I grew up on a horse farm in the Kingston/Stone Ridge area that was created from an old farm house with lots of acreage. The weekends were all about work to build the farm, but the satisfaction was incredible. Having learned this at a very early age, thereby was born my love for real estate and an ongoing appreciation for the pleasures of country living.
I still live on part of the old family farm and have created a gentlemen’s (gentlewoman’s?) horse farm of my own. I feel fortunate to have been able to choose the life I wanted for myself in the Hudson Valley. My family and my horses are of course my first love, but real estate is a close second.
Real estate comes naturally to me. My lifelong ties to this area, my own professional work history including appraising, a few renovations/flips, plus many years in listing and selling properties all add up to a very satisfying life. My real estate transactions are many but so are the good friends and acquaintances that have come from them.
