“Ricky is the the best realtor in the area, he is of the highest integrity, he knows his stuff, and I found myself looking to him immediately when I didn't understand something about the home buying process or even after the purchase, things like what trash service to use - he helped with all of it. When we looked at homes he pointed things out I never thought to look for, he was very responsive and always got back to me the same day. He had great recommendations for services like inspectors and knows what everyone in the area offers. He is honest and fair, and worked with my somewhat unique situation to make things fair for all parties. I would buy a home with Ricky again, and will sell my home with Ricky. There's no one better!”

“Nicole was amazing throughout the entire process. We looked at so many different houses before finally finding the one we chose, and she never rushed us. She made everything simple and easy—especially as first-time buyers—and she was incredibly informative the whole way through. She consistently sent us listings that matched all of our criteria, always made us feel comfortable, and was never distant or hard to reach. Her personality and attitude were excellent, and I truly have no negative remarks. Perfect all around.”

Learn more about what Rensselaer County has to offer.

Rensselaer County offers residents a welcoming blend of close-knit communities, abundant outdoor recreation, diverse educational and cultural opportunities, and steady local economies that foster a high quality of life.

Rensselaer County balances Hudson River vistas, forested uplands, and lively, walkable downtowns with an education and tech engine that punches above its weight. On the riverfront, Troy showcases 19th‑century architecture, a thriving food scene, and year‑round events, while Rensselaer offers quick rail access and an easy commute to Albany just across the water. Head east and you’ll find small‑town warmth in East Greenbush and Hoosick Falls, where neighborhoods range from classic village streets to wooded cul‑de‑sacs.

Outdoor time is effortless here. Families flock to Grafton Lakes State Park for swimming, paddling, fishing, and groomed winter trails, with additional hiking and quiet lakes at Cherry Plain State Park and along the Albany‑Hudson Electric Trail. Historic sites, from farmsteads to battlefields, frame weekend adventures amid covered bridges and valley views.

Schools are a standout. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute anchors a regional innovation corridor and fuels internships and startups, while Hudson Valley Community College offers career pathways and transfer programs. K–12 districts such as East Greenbush and Averill Park are known for strong academics, arts, and athletics, supporting everything from STEM clubs to championship teams.

Housing spans brick rowhouses, river‑view condos, farmhouse colonials, and new construction, with prices often more approachable than across the river. Whether you’re eyeing a downtown loft or a country acre, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local expert who knows the neighborhoods, market trends, and the best strategies for both buying and selling.
