Hunt Real Estate buys All American Properties

Hunt Real Estate, which operates more than 50 residential branch offices throughout New York, Massachusetts and Arizona, has grown again.

The firm announced last week it bought All American Properties, a locally-owned company in Glens Falls. All American had been in business for 20 years. All 20 affiliated agents will join Hunt's Glens Falls branch office at 333 Glen St. All American sold more than $21 million in volume in 2020 and was the largest locally

owned realty company in the city.

In May 2020, Hunt acquired Century 21 Potvin Realty, a move that brought 19 agents to the company.

“I’m very excited about merging with HUNT Real Estate,” said Ted Wilson, owner of All American Properties. “The synergy of a large, family-owned organization combined with our local, clientfocused presence will be a great benefit to our team of agents and the community.”

Saratoga foundation to offer architecture class to Realtors

The Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation, in partnership with the Preservation League of New York State, will host a class for real estate agents and design professionals about historic properties.

The class, “Architecturally Speaking for Professionals,” will take place via Zoom from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Friday, May 21. Admission is $50 and completion is worth three continuing education credits.

Representatives from the Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation, the city's planning department, the state Historic Preservation Office and the Adirondack Trust Co. will share their knowledge and resources about listing, buying, selling, or rehabilitating older properties.

A local Realtor wellversed in rehabilitating historic properties will speak.

The class will explore what “historic” means, highlight architectural styles and features, debunk myths about preservation, explain the city's zoning regulations and cover how historic tax credits and financing can increase the marketability of older homes.
