My husband and I recently relocated to Saratoga Springs after selling our apartment in New York. We were looking for an apartment that could accommodate our recently-expanded family while also helping us to adjust to our new life upstate. We wanted something walkable, urban, and charming but in excellent shape. We looked at several places with other realtors, but all of them lacked something. The first apartment we saw with Jason Thomas at Roohan Realty was stunning--historic building, recently renovated with attention to both the historic and construction details, and right downtown. Jason was unassuming, and didn't put pressure on us as we looked; mores, he talked about the ways of life in downtown Saratoga for people who live there, not just people in for dinner or tourism. Importantly, he did so as both a knowledgeable realtor, property manager, and a resident of the neighborhood. Jason was refreshing after having other realtors who didn't understand our interests. He was also the consummate professional. Our case was complicated because we relocated without jobs, but were able to work with him and the landlord to prepay rent. He helped coordinate the details of the lease, of our situation, and also for us to get the keys and contacts we needed to move right in. Jason also recommended some contacts for us for our kids! We loved our old apartment and lived there for almost 12 years, but already feel at home in our new apartment after less than a month. We believe that's in no small part because of Jason's superior list of rentals, his intuitive sense of what we wanted, non-judgmental view, and his professionalism. read more

I worked with Michelle and Christine on the sale of my father's house in Saratoga, after he passed away in 2015. Michelle and Christine worked with us from the beginning of our process of fixing up the house for sale, and were a huge help in letting us know the best repairs to make and which ones were not worth the money. They were very knowledgable about the other homes in our neighborhood and how our house stacked up to them, and I always felt very confident with their advice and experience. They were extremely efficient and responsive, and always made me feel that we could come to them with any questions. They were also extremely helpful as local resources, as both my sister and I are no longer local to the area and even once, Michelle and Christine arranged for police to check on the house (when the wind had blown the storm door open; nothing was amiss but since the house was unoccupied, we thought it'd be most prudent to check anyway). The house was priced perfectly and we got an offer at almost exactly what we'd asked for, after the house had been on the market for just four days in the dead of winter holidays. I am extremely impressed with Michelle and Christine and their team at Roohan, and would recommend them to anyone in the area who is looking to sell or purchase a home. read more

When it came time for us to select a realtor to sell our Saratoga home--the place we had raised our four children over the course of 17 years--we knew it had to be someone special. Not just an accomplished real estate professional who would be able to market our beautiful eight-bedroom Victorian home built in 1889, but someone who was caring and compassionate. Val Thompson was that special person! She has a well-earned reputation for really understanding all of the dynamics of the Saratoga real estate market. She showed us that expertise in the pricing, marketing and staging of our home. She recommended the best painters and carpenters to help us do important pre-sale work. She was very professional and responsive during the entire process. But what really made the experience so wonderful was Val's amazing personality. Our sons had been in school together so we knew Val and trusted she was the right person to help us navigate the bitter sweet process. She turned out to be incredibly supportive at every turn, whether we were laughing, crying...or cursing all the hard work! We would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Val Thompson. read more

Meg is an exceptional person --- she established trust with me from the the very beginning. She was extremely patient for over a year while we looked together for my new home. Once we identified the new home, she navigated through the complexities of the build process, including the added complexities associated with COVID-19 providing me assurances I personally needed during the difficult times. Despite these difficult times, she maintained a genuine caring for me and my situation, and worked diligently to make sure my new home was exactly what I was looking for. Meg is a true professional and knows realty inside and out with connections across Saratoga County. But what I appreciate the most is the approach she takes as a kind and genuine human being. I've bought and sold many homes in my life, and Meg is at the top of my fond experiences with a realtor, and friend. I'm in my new home and couldn't be happier. read more

We had the tremendous good fortune to work with Neil Corkery. He is the gold standard of what a realtor should be. He is extremely client focused and knowledgeable about not only real estate, he also has great expertise in home systems, construction, inspections, and communities. He is always, always available and energized. In a hyper market, we made offers on a number of homes. Each time our offer wasn't accepted he was patient and pragmatically optimistic. In the emotional turmoil of buying a home from finding home to view to obtaining inspections, to processing a mortgage to final closing, he is always calm. Objective, empathetic and a highly trusted advisor. He is trustworthy. He works for his client, before he works for himself. From the first time we met him, through all the offers that didn't accepted until we closed on our new home he always said "My job is to find you, your perfect home." And . . . he did! read more

This is the first time I worked with Jillian Mayott...and I have been giving her name to everyone I know!!! I owned a 10 unit apartment building. Jillian let me know that traditionally it takes some time to get an offer, and I was prepared to wait. Imagine my surprise a WEEK after marketing the property - I was presented with 7 offers, and ended up accepting a full price cash offer. First...I was so impressed with her marketing skills. The team at Roohan had a first rate photographer - and the building was advertised in every venue possible. Second...I have never sold commercial before and I was so overwhelmed at times.....until I would get in contact with JIllian. Jillian was always upbeat, always in control, walked me through the process, very professional. I have other apartment buildings, and if I do decide to sell in the future, I would not hesitate to call JIllian immediately! read more

Jason Thomas helped me find my first apartment in Saratoga. He was very responsive, knowledgeable about each unit we viewed, and found me the most enviable apartment I could imagine for an incredible price. He remained helpful throughout my time in the apartment - coordinating service visits, etc. While I hated to leave my first place, when my boyfriend and I moved in together, he was happy to work with us to find a bigger place, which, unbelievably, is even more enviable than the first! The second apartment was like new when we moved in - granite countertops, new vanity, new carpet, etc. When we wanted to make changes here and there - new kitchen light fixtures, for instance - he got us approved and the installation took place within hours. Couldn't recommend Jason any more highly. read more

