Samantha Halpern
Owner, Licensed Broker, Property Manager
I am the founder of Cooperstown Realty, a boutique brokerage focused on residential sales, rentals, and investment properties. With years of experience and a client-centered approach, I provide personalized service and insights into Cooperstown’s unique real estate market. As a seasoned investor myself, I specialize in transforming properties, from historic homes or vacation rentals, into profitable investments. Originally from Buffalo, I moved to Fly Creek in 2019 to raise my family and fell in love with the area. When not working in real estate, I also serve as a Physical Therapist, helping residents recover and reach their full potential.
