About
Rooted in the Catskills.
Built for Homeowners.
Home-KeepR was created for the kind of homeowner who wants their place upstate to feel like a refuge — not a project. We sit at the intersection of home watch, lifestyle concierge, and design.

The name
KeepR works on multiple levels: to keep (protect and maintain), a keep (the most fortified part of a castle — the place that safeguards what matters most), and keeper (someone entrusted with something valuable).
Two pillars, one identity
Home-KeepR Home is the recurring watch and concierge relationship at the heart of the company. Home-KeepR Design handles organization, renovation design consulting, and staging — open to any homeowner in the region.
About Home-KeepR
We didn't start this business because we saw a gap in the market.
We started it because we lived the problem.

Andrew and I purchased our home in West Shokan in 2021 and fell completely in love with the Hudson Valley. We also spent two years experiencing firsthand how hard it is to manage a home from a distance. The vendor who doesn't show. The fridge that needs to be stocked. The Friday night arrival that feels more like a second job than an escape.
Between us we've owned five homes, built one from scratch — three with pools — and managed multi-million dollar businesses across fashion, media, and technology. We know how to build something and run it well.
In 2024 we made it official and moved to the Hudson Valley full time. We decided to follow our passion and build Home-KeepR for homeowners just like we were — people who love their homes up here but spend too much of their precious time managing them instead of enjoying them. That felt like a problem worth solving.
Andrew handles the backbone of Home-KeepR Home — the vendor relationships, the maintenance coordination, the contractor who actually shows up. He's the person who makes sure things actually get done — the right vendor, at the right time, without you having to think about it.
I handle everything that makes a home feel like one. The arrival prep, the organization, the design eye that turns a weekend house into somewhere you're genuinely proud of — whether you're walking in on a Friday night or preparing to sell. For more than 20 years, friends and family turned to me before listing, before renovating, before making decisions that involved a contractor, a paint color, or a floor plan. Home-KeepR Design is that — now available to a select group of homeowners in this valley we chose to call home.
But a great home is only half of it. The Hudson Valley is one of the most extraordinary places in the world to spend your free time — and most busy professionals only get to scratch the surface of what's actually here. Living here full time gives us access to real, current, local knowledge. We know the chef who just opened the restaurant everyone will be talking about next month. We know which concert is worth rearranging your Saturday for. We know the gallery opening, the farm dinner, the hiking trail that most people drive right past. That's why every Home-KeepR client receives our Insider Guide — a curated, constantly updated window into the arts, music, food, and events that make this valley worth coming back to time after time.
We keep our client list small on purpose. Every home we work with gets the same care we give our own. That's not an empty promise — it's because we care about doing it the best way possible.
