appreciate how incredibly responsive he is at all hours, holiday weekends included. He has amazing architectural and landscaping vision. He sees the potential of a property and he paints that picture so well for his clients. He also could have tried to convince me to purchase a more expensive but wrong property but instead, he totally supported me in the perfect choice. I strongly recommend him to my family and friends. I cannot recommend him more strongly!
- Michelle Morgan
You could not find a better person to help you find or sell a house. I have bought 3 houses with Ellen Osgood and sold one. She is responsive, responsible and considerate. I trust her implicitly. And she is fun to work with. I will never forget the time we had 20 viewings in one day and half way through she said it was time for lunch and whipped out a picnic basket filled with homemade goodies. What a treat!
- Ann Weigel
SELLER: Antonio Parrotta was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and eager to help. We were able to ask him anything and he always was kind and informative. He made a difficult process very easy for us.

Ellen Osgood is a fantastic real estate agent. She works hard (and smart) for her clients and is knowledgeable about the latest home sales trends. She was very helpful to me in picking out different bathroom tile during the renovation process of my family home. She also helped me with selecting a reliable contractor. I couldn't have achieved the end goal of selling my home without her guidance and expertise.
- Keith Larsen
Joel Craig was simply the best real estate agent I could have ever wished for. Within 2 weeks of the listing being posted, he had two offers and went above and beyond doing extra things to help get ready for my closing. It was a complete dream. I would recommend Joel Craig to anyone and everyone. He will make a potentially stressful process- the best it could ever be!

Laurie Ylvisaker is the number one real estate agent in Woodstock and Ulster County for a reason – she is the best! She is dedicated beyond measure and will find you the home you are looking for or the buyer for your home without any nonsense or ‘broker-speak.’ She knows the Woodstock and Ulster County market, every street, every nook and cranny, and she will tell you ‘like it is’ – whether a property is priced right, whether you are buyer or seller. I’ve found more than one rental through Laurie, bought a home with her help and most recently sold a property through her. She definitely has the inside track -- if you are a buyer, she will frequently know of a property that might be available before it is even formally listed, or if you are a seller, she knows who’s out there looking for your type of property. No one will work harder than Laurie to meet your needs, and she is the nicest, most professional person to deal with.
- Zillow User: nsiegel99
Bruce Stalnaker is a sensitive realtor. He really knows how and when to sit back, to give space, to steer the ship, to nudge you when you need it & be a good ear through the process. Great people skills! Funny guy, too. A pleasure to work with.
- Valeria Gheorghiu
My house was listed through Coldwell Banker Village Green on a Friday and, within a week, I accepted the top offer that was more than $80,000 above the listing price. It was a real estate home run and Mercedes Ross , my sales associate at Coldwell Banker Village Green, who hit it out of the park. An eminently saleable property and a pandemic-driven sellers’ market gave it lift, but it was Mercedes's keen instincts, business acumen braced by an MBA, and steady confidence based on years of professional experience that made the score. Although the sale went successfully and quickly, the if-and-when decision took more than a year that Mercedes helped me navigate with understanding and patience. When it came time to sell, she knew exactly when to swing.
- Claudia Ansorge
Amy Lonas was a fantastic agent for us from beginning to end. We explained what we were looking for, she set up some houses to see, and [at our third stop] we found the perfect place, within our original budget. She helped us through the negotiating process step by step, communicated well, and helped us in our search for lawyer, lender and insurance without any pressure to choose anybody specific. We had a couple of hiccups towards the end of the process (related to septic) and Amy helped us renegotiate terms to keep the purchase moving forward but account for the surprise in the cost of the deal to us. On top of all of those professionally focused comments, I will also add that Amy is a wonderful person with a sense of humor - which really matters when you are going through a stressful and important process like buying a house. If you are looking for a property (or selling one) in the Catskills/Hudson Valley, I recommend Amy Lonas without hesitation.
- Zillow User: dtclark10

Both Gretchen Juliano and Stephen Cerini worked with us to ensure a smooth selling experience. We worked with Gretchen before as buyers and loved her attention to detail and friendly demeanor. She went above and beyond and really made it a personal experience both as buyers and as sellers. She wasn’t local when we needed to sell but she recommended Stephen and we trusted her. He was wonderful too, and the two of them worked well together and assured us along the way. We owe a HUGE “thank you” to both of them!
- Victoria Bigda
Leslie Foti was THE BEST. She helped me find the most perfect little house, and was an invaluable guide as I moved through the process of becoming a first-time homeowner. She gave me pro tips on how to move through a bidding war, shared all of her local handyfolk (e.g. plumbers, electricians) with me, and even coordinated visits with them where necessary when I was out of town. Plus, she's just a really fun, lovely person. I can't recommend her enough!
- Zillow User: zuser20150222071302880

Leslie Foti is hands down the best real estate agent we've ever worked with. We really felt like she was on our side during the whole process, from giving honest feedback around the value of a property, to helping with negotiating, all the way to making sure we were completely satisfied with our closing experience. We never felt like she was pushing us to do something we were uncomfortable with just to close the deal. We can't recommend her highly enough!
- Zillow User: user20161130195454256
We loved working with Vicki Stent on the purchase of our new home. She was lovely to work with –– very positive, attentive and responsive. A go-getter and a true partner! Vicki really helped to guide us the whole purchase process, from start to finish, providing expert perspective and critical advice when it came to negotiating, keeping us on track with key milestones, and generally making sure the deal happened. And it did –– thank you, Vicki!

