Data gathered from Greater Hudson Valley MLS.
George Washington slept here and it is home to the oldest winery in the country. However, there is no connection between the two ... Orange County, NY, established 1683.
So, for what is Orange County known?
Okay ... back to George:
Oh! And this is the Orange County that is home to Orange County Choppers!
But I prefer my Harley (although I ride only on the back seat).
We might not be the most famous, but we are original!

Know your market and price it right. Real Estate is LOCAL. The number of homes sold and average sale price vary from town to town, village to village and hamlet to hamlet. 
With statistical information from the Greater Hudson Valley Multiple Listing Service, your Realtor is your best source of local housing information.
Newspaper and TV reports offer generalized information, and are not accurate in depicting a snapshot of the market in your neighborhood. Incorrect pricing is the number one reason homes do not sell.
Coming in at the number two slot … curb appeal. You want potential buyers to come through the door when they arrive at your home … not flee to their cars. :(
And remember the inside! Your goal is to have buyers envision themselves living in your home, and it should be in tip-top condition.
Your Realtor can help you view your home more objectively … through a buyer’s eyes. After all, we are comfortable in our own homes, and it is not always easy to see them as others might. Contact a Realtor as soon as you decide to sell. Avoid that overwhelming feeling of “where do I start”!

Think about it ... If no new building materials and energy resources have to be used in a home, we are one step ahead. 
More and more, we see renovation companies thinking green and helping homeowners improve the energy efficiency of their older homes.
This can mean more affordable homes for homebuyers who recognize a good thing when they see one and know they can upgrade the home they buy at their own pace.
Green does not always have to mean new. And think about where all that material goes when we tear down older homes, and the accompanying costs to transport debris from a building site.
Older homes have some benefits as well ... mature trees.
I had lost a 100-foot pine (split by lightning), only to discover that it was placed perfectly as a wind block. So aside from losing the beauty of the tree, I now have the wind beating against my home.
Sometimes, you find surprises too ... like learning those lovely old windows do not have to be replaced because you have the original storms. The air barrier created between the window and the storm is energy efficient ... just make sure that caulking is still in tact. Once you buy an existing home, look at those parts of your home that can be made more energy efficient, for example,
And an added perk ... you may have just saved a bit of architectural history :)

Real estate is about people. Matching a buyer to a seller is as important as matching that buyer to a home. My goal is that perfect match.
Each buyer desires a home within his or her means, one of a particular style, built in a certain manner, preferably in a convenient and desirable location...while a seller attaches both a monetary and personal value to a property. When a buyer, seller and property meet, a unique set of variables surface from which a constant may emerge - a meeting of the minds. To this end, I integrate my education, experience and knowledge into every aspect of the real estate process.
"I view real estate across a broad range of disciplines. Real estate is about business, art, science, history...but mainly, it's about people. Matching a buyer to a seller is as important as matching that buyer to a home. For both parties, it's useful to understand the process ahead, which is why I'm adamant about providing clients with an overview and educating them thoroughly as we go through the steps in their purchase or a sale. Buying or selling a home can be overwhelming, but taking apart the process piece by piece makes it less so. I also enjoy explaining how various economic influences can affect the market, which is a vital element in the mix."
For me, real estate is truly an energizing second career. As a librarian, I've held several administrative positions, mainly at academic libraries, ultimately reaching my goal to direct a library. I served in supervisory positions at New York Public Library Research Libraries and Columbia University Business School Library, plus was in senior management at Columbia University Law School Library, an assistant library director at George Washington University Law School, and an associate library director at Brooklyn Law School. Service has always been my business, with my previous profession a great learning ground for my seasoned marketing experience. If you can market a library successfully in the age of the Internet, retaining its position as you ensure that services evolve, you sure know how to market!
A native of Manhattan who currently resides in Cornwall, NY, I earned a BA in Art and Education from Hunter College and an MS in Library Science from Columbia University. Most recently, I completed course work for an MBA at Mount Saint Mary College, where I also directed the library upon moving to Orange County. My main interests include historic preservation and art. I am a member of the National Association of Realtors, New York State Association of Realtors, Orange County Association of Realtors, as well as the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

During my years in real estate thus far, I realize that my "specialty," per se, has nothing to do with a property type or neighborhood location. Rather, it's all about service, and satisfying my clients' diversity of unique needs no matter where they lie. Whether I'm searching for one's dream home, marketing a prized property, staging for presentation appeal or negotiating for the best price, I give my all to getting the best results possible. My home staging consultation is free to clients. I serve Orange County, New York and specialize in Cornwall, New York and the surrounding area.
Marie Meyer is a wonderful real estate agent: intuitive, sympathetic, endlessly patient, honest, never pushy or too talkative, and with a good sense of humor. Perhaps most importantly, she has a strong sense of ethics and integrity, and puts her clients' interests first. We highly recommend her. Michael and Julie P., Shrub Oak, NY
My experience with Marie Meyer was superb! She was detail oriented, and quick to respond to my telephone messages and other demands. I particularly appreciate the fact that I could trust her to have the information I needed at hand, and to follow through in a timely fashion. I was delighted with her services. She was always very professional, and it was a pleasure working with her. I recommend her services without reservation. John F., Cornwall, NY
