Let me take a minute to be super honest, we are not usually the review writers, but it didn't seem right not to share an experience like this. See, Dylan knew every single step, every single time, and made sure we stayed 10 steps ahead of what was to come. It was truly empowering. We went from rookies to veterans overnight, with his guidance. Even with 8 months of preparation, we had no idea the process to come. Now, that's all just the praise, how about the negotiations, you may say? Ok, Well how do I put this, Dylan makes it very clear he works hard for YOU. His allegiance is with YOU and at no point do you question that. He fights to get that last thousand off by justifying professionally, the value of something to someone from a perspective the seller AND buyer can relate to. He makes EVERYTHING a win/win. He is the most outstanding coach, he explains EVERYTHING fully and in its' entirety so that you fully understand and he NEVER loses his cool. No question is dumb, no paperwork is "thrown at you" to sign, everything is done cordially and handled delicately so you know what the heck all the jargon on the bottom means (every word, thanks Dylan) what every disclosure means, what will happen next if A,B,or C happens and we were READY every time. Dylan has been doing this for years and he gets it. Sure he gets paid for it, but it's as if it is your own father or uncle walking you through this war zone of a process. Then a month after you've moved in and you sit down in your home and you look at your wife and go "Wow, Dylan just called to say hey and asked about the roof rake lol, and if the azaleas bloomed". This write up is for people looking for a real review, from a real experience, but is mostly for you Dylan. Let us take this moment, to thank YOU for choosing a profession that you get up every morning to go to work to, and remind people that you are working with family at a comfortable no pressure pace. We looked at tons of houses, second looks, third looks, went back to just look at a basement, every time he said "ok, let me schedule that. And he actually scheduled it! He is THAT professional. You may not know this but SOME realtors just bring you to houses and you get there and they are like "I have a showing right now, I didn't get a call from you?" AWKWARD, but not Dylan, every time we looked at a house, we were both expected and welcomed. Let us, from the absolute bottom of our hearts say, Thank you Dylan. Thank you for all you did for us, and for making an unknown process so seamless and educational. We will never forget the days we spent learning with you about life and thanks for finding us a place we call home, and being the type of guy we call family. Michael and Ashley Campbell read more

Dylan Taft is a phenomenal real estate Broker!! He is genuine, knowledgeable and goes above and beyond for you. We found our home and closed in less than 4 months. For me that is amazing, since I am very picky and did not want to settle for anything less than I dreamed about. Dylan lined up all of our appointments in the most efficient way and made our trips to Ulster County worth while without us ever feeling overwhelmed. He gets all the little details that are important to you, remembers them and then finds the perfect match. I never felt pushed with him. I ask him for advice when I wasn't sure and he is always very honest, which most of the times, does not even work in his favor. Dylan not only found our dream house, but he also negotiated a substantial amount off the sales price. In addition, Dylan was the one checking if our requested improvements were done, while we were in contract. We were traveling during that time and couldn't go. Dylan did. He always made it a point to check. Tirelessly! Dylan puts his heart and soul into you getting the best. He is always available and a local area expert. He knows the up-to-date value of the land and houses and in addition has the insight of a contractor. He tells you exactly what needs to be fixed and gives you rough estimates of the costs, so you know right on the spot what you're dealing with.

Dylan Taft provided superlative service from start to finish, leading to our purchase this June of a home in Ulster County. From our first meeting this spring, his current knowledge of the local real estate market was evident. As we looked at the first few houses, he was quick to understand the combination of features -- home and location -- that my wife and I were seeking. Dylan alerted us to a new listing that met our criteria, urging that we come see it quickly. We followed his advice in making a prompt offer and relied on his counsel to complete the purchase agreement quickly. At our request, he suggested a house inspector and attorney, and the closing went smoothly. As newcomers to Ulster County, we appreciated his ready advice and local contacts to complete our household arrangements and accounts and settle in promptly. Dylan is a thorough professional, exceptionally responsive, and someone who tunes in very well to his client's needs. We recommend him enthusiastically. read more

We purchased a house through Taft Street Really and our agent was Deirdre Day. From first contact to closing, Deirdre was with us. We looked at over 20 properties during the spring, a very busy time for all agents, yet Deirdre was always accessible and highly responsive to our desires. We were all over the place as buyers; land, houses, varying price ranges. I'm sure most would have thought we would never buy and moved on, but not Deirdre. She stuck with us and helped us see everything we wanted to see and eventually we did find the exact house we were looking for. From the offer to the closing, Deirdre stayed engaged with us through the entire process. Perhaps it was just dumb luck that we found Deirdre, but I would not ever consider anyone else in my corner should I decide to buy another property. Thank you Deirdre, we love our new home! read more

When my husband and I decided to finally start looking to buy our first house, Dylan Taft was highly recommended to us by a friend. Dylan went above and beyond to find us our dream house. He was respectful, so easy to deal with, punctual and over all a really nice guy. We had to travel a few hours with our baby in order to come see the houses and Dyaln was super accommodating to our schedule and needs. We found our dream get-away home thanks to Dylan - in fact - it was the first house he showed us. Dylan also helped us find the right people to do some work on the house, could recommend great stuff in the area and saw us through the whole buying process. We were intimidated and a bit scared about the whole house buying process and Dylan Taft made it an easy, smooth and a fun experience! read more

Nothing but good things to say about Dylan. We relied on Zillow and Yelp reviews in picking an agent to help us buy a place and Dylan was a great pick. He was always available to answer any of our questions, quick to respond with listing availability and make a plan that worked around our schedule. He helped us all through the process - finding houses that were interesting to us based on questions he'd asked and by asking for feedback as we went through the process, then in helping identify local experts to help with the inspection, financing and an attorney. In all cases he gave us a number of recommendations. On top of this is he is such a nice guy. 5-stars - buy or sell your house with Dylan, am sure it will be like ours - a great experience. read more
