The Hudson Valley Team at Compass

Since 1908, H.W. Guernsey Realtors, now the Hudson Valley Team, has had a singular goal: to provide the finest, most personalized real estate service. 

Today, over a century later, the firm is proud to be the oldest real estate agency in beautiful and historic Dutchess County. The Hudson Valley Team specializes in luxury real estate in Millbrook, Northern Dutchess County, and Southern Columbia County, New York. Millbrook is the heart of Dutchess County in the Historic Hudson Valley, a place of renowned beauty and rolling hills conscientiously preserved for generations to come. The Hudson Valley Team continues to represent with utmost discretion some of the world’s highest-profile personalities from top levels of government, finance, business, and entertainment, who seek the team's professional execution in the sales of country homes, historic and classic estates, and premier land to local, national and international buyers.

Byron Anderson, the team's principal broker, was among the first 50 agents to join Compass in 2014. In 2019, he saw an opportunity to bring Compass to the Hudson Valley and is Compass's founding broker in the region. The team has successfully set out on a path to bring an elevated and more sophisticated approach to selling real estate in Millbrook and the Hudson Valley. The team is comprised of 16 of the Hudson Valley’s leading agents, many of whom consistently rank in the top five of the luxury market each year. The team sold over $135M in 2024 and since the team’s inception has sold over $500M in real estate which makes them the leaders of the luxury market in the region by a significant margin.

Notably, the team has had the honor of representing high sales records in numerous townships including representing both the buyer and seller of the single most expensive residential property to ever trade north of Westchester County for $18,500,000 in 2022.

The reputation of the Hudson Valley Team at Compass, and their record of sales at all price points, is exemplary which is why they have become the only choice for best in class representation and a collaborative and effective selling or buying experience.
