We were in the stressful position with trying to time selling our current house and finding a new house to move in to. We worked with Caren with purchasing a home, and we could not be happier with the level of service she provided. We eventually ended up in Dutchess county, but we also saw properties in Putnam and Westchester counties. Caren was extremely knowledgeable of all of the areas that we wanted to see, and was extremely accommodating even though we kept changing our area of search. Caren was very candid providing opinions on schools, neighborhoods, restaurants, etc. She provided both good and bad opinions, which we really appreciated as we knew she wasnt just trying to make a sale. She was available at all time, and responded to messages very quickly. She even responded to us while she was on vacation with her family which we did not expect her to do. She worked around our schedules very well, and took us to showings on weekday evenings and weekends. This was our second home purchase, so we had some experience with the process, but Caren was still able to provide us with valuable advice on just about every aspect of buying a home. If youre looking to buy (or sell) in the Hudson Valley, Caren is the person you should talk to.
