Whether you're buying, selling, or investing in real estate, I am dedicated to helping you navigate the process with ease and confidence.

Hello, my name is Kimberly Defaria, and I simply love real estate. I will provide you exceptional, personalized service with honesty, integrity, and trust. Spending most of my life in the heart of Central New York, I am confident in knowing the area and all that it has to offer. I am proud to share that I have spent 38 years in the service industry. The majority of those years owning and operating my own business. The greatest take away from that is how immensely grateful I am for the incredible individuals I've met along the way. It has made for an unforgettable journey. A journey I wish to continue as being your real estate agent. Let me introduce you to a transaction that will bring great joy to your life.

Being born and raised in Upstate New York, allows me the opportunity to provide knowledgeable, firsthand experience and information regarding the many attributes our area has to offer. Enjoying the majority of my adult life as an Army spouse allows me to relate to the struggles of moving into a new area with very little information to work with. Asa proud wife of a New York State Corrections Officer and Mother of three, I know that quality time spent with those we love is of the essence.

My Goal as your Real Estate Agent is to allow you that time while I handle the rest. My job is to advocate for you; my client, from beginning to end. I want to make your transition as enjoyable and smooth as possible. As a home-owner myself, I understand the stress that commonly accompanies such an exciting transition. I also understand that buying and selling your home is likely the largest investment of your personal life, and I will treat it as such!

My name is Andrea Wheeler and I am a Real Estate salesperson with River Hills Properties LLC.

I ask you to kick back…we’ve got this!

I’m pleased to continue my downstate real estate career here in the Mohawk Valley and surrounding areas with the added benefit of joining RiverHills Properties. I chose River Hills over any other brokerage due to their 'WOW' marketing and service protocols as well as a family atmosphere. My mission is to provide you with exceptional service whether you are a seller or a buyer or both resulting in a highly satisfying outcome and experience for you and your family. I’ll be with you every step of the way! Most sales I participated in were Victorians. The most memorable sale I participated in was a stunning Queen Anne Victorian, originally an extravagant wedding gift from a wealthy beer baron to his daughter with “no expenses spared”. It was that amazing—more like a museum, so filled with details and was featured on an HBO program: ‘Boardwalk Empire’ which ran for 5 seasons. Smaller residences were included – In creating ads I was always striving to present the ‘unique’ and ‘best’ qualities and advantages of each home no matter how big or how small. I worked with buyers with a deep interest in their needs and preferences in locating ‘just the right one’. I look forward to serving you and your family!

My name is John Sageer, and I am a full-time, real estate professional with River Hills Properties. Each year in real estate, I have received the President’s Club Award. Awarded only to the top producing agents within our firm. Previously in my professional career, I’ve opened and operated restaurants around the country. There is a common denominator in achieving a high level of success in either profession, and that is Hospitality. How you treat people matters, and that’s why so many of my clients I’ve become close with, like family. My love for the Mohawk Valley has brought me back home, where today, I raise my 3 boys with my beautiful wife, Lynsi. When I’m not out hustling houses, you will find me taking in all that our beautiful city of Utica has to offer. From grabbing a bite to eat from any one of our fabulous eateries to catching a show at the historic Stanley Theatre. If you’re a sports fan like me, you’ll love that Utica is home to the Utica Comets, the AHL farm team to the New Jersey Devils. Utica has seen such an incredible growth spurt over the last few years, and there is no end in sight as we continue to grow. From our brand new, state of the art Wynn hospital in the downtown district, or the ever-expanding Harbor Point project to Wolf Speed, located on the Suny Poly campus in Marcy, NY. Wolf Speed is the world’s largest silicon carbide fabrication facility, creating thousands of high paying jobs. Allow me the utmost privilege and opportunity to share the many highlights of the Mohawk Valley as we search for your dream home. In the event you are looking to sell your home, you will be equally amazed at the elite level of services that we provide at River Hills Properties.

My name is Bryan Bennett and I’m a licensed real estate salesperson with the incredible Mosher Team at River Hills Properties.

Growing up in central New York, I was an active member of our community. I learned the importance of teamwork, accountability, punctuality, and professionalism. Using these skills, I graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology with a bachelor's degree in Professional Photographic Illustration & a concentration in photojournalism.

After graduating from RIT, I spent a few years traveling wherever my camera would bring me, eventually settling back here in Central New York! You may have seen me on the Buffalo Bills sidelines, Syracuse basketball & football games, or photographing COVID baseball for clients such as Getty Images, NASCAR, MLB, and many more. My experience in networking & photography has offered me the opportunity to meet a wide variety of people across different industries which is advantageous to my growth as a realtor. I can not only photograph your home, I can effectively market it & sell it too!

Real Estate has always been an interest of mine, and with the right timing, I was able to turn that interest into a reality. I am immensely excited and grateful to begin this next chapter with this incredible team of agents.

While under my representation, I ensure the utmost support and availability for both buyers & sellers through the entirety of their real estate journey. It may be intimidating, but I'm here to help!

We’re Bill and Stacey McAdams, although many know us as Polly and Tad from
the radio. While we have traveled considerable miles across the great USA,
we have called Central New York home for nearly 20 years. We chose to end
our travels and remain here because of the great people we have met and the
spectacular views from the Mohawk Valley to the Adirondacks and Catskills
Mountains. What a great place to live! With all the traveling and
relocating, we are experienced in how difficult and stressful it can be to
buy and sell a home if you don’t have the right realtor. After meeting
Robin and Bill at River Hills Properties and learning their unique approach
to finding the perfect place for you, we knew our next adventure would
keep us in CNY for years to come. There are many integral parts to River
Hills' “way of doing things.”

