Three standout sales. Three results worth celebrating.

From a property on Upper St. Regis Lake selling for nearly $1 million over asking, to a Mirror Lake home going under contract in less than a month, to achieving the highest residential sale on record in Wilmington—these recent closings are a testament to the expertise, strategy, and dedication our agents bring to the table.

A well-deserved congratulations to Caroline Rupp, Nicholas S. Politi and Whit Bissell, for delivering exceptional results for their sellers.

Behind every successful sale is thoughtful positioning, strategic marketing, skilled negotiation, and a deep understanding of the Adirondack real estate market.

Considering selling? Let our experience work for you.
