WARNING: Avoid this place…read more If you can make it past the ugly horse paintings in the window, you'll encounter the most obnoxious people I've ever met. They rarely returned my phone calls and treated me with very little respect. Rude, rude, rude. The broker I met with seemed to care very little about whether or not I was comfortable with the property. She was obviously eager to get a deal done and shove me out the door. For me, this place typifies everything that is wrong with the real estate business. The broker I met with was cold, unfriendly, aggressive, loud, irritating, and frankly, seemed to be totally out of tune with the real estate market in Beacon. I strongly recommend you look elsewhere.

Jon seems to think that yelling at women and harassing them is acceptable…read more His broker was one hour late because she forgot about my appointment. (I drove 2 hours from out of state). She knew nothing about the apartment and landlord. Before signing the lease Jon told me that the landlord was good about repairs and he was a client for 20 years. It turned out that the landlord refused to perform all repairs! I had to pay out of my own pocket. The oven did not work. The glass was separating from the rotting window frames allowing cold air to come in. The vent in the closet size bathroom with no window did not work, welcoming profuse MOLD growth. The built-in credenza reeked of old mold! Permeating the living room. I have been renting for 40 years and I have never had such a bad landlord! On top of it I caught him staring at me a few times through my windows while exiting the bathroom in a towel. I wrote a letter to JonCar Realty with a list of 13 needed repairs. He called me up, yelled at me and told me that I HAD to move out in two months! And I had signed a one year lease. What he did to me was illegal! On the day of my move Jon Miller, his real name, phoned me and screamed at me repeatedly that it was against the law to move on the last day of the month! (The landlord had approved it and Jon's name was not on the lease as the property management agent.) He kept screaming at me to finish my move within 2 hours because he was to inspect the property for the landlord and he was finishing his work at five. In summary, Jon Miller, the proprietor of JonCar Realty, took my money and refused to reimburse me for poor service, refused to help me find a better apartment, was verbally abusive, and harassed me.

And they would only accept bank checks that had to be sent by express, certified mail (more fees I had to pay). They told me there was a rush because they had other people interested in the place, but the other people had children and they did not want to rent the apartment to people with children. I only found out later (after signing the lease) that the apartment was owned by the realtor's family. So they are just funneling money from one family member to the other. The whole thing seemed sketchy to me. Since there are many other realtors in the area, I would definitely recommend staying away from this realty office.

I met Emma and her team in September of 2016. My mother passed away and she had an enormous amount…read moreof clothes, furniture, hats, purses, you name it, etc. I was beyond overwhelmed and had no idea how to get rid of it. Through my mother's realtor I was put into contact with someone from "Things You Love Events". Emma called me and reassured me that her team would come in and set up in 4 days and the Estate Sale would be Friday through Sunday. I thought this was impossible to set up in four days since I was doing it for 9 months but they actually BLEW ME AWAY in the first day. I thought I walked into an antique store. Everything was organized and contents were priced right. The Estate sale went smoothly, the team were on top of things and the majority of my mother's estate was moved out seamlessly. I recommend Emma, Anthony and Kari to handle your Estate or moving sale hands down. They were fun, down to earth, personable, understanding and I loved them. I loved them so much I had another liquidation sale that I thought couldn't move and they banged it out!!! They $@#'ing Rock!!! Valentina

As first time homebuyers moving up from the city to the Hudson Valley, along with the incredibly…read moredifficult market and our limited budget, Michele was the GREATEST realtor you could ask for. She quickly became more than a realtor to us, but a friend (okay, maybe even a cool aunt!), who supported us each and every step of the way. We hit MANY roadblocks of course due to the popularity of the Beacon area, and Michele was always a quick communicator and an instant problem solver! She's lived in the area her whole life, but most importantly, she's a total POWERHOUSE! Never afraid to fight for you as the buyer and speak up - and a master negotiator when you're nearing the finish line. And lastly, Michele is PATIENT - It took us a year to find our perfect home, and there was never one moment where I felt rushed into making a decision, or that I couldn't keep looking or take a break when we needed it. She happily accepted our endless phone calls, late night texts, and always made the time to check-in. She knows what it takes to get a home in this area, and that it's never a simple process. And now that we are finally moved into our home, we cannot WAIT to have Michele over for dinner! If you are lucky enough to have Michele as your realtor, all I can say is that you are in good hands!

We had a really amazing experience buying our first home with Leslie from Houlihan Lawrence. We…read moretrusted her completely from the start, and the she was so helpful every step of the way. Specifically: - We were living 100 miles away from where we were buying, and she was so accommodating with scheduling sometimes 7 showings in one day for us since she knew coming up to town wasn't easy for us. - We initially weren't 100% sure of the exact town we wanted to end up in, so in the beginning she was happy to show us around houses in Garrison, Cold Spring, Beacon, and the surrounding areas. She never made us feel like a nuisance or inconvenience. - She was super knowledgable - everything from "you'd want to ask an inspector about this boiler" to general town information to the specifics of the home-buying process. She also provided us with contact info for some local professional services, but was not "salesy" in doing so. All of her tips felt genuine with no pressure. - She was very patient and positive. The home we landed on was a renovation in-progress, so the process from contract to closing was a bit long and complicated. But she stayed dedicated, available, and helpful every step of the way. She went to the town several times to check on documentation, contacted sellers many times for progress updates to share, and informed us of important info we should ask about from our lawyer. She even checked in on us after closing to make sure we were settling in comfortably. All together, Leslie from Houlihan Lawrence made buying our first home much simpler and more enjoyable than we had expected and we are so grateful to her! Attentive, knowledgeable, patient, and empathetic... we highly recommend any buyers/sellers work with her.
