Get ready for winter. For owners of Berkshire homes that will be vacant over the coming winter months, it is strongly advised that an individual or service company be hired to routinely check on the home or condo to insure everything remains in working order.

Dear Paul, What a wonderful experience working with you to find our vacation home! We feel so fortunate to have found you. Your competence in every realm--the ins and outs of the real estate market, knowledge of how homes are constructed and maintained, staying on top of every detail along the way--was impressive. We have worked with many good real estate agents over the years, but you stand out as someone who is truly gifted. You negotiated on our behalf in a manner [...]

RE: Listing and Sale of 696 West Shaft Road, North Adams, MA 01247 Dear Mr. Harsch: Barb and I are simply amazed that your listing of our home, and your expert guidance in this matter, were the major factors in our sale on November 21, 2008, and with a satisfactory sale price given the present housing market turmoil. Our initial instincts in [...]

Hi Kevin, Thanks so much for the kind words. We are so excited about the house; we just got back from doing some deep cleaning and can't wait for the next steps.

Hi Paul After reading that e-mail I feel particularly lucky to have found you. Obviously most Realtors want to make the most money they can on a deal, and your philosophy does not necessarily lead to that outcome. You are doing the right thing and that is very hard to find these days

Greg S. 8/9/20

As a youngish single woman and a first-time home buyer, I was bracing myself for some pushy salesmanship and needing to defend my opinions and priorities. Paul was forthright in identifying potential benefits and areas of concern in the properties we viewed, but he respected my opinions and never treated me as though any issue was over my head. He was very clearly committed to helping me find a place [...]

From: ABC- A better chance. A better community. Williamstown MA May 11, 2012 Dear Paul, On behalf of the Board of Directors for Greylock ABC, I would like to thank you for your generous donation to the Greylock ABC 2011-2012 Annual Fund. Your contribution truly makes a difference in the lives of our scholars, especially in these economically difficult times. We could not offer the current variety of programs and a secure nurturing home for our scholars without [...]

My realtor, Paul Harsch, was an invaluable guide on the path to my Vermont home purchase. He is a New England resident, and lives a resonant life with respect for the values of sustainability, creativity, and community. From Bennington to Egremont, I’ve witnessed other realtors awestruck by his gently shared knowledge of historical authenticity, timeless craftsmanship practices, and contemporary building codes. Coming from the west, with no awareness of the nuances of ice [...]

12/25/2017 Dear Paul, After all we went through the last six months I needed a few days to think over everything over before writing you. Because I have known you and your excellent reputation for probably 30 years there was no question who Dianne and I wanted to help us with the sale of our home. Little did I know or could imagine what we would go through over the last six months. When the interior was destroyed in a broken pipe flood [...]
