Meet Lindsay Stevens, Team Leader
Lindsay Stevens, a Hudson Valley powerhouse, leads an unstoppable team of 40 real estate experts. With unmatched drive and determination, they dominate the field in both residential and commercial properties. Hudson Valley Magazine has crowned Stevens Real Estate as "The Best Real Estate Firm" in the region, and Lindsay herself is celebrated as "The Face of Hudson Valley Real Estate," with high-profile appearances on HGTV’s 'House Hunters' and in The New York Times.
In 2023, Lindsay's squad didn’t just make waves—they created a tsunami, selling 416 properties and clinching the top spot in New York State and the second spot nationally with Zillow. Lindsay’s 17+ years in business development, marketing, and sales have shaped Stevens Realty Group into a multi-million-dollar juggernaut since its founding in 2010. Partnering with eXp Realty in 2020, the fastest-growing real estate company in history, they've set the pace for the industry's future.
Armed with a background in Legal Studies and Business from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and experience at Fortune 500 giants like Edelman Public Relations and Morgan Stanley, Lindsay brings a diverse arsenal of skills—sales, marketing, communications, client relations, and negotiations. As a hands-on leader, she drives client representation, spearheads sales and marketing, champions community outreach, and oversees property management with a relentless commitment.
Outside of the office, Lindsay’s life is just as intense. As a mother to two daughters, Mya and Kalli, an ultra-runner, triathlete, and outdoor enthusiast, she draws strength from her roots in the trails of Mohonk Preserve.

Exclusive Insider Home Buyers Guide
The process of buying a home may seem pretty straight forward. However, what many of my clients don't realize is how much actually goes into the process from start to finish. From choosing the right agent, preparing your finances and talking with a lender to see what type of loan is best for your situation to getting the keys to your new home in your hand, attached is a summary from the beginning to the end of that process and how I am successful in guiding my client's to achieving the goal of finding the home of their dreams.

Exclusive Buyer Agency Agreement
The Buyer Agency agreement attached spells out the details of solidifying an Exclusive Buyer Agreement with me. Many of my client's do not realize that in New York State, the law requires we disclose that as an agent we work on behalf of the Seller even though we are working together to find your perfect home. When we have this Exclusive Agreement in place it changes that relationship and requires me to Fully Represent You and Only You in the process of finding and negotiating the best possible terms for your new home.
NYS Agency & Anti-Discrimination Disclosures
