THE ADIRONDACKS:
A Place Like No Other
LIFE IS DIFFERENT
When lived surrounded by pristine wilderness.
On foot and on skis, and on my boat and bicycle, I have explored many of the Adirondacks’ 2,000 miles of trails, 3,000 lakes and ponds, and 100 towns. People are drawn to the Adirondacks not only for their natural beauty and respite from urban living, but also to become part of the vibrant communities here.
While every client’s needs are different, nearly all of them have this in common: a love of the Adirondacks. When helping my clients acquire properties, I am helping them achieve a lifestyle and the opportunity live in a spectacular place.
BUYING A HOME
For clients buying a home, I will set up listing search alerts and give advice concerning taxes, market conditions, financing, and rental laws
Further, I will provide superior negotiation, a purchase agreement for your attorney, my presence at inspections and appraisals, and frequent communication with you and your attorney.
SELLING A HOME
For clients selling a home, I will prepare a detailed comparative market analysis and overview of your property
I’ll provide advice on how best to prepare your home to sell, extensive marketing and targeted advertising, superior negotiation, the best price possible, and a purchase agreement contract prepared for your attorney.
HOME VALUATION
For clients desiring home valuation, I will send a value report and market analysis of your property with no obligation
The process can be as simple as answering a few questions over the phone and emailing photos of your property, or we can schedule an appointment in your home determine the features of and improvements to your property that will bring you the best possible price.

It is my job to ensure that they actually get what they want – the best price, valuable advice, trouble-shooting, and a smooth transaction.

I enjoy working with local clients and those from around the country to assure a smooth buying or selling experience.
Seven days a week, I list and show properties, and stay in close communication with my clients, other offices and agents, lenders, and attorneys. I invite you to read about my clients’ experiences here.

FOR SALE
FEATURED PROPERTIES
New properties go on the market every day, and the listings on this site are current and comprehensive for Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, Ray Brook, Wilmington, Keene, Keene Valley, Jay, and Upper Jay.
As you search for your spot in the Adirondacks, keep in mind that properties are selling quickly and often at asking price or above. I am happy to provide detailed information on any listing and set up a showing.
RECENT SALES
Home sales are swift in our region. I have put under contract or closed 45 properties in 2021, and more are closing every week.
High demand has created a seller’s market, resulting in multiple offers and quick contracts.
This benefits my clients who are selling, yet in this fierce market it is essential to list at the right price, advertise broadly, and navigate strategically. For my clients who are buying, information and preparation are key to being ready to make an offer on a desirable property, sometimes as quickly as the day it is listed.
