Addison’s thirst for Real Estate began in her home state of Ohio while working for a private investment firm, assisting with buying and managing multiple properties. Now living as a resident to Dutchess County, Addison brings her warmth and charm in hospitality locally. 

Addison obtained her NYS Real Estate License in 2022. Combining the discipline and loyalty obtained through her military services with the Air Force, and her 5 years providing quality customer service skills to her clients and tenants, Addison brings another level of professionalism to the firm and the properties we manage. 

Addison’s background consists of short-term rentals, hospitality and property management. She not only brings a  warmth to everyone she meets, she provides a thoughtful level of service to all, not only the investors we work with  but with the community in helping them find a place to not just be a place to rent, but a place to call “home”. 

Her strong work ethic and pride she puts into each and every property, shines not only through the property themselves,  but through the people she has encountered as well..
