We are a small, independent office. No automated answering here, when you call you will reach a live person at the end of the phone. (Or a live person’s voicemail because we are all out on the road with customers!) On the other hand we also believe in the technology that enables us to more efficiently service our clients and customers. At Country Life Real Estate we believe in old fashioned values and service. Using our experience and skills in the real estate business and our knowledge of life in Columbia County, we strive for every transaction to be a positive experience for all of our customers and clients. We know that you are looking for more than four walls, you are looking for the home that speaks to you and to the lifestyle you live. We truly believe…it’s not just a property….it’s a lifestyle. So give us a call.
