The History of Columbia & The Hudson Valley

Columbia County was formed in 1786 after the American Revolutionary War from portions of Albany County. Once a vast area until new communities were developed and jurisdictions were organized. In 1799, the southern boundary of Columbia County was moved southward to include that portion of Livingston Manor located in Dutchess County.

In the 1800s Greene County river towns and villages flourished as boat building, brick making, milling and tanning centers. As did the Tourist Centers such as the Catskill Mountain House and Hotel Kaaterskill. With its 2 major ski areas and its commuting access via the NYS Thruway and the Taconic State Parkway, Greene County has become a thriving, more affordable alternative to Ulster and Columbia Counties.

I would highly recommend consideration of David Birch and Barnes and Farms Realty for your contemplated real estate transactions. I recently used them for a very complicated situation in the town of New Baltimore in Greene County. The situation required the subdivision of a large parcel of land which was further complicated by the fact that the parcel was in the New York State land management program. David Birch’s knowledge, guidance and likable disposition were largely instrumental in a relatively quick and successful closing on the property.

Gregory Kardos showed me a property that I was interested in purchasing and he was very friendly, professional and most importantly responsive. He was so helpful with every step of the process, I am most grateful for his assistance in my home purchase. I would most definitely recommend Gregory as the realtor to contact if purchasing or selling your home in the Columbia County area or Catskills area.

David was the listing agent for a house we recently purchased in Canaan, NY in Columbia County. We contacted him on March 27th -- during week two of the COVID-19 shutdown in New York -- and he got back to us immediately. Several other local realtors during the same time never responded to our inquiries. Either because he has super powers, or is just a go-getter, David set himself apart during the strange conditions of house hunting during the Coronavirus. He's very affable, communicates well and kept us in the loop during the twists and turns that come along with any house purchase. We appreciated that he gave us space to explore the house, but was ready to answer questions when they arose. He's not a pushy salesman. Several times during the offer and contract phases, he helped us gain access to the house to double-check features and measurements we had questions about. Not only did we buy the house he showed us, but we feel we've gained a friend in the process.

We recently sold real estate in the Town of Canaan in Columbia County through Barns & Farms Realty LLC. Our house had been on the market for many years with little buyer interest using countless other brokers who did very little and accomplished even less. That is, until we hired David Birch who managed to proactively find several interested buyers in relatively short order and finally closed a sale. We strongly recommend Barns & Farms Realty LLC and our broker, David Birch.

I recently sold real estate in the Town of Claverack in Columbia County through Barns & Farms Realty LLC. David Birch was my realtor and he was great. I knew he was the right realtor as he came out right away to walk my property, listened to my ideas of how to sell the property, he was flexible and persistent all with the goal of getting the property sold for the best possible price. I just want to say thank you David for your help!

I worked with David who was employed by the seller for a piece of land in Greene County. We, after some back and forth, got to a positive outcome and closed on the land after ensuring due diligence was done.
