Homes for Sale in the Berkshires| Best Buys Begin in January?

By Joyce Harsch
Posted Thursday, Jan 3, 2019

Berkshire home sellers that remain on the market during the winter often have a more urgent need to sell which can be anything from a new job in another location outside of the Berkshires to deciding that they no longer have need of a second home in the Berkshires.

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 [...]

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. We could not be happier with the job you did as our realtor and have already recommended you to one of Vicky's colleagues who may be looking to purchase a home. We will definitely recommend you for anyone looking to buy or sell. [...]

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 [...]

Thank you Kevin - we did it! We got a discount Christmas tree and spent most of the afternoon decorating/breaking ornaments. It was lovely. Thank you for everything you did to make this a reality, I can't believe we made it into the house before the end of the year. We are ecstatic - and slightly terrified (in the best way). We certainly will send folks your way as we come across them - we have nothing but good things to say about the dedication and wisdom you brought to this entire [...]

April 10, 2012 From: Berkshire Humane Society, Inc., Pittsfield MA Dear Paul, Thank you so much for your generous contribution to the Berkshire Humane Society.

This is a fund that we use almost on a monthly basis for surrendered pets that need special care. Again on behalf of our homeless animals thank you for thinking of Berkshire [...]

Dear Paul: Last November Jim and I decided to start the search for a retirement home in the Berkshires. We really wanted to be within close proximity to Williams College, good healthcare, Tanglewood, and of course the great outdoors. We searched the internet for a good reliable real estate agency, and after reading favorable comments about your agency decided that we would visit Williamstown for the weekend and stop in to see if someone could be of [...]

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

Dear Paul, Thank you so much for your help earlier this spring and summer. All is well and we are grateful to have connected with you. I notice that you have reviews from folks with whom you have worked on your website; please feel free to add this testimonial from me and Kim: "We are very grateful to have been able to work with Paul Harsch and Harsch Associates when we purchased a home in Williamstown. Paul is a great [...]

Dear Paul, Thank you for leading us to North Adams. The time you took with us when we first came to your office persuaded us of the pleasures of the Berkshires. Your associate, Carolyn Umlauf was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was polite, professional and tough as nails when needed. I call it the velvet hammer. She is a great addition to your office. Thank you for everything. We could not be happier with [...]

Paul, I cannot thank you enough for all you did for us during our visits to North Adams. It was you, above all else, who gave us the confidence to push forward with our home search!
