Born and raised in Ulster County, I believe the areas rich history and beauty make it an attractive place to live. Presently, I am the Broker/Owner of Looking Glass Realty, LLC. My association with the real estate industry began about 18 years ago when my wife and I started building a new home. She began working in a real estate office and I got to know many of the agents in the area. Prior to becoming a real estate professional, I ran my own technology company, providing hardware and software planning services to the banking, government and education institutions in the area. I have 30+ years experience in the computer software and connectivity industry. My business experiences will complement and help you in the processes involved in purchasing or selling a home. My approach to assisting you with your real estate needs is to listen to you, and to educate you on current market conditions, helping you make sound decisions. It is important to work together to bring the results you expect. When choosing a Realtor you considered their proximity to the areas of your search, their knowledge and ability to easily service your needs. You should also consider a local lending institution and attorney that know the areas customs and works well with your local Realtor. This leads to a smoother transaction and less anxiety during the purchase process. Buying and selling a home is a big deal, and building one from the bottom up is even bigger. I can help you every step of the way.
