This past Saturday from 2-6PM, I participated in wrapping holiday gifts to raise money for our Relay for Life Team, which benefits the American Cancer Society. We were stationed at the Galleria at Crystal Run in Middletown, New York. There were 6 of us all together, all agents from our office here in Pine Bush. Sue Jackson, Barbara Howland, Renee DeGroat, Ray Zwart and Sarah Berger all helped out. I am not the best "wrapper" so I ran for supplies and also tried to recruit more customers. We had one person bring us about 5 or 6 gifts and tell us that he would be back with more. We ended up wrapping about 16 gifts for him all together. He was our best customer. We had some other very generous people who paid more than necessary and asked us to donate it. We also had several cancer survivors. We raised close to $300 for our Relay for Life team and we had a good time doing it. It helped all of us to get into the holiday spirit. There was another team that came to relieve us at 6PM and there will be others throughout the week. Good luck to everyone and thanks to all who supported us!
This is a wonderful community event and if you are going to be in the area, you should consider stopping by. Events like this are what help to make the Pine Bush area such a wonderful place to be. I realize that we may not be ready for Christmas, but we better get ready, because it is coming! Santa will be there, so do not forget to bring your camera.

We would like to thank you and the RJ Smith Realty team for all that you did towards the sale of the family property. Deciding to sell was a difficult decision for my parents. They felt that they could ask your opinion, and they valued your judgment. In the beginning they resisted your suggestions of a "For Sale" sign, but as soon as one appeared, we began to see a high rate of traffic. In a short time the right person fell in love with the property, and the closng process began. eaving everything in our hands gave them a feeling of confidence. Once againk, thank you and R.J. Smith for your excellent service to our family.

At 83 years old I was faced with selling my home in Sullivan County. This was a very emotional time for me. My husband and I purchased our home in 1950 and had many memories in this home. Now I found myself being alone and not being able to take care of the home and didn't want to be a burden on anyone for help.
At the urging of a friend, I contacted RJ Smith Realty and worked with Sue J.. Sue J. helped me out from start to finish. She is a very compassionate and honest realtor. She made this transition a very smooth one. She was able to find the perfect buyer that would appreciate the home like I had. From the start of the sale to the final day she showed great responsibility, knowledge and integrity. I would hope that you are as lucky to find her and work with her. The sale of your home will be the smoothest possible.

I haven't worked with Sue J. on a sale of any real estate, but she has been very instrumental in helping the senior citizens with their housing needs. She has worked hard promoting Schulyer Crossing Senior Complex and is now working on additional senior housing needs with builders, the town and seniors. If you have any questions the seniors know that Sue J. has time to answer or find out the answer - you can call on her.
Sue J. also delivers meals on wheels to myself and other seniors. It is great to see her face weekly just to say hello or ask her questions. She is a great asset to the community. Mrs. Babby
