As first-time homebuyers, we needed an agent that could help us navigate the process at every turn — and Arlena was exactly that. She was always cool, calm, and collected, even when things got tricky with the sellers. She answered all our emails quickly and insightfully along the way. Her great knowledge of the Hudson Valley market — not to mention places to eat and drink in the area — was a huge benefit. We're so glad we worked with Arlena! -Tom & Danny

She confidently guided me through the purchasing process from beginning to end. Now being s... read more

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Arlena!

Her curated appro... read more

So, imagine a property - 20 acres or so, old farmhouse (fully modernized), guest house, barns and outbuildings, fields, woods and pastures…with a small creek as its border. Now imagine that it’s been kept in the family and hasn’t been on the open market in 80 years. Dream come true? Agent’s challenge? Right. Our place went a year on the market with basically no interest. And then we met Arlena. She listed a local commercial building and presented it beautifully. Lovingly, even. Her photographs and description brought us righ... read more
