ABOUT JEFF

Jeffrey "Jeff" McKinney is an Associate Real Estate Broker, and Beach & Bartolo's Sales Manager. Jeff takes an extremely proactive, and "hands-on" approach with all his clients, and is with them through every step of the buying, selling, or renting process. In order to provide his clients with a high level of attention, he prefers to work with a small number of clients at a given time.

Jeff currently serves as Vice President of the Columbia Greene Northern Dutchess Multiple Listing Service (CGND MLS), and is a member of several Columbia Greene Board of Realtors Committees. In 2022, Jeff earned the National Association of REALTORS®’ [NAR’s] At Home With Diversity (AHWD) Certification.*

Jeff brings his background in T.V. production, and Online content development to the Real Estate profession, which gives him a unique perspective on staging, photographing, and marketing his client's properties. Jeff also combines social media strategies with proven Real Estate practices to help his clients sell their properties, and he has had proven success with helping homeowners sell previously "un-sellable" homes. When working with buyers, he makes it a personal mission to help clients find the home of their dreams.

Jeff was born in Philadelphia, PA, and eventually made his way to NYC after graduating college. A decade of weekend and holiday visits to Columbia County led Jeff to become a permanent resident of this beautiful area in 2007. At that time, he identified a lack of Online resources covering the county, and some of it’s smaller towns, so he created one, ColumbiaCountyCurrent.com. 

In his spare time, Jeff enjoys spending time with his family, a good happy hour drink with friends, listening to a great music playlist, and continuing to explore Columbia County, to find new and exciting locations.