Amy Lonas - Dream Agent
Not only is Amy a brilliant negotiator, she supports the difficult process from inception to closing, beyond the required role of an agent. Incredibly, she sold my house after the first few showings. Amy was my fourth agent, and while the others were enthusiastic and involved at the beginning - only until the signing of the exclusive contract - Amy was the only [agent] who sustained her interest. She followed through and communicated on a continuous basis, dealing with every problem in detail, including finding a trustworthy and affordable contractor for repairs required after inspection.
Her generosity of spirit and loyalty were remarkable. She was always available and responded immediately to all enquiries. She made the process effortless, which would otherwise have been a stressful experience, speeding things along, including finding the fastest and most effective lawyer. While unique details of the property might have been devalued and ignored for square footage; she enhanced them and so ensured a proper relationship between the market value in relation to other properties that were evaluated in the neighborhood, and the aesthetic details that might have been minimized in favor of more practical considerations.
I wholeheartedly recommend her if you are looking for an agent that is both attentive and intuitive. I cannot imagine using any other, who might only be thinking in terms of just another property on their list. If you want a more personal way of dealing with what can be a long and arduous process, use Amy. She is the agent not of the year, but of the decade.

Lenore Garvey came to our house to discuss her role for the sale and how she would keep us apprised of activities.

Such a sweetheart to be working for & with us!

Thanks to John Summerford , my first venture into home ownership was successful. As a first time buyer, I very much needed to be educated on all aspects of purchasing real estate. John not only took the time to explain each and every detail of the process but also was extremely patient when answering my many questions. He also really listened to me and kept my search realistic by only showing me properties in my price range that met my criteria.

Ellen Eder was very knowledgeable and professional! She gave us many ideas on how to get the house ready to sell! She helped us find a handyman to help with the improvements. Ellen evaluated other similar houses in the neighborhood and suggested a higher price than we expected. When people wanted to negotiate, she encouraged us to stay with the original price! We really appreciated Ellen’s friendship and expertise!

She was always our realtor. She sold us our first home and we use Sheila Word for all our real estate transactions. She is courteous and very helpful. We always recommend her to our friends.

Amy Lonas was knowledgeable, no nonsense and on the ball. She was quick to share what she knew and find out what we needed. She found us the house we didn’t know we needed! Amy is a joy to work with. She always made us feel like we were her top priority. She is an excellent communicator and very knowledgeable about the area. She took the time to understand what we wanted in our next home, which made the search process efficient. Amy’s responsiveness and confidence allowed us to trust her advice and she delivered a great outcome for our family.

We had a very difficult time finding a home and were in contract 3 different times. Nadine Bechle never gave up and did all she could to find our perfect home. She always kept us in the loop and never made us feel like we were just a business transaction. Though we ran into a lot of problems with potential homes ( all problems out of Nadine's control) She fought hard for us to make sure we were getting a good deal and all previous deposits were returned to us. She was always professional and worked extremely hard to help us find the right home for our family!

John Summerford is an excellent agent. Very few of the typical negative characteristics of a lot of real estate agents. Reliable, trustworthy and straightforward.
- William F Hill
John Summerford recently helped us purchase a property in Ulster County. We were looking at the low end of the market so his commission was minimal but I always felt that he treated completely equally to more exclusive clients. He is deeply informed about the local real estate market, got us a fabulous deal on a hard to negotiate auction property and made the whole event seamless and easy.

Hilton [Anne Hilton Purvis] went completely "above & beyond" to find the property that best met our requirements. The home that we bought was not even on the market, but Hilton knew it was right for us and she approached the owner, unsolicited with our offer. The timing was right for everybody, but Hilton provided the spark that made it happen.

I am very happy I got to work with Bernard Babilonia in the process of purchasing my first home. He has been very kind and always responded to every call or concern I've presented to him while always assuring the best outcome. I will highly recommend Bernard to my friends and acquaintances since my experience has been zero stress and enjoyable as I mentioned to him I wanted it to be at the beginning of the process. Great opportunity and he is great at what he does.

Mercedes Ross is hands down one of the best realtors in the Hudson Valley. I have had the pleasure of working with Mercedes for many years, she has worked tirelessly to fulfill our needs. You will not regret it. She is wonderful and knowledgeable. Truth be told she goes above and beyond every single time.

Amy Lonas was a pleasure to work with. She was right on top of everything from the initial property showing right through the closing. She worked hard for us and was always responsive to our needs and ideas. The smoothest real estate transaction ever! I highly recommend her.

We selected Laurie Ylvisaker after a bad experience with another agent (from a different agency). Laurie was everything we hoped for in agent -- she knew exactly how to market our property, even helped by staging it a bit and adding some area rugs, and was always in communications with us. We signed with Laurie in October, and by January we had an offer. Now that's what I call a great experience. Laurie always went the extra mile to help us out. I have been referring her to everyone -- even people who don't want to sell their homes!
- Barbara
Karen Sullivan was a great partner with us finding our new home. She was honest and patient, and most importantly incredibly knowledgeable about houses and what to look for when buying one. I never felt like she was just trying to simply sell me something and make her commission - she wanted me to be happy and fully informed about important decisions. I would recommend her HIGHLY to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. She made it fun and easy and she is the best!

