Growing Together: Welcoming Our Newest Upstate Down Agents
Upstate Down is growing, and one of the most exciting parts of that growth is the incredible range of experience, perspective, and talent each new agent brings to our team. The beauty of a boutique brokerage is that we are not built around a one-size-fits-all approach. Each of us has different strengths, different backgrounds, and different ways of seeing homes, land, design, neighborhoods, and people. Together, those strengths become something much bigger. We collaborate closely, learn from one another constantly, and genuinely love the exchange of ideas that happens when thoughtful, creative people come together around a shared love of place.
We are so happy to welcome several new agents to the Upstate Down brokerage team.

Anthony Flores
Anthony Flores brings New York City expertise and genuine Upstate passion to every client he serves. With a background specializing in residential, luxury, and new-construction properties across Brooklyn and Manhattan's Upper West Side, Anthony understands exactly what discerning buyers are leaving behind and what they're searching for when they head north.
Kate Laing
Kate moved with her husband and two children to the Hudson Valley in 1999, drawn by the small town communities and the easy access to nature.
As a librarian at Bard College for many years, Kate developed extensive research and excellent listening skills, both of which are instrumental when it comes to finding the right home for a buyer, or the right buyer for a home.

Elizabeth Casinelli
Elizabeth began her professional life working in the film and television industry in New York City, an industry which requires diligence, adaptability, and resourcefulness. Though this was her primary employment, other endeavors have included economic research at a financial services firm, and a master’s degree in International relations.
Harmony Chen
After more than two decades working as an in-house lawyer in New York City’s fast-paced financial services world, Harmony made the move to the Hudson Valley in search of something deeper—tranquility, natural beauty, and a more balanced way of life. The transition didn’t slow her down; it sharpened her focus! She brings the drive, resilience, and “get-it-done” mindset that defines New York, paired with a genuine appreciation for the lifestyle the Hudson Valley region offers.
Sundar Thomas
Sundar has long been driven by innovation and a passion for helping people achieve meaningful goals. With an education in architectural history and design, Sundar has a deep appreciation for thoughtful design and the rich stories behind homes and buildings.
