Ulster County Real Estate

It’s Monday, with the weekend just past, and as a Realtor, you hope that you were busy with showings and listings. But sometimes life doesn’t always work out that way, and you get the opportunity to do other things. Recently, I was afforded an opportunity to be the engine on the family shopping cart during our weekly journey into Kingston to purchase sustenance. Now, this  is a job that for all intense purposes, I am qualified at, very familiar with, and one that I have been doing for years in Saugerties, Catskill, and as mentioned, at the various establishments in the Kingston area.

Now I don’t know about you, but I look like quite the sight on these early morning excursions. The store staff is gracious, never bars me from the store, and still allows me to participate in sampling. I mean come on, if your there you should partake! Now, we try to buy as much local merchandise as possible. There is an abundance of dairy products and meats from the Veteran, Rhinebeck, and Red Hook areas year round. During the season, we try to purchase as much local produce as possible such as from Highland, and New Paltz. Now this is not always possible, but Ulster County has an abundance of small farms and boutique farming operations that produce a wide variety of food items.

Lastly, I enjoy going to the grocery store, no, not because I can sample, okay maybe, but because I like the give and take when you get to know the store staff. They really help you out when you build a relationship, and you never know in what isle that next client is lurking.
