Susan DeFord

Real Estate Salesperson

Business is all about relationships, and relationships are all about trust. It is my goal to take the time to build a strong, trusting relationship with every client.

Before embarking on my real estate career, I owned a dog walking and dog training business in Brooklyn for 15 years. My employees and I took care of more than a hundred pets a day as if they were our own. Through dog training I was able to help improve the lives of many dogs and their people. I valued relationships over profit, and I became one of the most respected and trusted people in the local community. After several years of weekending in the Hudson Valley and Catskill regions, my husband and I fell in love with the natural beauty of the mountains and streams, artist communities, culture, and culinary excellence of the area. We decided to take a leap of faith and move our lives and livelihoods upstate. During the process of selling my home in Brooklyn and buying a wonderful home on seven acres in Catskill, I became fascinated with real estate.

I am thrilled to be a part of the Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty team. We put our emphasis on personal attention and an extremely sophisticated web and social media presence. I hope that you will get to know me and my work ethic, humor, creativity, and resourcefulness and that together we can work to find your perfect home and have some fun doing it. I look forward to being of service.
