Because we split our time between the city and country, we maintain connections to a vast audience of city-based buyers many of whom we meet in-person. This direct connection gives us a keen understanding of what city dwellers want and are willing to pay for a particular home which ultimately helps us to price homes appropriately.
When selling a home, you want to reach the maximum number of eyeballs which ultimately translates to potentially more money in your pocket. Via multiple distribution channels, we reach a vast audience of potential buyers including:
For each property, we develop a customized marketing approach that highlights the specific aspects of a property that we know will appeal to city dwellers. This generates maximum interest and positions it to sell at the highest price possible.
As a former lawyer at Kramer Levin as well as a long-time contributor to the Huffington Post, I understand how to craft a compelling yet succinct narrative. Conveying the 'why' behind your home can make a big difference in whether potential buyers respond to your listing.
As the only boutique agency based in Accord and one of the few in the Catskills, we support various local charities. And all of the money that we earn goes directly back into the local communities where we live, work and play.
Access to the national S&E network means your listing reaches buyers in markets you cannot touch otherwise. And because the properties we represent are typically some of the highest value in the Catskills + Hudson Valley, they are regularly featured and disseminated to the Compass Luxury clients, another exclusive list of buyers.
Thinking About Selling?
Once you've completed the seller questionnaire, we'll schedule a time to visit your home and answer any questions you may have about the market and the selling process. Shortly thereafter, you'll receive a detailed listing proposal.
We’ll share ways to maximize the purchase price and ensure a smooth transaction. This may include repairs and aesthetic changes that have a direct impact on the quality of the listing and the buyers which it ultimately attracts. We can also connect you with Compass Concierge, which fronts the cost of home improvements with nothing due until closing.
Once listed, our scheduling app will keep you informed of showing requests in real-time. We also regularly host open houses to give us the opportunity to speak directly to potential buyers. Of course, during this time we'll work around your schedule.
Once offers start to roll in, we'll help you understand the terms and ultimately decide which offer is the best to achieve your particular goals.
Once you've accepted an offer, the buyer will arrange for an inspection. Should any issues arise, the buyer may request repairs/credits, all of which we'll help you navigate and negotiate.
Once inspection is complete, we'll introduce you to local attorneys that will negotiate and finalize the contract. As the transaction moves from signing to closing, we'll be with you every step of the way and will help shepherd the transaction to closing.
With all of the market uncertainty, it's hard to know if it's a good time to sell. While the national real estate picture looks somewhat bleak, we're still in a low-inventory environment in the Catskills and there is still plenty of demand from city dwellers looking for an upstate escape.
The Fresh Air Team, based in Accord, NY and affiliated with Compass, consistently outperforms the rest of the market in days on market, list to sale price ratio and closed vs expired listings. It's one of the reasons the Fresh Air Team is ranked the #1 boutique real estate team in the Catskills and Hudson Valley (based on Google Reviews).
The Fresh Air Team's average days on market regularly outperforms almost every other team in the upstate market. In 2026, for most of its residential listings, the Fresh Air team averaged just 24 days on market before an accepted offer. The YTD industry average in the Catskills and Hudson Valley as of August 2026 was approximately 90 days.
The Fresh Air Team regularly achieves a higher list-to-sale price ratio and close rate (listings that don't expire) than almost any other boutique team in the Catskills and Hudson Valley.
The Fresh Air Team markets listings across various distribution channels including via its 13,000+ Instagram followers, a newsletter with over 5,000+ buyer-focused subscribers, 50,000+ monthly website visits, and access to Compass's national Sports & Entertainment network and Compass Luxury client lists, as well as via social media influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers.
Yes. The Fresh Air Team can connect sellers with Compass Concierge, which fronts the cost of pre-listing home improvements with nothing due until closing.
The process includes a home visit and valuation, pre-listing preparation, staging and styling, professional photography and videography, showing management once listed, offer review and analysis, inspection negotiation and shepherds transactions from contract through closing.
