Summer of 2010 I moved into an apartment in Ithaca newly managed by James Orcutt Real Estate. I…read morewas living in New Mexico and needed trees and water, research on the internet showed me a building that just "popped" for me, so I emailed James. We set up an interview a few days later and I arranged to be in Ithaca for a look at the apartment he was kind enough to hold for me. I am still in this apartment! I consider myself an expert as I have lived in apartments all my adult life and my father owned some rentals when I was a child, Orcutt Real Estate provides the best treatment this renter has ever experienced. Plus, he always knows my name and takes time to speak and smile if he passes me in the parking lot. Rare indeed. J. D.

James was extremely helpful, and provided great photos of the place. I am super happy with my apartment for the price I'm paying, and with James' management. My only gripe is that he can be tough to get in contact with unless it's an urgent matter. But he's a busy man and he'll get back to you quickly when you need it.

I own and operate an LLC that manages my real estate investment portfolio comprised of residential rental units. I am the daughter of two contractors and developers that are well known and respected in the Ithaca area. I grew up on construction sites and have overseen countless renovations since. I serve you with an arsenal of construction contacts that I trust with my own home. Most importantly I pride myself on attention to detail and customer service. I spent 15 years in the restaurant world, where I learned from a young age the value of integrity and care in customer service. Straight out of college I worked as an events and restaurant manager running high end restaurants and training others on those values. I enjoyed this work until I found my true calling in real estate. I bring those lessons to every interaction I have in the world and especially in my work. I enjoy working with homeowners and homebuyers and getting to know them in new chapters of their lives. The relationships forged from this agency keeps me loving my work every day.

This is a very challenging time to buy a house and though the financial parameters for the IHNS program can be limiting, they are changing the lives of some people who would otherwise not be able to purchase a home without their help. In addition, the education department at INHS provides a fantastic program open to ANYONE. The class offers a solid foundation of knowledge about purchasing a first home. I've had so many buyers come to me from the INHS Homebuyer program and they are better prepared, more confident, and less intimidated by the process. I recommend it to everyone. Within the parameters of what is allowed by their funders and donors, I believe INHS does the best they can with what they have and they are an important part of increasing housing equity in our community.

I am a former resident of Auden Apartments and officially vacated my unit in May 2025. According to…read morethe lease agreement, my security deposit was to be refunded promptly after I moved out and completed the move-out inspection. However, as of today--February 22, 2026--I have still not received my deposit. I have followed up with the relevant parties on multiple occasions and previously stated that if the refund was not received by February 20, 2026, I would have no choice but to pursue legal action to protect my rights. Recently, Auden provided email documentation indicating that a check had been issued. Although I have not yet received the actual payment, I have decided--based on this evidence--to temporarily hold off on initiating legal proceedings. That said, I hereby formally declare: if I do not receive the full deposit refund by early March 2026, I will immediately commence legal action, including but not limited to filing a claim in small claims court, and I reserve the right to seek all remedies available for breach of contract. I urge Auden to promptly investigate this matter and ensure the refund is successfully delivered to avoid further escalation. -- A former tenant who expects good faith and contractual compliance February 22, 2026

We contacted Hallie based on positive reviews and we're so glad that she was the one to help us find and purchase our first home. Her knowledge and availability was essential as we were unable to fly back and forth to tour homes.

She never pressured us and worked with us to submit offers that we felt comfortable with. We were unfamiliar with the home buying process in New York but she helped guide us through it.
