Celebrating BHGRE Green Team’s Goshen Office!
Celebrating the Opening of a New Office in Goshen, NY
Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Green Team celebrated the opening of their new office in Goshen, NY on April 26th, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The event marked an important milestone for the brokerage, which has been serving the Hudson Valley and Northern NJ areas for the past 18 years.
Continued Growth and Expansion
Founded with a vision to provide exceptional service to their clients, Green Team has grown over the years, with the opening of their first office in Warwick, followed by the Vernon office, their affiliation with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, and now the opening of their third office in Goshen, NY. The success of the brokerage can be attributed to the dedication and hard work of their team, who have built a reputation as a trusted brokerage in the region.
A Hotspot for Productivity and Collaboration
The new office in Goshen is set to be a hotspot for Green Team’s agents, providing a comfortable and functional workspace. The spacious conference room and natural light will undoubtedly create an ideal environment for productive meetings and collaboration. Additionally, the team has access to a kitchenette and a cozy lounge for well-deserved breaks. Located next to an ice cream shop, the new space is the perfect place for the team to thrive and grow.
A Grand Celebration and Inspiring Speeches
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was a grand success, with a fantastic turnout from the team and the community. Attendees enjoyed delicious refreshments and good company while celebrating BHGRE Green Team’s new office.
The brokerage’s President, Vikki Garby, and CEO, Geoff Green, also gave speeches, expressing their excitement about the new office and their vision for the future of the brokerage. According to Vikki,
“We are nine months into our new brand and this is the first of hopefully many new offices to come. Growth is our mission right now and thank you for being a part of it. Thank you for supporting us and thank you for being here to share this celebration with us. We’re excited to be in Goshen, the center of the county, so we can grow our business naturally.”
Geoff also took the opportunity to recount his personal experiences in Goshen and the factors that influenced his decision to expand the brokerage in this vibrant community.
“My father, Joe Green, operated here for many years. In fact, when I first became a Realtor I worked with him out of his office at 255 Greenwich Ave, the old, white, hospital building, which he was there for many years; Krissy (Many) actually worked with my father as well. I started my career in real estate here (in Goshen) in 2005 and then I opened up the Green Team Home Selling System in Warwick New York. I didn’t think it would take me 18 years to get back to Goshen but all good things, in due time and we’re here and we’re very happy to be here.”
Community Support and Congratulations
Additionally, Green Team had many people come out to congratulate them and expressed their gratitude for the brokerage’s contribution to the community. This included Molly O’Donnell, the Mayor of Goshen, George Lyons from the Town of Goshen, as well as the Goshen Chamber of Commerce, and finally Evelyn from the office of Assemblyman Brian Maher.
The new office in Goshen is a testament to BHGRE Green Team’s commitment to providing their clients with the best service possible. With the expanded space and resources, the team will be better equipped to serve their community and continue to build on their success. Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Green Team is excited to see what the future holds for their brokerage and is grateful for the continued support of their team and community.

Rick Harrison brings his Real Estate Experience, Competitiveness, and Humor to BHGRE Green Team
Richard “Rick” Harrison attended the University of Arkansas with a major in Business Administration. For eighteen years, before becoming a real estate agent, Rick was a professional tennis coach.
About Rick
Rick has lived in Vernon since 2003. He spends his weekdays doing real estate, working out, playing golf, and being Adam’s dad; he pretty much spends his weekends doing the same. Rick is a huge sports fan and loves the Razorbacks. An athlete his whole life, Rick still plays golf, tennis, basketball, and baseball; you’ll often see him working out at Minerals or running at Maple Grange Park.
Rick Harrison in Real Estate
Rick decided to pivot his career, four years ago, when he entered into Real Estate. When asked why he decided to switch paths? he said, “I knew I would be good at it and I didn’t want to have a real job anymore.” Joking aside, the real estate world is extremely competitive, yet in the four years he has been in business, Rick’s numbers prove how devoted he is to his clients.
Rick Harrison is happy to help with any of your real estate needs; when it comes to golf, he’s good to have in your foursome and he usually picks up the check.
It is no doubt that a realtor with Rick’s innate competitive sportsmanship and experience will be an unbeatable asset to every client that he meets.
Servpro visits our BHGRE Green Team Goshen Office
Creating Connections and Friends
Building strong business connections is essential for realtors. These connections allow you to provide your clients with the best recommendations and solutions for their needs. That’s why our Broker-Manager Krissy Many invited SERVPRO of North Orange County to our New Goshen office for a visit and a delicious lunch.
Lunch was not only enjoyable but also provided a valuable opportunity for both teams to get to know each other. Afterward, Brittany, the co-owner of Servpro shared with us the services they can provide to benefit our clients.
Servpro offers a wide range of services for both commercial and residential clients. Their free emergency manual for commercial clients is a great resource that can help ensure the safety of employees and customers in the event of an emergency.
On the residential side, their services for water damage, leaks, storm damage, fire restoration, mold remediation, vent cleaning, bio-hazard clean up, deep cleaning and trash-outs can help homeowners deal with a variety of issues that can arise in their homes.
Furthermore, Servpro is a local family-owned franchise started by Brittany’s parents. Following their retirement, She and her sister took over and are continuing to carry on the great service their parents started. Servpro is a company that values quality and customer satisfaction. Having Brittany and her sister at the helm ensures that this tradition will continue for years to come.
According to Krissy,
“I have known Brittany for 10 years and wouldn’t hesitate to call her with any questions. She is a source of info for our clients with many networking contacts that she is willing to share when you need to find the right vendor or professional.”
It’s clear that Servpro is a reliable and trustworthy company that can help both commercial and residential clients with a variety of needs. We are so happy to have gotten the opportunity to get to know more about them and we look forward to sharing their skills with our future clients.

Easter Bunny makes An “Egg-citing” visit!
There’s nothing as Egg-citing as a visit from the Easter Bunny!
When BHGRE Green Team learned the Easter Bunny would be visiting Vernon a little early this year we “hopped” right into action. On March 9th our agents, Joe Mackey, Kimberly Lasalandra, Toni Kreusch, Kristi Anderson, Amy Klypka, Charles Nagy, Barbara Tesa, and Peggy Bradfield all got together. They spent hours filling eggs for our fuzzy friend. They then spread them around during an easter egg hunt at our Vernon office on Saturday, April 1st. Once all the eggs were filled we could barely contain our excitement.
Finally, the wait was over, and our team rushed to the office to see the magic that the Easter Bunny had created. When Barbara Tesa, Kim Lasalandra, Peggy Bradfield, Kristi Anderson, Vikki Garby, Heidi Hyland, Toni Kreusch, and Ted Van Laar walked through the door they couldn’t believe their eyes. Despite the rainy weather, our office was full of festive Spring Vibes. There were decorations, treats, easter eggs, and The Easter Bunny himself!
Soon enough it was time for the fun to really begin. When the children and their families arrived at our office it was time to start the egg hunt. You could feel the air buzzing with excitement as they ran through the rooms collecting as many eggs as would fit in their baskets. Our team and the Easter Bunny cheered them on the entire time. Once all the eggs were found the Easter Bunny was happy to sit for photos with the kids.
Our team loves to see the joy that these events bring to the members of our community. This was an amazing experience for all of us and we can’t wait until we host our next fun event!