Christine Nielson Rocks! She helped guide us through the entire process and made homebuying less stressful. We couldn't be more pleased with how smooth everything went. Her guidance was key.

As an experienced broker myself (Brooklyn) I'm a tough cookie when it comes to finding someone who I feel is fit to represent me. After meeting many brokers, we met Laura Warren and Victoria Stent from the Great Brits Team and chose to work with them. They are great agents and advocates in the purchase process.
While many people think that they'd like to purchase on their own, even someone like myself who has 18 years of sale experience can tell you that... you don't know what you don't know and that's where it matters. I highly recommend choosing a fantastic buyer's agent like the Great Brits so that you can feel confident and educated about the Catskills process and the home you purchase.
- Cory Kantin
Mary McKinney is the absolute best… There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing she is.
- Patricia McElduff
Victoria Stent and Laura Warren (The Great Brits) have been both supportive and proactive in our search for our next property. We have never felt so supported and looked after with quick replies and genuine conversations about our wants and needs. They make the process of looking for a home feel comfortable and are extremely patient with us in finding the right property.

We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to help us through the home buying experience than Lisa Ferrante . Lisa was knowledgeable, reliable, and listened to what we wanted for our family. Finding a home during this past year was a task itself. She was quick to book us showings and she was always sending us new/upcoming listings; good houses didn’t last so timing was everything! She provided great advice when we had our uncertainties and she came prepared to every viewing and did her due diligence.
- Shelby Menoz
Dawn Passante is awesome and would recommend her over and over again! Being a first time homebuyer, I didn't have any clue as to the process of buying a house but Dawn guided me through each step. She's very proactive and we (my husband and I) found the house we love because Dawn showed us all our options. She responds right away when you need to ask her any questions. She's very professional in all her dealings and honest. We were very blessed to have her as our real estate agent.

Laurie Ylvisaker acted as our agent in the sale of a 2-family rental house in Woodstock. Laurie was the consummate professional in every aspect of the sale. From securing a buyer to negotiations for a fair price to her participation in the closing, her honesty, sincerity, knowledge of the real estate market and negotiation skills were second to none. I recommend Laurie to anyone who wants to be successful in purchasing or selling a property.

BUYER: I had to let you know how well everything went because Antonio Parrotta was very professional and extremely personable. He made me and my family very comfortable. His knowledge of the area and local roads and businesses was impressive and helpful, and he saved us so much time. He also has great ideas to help us visualize how to best enjoy some of the different properties we saw. Besides we had had a great weekend searching for our home and we were successful in one weekend! Unbelievable! He followed up immediately with a beautiful, unexpected summary of our day out of which is now in our memories along with the pleasurable experience we had with the purchase of our new home. Its apparent this guy really likes his job too!

Joann Alvis was outstanding starting with our first interaction. I was a first-time buyer looking for a small land lot but she still made it a priority. She was quick to schedule an appointment to walk the property and kept us moving so we could get an accepted offer within a few days. She was very responsive and kept me informed throughout my entire process. I would highly recommend Joann to anyone looking for their perfect place in the Catskills. On top of this, she has the sweetest pup :)

We met Laura Warren and
Victoria Stent when they were representing a seller whose home we went to view. We were so impressed by their expertise and professionalism during the showing that when the time came to sell our longtime beloved home, their names immediately came to mind. We are so happy with our decision to go with the Great Brits team!
They are committed, communicative and effective. Their marketing was top notch; they were able to place our property with high-profile social media accounts, sent out consistent emails, and hosted open houses whenever possible. They were available to us whenever we had questions and had impeccable follow through. Most importantly, they got our home sold in record time. You'll not find more hardworking agents than Laura and Vicki and you'll appreciate their authentic approach and genuine love for the Catskills region.

Amy Owens and Valerie Cashen were terrific to work with—they took the time to really listen to what we were looking for in a house and then patiently showed us dozens of different properties before the right one turned up. There were several times when we were outbid on houses we loved, but Amy and Valerie were unfazed, assuring us that there would be other great opportunities. And when the right one came along, they were tireless in their efforts to make sure we were the ones to get it! They are awesome.

Mercedes Ross always responded immediately, which I appreciated. Big things were needed for the house to sell (new oil tank, for example), and Mercedes inspired confidence in us that the work would be done and all would be well. We followed her advice about the listing price, which she said would “rock” and it did. George Lee was a very big help with finding a painter and dealing with building inspections. It was great to work with them. They always had our backs.
- Linda H Anderson
[Anne Hilton Purvis] gave me excellent advice from the very onset - where I should drive, what towns to visit, scenic walks to take. It is entirely because of her that I chose to buy in Ulster County over five other contenders - towns in Western MA, Vermont & Maine.
What's more, working with a very vague description of what I wanted ("an old farmhouse"), she selected 5 houses to show me, the 3rd of which I bought! It was perfect! I think that is pretty amazing.
Apart from her qualifications, she was just a lot of fun to work with - very dynamic, full of energy & ideas, a real positive outlook, a buoyant personality. I enjoyed the whole experience."

