Upstate Curious Team at Compass is a Top Real Estate Team. Here’s what you need to know:Â
Upstate Curious Team at Compass is a premier team powered by PLACE, led by seasoned real estate professional Megan Brenn-White. Â With an eye on the housing market in NY, Megan provides unparalleled support for buyers and sellers alike.

Operating in Accord (5145 Route 209, 12404) and the surrounding area, these real estate pros offer deep local knowledge and a client-first approach backed by the strength of the PLACE network.
Here’s what Primpted uncovered about the coveted PLACE affiliation—and this top-tier team who earned a spot on our list.
- Top Dollar Sales: Sellers working with agents in PLACE consistently earn significantly more than FSBO sellers. Hiring a PLACE agent vs selling “For Sale By Owner” can net a home owner up to $79,000 more on average.
- Marketing Muscle:  PLACE agents don’t just list homes they have extensive marketing plans. Your home is marketed like a product launch, with pro videos, targeted digital campaigns, retargeting campaigns, and high-converting content across every platform. Plus they tap into their vast network of both the local community & national professional affiliations.
- Faster Sales: With strategic pricing and staging advice, PLACE listings sell faster, reducing days on market and carrying costs.
- Expert Negotiation: From inspection credits to appraisal gaps, PLACE agents are trained to protect seller profit at every step.

3 months agoWe can’t say enough good things about Kristen and the team at Upstate Curious. From the very beginning, Kristen was incredibly personal, hands-on, and genuinely invested in us and our experience. Buying a home is never without its ups and downs, and our journey definitely had a few unexpected twists with the sellers along the way. Through it all, Kristen was a steady, calm, and incredibly supportive presence. She communicated clearly, advocated for us when it mattered most, and always made us feel like a priority — never just another transaction. Kristen went above and beyond to keep everything moving forward, helped us navigate some tricky moments, and ultimately got us across the finish line. We truly felt supported every step of the way. If you’re looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, responsive, and deeply committed to her clients, we wholeheartedly recommend Kristen and Upstate Curious.

3 months agoI worked with Craig Smith to sell a property and he was amazing. The best. He was a total pro from start to finish; he's easy to work with and understands the market and the process extremely well. Super smart and very kind. A wonderful agent!

8 months agoWe had the opportunity to work with Lacey of Upstate Curious this past spring to find our first home together, and it was a wonderful experience! From the start Lacey was honest about how the process would go and gave us realistic expectations while being encouraging. She got us showings so quickly and was there for us with any questions we had. When it came time to make an offer, she knew exactly how to sweeten the deal and make it happen so we could beat out two other offers! Not only is she an incredible realtor, but a kind, considerate, and really cool person. We found the home of our dreams that fit every single criteria from seeing it on a whim with Lacey; she called day of for a showing! The closing process went faster than expected, Lacey making sure we got the best out of every situation. We would recommend her highly to any first time home buyers or friends, she is THE one to have on your team!

5 months agoIf you're buying or selling a house in the Catskills or Hudson Valley, you must work with Upstate Curious. I had the pleasure of working with Katy, who helped me navigate all the many moving parts of the selling process. Not only is she super knowledgeable, she's patient and collaborative, ensuring I had the best process and sale as possible! Grateful for the opportunity to work with Katy and Upstate Curious!

9 months agoWe had the pleasure of working with Jessica Scott at Upstate Curious to find our new home. She was warm, professional and knowledgeable. She remained calm and flexible when our changing list of priorities would have given anyone else whiplash. She genuinely shared our enthusiasm when we found a place that felt just right! We made a choice with our hearts and Jessica advocated for us and negotiated a deal on a highly sought after property. We are so happy to have had a real estate agent who understood our needs and guided us every step of the way.