***No lock boxes, we will be the biggest cheerleader at every walk-thru of
your one-of-a-kind home. Showcasing all the features and armed with all the
knowledge and history of your castle.

***Tours of your home will be planned at your convenience and with 48-hour
notice, no last-minute scrambling to get dinner dishes done or
straightening up the décor.

***No concerns about pets getting loose or strangers going through your
personal belongings, we are there!

***we are there every step of the way, for tours, appraisals, and inspections.

We would be honored to have the opportunity to make your family’s buying,
selling, and relocating the easiest transition possible and not only meet,
but exceed your expectations. Please contacts us for a “free - no
obligation” consultation on what your home’s value and what the current
trends are in the market.

Hello, I'm Tracey Pine. My family and I moved from Los Angeles to the Mohawk Valley in 2006. It was a long road trip with 2 dogs, a 20 year old cat, and our 2 year old! Often, when folks learn I moved here from L.A., they'll look at me funny and ask, "Why?". Why not? It seems to me this area and its beauty is under appreciated. Homes are affordable and there's very little traffic! I'm from L.A. I should know. Plus, it's the best of both worlds. There's the bustle and nightlife of the city or the serenity of the country. Finding excitement at a casino or in a corn maze, seeing a Broadway show at The Stanley or hanging with friends at a dog-friendly brew pub….It's up to you! I have a customer-centric sales background and have always been drawn to homes, architecture, and design. Whether you're buying a home to put down roots or selling your home to start a new adventure, Let me help you make the transition easier. My focus is to make buying or selling your home, a positive experience. I'll be there from start to finish!

I’ve had the pleasure of living all across the United States, from the bustling East Coast to the wide-open West Coast.

It’s a place that has it all - vibrant city life, breathtaking natural beauty, delicious food, and friendly people. We have cutting edge technology being built at Wolf Speed and the Air Force Research Lab in Rome, the brand-new Wynn Hospital in downtown Utica, entertainment at The Stanley, and the beautiful Adirondack Mountains steps away.

I was born and raised in Upstate New York, mainly residing in Barneveld. After I went to college in Albany, I decided to move back home to be with the love of my life, Adam, who is proudly a NYS Trooper. We have started a family of our own in Cold Brook with a bunch of furry, four-legged children. I have learned that our Mohawk Valley is so diverse. From being able to stay close to my family and head over to my grandparent’s house to enjoy my grandmother’s famous tuna noodle casserole to going ice fishing for lake trout with my husband all in the same day. The ability to be so close to my family and partake in so many outdoor activities with my loved ones is to never be taken for granted! This is one of the many reasons the Mohawk Valley is truly so special!

You may have noticed that I share a last name with the Owner and Broker of River Hills Properties, Robin Mongeau as well as the CEO, William Mongeau. They are my parents and they have raised me to be a mini version of themselves, which quite frankly means I was blessed. This also means that I have been IMMERSED in the real estate business ever since I was 15. I have had the opportunity to watch and observe THE BEST in the business. To put the cherry on top, my father encouraged me to pursue business in college so I would be a double edged sword in the real estate world. I graduated with my Bachelor of Science with a focus in Business Administration and my Masters of Business Administration from the University at Albany. I can also proudly say I earned a Magna Cum Laude GPA both during my undergraduate and graduate years in college. It’s safe to say, I’m more than the owners’ daughter. I am elated to be a part of the River Hills family and I truly cannot wait to show you how we are THE BEST in the business.

From NYC to CNY. I moved here from Queens, New York, with my wife about ten years ago, and there has been no looking back. We have grown to love our community and the surrounding areas, more with each day. Being a third-generation plumber and a homeowner myself, I know just how important it is to find the right place to call home. From the infrastructure, to the feel of the house, and to the protection that it offers to your family, home is an important place to be… and what better place to call home, then CNY!

My passion for real estate came into fruition after I had to sell my home in Queens, NY. The realtor that I was working with was supposed to be one of the ‘Best in the Biz’. I was sorely mistaken, as the ONLY time that I saw them was to sign a disclosure form. After that, I was tossed aside and handed off to agent after agent. There was no communication and any time that I needed to reach them, they were always ‘busy’. I basically had to show and sell the home myself. They weren’t even there for closing, which is no way to do business, and I don’t want others to undergo that type of treatment. This is why I decided to become a realtor for River Hills Properties, known for their first-class treatment and respect for your home. With River Hills, we are with you each and every step of the way.

Whether buying or selling your property, looking for land or investment opportunities, or even a place to rent, I’m your guy… because, after all it’s Real Estate, by George!

Hi, I’m Steven Richardson, the newest licensed real estate agent with River Hills Properties LLC.

I’m proud to call the Mohawk Valley home, having grown up in the region and graduated from Fort Plain High School. After serving four years on active duty in the U.S. Navy with Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron 7—including four deployments and seven missions supporting Joint Special Operations Task Force—I pursued business studies at Full Sail University and Valencia College in Orlando, FL.

From 2016 to 2020, I worked in luxury hospitality at the Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills before returning to upstate New York. Back home, I became Assistant Director of the Herkimer 9 Development Project under ‘The Human Calculator’ Scott Flansburg and later launched my own independent event planning and marketing business.

In 2022, I took on a major role as Estate Sale Coordinator for the estate of late inventor Daniel Preston—a position I continue to hold. Through that experience, I connected with River Hills Properties, and over two years, we built a strong and trusted relationship. So when they asked me to join the team, the answer was easy.

It’s an exciting time to be in real estate, especially here in Central New York as the region experiences a true renaissance. I can’t wait to help you discover the incredible opportunities and hidden gems that make this place so special.