Amy Lonas is a fantastic agent. She worked tirelessly to find me my dream weekend home. She made me feel like I was her only client and she was zealous in advocating a good deal for me when we found the place I wanted. Amy's a true local in the community and her recall for the history and details of properties is remarkable. I'm so happy with the house she found me that I can't imagine ever selling. But if I had to do it, I wouldn't hesitate in choosing Amy as my listing agent.

Jeanine Stoddard was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. It was the first time we had bought a house and she put us at ease and explained the whole process to us. It was reassuring to know that she was on our side and going to help us to achieve our goal. She quickly understood the type of property we were interested in and helped us to clarify our ideas as we began to understand the market better. During negotiations and the closing process Jeanine was professional and efficient which ensured that we got the house we wanted without undue stress and wasted time. We love our new home and would thoroughly recommend working with Jeanine."

I have been working with Coldwell Banker 2002. I sold my father's house on Long Island and had very good results. When purchasing my house, I went directly to Coldwell Banker, had a great experience, and decided to return when selling the house.
From day one when I met Lisa Ferrante, she was very informative, compassionate, and helpful.
To my surprise, I was shocked that the house was sold in one day which took a lot of weight off my shoulders. I would definitely recommend Coldwell Banker to friends and family. Lisa was a pleasure to work with.

SELLER: I was lucky to connect with Antonio Parrotta when I called Coldwell Banker, just one of many real estate agencies I interviewed. Tony was instantly responsive, came down to view our property the next day, Sunday, and immediately saw the gem that our property really was, a magnificent diamond in the rough, to put it in his words. He, among all the other major RE brokers, saw in the property what I saw. He advised a listing price far above all the others brokers and supported it first with his reasoning and rationale and then, more importantly, supported his vision with a totally awesome marketing plan including professional photography, a 360 degree virtual walk-thru, and a superbly written description that in all honesty, made my wife and I realize what we were leaving behind when we moved. With his advice on listing price and skillful management of incoming offers, he was able to get my wife and I the best price for our home. His overall service, the ease in which we were able to communicate with him throughout the process was exemplary. To get to the point, I would highly recommend Tony to market and sell your home.

I am writing this for Amie Durham who was my real estate agent that I was very pleased with. It was not easy for me to sell a fully furnished condo, but Amie assured me to trust in her and that she would get me through all of it. She helped me with getting needed repairs done and even helped bring donations to the ASPCA several times, along with helping me vacuum the place. She made sure everything was getting done so I didn’t have to rush before the closing date. I would recommend her for anyone selling or buying property. Her correspondence was wonderful with her kind and caring ways. As far as I’m concerned Amie Durham is a fantastic real estate agent that works very hard.

Leslie Foti is the best! She showed me countless houses over the last year or more, and my search finally came to an end when she showed me a house a little outside of where I had been looking and it ended up being perfect. She was great throughout the process (I ended up getting the house even with several other offers on the table) and I'm sure we'll have many more encounters both personally and professionally.

BUYER: I cannot recommend Antonio Parrotta enough. We were brand new to purchasing land in the Hudson Valley, and we knew absolutely nothing about the process or about building a house. Not only has Tony represented many land buyers and land sellers in his career, but Tony has also designed and built 4 custom homes, project managed several gut renovations in New York City and did historic renovation in New Jersey. Thus, his knowledge and experience about buying land and what to think about, what's important and how to execute runs deep. He has also been extremely helpful in the building part-even staying involved after the closing-which has be great since he brings a great design aesthetic having had a prior life in interior and landscape design.
From the very first meeting, he explained every step of the process, what would happen next, and was available day or night whenever we had questions. He had helpful recommendations for site planning and architectural plans. Upon request, he offered solid recommendations for local attorneys and lenders, who then played an important role in being able to move forward with the purchase. Due to his experience and familiarity with all parties, he was able to help keep things on track, by routinely checking in with the lawyers, bank, and engineers to make sure all was going smoothly, and everyone had the documents they needed to timely close. He took a lot of the stress out of the process.
Most importantly, Tony truly exudes love and passion for the Hudson Valley, the lifestyle, and real estate. His enthusiasm is contagious.
I highly recommend Tony for as an agent if you are buying a house, selling a house, or buying or selling land. I especially recommend Tony if you are also looking to ultimately build a house on the land!
Finally, not only is Tony a great real estate agent, but we also made a friend! I can't wait to have him over to our completed home.
We are happy to speak with anyone contemplating listing with Tony or using him as their buying agent.

BUYER: I had the great pleasure of working with Antonio Parrotta starting in August of 2021. Originally, I was looking for a four acre piece of land in the Kerhonkson area. Tony was not only game to walk through fields and forests, he had experience in building houses himself that gave a great amount of vision to the pieces of land we looked at. Tony offered conversation and knowledge of the area, the people who work in the area and was able to offer options that helped with closing on a 104 acre property at Upper Cherrytown road. Tony has knowledge of the land and the ability to envision the potential with excitement that was certainly contagious. Tony was available, easy to communicate with and helpful in talking though many of the considerations that come along with purchasing that amount of land. His spirit of confident knowledge and vision and his talking though each point as we progressed from making an offer to closing in November was always appreciated. Additionally, I feel I have a new friend in the area. I have so much appreciation and gratitude for his help in making the process smooth and enjoyable every step of the way. I would highly recommend him as an agent to any friends or family.

