Erik Freeland
NYS Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker
#1 Producer in Sullivan County (per OneKey MLS)
I joined Country House Realty as a Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker after working in Manhattan real estate for 9 years. There I gained a reputation as an attentive, diligent, communicative and knowledgeable agent for my clients. As a city transplant to the Catskills I understand what is motivating people to buy an escape hatch from the city or to start a new country life.
I have been fortunate in my dual career. As a photographer I have covered the White House, traveling with the President domestically and internationally on Air Force One, and documenting stories in Haiti, Iraq, Turkey, Thailand, Australia, Russia, Eastern Europe and around the United States. Most recently I documented fragile environments for the New York Times Travel Section (see Bonaire Island, the Everglades, the Grenadines and dogsledding in Maine). I have lived abroad - Paris, England, Italy - but the Catskills always draw me back.
As a seller’s agent, my photographic background has proved to be a valuable asset–drawing attention and turning heads towards their homes. I do my own drone photography and narrate videos that attract widespread viewership. Please see a few of my recent listings to see my multi-pronged marketing approach: Tyler Hill Farmhouse, Tuthill Farmhouse, Laird Rd Modern, Rock Valley Artist Compound and Shady Rock. For a few examples of how Erik integrates drone and video, see this and this or have a look at my YouTube channel.
As a buyer’s agent I am an effective resource and have my finger on the pulse of the market. Some recent sales have included: Beaver Brook, Wisteria Farm, Banyan Hill, and Upper Big Sky, to name a few.
My wife and I bought our 1904 schoolhouse in Western Sullivan County 22 years ago. Since then, I have lived here full-time and part-time. I have explored the region in all seasons on foot, skis, bikes, boats, hiking, alone and with children and dogs. I enjoy sharing my knowledge of the hidden valleys and spectacular vistas with my clients.
