Wayne Perras - Real Estate Associate Broker

As you can tell I've not tended to this page at all for the last couple of years... Got tired of trying to explain why I had to switch brokers roughly four times in the last 5 years... Or was it five times in the past 6 years..? I've had a lot on my mind other than and in addition to real estate these last 10 years... But as of early in 2026 I am reestablished in Saratoga Springs by virtue of joining Properly Real estate... 462 Broadway, Saratoga Springs 12866,
Second floor, by appointment only.... It's a very roomy and high ceiling co-op office space with great views of Broadway and the feeling of being in the heart of it all without the high expense of renting a private office. For me after being in Ballston spa and then Lake George offices for the past 5 years it's good to be back in the heart of the small City I called my own for the halcyon years...
First as a downtown bohemian bachelor during the the late 70s all through the wild '80s... and then raising my kids within the school system from the '90s onward.. nto the burgeoning early 2000s when Saratoga Springs' growth and popularity became exponential ... I was working around the corner on Putnam place during my decade long stint with REMAX Park Place... I went through a series of changes after that franchise became problematic but I'll mention all that stuff in some other context.
Let's just say that over the course of my 38 years of real estate experience in the Capital district & greater Saratoga I found out how a lot of companies and brokerages are run and I've never quite meshed with any of them.
The last company I was with was a bureaucracy spread over four states and even though I liked the local location there was ultimately too much pretension and too many self-important people for me... I've always been more or less a man of the people... And the huge egos involved in this particular form of business and constant self-aggrandizement has gotten real old to me.

This no nonsense firm I joined is the opposite.
There are No frills or lavish self endorsements... They just know how to get things done.
Owned and operated by Adam VanDervoort . To those who follow such things I'll be sharing my business with Adam himself, or Bradley Laustraup.... A high producing agent for this company for the past few years.
My goal is not so much to attract new buyers or sellers although that would be fine but I want to reconnect with as many of my prior clients as I can in the next year or two as I look to make it 40 years in this business. I still have some writing to do as well...
Despite my numerous changes of company...

Greetings once again to Facebook business page...
I admit I have not updated anything on here of late which will begin to change from this point on.... My prior post was to establish The fact that I needed some boundaries to the hours of the business... And since I've been doing this a 3rd of a century now... I was frankly facing a bit of burnout Before & After Covid-19... Having dealt with a divorce and Lyme disease these and all the inconveniences inconveniences of the pandemic era... Frankly I needed a break.
But over this past summer I have traveled a bit and then very well rested and I'm ready To face the challenges of the market in the Fall of 2021.

The greater capital district and especially Saratoga County but county have always been my Bailliewick... And I love both Washington County to the East as well as Fulton County to the West of Saratoga. And I love both Washington County to the East as well as Fulton County to the West of Saratoga.

Out of those 4600 agents I believe only about 2% of them have been doing this as long or longer than myself. Many have not seen anything but the hot seller's market... And will
Not know how to cope when a change is upon us... I like to think I can find my buyers really good bargains even in a tough market and I can I can service the sellers sellers with intelligence and clever marketing...
But I will not be involved in gimmicky and