From the first call with Aysa Elizabeth Morehead , she set our minds at ease about the process of buying a home. She ran us through the steps, and sent a selection of listings that felt right and suggested visiting a listing we didn't feel straight away, and that one turned out to be the one we fell in love with and ended up buying. So we're very happy we followed her gut. Also during she bidding process, her estimate for the value of the house was exactly what the appraisal came out to.

Regina Tortorella helped me buy a home this year. She was fantastic throughout the entire process of buying my second home in the Catskills. She has a expert knowledge of the region, and would a great asset to anyone looking to have an honest broker in their corner. I would highly recommend her to all my family and friends.

Great real estate agents must have that perfect combination of professionalism, integrity and people skills. The Great Brits are just that: Truly great. Buying property in this unprecedented sellers market is dizzying and rife with emotion. Victoria Stent and Laura Warren were more than prepared to represent us. They patiently walked us through each step of the buying process, taking the time to answer questions and give sound advice. We really appreciated what we saw as a holistic approach to serving their clients. They understand that buying real estate is not just buying a house, it’s buying a lifestyle. Vicki and Laura were extremely generous with their time and expertise, even in matters outside the scope of our transaction. Most importantly, we enjoyed working with the Great Brits. As new members of the Saugerties community, we feel as though we have already made a pair of great friends in the area. We recommend them highly.
- Matt Kuriloff
Feng Liu-Winham is always a pleasure to work with. She has been our agent through three transactions. We highly recommend her.

Leslie Foti is in my opinion the best in the business. She is more thorough and thoughtful than any other broker I've worked with. She was patient in answering any and all questions about the area from engineers to contractors to lawyers to bars and restaurants to antique stores. She painstakingly took me through what could have felt like very complicated and nerve wracking issues with buying a 300 year program old house, answered every email within a 24 hour period and is an honest and kind person to boot.
- Stacy London
Andrea M Turco-Levin is a very seasoned agent. I am also a Real Estate agent for over 40 years so when I first spoke with Andi I knew right away that she was good. Will not disappoint!!
- Tom Bimonte
I interviewed 7 real estate agents and had decided on an agent when at the last minute remembered a correspondence with Leslie Foti from April '21. I sent her a note and she responded immediately. That 11th hour decision was one of the best I think I have ever made. Leslie was my true partner in this sale, the biggest and most important sale of my life. She was with me on every twist and turn of the roller coaster and I am very lucky to have had her by my side.
- Cynthia Cohen
Leslie Foti was the best! She actually listened to our needs and budget and only showed us places that fit into that criteria. She also gave us options slightly outside of those as more educational aspects of what could be available. She knows all the people in the area too- plumbers, builders etc. very upbeat and kind. Would highly recommend Leslie to anyone looking in the Hudson Valley!

Feng Liu-Winham is nothing short of amazing. She was initially the seller's agent and then quickly became a dual agent and was our lifesaver. She set our first time homebuyer nerves at ease by walking us through the process step by step, making recommendations as needed and conveying / giving information 7 days a week! I would turn to Feng if I ever want to buy or sell again. She is truly a gem.

- Tommy Murray
Angela Lanuto is an extremely reliable and knowledgeable professional whose expertise and personality made her quickly assume the role of our trusted advisor. This was particularly important as the sale became more complicated and we needed to request additional appraisals and eventually renegotiate the price. Angela helped us make an informed choice, tirelessly providing all additional information about the house we eventually bought, but also alternative options in the area. We now enjoy living in our new home and Angela played an essential role in making it happen. Thanks!

- Richard & Denise Christie
Karen Sullivan is great. She has been super responsive, she knows what I'm looking for. When she has the opportunity to identify something she works on it straight away. Even listings that have been on the market for a few hours, she gets in touch with me about them. I only have good things to say about Karen. I will recommend her to anyone who's looking to buy a home.

After more than a year of serious real estate searching for our complicated mixed-use residential/commercial business model, we finally got connected with Angela Lanuto and Allison Morelle . We worked with several realtors in Vermont, Western Mass and the Hudson Valley, and no one was as pleasurable to work with, or as expertly knowledgeable as the Angela Lanuto Team. We've already referred several friends to work with them. 10/10!
- Raphael Sacks
Feng Liu-Winham is smart, extremely hard-working, patient, and a lovely person on top of all that. She's very good at understanding your needs and helping you find the perfect house. I would never consider working with anyone else.
- Zillow User: robin_cherry
Valerie Cashen personally showed us over 24 properties between June and September and went through the offer process 6 times with us until we finally landed our home. She continues to be a valuable source of information and help even after the home buying process. Her knowledge of the area and the market cant be beat and most of all she is a genuinely kind person.
- Blake Kidder
Henry Ford has all the traits you want in an agent -- he's a great listener, he's honest, resourceful, helpful, communicative, and a pleasure to be around. He listened carefully to what we were looking for in a property. He was honest with us about what was likely to be available and what we could expect to pay. He immediately got to work looking for what we wanted, sending us lots of great listings that met our criteria. Before long he had found the perfect listing for us! He then advised us as we bid on the property, and his advice ultimately helped us win the bid. In every interaction, he was well-informed, helpful, professional... and funny! What's not to like?
- James Bruffee & Caitlin Cahill
Feng Liu-Winham was our agent. She came highly recommended. She was prompt, communicative, and very helpful throughout the whole transaction. Feng wrote up an insightful, well written copy for our house and went out of her way to secure great photos with a professional photographer. She advertised in all the right places. Feng was always courteous and informative. She provided much support to our family during the whole process. My husband and I were extremely happy with her services and will certainly recommend her over other realtors in the area!
- Nikki Alvin-Smityh
Leslie Foti is the best. Easy to work with. She’s smart and gets things done. She provided easy access and had tips for me during and after the purchase. Straight shooter with a smile. I have recommended Leslie to friends and will continue to do so.

