The company is led by second-generation broker Geoff Green and chairman, Vikki Garby. Green grew up around her parents’ real estate brokerage business and began her real estate career in the commercial sector, working for Pyramid Management Group, a mall developer in New York and Massachusetts. In 2005, he briefly joined his father’s residential brokerage in Goshen, NY, before opening his full-service company in Warwick, NY, in 2006. Garby began his career in investment banking and investment real estate, leveraging his experience to transition into a real estate sales career in 2015.

New York’s Hudson Valley and New Jersey’s Vernon Township are surrounded by mountains, lakes and farms, offering old-fashioned country with a modern twist. Nearby Appalachian trails make this a year-round hotspot with plenty of hiking opportunities. The area is also popular with skiers and boaters. The town center village of Warwick gives a touch of the town with many restaurants and shops, while many large farms support the important agritourism activity in the area.
