About Hillary
I’m Hillary Kolos, a licensed real estate salesperson on the Upstate Curious Team. I’m passionate about making the Catskills a place where everyone can live, work and play. I’m especially interested in housing equity: helping underrepresented groups and people who traditionally have not been able to buy property find ways to undo generational inequities through home and land ownership.

I have a relationship-first approach to real estate. I want to get to know my clients, and listen and care deeply that they understand the whole process and know I'm there for them every step of the way. 

For buyers: My innovative thinking, offer strategy, and knowledge of different areas of the Catskills ensures that I can help you find your perfect place. I’m adept at getting past sticking points as we move toward closing, knowing how to win offers in a competitive situation, and finding clients the people and resources they need in the area.

For sellers: My approach combines my knowledge of what today's buyers are looking for and my deep familiarity with growing areas upstate including Delaware, Schoharie, and Greene counties and beyond. With the power of the Upstate Curious team's audience reach and marketing behind me - I make sure each listing reaches as many buyers as possible and we arrive at closing quickly and smoothly. 

I've been visiting the Hudson Valley and Catskills areas from NYC for 20 years, both as a vacationer, and as a wedding DJ (!) at gorgeous venues all over the region. And now, I call it home — living with my partner and our poodle, Party Girl, in  Schoharie County, NY (the Catskills’ best-kept secret!). I love the mountains, creeks, my garden, and the rich creative community. And, being able to access fresh foods, local farms, and farm-to-table restaurants is amazing. 

Before I jumped into real estate, I spent 20 years working at the intersection of tech, art and education. I developed innovative spaces and programs for young people in and around the Bronx, NYC, and country. I went to film school and worked on documentaries for PBS, then went on to MIT for my Master's, where I studied how to make video gaming culture more inclusive.

When I’m not helping my clients find their dream home, you’ll find me singing karaoke, reading, cooking, roller skating, knitting or crocheting. Fun fact: I’m quite tall — 6 feet!
    
Are you ready to call upstate home? Are you thinking about selling but not sure how the market is doing in your area? Then let’s work together, and have fun while we navigate this big decision together. I can’t wait to help get you to the finish line!