Sharon Knudsen and Nadine Bechle were exception and passionate about what they do. They were very open to thinking outside the box and marketing our property in unique ways. They were go getters from the beginning and kept in communication every step of the way. Sharon and Nadine exemplify exceptional character, integrity, and honesty and they are serious professionals. After working for 2 years with 2 different ‘local’ Hunter realtors with not one offer on the property we listed with Coldwell Banker Village Green on Memorial Day and the house was sold by Labor Day. Amazing – Thank You!

Regina Tortorella was perfectly on point from beginning to end. Was an absolute pleasure to work with her!

Jacqueline Coyle did an AMAZING job from the moment I first spoke to her. Knowledgeable, focused, detailed, courteous, persistent. Nothing fell through the cracks. I could not recommend her more highly.
- Lisa & Andrew Geissler
We just completed our purchase of 8 N. Washington Street in Athens, NY. Because of COVID and the resulting exodus from NYC to the Hudson Valley, this purchase presented some unusual and new challenges that we would not have run into a year ago. If it were not for the persistent work and effort on the part of our realtor, Sara Gorman Maliha, we would likely still be waiting to close. When we had trouble with the seller, Sara took care of it. When the bank, title company, and lawyers couldn’t figure out the municipals, Sara located them. Sara constantly reassured us while being direct and unwavering with others, which was desperately needed in several instances over the past four months.....as we grow and purchase more properties, we will certainly be calling Sara.
- Chris & Andy Sharp
Laura Warren and Victoria Stent – the “Great Brits” team – were fantastic throughout our recent property purchase. From the initial scoping of what we were looking for in our second home, to the review of everything on the market, our negotiations with the seller and finalizing the deal, they provided sound advice and helped make things happen quickly and easily. Laura is highly responsive and was a great help. Would definitely recommend them!
- Iain Donald
Victoria Stent and Laura Warren (The Great Brits) were thoroughly informed, impressively helpful, and, thankfully, easy to work with. They are quite knowledgeable about the history of Woodstock and the surrounding area, and of many of the homes in it. Any snag we encountered with mortgage companies or insurance companies, they were there with useful suggestions or solutions. We are first-time home-owners, and I suspect that if we’d had other realtors, we might have given up on our search; instead, we found a house that we fell in love with and were able to purchase. I cannot stress enough how helpful they were: providing us with critical information when needed, reassuring us when we became anxious, and even offering good suggestions on how the homes we visited could be improved. Having spoken to people who have recently purchased homes, we realized how lucky we were to have Vicki and Laura to go through this stressful process with us. They certainly went above and beyond what we expected and what others have experienced with their own realtors. They never tried to pressure us to make a decision; rather they told us realistically what the situation was and left us to decide how to proceed. Further, although we have closed on the house, Vicki has continued to help us as we get to know the neighborhood. As is probably already clear from what we’ve written above, we would have no hesitation in recommending this team highly to anyone looking for a house. They are the best!
- Linda G. Schulze & John J. Matturri
They [Angela Lanuto & Allison Morelle ] were excellent. It was a very stressful time for me and my family but Angela really made the home selling part so easy and stress free. I still can’t believe it! She’s really amazing. My experience was a pleasure from start to finish I would recommend them to anyone selling home. I have sold homes before and this was by far the quickest, easiest and least stressful.

