ALLEN Olmstead & ALL his staff were EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL & VERY GENUINE! ADELINE was a NATURAL "people person" that was very knowledgeable of the business overall & yet always patient & kind. EVERYONE had a way of making you feel special & were very DOWN TO EARTH & easy to work with. Smoke Tree Farm was in our family for many generations & therefore was not easy to sell for us personally but they took that into consideration & helped us through every step of the process. No question was a stupid question & they always got back to us with a smile to top it off! Highly recommended!! ~ Denise V
Allen Olmsted is the best Real Estate Broker I have ever worked with! I have purchased and sold multiple residential and undeveloped land parcels in several states. Allen leads an excellent Real Estate team. Especially notable among key staff I have worked with is Samantha Leader. Grace Roberts and Isaac Olmsted were also very helpful with selling a farm I owned. Allen and Samantha were recently very responsive in assisting me with finding a home to rent. My choice will be Canaan Realty whenever I want help buying or selling real estate property! ~ M R
In a very tough situation, a dilemma brought about chiefly by a very competitive real estate market, Mr. Olmstead very correctly chose to fulfill his legal obligation and fiduciary duty to his clients. Simply put, he did his job and put the best interests of his clients first above all else. He is loyal, professional, affable, patient, and of the very highest character. He goes way above and beyond as a matter of course, and is an outstanding credit to his profession. If you want the best, go see Allen Olmstead and his most excellent team. He and his team are, undeniably, the very best! ~ Wayne W
Canaan Realty surpassed our expectations in marketing and selling our farm. Allen Olmsted is professional, experienced, and dedicated to working for you. Our listing was amazing. The detailed description of the property, pictures, maps, and an aerial video with music, literally took you on a guided tour of the farm. We feel fortunate to have had the best agent. And we realize we could not have done this alone. Canaan Realty’s customer service team is exceptional. Each person will go above and beyond to help with your questions and concerns. Weather your a buyer or seller, Allen and his team will guide you each step from start to finish. Their dedication, integrity, and hard work is what sets Canaan Realty apart from others. My husband and I will recommend Allen Olmsted of Canaan Realty to everyone we know. We wish you continued success with your future transactions. Thank you Allen, Grace, Adeline, and Isaac Art and Janice ~ Janice F
We couldn't be more pleased with the sale of our 26 acres of land in Cazenovia. Allen and his team at Canaan Realty made the process so very easy for my family, who was wrestling with selling the land or not after being in the family for so long. From getting family agreement on the initial valuation to managing the negotiation of multiple offers to recommending a path forward and making the closing process seamless, we were very pleased. I just wish we had more land to sell. ~ David N
I worked with Allen @ Canaan Realty when I bought my first home years ago… When I made the decision to sell this home and purchase another, I knew I wanted to work with Allen again based upon my excellent experience! Allen and his team made the process seamless and were very helpful with EVERYTHING along the way!! I am happy to say if I ever decide to sell again, I know who I will be working with. Thank you, Allen, Adeline, Grace and Samantha! ~ Lynsie P
Allen and his team were the absolute best. We were so impressed with Allen's knowledge of the ins and outs of real estate, and we were equally impressed with how highly everyone else we worked with spoke of him (attorneys, appraisers, inspectors, lenders, etc.). He is well known and known well. We were also so pleased with Adeline's service; she is warm-hearted, prompt, and professional. This is a very reliable company. ~ Christina Z
Allen and his team… Best realtor ever and he wasn’t even mine. He was the Sellers realtor, not mine! One of the best decisions I’ve made, is to NOT use another realtor to represent me. In short, he navigated between the seller and me exceedingly well. The proof in in the outcome. Very happy seller and buyer His team is exceptional with high integrity and Allen’s contacts and knowledge are rare. David Wilcox ~ David W

Magnificent from the beginning to the conclusion! The Canaan "crew" were everything we could have asked for and more in selling and concluding a real estate transaction.The "crew" addressed and made everything easy and logical as we navigated the unfamiliar terrain......could not have asked for more and would do business with them again in a heartbeat! Thanks to the entire "crew"! ~ richard h
