Testimonials

“

I purchased a beautiful Adirondack property four years ago from VandeWater & Associates.  It was among several parcels expertly developed by VandeWater along the East Canada Creek including a substantial access road, adequately cleared home site and a secure gate.  I was pleased with the professionalism, courtesy, and attention to detail demonstrated by VandeWater during the sale transaction and was similarly impressed when he efficiently brokered the sale of my property to a new owner.  I had a very positive experience dealing with VandeWater & Associates and would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone interested in owning property in upstate New York or wherever he transacts his business.

“Geri and I had been searching for a country home for better than two years.  We looked in various states without success.  Then we had the good fortune to speak and meet with Bob (Sales Agent for VandeWater & Associates)  He understood our interest and needs and introduced us to the property that became our new home.  The log home and the large property was a perfect match.

Bob spent endless time with us showing the property and answering the multitude of questions we had concerning moving from city life to a rural and lovely setting.  He introduced us to neighbors as well as local merchants and services that have proven invaluable in this dramatic and wonderful change.  Even after the closing he continues to stay in touch.  He continues to show interest in how we are doing in our new local.

The entire process was professional and friendly.  We greatly appreciate the interest he took in all aspects of this venture of ours.”

“As spring approaches and my friends and I plan the upcoming season at my new camp, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for a pleasurable land purchasing experience.  With the help of VandeWater & Associates, I am the proud owner of a beautiful wooded parcel in Herkimer County, NY.  My dream of owning a hunting camp for myself, friends and family is now a reality.

Looking for a piece of land for my camp was a bit of a challenge.  I wanted property that felt remote, yet was still close enough to civilization for needed food, supplies, lodging, etc.  Not an easy find.  In my price range, the majority of the land other realtors offered was either so remote as to not allow access for a good portion of the year or was so close to civilization that it backed up to a highway with tractor trailers speeding by day and night.  I found the property that you offered to be just what I was looking for.

I have, in the past, purchased real estate, but this was my first time buying rural undeveloped land.  As you would expect, I was full of concerns and questions.  Your associate, Bob Daniels, helped me along every step of the process and handled my many telephone calls with patience and professionalism.  He was very familiar with the land and took the time to walk the entire property with me on more than one occasion. ( The last time as I remember, was in snow up to our knees in 12 degree weather.  That's what I call going above and beyond the call of duty)  Even after the sale, Bob has been, and continues to be, a great resource to me as a land owner, offering his advice and assistance should it be needed.  His help is truly appreciated.

I know first hand that purchasing land can be a harrowing experience.  There are many less reputable realtors out there looking to take advantage of the land buyer.  I never for a minute felt that about your company.  Your team took the time to clearly explain things to me and gave me the tools and “space” I needed to make an informed, sound investment.  I would highly recommend VandeWater & Associates to anyone in the market for upstate New York property.

Please give my thanks again to your staff.”

“I recently bought 13 acres of land from VandeWater & Associates in Edwards, NY.  I couldn't have been more pleased and satisfied with my dealings with Mr. (Bob) Daniels.  Everything was up front and Mr. Daniels went the extra mile on all occasions.  I have dealt with other realtor's in my life and this was the best experience yet.  Again I couldn't be more satisfied.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to Bob Daniels and the staff of VandeWater & Associates.  Although I now live in Virginia, my heart has always been in the Adirondacks.  Over the years my wife and I have searched high and low for property in or near the park.  Until we came into contact with Bob and VandeWater & Associates I had almost given up hope of finding my dream retirement spot.  Bob spent the better part of a cold winter day walking a piece of ground with me, locating property corners and introducing me to my dream.  With his help and guidance my wife and I were successful in our quest and are looking forward to a quiet retirement home in the north woods.  Thank you VandeWater & Associates, and a special Thank you to Bob Daniels!”

“...although the property was a considerable distance from where we live, we decided to inquire about it.  After our phone call to Dave and Bob we received more information about different listings and the area they were in, we made an appointment with Bob to see it personally.  The following Saturday Bob showed us not only the property we were interested in but also other places for sale.  Bob paid attention to our needs and concerns, without pressuring us to make an immediate decision.  When we returned home we decided to buy but the distance of this place was still bothersome.  Bob and Dave, you assured us that you would assist us with anything we needed not only during the transaction but also afterwards.

To say the least, our transaction was smooth and the settlement took place without us being there in person.  The whole VandeWater office, Bob, Dave and Shannon were very professional and kept their word in assisting us with different matters, even still to this day.  For that we are indeed grateful.

Thank you for keeping your word, for your professionalism and great services.  We will be happy to refer you to anyone who is about to buy property in your area.”

“We shopped for land all over the country via the Internet and we are very happy we found vandewaterland.com and Bob Daniels.  Some Internet sites we contacted could not locate the land they were selling.  Most sites had very little or no knowledge at all of the land they were selling.  One site we called referred us to different associates around the country and none were able to locate or give us any help with their property.  VandeWater & Associates and Bob Daniels are a breath of fresh air.  Bob has extensive knowledge of the land they are selling.

VandeWater & Associates hand selects just a few properties to develop from a long list of entrees.  Bob Daniels and Dave VandeWater walk all of the land they are selling before they develop it.  It was a real pleasure to deal with true professionals.  Quality was evident every step of the way even in the smallest of details.  Thanks Bob, we could not be happier with our purchase.”
