About the Team

What Sets Us Apart

Fresh Air is led by Joseph A. Satto, a former Kramer Levin attorney who spent 17 years representing hedge funds and investment banks. The result is a team that thinks analytically, strategically, and always with your best interest and the bottom line in mind. That same rigor now extends to clients buying and selling in NYC and to a growing advisory practice in Nosara, Costa Rica.

Our team lives this market. For buyers, because we split time between the city and the country, we can speak directly to buyers that are planning to have a similar lifestyle. For sellers, we know what city dwellers want in an upstate escape and what they’re are willing to pay which is why our listings sell faster, at higher prices and with fewer surprises.

"He understands how to market a lifestyle to the exact demographic of city buyers looking for a high-end retreat."

- Roberta Trentin, Hudson Woods

We Don't Just List Homes. We Build a Case for Them.

The results speak for themselves. We sell homes faster, at a higher list-to-sale price ratio and with a closing rate (listings that don’t expire) that exceeds all of the large agents/teams in the Catskills + Hudson Valley.

Compass Sports & Entertainment Division. An Elite Group.

Membership in the S&E Division is extended to just 175 agents (from a national network of over 37,000 agents) based on expertise, volume and standard of client service. The Division exists for entertainers, C-suite executives, athletes and high-net-worth individuals for whom discretion, precision and results are non-negotiable.

For our clients in the Catskills and Hudson Valley, this membership means something concrete: direct relationships with the most trusted agents in every major US market. Whether you’re buying or selling here or in NYC, relocating to another city or need an introduction to the right broker in any market nationwide, we have the connection.

12 Days on Market  ·  Multiple Offers  ·  Sold $3.25M  ·  Record Catskills Sale for a 2BD  ·  125K+ Instagram Views

Before listing, we spent time on-site identifying every item of deferred maintenance that would affect buyer perception and price. We brought in a local contractor to complete the work, staged the home, and launched a targeted marketing campaign. Multiple Instagram posts went viral with over 125K+ views. The pricing strategy was engineered to create competitive tension from day one.


Result: 12 days on market. Multiple offers. Sold at $3.25M, 21% above ask and a record sale price for a 2-bedroom in the Catskills.

7 Days on Market · Multiple Offers · Sold $1.46M · $500K Above Competing Brokers’ Estimates

When Thad and Abby interviewed brokers, they were told to expect under $1M. We strongly disagreed. Based on our read of the market and what buyers will pay for specific attributes, we set a target of $1.3M+ brought in our stylist to stage the property and built a photo and video package designed to drive a strong open house turnout.


Result: 7 days on market. Multiple offers. Sold at $1.46M, nearly $500K above what every other broker said was achievable.

5 Days on Market · Multiple Offers · Sold $1.2M · 155K Instagram Views

The sellers wanted a specific number and weren't interested in listing for less. After multiple conversations, we identified targeted, cost-efficient renovations that would shift buyer perception without a major capital outlay. The launch generated 155,000 Instagram views and four open houses in two weeks produced exactly the competitive environment we anticipated.


Result: 8 days on market. Multiple offers above ask. Sold at $1.2M, 20% above asking price and $300K above what the sellers thought possible.

21 Days on Market · Multiple Offers · Sold $1.59M

The sellers relocated to London and needed certainty, not just speed. Before they left, we photographed the property fully staged so buyers could see the home at its best, not empty. We set an aim-high price, ran four open houses, and managed the full process remotely on the sellers' behalf.


Result: 21 days on market. Multiple offers. Sold at $1.59M, with the sellers an ocean away throughout.

36 Days on Market · 25 Showings · Multiple Offers · Sold $1.65M

The sellers knew their property was special but also understood it needed attention. We compiled a short list of minimum-impact improvements, just the work required to justify the price, not a full renovation. Thereafter we staged the home and launched with an aim-high strategy built on the property's old-world charm and unique setting.


Result: 36 days on market. 25 showings. Multiple offers. Sold at $1.65M, approximately $200K above what the sellers believed was achievable.
