Aimee’s philosophy is, “Everyone deserves a home no matter what home may mean to them.” Aimee brings her attention to detail, eye for design, and extensive construction knowledge and experience to the Mary Collins Real Estate team. Her highest value is her ability to see potential. Aimee has renovated homes in the area where she not only created the design and layout, but also put forth the actual labor. One of Aimee’s strongest traits is her ability to help sellers by maximizing their homes potential through staging and guiding to make homes more appealing. Born and raised in Accord, NY, and currently residing in the New Paltz area, Aimee knows the Hudson Valley like the back of her hand, which helps buyers feel confident in knowing that her loyalty lies here. Aimee attended Quinnipiac College where she received her Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Therapy. Aimee enjoys spending as much time with her kids as possible, baking, traveling, camping, and decorating and redesigning her house. She is a bit obsessive about everything being in its place. Her family makes a game out of it by moving things around the house to see if she notices. She always does!

Margaret has been practicing real estate in Ulster County NY for 25 years, the last 22 of them with Mary Collins Real Estate! Enchanted by the picturesque historic architecture, and stunning Catskill vistas, she moved from New York City to the Hudson Valley in 1989 so that her young daughter might grow up in a place of infinite and variable natural beauty, surrounded by the unique culture of the Hudson Valley; a blended community of generations old farming families and artists from every discipline, supporting and inspiring an astonishing flow of creativity.
Delighted by the association between life and where it’s lived, Margaret’s favorite part of the job is discovering what’s unique in each individual client, whether buyer or seller, for the purpose of making a match, or smoothing a transition. Coming from a background in theatre, she has a reputation for being deeply intuitive and views communication… listening, observing, responding with knowledge & clarity…critical to providing good service in the very personal & often overwhelming process of buying and selling real estate. She takes great pride in the fact that her clients come back to her again and again as their housing needs change.
