Beacon · Kingston · and the towns between
We are an independent brokerage with two storefront offices, fourteen agents and nearly 15 years of walking property lines, reading old foundations and learning the train schedules by heart. Buying, selling, land, or leaving a city lease: we'll tell you what we know, including the parts nobody puts in the listing.
Fieldstone & Finch started in 2009 with two desks on Ferry Lantern Street in Beacon. Nadia Finch had spent the better part of two decades as an architect in Brooklyn, mostly on brownstones that someone had loved and someone else had wrecked. Walt Fieldstone had sold farms and land in Ulster County since before anyone called it "upstate." They thought the valley deserved a brokerage that read houses the way an architect does and land the way a farmer does.
Today we have fourteen agents, a second office on Stockade Row in Kingston, a small rental desk, and around 210 sales a year between Cold Spring and Hudson. We're not the biggest office on Main Street. We are the one that will walk the property line with you in the rain, find the 1974 date stamped on the septic lid, and tell you that the 7:12 to Grand Central is the one with the empty seats.
A few of the houses, farms and lots we're representing right now. Every one of them has been walked, measured and argued over by the agent whose name is on it.

Information deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Square footage and lot size are approximate.
We start with a conversation about what you need, not a stack of listings. Before we tour, you'll sign a short buyer agreement. It says what we're paid and that you can negotiate it. Often the seller covers it; now it's written down. Then we look hard: at the roof, the radon number, the commute, the tax bill and the flood map. When you find the one, we write an offer your attorney will be glad to read.
Buying with usWe price from real comparable sales, not from the number a website emailed you. We'll tell you which repairs pay and which don't, and through Fieldstone Prep we can line up the painter, the electrician and the stager for you, with the bill paid out of your proceeds at closing. Then photography, floor plans, a broker open, and a weekly call with honest feedback.
Selling with usRaw land and old farms come with questions houses don't: Will it perc? Where's the well going? Is there an easement, a right-of-way, a conservation restriction, an agricultural exemption that rolls back if you stop haying? Eli Brandt has been asking those questions in Ulster County for over a decade, usually from the cab of a 2004 pickup.
Land and farmsHalf our buyers are leaving an apartment in Brooklyn or Manhattan, and many of them have never owned a lawn mower, a well pump or a heating-oil contract. Marcus Oyelaran rented in Brooklyn for nine years before he moved to Beacon. He'll help you think through the train, the taxes, the winters and the weekends, and he won't pretend a two-hour commute is "an easy hop."
Moving up from NYCWe work up and down both banks of the river, from the Highlands to Columbia County, and west into the Ulster County hills. These six are where we sell the most; ask us about the rest.
A former factory town turned arts town, with a long Main Street, the falls on Fishkill Creek and the train to Grand Central in about 90 minutes.
Beacon guideA 19th-century river village in the Highlands: Federal houses, trailheads at the edge of town and very few listings at any one time.
Cold Spring guideNew York's first capital: stone houses in the Stockade, an arts district in Midtown and the old canal waterfront on the Rondout. Still the valley's best value.
Kingston guideA polished village with river estates and horse farms around it, and Amtrak at Rhinecliff a few minutes away.
Rhinebeck guideA college town under the Shawangunk Ridge, with the rail trail through the middle and orchards on the way out.
New Paltz guideA small river city with an unusually intact 18th- and 19th-century streetscape on Warren Street, and Amtrak at the bottom of the hill.
Hudson guideSome of what closed this year. We're happy to talk through any of these: what it listed at, how many offers came in, what the inspection turned up and what we'd do differently.

We made offers on four houses in Beacon and lost three of them. Marcus never once told us "the right one is coming." He told us exactly why we lost each one and what it would cost to win the next. We won the next.
— Dana and Lewis K., bought in Beacon, 2025
Eli walked all thirty-eight acres with us, twice, and pointed out the wet corner of the hayfield before the surveyor did. I've never had anyone in a sales job tell me so many reasons not to buy something. We bought it anyway, with our eyes open.
— Margaret O., bought a farm in Stone Ridge, 2024
Nadia priced our house lower than two other brokers did, and explained why with a folder of comparables and a sketch of our floor plan. It sold in nine days, over asking. The other two numbers would have had it sitting through the winter.
— Henry and Ruth A., sold in Cold Spring, 2024
First house, first everything. June made a one-page list of every cost from the inspection to the title insurance before we even looked at anything. There were no surprises at closing, which our friends told us was impossible.
— Sam T., bought a condo in Kingston, 2025
Every quarter we pull the closed sales for the six towns we work most, and write down what we're seeing at the kitchen tables. This quarter: Beacon homes are going under contract in about three weeks; Rhinebeck and Hudson are taking longer, and more of them are trading below the original asking price. Kingston is still the valley's best value, and it knows that too.
Call either office, stop in, or send us a note. At our first real conversation we'll give you New York's agency disclosure form. It isn't a contract; it explains who an agent can work for, and it's the state's way of making sure you know before you tell us anything confidential.