We 'discovered' Christine Hogan Barton from Roohan Realty when she sold our neighbor's house for $50,000 above his listing price! Well, this got our attention. We contacted her right away and from day 1 she was absolutely superb to work with. She is very experienced and quite savvy in representing her clients. She had outstanding insight and advice and help throughout the entire sales process. Her understanding of the real estate market conditions and timing and all the details you need to know about selling your house were all spot on and she sold our house in only 9 days, and for substantially more than we had listed it for. We are so very happy and lucky to have had Christine as our real estate sales agent. If you need to sell your home, this is THE person to help you ! read more

This is the second time I have worked with Jillian Mayott. Jillian is very knowledgeable about her craft. She knows the area, always has her finger on the pulse of the inventory and will keep you in the loop as well. You can be reassured that she will call/text/email as soon as something fitting your criteria hits the market. That's exactly how I found both of my commercial properties. Her advice is spot on and she walks you through the whole process and beyond! Another wonderful part of Jillian is her availability. She has been great about working with my schedule. She has a perpetual smile on her face and is extremely upbeat. I have recommended her to friends knowing she will do the best job she can to find you exactly what you want. Thanks Jillian for all your help!! read more

Working with Jillian Mayott of Roohan Realty in Saratoga Springs, NY was an awesome experience! As a business owner I found her services to be efficient, effective and focused on my needs. That is a rarity in my experience. She not only was able to assist with the smaller details of our concerns and questions but was able to assist in much larger ways when it came to working out matters of the contract. Personally, I found Jillian to be upfront and honest, fun and full of knowledge of which she was more than willing to share. I never felt pushed or ignored. I would highly recommend Jillian Mayott to anyone looking for commercial space whether large or small. Personally or professionally I wouldn't go anywhere else with my Real Estate needs going forward! read more

We had a fantastic experience with Roohan! We were relocating from DC and just looking for rentals. Two agents in particular made our whirlwind weekend of looking for properties both memorable and far less stressful than it should have been. Oliver Aldrich took our initial inquiry on a property and ran with it! He not only took the time and effort to show us several listings in our price range and desired area from both Roohan and other local agencies, but also planned our viewings carefully to show us around Saratoga and give us a feel for the different areas. We ended up choosing a Roohan-managed property, and Jason Thomas blew us away in his negotiations with the landlords. We will definitely be using Roohan when it's time to buy. read more

We couldn't be happier with our choice to work with Roohan Realty in the search for our first home. We had a lot of questions as first time home buyers, and Jason was so helpful every step of the way. He is very knowledgeable about Saratoga and provided a lot of insight into finding the perfect home for us. He was very patient, responded right away to all our questions, and always had a positive attitude. The purchase process went very smoothly, and we were even able to use the complimentary Roohan moving van after closing. Jason and the team at Roohan Realty really go above and beyond for their customers. Thanks again! read more

We are so fortunate that Kate Naughton represented us in our recent home purchase! In a very competitive, chaotic market, Kate was just the personality we needed. She is amazingly responsive and attentive. We felt we had her full attention at all times, and that she would go to great lengths to represent our best interest. All of this, while she has a calm, enjoyable demeanor that we truly needed in what otherwise could have a stressful time. Kate is straight forward and incredibly knowledgeable. If you are in the market for a realtor, choose Kate Naughton! You will not regret it! read more

Working with Kati Hauser at Roohan Realty was a great experience when selling our house that we owned for 25 years in Saratoga Springs, NY. Kati put in a lot of hours into researching comparable listings and sold properties to determine the best sell price and gave us great recommendations on things we needed to do to get our property ready for sale that didn't break the bank. The marketing was awesome and we sold our house in 5 days at very close to listing price. She was on top of things all the way to closing. Now we are using Kati for find our next properties. Highly recommend Kati!! read more

I highly recommend Chris Benton and Roohan Realty. Chris sold my last two homes, (in 2010 and 2020). He is very dedicated to his profession and stays focused on the sale from start to finish. Our homes sold very timely. The video he had shot was amazingly beautiful and I do believe it was imperative to the sale of our home to an out of state buyer. We had an unforeseen problem with mold and Chris worked with professionals to get it resolved quickly and to the satisfaction of our buyers. I would not hesitate to use Chris and Roohan Realty again. read more

Roohan Realty is an excellent company to work with. More specifically, Valerie Thompson is an excellent realtor! She worked with us to purchase our first home. She knows the market well, is detailed and found us everything we were looking for. When we had outgrown our home, she was there to help us sell quickly while fining our dream home (McPadden Builders). She is a true professional. Valerie is prompt, an excellent commutator and always keeps one informed. Valerie works hard and marketed our property well. We wouldn't recommend anyone else! read more

I cannot thank Mara King and Christine Hogan Barton at Roohan Realty enough for their entirely professional, knowledgeable, intelligent selling of my home. Their preparations were smart and energetic. Kept in touch with me on a fast moving project. Ad went live Friday Noon with eleven showings Saturday, an Open House with over 70 attending on Sunday and ad was taken down Monday as home was basically sold. I have no problem giving my highest recommendation. They made a difficult decision smooth and easy. The teamwork was impressive! read more

Kate Naughton is an excellent realtor and we highly recommend her if you're looking for an agent that knows the market very well and she's sincerely interested in helping her clients meet their needs. Roohan Realty is owned and managed by Kate's brother Tom and the company has had a great reputation in this area for about 50 yrs. Kate grew up in the business and she's a natural.
