About

Built on real estate experience, strategy, and loyalty to clients.

I’m a real estate professional focused on helping clients make confident, strategic decisions in the Finger Lakes market.

My experience goes beyond just transactions—I understand how to evaluate opportunities, structure deals, and position clients to succeed in competitive situations. Whether it’s buying, selling, or investing, every move is approached with a clear plan and purpose.

I treat every client relationship like a team effort. That means consistent communication, strong negotiation, and a commitment to putting your interests first from start to finish. The goal isn’t just to close a deal—it’s to make sure it’s the right one.

Outside of real estate, I’m a U.S. Army Veteran, husband, and father. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll likely find me on the golf course or flying.

Client Results

Real experiences from clients across the Finger Lakes.

“Seth was very responsive from our first inquiry and gave us strong insight into the local market. He helped us navigate the purchase and negotiate effectively. We’d highly recommend Seth to anyone buying or selling in the Finger Lakes.”

Seneca Lake · $1.3M Sale

“There are not enough stars to give Seth. From day one he brought real expertise—market knowledge, deal structure, and local insight. He kept everything moving, communicated consistently, and made a complex commercial purchase feel effortless. If you want someone who truly looks out for your interests, Seth is your guy.”

Keuka Lake · $1.2M Motel Purchase

“Seth helped us buy our first home while my husband was deployed. He was knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. We couldn’t recommend him more—especially for military families.”

First-Time Buyer · Penn Yan

“In one of the most competitive markets in the Finger Lakes, Seth negotiated well below asking and secured our dream home. That outcome wouldn’t have happened without his expertise and reputation locally. His investment insight was just as valuable as his negotiation.”

Who I Work Best With

The right fit makes all the difference.

Buyers who want a strategy, not just access to homes
Sellers who care about positioning, not just putting a sign in the yard
Investors looking for real opportunities, not just listings
Clients who value communication, trust, and a team approach

If you’re looking for someone to just unlock doors, I’m probably not the right fit.

If you want someone in your corner, we’ll get along just fine.
