    About Laurel Lustgarten

    Laurel Lustgarten has been a full time realtor since 2003 and a resident of the Hudson Valley since 1994. Her high level of energy, enthusiasm and market knowledge is the perfect combination to bring a successful outcome whether you are buying or selling a home. Having built a reputation for client satisfaction, Laurel is devoted to providing service beyond your expectations. A recurring theme in her online reviews is that her clients feel they not only had an outstanding experience but her authentic nature made them feel as though they were working with a friend and a steadfast ally through the process. Building relationships is key! Laurel's commitment to her business and to her clients recently caught the attention of a national television network and she had the privilege of being featured in an episode of House Hunters on HGTV. This was the first time the show was filmed in the Hudson Valley. Neither Laurel nor her buyer clients will ever forget this experience and the show is still airing in reruns! In fact, there may be another episode in her future. Another career highlight was the thrill of being selected as top realtor in the Reader's Choice "Best of the Best" Awards. This contest is sponsored by the Times Herald Record and starts with a public nomination followed by two online rounds of voting and the announcement that she was chosen number one! What a special and humbling recognition. Laurel has also enjoyed being part of the elite group of real estate professionals recognized as America's Top 100 Real Estate Agents and becoming a Rand Realty Legend in 2022.

    Laurel Lustgarten is a fantastic real estate agent. She sold my house in record time, and held my hand through the staging, the negotiations and the messy closing. Laurel fixed other people's mistakes, and saw to my best interests, Laurel treated me "special" even though my house was not a million dollar deal. I am recommending her services to all my friends.

    Laurel was amazing from start to finish. She knew the market and priced our house accordingly. Not only did we get asking but 30k above. We were more than pleased, every thing went smoothly from start to finish. Her expertise was invaluable.

    We had the absolute best experience working with Laurel Lustgarten! As first-time home buyers, we had a lot of questions and uncertainties, but Laurel was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always available to explain every detail clearly. She made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We hit a few bumps along the way aEUR" another offer came in right before we went under contract, some issues popped up during the inspection, and even the final walk-through had surprises aEUR" but Laurel was on top of everything from start to finish. She went above and beyond to advocate for us, even writing a thoughtful email to the sellers explaining why they should stick with our offer. Thanks to her professionalism, persistence, and care, we ended up in our dream home. We cant recommend Laurel highly enough. If youre buying or selling a home, especially if its your first time, you definitely want her on your side!

When I first met Laurel I knew she was the agent who would sell my home. Boy was I right! Within 6 days on the market, I had multiple offers. Her 20+years experience make her an asset to her profession. She exhibits confidence, positivity and has a pleasant and easy-going personality. Her communication skills are excellent. Every time I had questions or concerns, I would call or email her, and she would respond quickly. She also kept me informed on each step of the selling process. Her personal tips on how to stage your home were helpful. Laurel's marketing skills are strategic and efficient. She is successful in using different platforms to advertise the home. She understands the local market and provides valuable insights. Her negotiation skills are perceptive and honest. Laurel made this process stress free. Her work ethic is superb, and she cares about the interest of her clients. I highly recommend her. You wont be disappointed!

    Laurel was amazing! From the minute we met her we knew she was our realtor. Her knowledge of the area and coat analysis was spot on. The entire process with her guidance went smoothly. We are beyond thrilled with the results. Thanks to Laurel we closed within 6 weeks which is not the norm.
