From Our Clientele

We Let Them Do The Talking

"For me, there's no question if I ever decide to sell the current house we just bought, there's no question who I would go to."

Jeff G.
Buyer & Seller

"They took a lot of time to study the product to make sure they were presenting the product in, in not only a very positive way, but a very honest way. We've had friends that were selling homes and we told 'em, are you kidding me? If you don't go to MyUpstateHome, you're not dealing with the best realtors in the area."

Joe L.
Seller

"With Cate and Tom, there is a sense of serenity. We don't worry about it. We don't wake up at night worried, what are they gonna do?! What's gonna happen?! Cate and Tom have our backs. We chat like family. And that's the real estate agent you want. The agents who are just in it for the transaction, that’s too common. My Upstate Home is rare!"

Michael C.
Buyer & Seller

"He was always there to help in any way, and his real estate brokerage just did amazing job. I can't say enough about My Upstate Home. They go above and beyond."

Michael F.
Buyer & Seller

"I think other people that would deal with My Upstate Home would find exactly what we found because I've seen how they actually work with others. We weren't just special. They treat all their customers the way that they treated us, which is fabulous."
