Thank you for stopping by my site; I am assuming you are probably interested in real estate in the Mid-Hudson Valley.

I have lived in the Mid-Hudson Valley over 24 years; it is truly a picturesque region offering not just physical beauty but also an abundance of history and culture.

The area is blessed with many top colleges attended by students from around the world, including Bard, Vassar, Marist and SUNY at New Paltz. The Valley is also home to the Culinary Institute of America which features fine dining in its five restaurants.

Each year many tourists visit historic sites such as the FDR Home and Library, Vanderbilt mansion, Mills Mansion, Montgomery Place and Clermont, to name a few.

During the last 7 years I have been helping both buyers and sellers here in the Mid-Hudson Valley with various real estate transactions.  There is a variety of architecture to choose from; with some homes dating back to the 1700's  while others are extremely contemporary.

Prior to entering real estate I worked in the telecommunications industry for many years, and the skills I acquired served me well in my real estate practice.

As a Realtor helping buyers and sellers with their real estate needs in the Counties of Dutchess,  Columbia, and Ulster, some of the services you can expect from me are:

• A list of referrals to other professional partners who will be part of the process.

 My ability to provide you with great service is no accident. I take the profession seriously and that is why I have invested time and money to acquire additional training and designations.

Thank you so much for all your help with our home buying process.  We truly appreciated your hard work, availability, and quick responses to all of our questions.  Working with you made our house search and purchase easy and enjoyable.  We would gladly refer your service to others.  Thank you, Jen and Alan L

Three weeks ago, the sale of my former home took place, and I wanted to acknowledge the assistance of my agent Jennifer Fivelsdal provided  in helping things along so well.  From the start Jennifer was prompt in responding to phone calls, emails and voice messages.  She worked amiably with the buyer's agent.  She quickly helped set a selling price that was fair, but higher than what I had in mind.  A responsible buyer made full price offer within four days!........In short, I am sure future home buyers or sellers would do well to retain this agent.  Joseph M.

Jennifer, We can't thank you enough for helping us find and buy our new home in Red Hook.  We are so happy with the house, neighborhood and general area.  Even after the seemingly insurmountable disappointment when the deal on our original choice fell through, your dedication and perseverance in finding us a better home was unwavering.  The calls you took from us while you and your family were on vacation went beyond the call of duty.  We never forget your patience and kindness.  Just knowing we could count on you for local refferals made our transition so much easier.  Your advice has proven to be invaluable.  Our beautiful refinished floors never would have been completed in such a timely fashion without your help.  Your continuing thoughtfulness , kindness, friendship and follow through are very much appreciated.  You just seem to know what to do or say to lower stress levels.  Also we will never forget your friendly visits with pastry, a kind word and the lovely house warming gift.  You are truly an asset ,and we are very thankful for all you did.  With our gratitude and friendship.  Marilyn and Jim M

Jennifer we have to say we couldn't have picked a better Realtor.  You definitely set the bar high for others to follow.  I am sure we will never have someone as wonderful as you.  A few long distance phone calls to you while on vacation and you put our house on the market, had an open house, had it on-line and we had offers and it was sold before we even made it home.  Amazing!  not only that but you truly went above the call of duty.........thanks again for the gift basket as we were leaving.   Heidi and Daryl G