- Richard Peterson
I had the greatest experience while working with Megan Forziati during the purchase of my dream home. Things popped up, as they always do in real estate transactions, but she helped me tackle every obstacle in time for the original closing date. If you are looking for an agent that goes above and beyond, Megan is the agent you need.
- Todd Harris
Sangi Nouweland is professional, kind, and caring. We were in a difficult situation after my Dad passed away and my Mom was reluctant to sell her home. Sangi was empathetic and spent time reassuring my Mom, respecting her wishes in terms of how many showings there would be, and provided all-around gentle guidance which resulted in a quick sale well over the asking price. She was the right real estate agent for us. I would recommend Sangi without hesitation!
- Kimberly Schabot-Dumoulin
Christine Nielson went above and beyond to help us in any way she could. We were very happy with her!
- Paul & Joanne Patch
Bruce Stalnaker guided me though the sale of my land professionally and with perfect results. He provided good information about the market, helped a lot with price setting which was very satisfying to me and lead negotiations with potential buyers. He helped prepare the land for sale and even offered to neat it up since I was away. I am very happy with the outcome and would not hesitate to recommend his services.
- Stefan Wisniewski
Allison Morelle and Angela Lanuto run a tight ship and are both super responsive. They listened to our wants and needs and were active partners in helping to find us more than we knew we wanted (or thought we could even find)! I highly recommend anyone looking to buy upstate whether for the first, second or third time give Allison and Angela a call, they truly make the process digestible, not to mention they follow up on all aspects of the deal to make sure that things continue to progress.
- Horton Matt
Dawn Passante is wonderful and an absolute joy to work with. She was recommended to us and we are so happy we used her. She will give her honest opinion and make sure you are happy with whatever home you purchase. Dawn was available to us when we needed her even with our crazy work schedules and living in CT. We highly recommend her and know you will be happy during your home searching process if you use Dawn!
- Christine Gelston
Athena Brown was the perfect choice when we decided to sell our home. She pays attention to details and is full of knowledge that helps ease you through the entire process. Athena was so sweet, very responsive and helped us get through the parts which could be considered stressful when selling a home with a vibe that just made you feel good. She was always willing to go that extra mile and we are so happy with the outcome of all her hard work.
- Kasey & Dave
Dawn Passante knows the market & is plugged into the community. She priced the property right and saw it through closing. Very professional.
- Michael Connors
Leslie Foti is simply the BEST. After viewing several homes with her, she wrote to us one morning with the subject line "Your next house". And she was right. She fought through other offers and wouldn't quit (meeting us several times over various weekends while 8 months pregnant, mind you) and secured our now current dream home. She kept costs down, got us several credits and even made sure the house was nicely landscaped the day we arrived to close. The entire process was not only not stressful, it was fun and easy, all thanks to her. You won't find a better agent so try to snatch her up if you can!
- Zillow User: zuser20170327101808494
Karen Sullivan was incredibly responsive, patient, savvy, no pressure. This is the second time we've gone with her as our agent, and we will continue to.

BUYER: Antonio Parrotta is a fantastic real estate agent. He is high-energy, always responsive, and very creative when it comes to visualizing a great space to live in. He will work tirelessly to find the place that is perfect for you. He doesn’t push and he’s always patient to find the place that you really love. He is hyper-focused on meeting the client’s needs and is supportive and relaxed when it comes time to make a decision. I feel so lucky to have gotten to know and work with Tony and I love the place that he helped me buy. I strongly recommend him to anyone who wants to find the perfect home to fit their desires and budget.

BUYER: I have had the pleasure of having Antonio Parrotta as my real estate agent for the past few months. After seeing a couple of other houses, Tony showed me a townhouse that immediately felt like home. Although there was another offer on the Townhouse, he encouraged me to make an offer as well; However, I got cold feet at the last minute. Over the next few weeks, I gazed, sadly, at the contingent label on the real estate sites and regretted not putting in my offer. However, shortly after, Tony reached out to let me know that the previous offer had fallen through on the townhouse and helped me, finally, put in my offer. From there, Tony helped me manage the flood of paperwork that comes along with buying a house. Additionally, he was able to get the inspection report that was done for the previous offer that had fallen through. Additionally, he corresponded with all of the necessary parties to ensure that everything progressed smoothly. Finally, on the closing date, I believe Tony was just as excited as I was to finally get me into the house. From the day I met him, Tony has been nothing but attentive, patient, and helpful. He truly went above and beyond to make sure that my first home purchase was as pain-free as possible. I’m sure it couldn’t have been easy to handle my indecisiveness as well as a barrage of questions from me, my parents, and my grandparents on a daily basis but Tony handled it all with nothing but professionalism and support. I am sincerely grateful to have had Tony’s help and guidance in the purchase of my first home. I enthusiastically recommend Tony Parrotta to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Susan Krom is very people-friendly. She went the extra mile.

BUYER: I recently purchased a home in New Paltz, NY with the help of your agent, Antonio Parrotta . I wish to commend him for his professionalism, and skill at helping me figure out what I want, then helping me find it. He was super patient and friendly. His enthusiasm for the area was truly contagious! If I was not a 100 % certain about the New Paltz area, after driving with him while he was pointing out the sites, I was sold! His persistence in investigating my dream home (it was in pre-contract with another buyer after initial viewing) was instrumental in me being able to eventually become its proud owner.
Thank you, Tony!
- Eva Gomolinski
Thank you Laurie Ylvisaker . You certainly persevered and found us the right buyer at the right time for a wonderful property that had some great attributes but also some unique challenges. You put a lot of time and effort into this and I am truly grateful.

As First time home buyers.. We moved from a too-hipsterized-for-its-own-good-Greenpoint Brooklyn NY apartment, to Beacon NY (just an hour and 15 minutes upstate, with its own Metro-North station: double YAY!), all with the help of John Summerford, and we couldn't be more thrilled!. He's been a true class act from the get go- something that most realtors are sadly lacking these days. His smiley, assertive, serene and respectful demeanor totally won us over. He was patient with us and always had something positive to say, reassuring us in our concerns or questions. The 3 of us just had a great time looking at homes, and he was always so on time , whether we met early mornings driving in from the city, or later in the day, he always had such a professional attitude, we were psyched. We ended up finding the right home here in Beacon, just what we wanted, for us and our ''fur-child''-- our adorable rescued pitbull girl! We are enjoying the incredibly beautiful Hudson Valley in all its glory--winter move and all-- No more waking up to Brooklyn BQE-Greenpoint contamination, crammed living quarters and walking the dog amongst garbage! We wake up refreshed here. Beacon is a sweet little town with a lot to offer, everybody is SO friendly here,! we are slowly discovering it all and are looking forward to hiking the trails, eating at every little restaurant, trying the local beers and come springtime, hittin' the abundant local farmers markets. John was SO good to us that we actually consider him a friend, and look forward to hanging out with him at our housewarming get together--although that may not happen until spring.....summer? --lol!- *boxes everywhere still*-- but hey-- there's room in here! haha! We even have a crawlspace! no more paying for ridiculous storage rooms! Yas! :) Thank you, John, for such a refreshing house hunting experience. We will be recommending you to family and friends for their real estate needs. You're the Man!!

