REAL ESATE PROFESSIONAL

Meet Michael Arnold

My name is Michael. I moved to the beautiful Hudson Valley back in 2020 and have never looked back. I’m the owner and manager of The Willow, a boutique hotel in Catskill. I love my new home upstate, and it’s become my passion to help others find and secure their own little piece of Hudson Valley heaven.

Each Hudson Valley town has its own unique character. Having lived in Hudson, Catskill, Cairo, and now Coxsackie, I’ve established strong relationships in each area, which directly benefit my clients.

As a trusted real estate agent, I help clients discover homes that reflect the beauty and balance of the Hudson Valley. From first-time buyers to seasoned investors, I bring insight, integrity, and a local’s perspective to every transaction.

Regardless of where you choose to land, I’m excited to help you navigate the process!

  • Michael was so fun to work with during my first home buying experience. He was very responsive, patient, and reliable. He got answers to my questions right away and helped me through some serious negotiations. Michael was professional and communicating with him was easy and transparent. I would 100% recommend working with Michael when looking for a home. I didn't even think I was ready to buy a home when I first started looking but he helped me find the perfect place and I'm so glad he did! Thanks Michael!

  • Michael was instrumental in my purchase of a country house for investment purposes in the Hudson valley. Michael knows that market very well, is extremely patient, friendly, takes the time to really understand your goals and what you’re looking for and will go the xtra mile to make it happen. Overall I had the best experience working with him and would recommend in a heartbeat.

  • We loved working with Michael! We had another realtor but decided to see a house on a whim through Zillow and are so glad we met Michael. He understood our vision and our needs immediately. We were able to trust his judgement and put in an offer on a house that had a very limited viewing window site-unseen. He helped coordinate with the seller for two viewings once the offer was in and helped us find a trusted local septic company, inspector and a contractor!

  • Michael was a pleasure to work with, as buyers who weren’t super familiar with the area, he was very insightful on where we should look based on our interests and criteria. He was flexible with our schedule and showing times and stepped in to look at places for us when we wouldn’t make it. He managed all communication with sellers in a timely and effective way.

  • I was very impressed with Michael Arnold. He was very easy to communicate with, extremely knowledgeable about the process, and very helpful in getting me the price I wanted. I look forward to using him again!

  • I can honestly say that Michael Arnold is hands down the best realtor I’ve ever worked with. His energy, positivity, and genuine care for his clients set him miles apart from other realtors. He was always willing to show me any home, anywhere in the state, without hesitation. That kind of dedication is rare, and it made all the difference in finding the right place. Beyond his professionalism and expertise, it’s Michael’s personality that truly shines. He brought warmth, humor, and heart to the whole process and made it smooth, efficient and enjoyable — which is saying something when it comes to real estate! If you’re looking for someone who’s not just a realtor but a true advocate and partner in your home search, Michael Arnold is the one.

  • Michael was an outstanding support in helping my partner and I buy our first home. He was thoughtful and responsive, while also being a strong advocate for us as we negotiated terms. He was also extremely knowledgeable in the area (we were looking at homes in the Catskills, around Hunter Mountain). Michael was proactive in keeping us updated on where we were in the buying process and giving us advice on our options to address sporadic challenges between our lawyer, mortgage lender, and the seller. My partner and I had a group chat with him where we felt comfortable asking him all sorts of questions, which we especially valued a lot as first-time home buyers.

  • Although Mike didn’t represent us directly, he was incredibly helpful and professional throughout the entire process. As the sellers’ agent, he was responsive, respectful, and transparent — always getting back to us quickly, even after the deal was done. When we had questions about transferring utilities and getting things set up after closing, Mike was still there to assist, which we truly appreciated. It was clear he cared about making the process smooth for everyone involved. We’re grateful for his support and would happily work with him again in the future.
