DeWayne A. Powell at William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty

When we decided, after 46 years, to sell our beloved home in Ghent NY, we immediately reached out to DeWayne Powell. His professionalism, experience and knowledge were unequalled when compared to others seeking to manage our marketing and sale. In addition to his personal guidance throughout the process, his referrals to others, i.e., real estate attorneys and other service providers, helped simplify our efforts. His marketing services and guidance resulted in our concluding the sale in a timely manner at the price we were seeking.

We recently purchased a home in upstate New York with the assistance of DeWayne Powell, a real estate agent with William Pitt Sotheby’s. Though the process itself was quite a cumbersome experience, we never felt stressed or frustrated; and we attribute much of that to DeWayne. He was an extraordinary teammate from the first onboarding interview to the final walkthrough and closing. As first time homebuyers, he ensured that we not only landed the home of our dreams, but also that we knew all the great features and potential drawbacks of each property. For the initial consultation he was thorough in asking us all of our desires and our non-starters. He asked intriguing questions like what is one feature that you loved in your childhood home, or what room do you plan on spending most of yo

As first time homebuyers, the process was quite bewildering to my husband and I. We could not have been more happy to have DeWayne representing us. His guidance, which after over two years of searching turned into a friendship, was invaluable. He is timely, persistent, and knowledgeable. On top of his professionalism he is also warm, genuine, and honestly, hilarious! When we were exhausted and over it, he encouraged us not to settle - and thank goodness we didn't. DeWayne helped us find our dream home while staying on budget. All the praise to you, DeWayne!

I hadn't bought a home in a while, and was very leery about the whole process. Working with DeWayne was wonderful, since he brought expertise, thoroughness, persistence and attention to detail to show me homes. He did reveal, for example, how one of the properties had a crooked floor. But beyond the specifics, he was quite helpful during the process and patient while I was forced to switch lenders at the last minute. From the first showing to the final walkthrough prior to closing, DeWayne was there, whether to remind everyone, including the sellers, of their duties, to changing a ceiling light just to be helpful. He also has a trusted group of inspectors and attorneys, and those referrals helped me immensely. It goes without saying that I don't think I would have bought a property if it

We have purchased two properties from DeWayne now and couldn't imagine working with any other broker in the Hudson Valley. DeWayne more often than not knows more about the properties we were inspecting than the selling broker. He really does put the competition to shame. One of my favorite qualities about DeWayne is his attention to detail partnered with his honesty; if something was off about a property he'd call it out and not sugar coat it just to push a sale. Important to know about DeWayne is he doesn't disappear once the sale closes. He's always near by to recommend any contractors / vendors you may need to to improve the property you've purchased. He's also always near by to help us with rental comps - he loves what he does and it's evident from the fact that he is always there t