Allison Morelle helped us sell our home and purchase a new home. I would not say we were difficult, but we requested to see houses in a large geographical area over the course of about a year!!! Allison was always responsive to any request we had, and more importantly, she had a positive attitude throughout it all! She found us a buyer for our home in only a few months after being listed, in part, due to many of her tips and guidance on staging, small inexpensive upgrades, and the like. She worked tirelessly on our purchase to get us to contract on an amazing home. Our family is lucky to have worked with her.
- Keith Lanzelotti
We listed our beautiful home in Plattekill, NY, for more than 9 months with another agent with very little action and NO offers. I remembered that I'd saved a mailer from another agent and we decided to give him a call. John Summerford worked patiently with us (first-time sellers). He made suggestions and listened to our concerns. We decided to sign with him and we had our first showing through him within 48 hours. That was impressive! My husband and I would highly recommend him.

After we decided it was time to sell our townhouse, we did research and asked friends to find an agent that would help us meet our goal. Real estate agents Amy Lonas and Gail Diane Cadden worked together to help us at every step of the process. They answered all our questions and were available from the first contact to the final sale.
- Carl & Francine Schaefer
Jeanine D. Stoddard was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. It was the first time we had bought a house and she put us at ease and explained the whole process to us. It was reassuring to know that she was on our side and going to help us to achieve our goal. She quickly understood the type of property we were interested in and helped us to clarify our ideas as we began to understand the market better. During negotiations and the closing process Jeanine was professional and efficient which ensured that we got the house we wanted without undue stress and wasted time. We love our new home and would thoroughly recommend working with Jeanine.
- Charlotte Young
Eric Bean is the complete package; a triple-threat: highly knowledgable of the area, patient, professional and thorough, has great taste. We'd been using Eric for a few months, and during that time, he really got a sense of what we were looking for. All his showings were very close, until we landed on "the one." Never did he waste our time with listings that didn't suit our taste and budget. If you want to see the best properties the Hudson Valley has to offer, shown by someone who appreciates the architectural history of the area, I could not more highly recommend Eric's services.
- Jon Resnik
I looked at many more houses than most do over a three year period. Mercedes Ross always made herself available to show me houses, as I came home from New Jersey on days off. She was always kind and patient. I feel very lucky to have met such a wonderful person. During closing, the inspection engineers and lawyers had the same opinion of Mercedes. She was excellent.
- Marilyn Daub
Leslie Foti was so helpful throughout the whole process. She knew exactly what we where looking for and went above and beyond to find us our dream home upstate. She has excellent knowledge and great contacts.

Mercedes Ross was great to work with start to finish. She was very knowledgeable about the market and helped us from our first visit to explore the possibility of buying a home when we didn’t know exactly where we wanted to be or what would suit our family through multiple days of viewing properties through closing on the home we bought. She worked with our schedules and helped us zero in on what we wanted in a competitive market. She was responsive and helpful with the attorneys and the bank as we moved towards closing.

As first-time buyers in an incredibly competitive market, we could not have landed our dream home without Lindsay E. Quayle's expertise. From the very beginning, she understood what we were looking for and listened carefully and patiently to all of our thoughts and concerns along the way. We felt confident in our decisions because she always provided reasonable and sound advice to help guide us. We had the best experience with Lindsay as our realtor and cannot recommend her enough for anyone looking to purchase a home in the Hudson Valley region.

Laurie Ylvisaker is one of the region's best realtors. Her reputation as a savvy, compassionate, business woman is well warranted. During our initial contact Laurie clearly outlined the marketing strategy for my home and answered my questions thoroughly and with ease. I knew from the beginning exactly what services would be paid for by the agency, and which ones I would be responsible for. Laurie was able to advise me as to arranging what I had at hand, thereby, avoiding unnecessary expenses in preparing my home for sale. She was consistently thoughtful and willing to lend a hand, especially during these crazy pandemic times. I appreciated her snagging the empty pizza box off the counter before a showing while I was prepping other areas, and dropping off a surprise gift of a potted chrysanthemum to add a splash of color to the front deck. Easy to talk to and generously available to counsel me through the stress of multiple showings and offers, I truly appreciate the hard work and dedication Laurie Ylvisaker demonstrated at every turn.

Regina Tortorella [and Aaron Joseph Perer ] helped us with an expedited sale while achieving greater than asking price. She and her team must be the best realtors I have ever dealt with. We strongly recommend Regina because of her thorough knowledge of the local market and setting the price right whether you are selling or buying.
