Henry Hudson came up the Hudson River and found what so may buyers are looking for. Beautiful country and moutain views, lush green vistas, clear ponds and running streams, safety and privacy, a wonderful place to lay claim to. I retired for a whole month after working in my own retail business for 32 years. After the Honey do list was done I knew people and a schedule of office structure was what I was going to miss. I got my license and then got my broker license and haven't stopped since. In March I sold the largest property in our office ever. $2,300,000!!!!!! And at the closing everyone stood up and clapped for me. It was a 16 month venture that I learned more than any class could ever teach. I am President of our local Business Association and on the Board of our local Library, plus a member of our Chamber of Commerce. Patience and perserverence are two traits I come to the table with and honesty has always been part of my character. Don't miss out on a great experience with me when your buying that first or second home. Columbia County has alot to offer. Some of it is tucked away behind those great views and vistas and if you can't wake Rip Van Winkle the Amtrak to Manhattan is only a short trip away. Hope to hear from you soon. Bill
