Gary DiMauro Real Estate
Catskill and Hudson, NY
Community Access Sponsor
After spending many a blissful weekend away from the city and becoming an upstate convert, Gary DiMauro opened his first boutique real estate office in Tivoli in 1993 in an effort to strike the stress from the homebuying experience. Since then, he has sprinkled the breadcrumbs that have guided so many other New Yorkers north in search of greener pastures and riverside charm. Three more real estate offices followed suit, and each one sparked a small-town Renaissance – in Hudson (2003), Catskill (2007), and Rhinebeck (2014). A true Renaissance realtor, Gary also finds time to pursue his creative ambitions. He is the producer for I Loved Lucy, a theatrical memoir about the trailblazer comedienne Lucille Ball, which will be presented at Club Helsinki on August 24.
Thanks to Gary DiMauro Real Estate’s generous support, discounted tickets to Bill T Jones/Arnie Zane Company are available for Greene County residents. Please contact Niva at niva@lumberyard.org for more information.
