Petra Heist

I have been proudly serving our beautiful Mid-Hudson Valley region as a full-time Realtor since 2014.  My philosophy is simple – Clients come first!  My pledge is consistent and responsive communication, diligence, and care.  Should you choose to work with me, you can count on my strong commitment to achieve what is in your best interest, within your budget and timeframe.  I will listen closely and identify your needs and priorities and dedicate my expertise and knowledge to help you purchase or sell a home or investment property. My relationship with my clients does not end at the closing table as I remain available with advice and resources to facilitate post-closing real estate projects.

Growing up in the Black Forest in Germany, a region that reminds me in so many ways of the Catskills, I later lived in Frankfurt/Main where I earned a Master of Arts in American Studies from Goethe University.  Since 2001 I have called New York State my home.  I worked at a Commercial Real Estate Investment Bank followed by several years as an HR Administrator at Rockefeller University in NYC.  Soon after my move to Ulster County in 2012, I picked up on my passion for real estate and have been thriving in my profession ever since. I have well established relationships in the industry and believe in a firm yet kinder-is-better style of communication which makes me a successful negotiator able to keep doors open even when things get complicated. It is my priority to guide my clients through every step of the real estate purchasing/selling process with little pain and an abundance of fun!

I am a garden enthusiast and love tending to my “little farm” in High Falls.  As an avid cook, I love to unwind with my family while experimenting in the kitchen, always curious to explore new cuisines and techniques.  I am also a volunteer at my favorite community organization in Kingston - The People’s Place.
