Joseph Satto
Joseph Satto has lived between two worlds for more than 14 years, a DUMBO apartment and a property in Accord, and that dual life is the foundation of everything he does professionally. He understands what city buyers are looking for in an upstate escape because he was one and he understands what they’re willing to pay because he’s watched that market evolve from inside it for over 14 years.
Before real estate, he spent 17 years as a transactional attorney at Kramer Levin, representing hedge funds and investment banks in complex financial negotiations. That background is not incidental to his real estate practice, it’s the engine of it. The way he examines a property, structures an offer, evaluates risk and negotiates a deal reflects a career built on high-stakes transactions, not a career learning on the job.
Today his practice is focused on the luxury end of the Catskills and Hudson Valley market, where his team has generated over $375M in sales volume and built a reputation for delivering outcomes that other brokers said weren’t achievable. His clients include high-net-worth buyers and sellers, including a growing roster of clients from entertainment, media, finance, and the sports world through his membership in the Compass Sports & Entertainment Division, an elite group of 175 agents selected nationally for demonstrated expertise and discretion.
He also operates as a licensed broker in Nosara, Costa Rica, where Fresh Air represents buyers in one of the world’s most compelling lifestyle real estate markets.
