Let me be your unfair advantage in this crazy, ever changing real estate market.
— Don Gendron
I was born to Donald and Kathleen (Condon) Gendron in Syracuse. I attended LaFayette Schools from kindergarten until graduation in 1982.
I married Jean Bartella from Westvale in 1993 and we have two daughters, Abigail (Abbey) & Victoria (Tory). Both of my children graduated from ESM and where they received a top-notch education.
Abbey completed her Doctorate in Pharmacology from The University of Rhode Island (URI). She is now Dr. Gendron.
Tory obtained her EMT Certification from Upstate and has worked for AMR as an EMT for the past two years. She lives nearby with her Chihuahua. Phoebe, who we dog sit often.
Jean and I live in historic Sedgwick and we have a cottage on Oneida Lake that we enjoy spending our summers at. We also have owned a time-share in Vero Beach for the past 18 years and it is our families favorite place in the world.
As the former Marketing Director/Operations Manager for RE/MAX Masters, Gallinger GMAC, Mark Mayer Real Estate and Prudential First Properties and RE/MAX Manager of the Year for the State of New York, I now utilize my education and experience in personally assisting my buyers and sellers. I may be the most unfair advantage for you in this crazy real estate market.
Additionally, I am a Certified New York State Paralegal, NYS Notary Public and a Mortgage Loan Originator (ML# 1626156). I have served on many local boards including the Town of DeWitt Parks & Recreation Commission Chairman, President of Bishops House Estates Homeowner’s Association and Chairman of the Greater Syracuse Association of Realtors Website Committee. I currently serve on the GSAR Marketing Committee.
I attended Jackson State College, Onondaga Community College and Columbia College as well as becoming a Certified Real Estate Trainer with Buffini & Company and Dale Carnegie “effective communication” attendee.
In my 17 year career at RE/MAX I was fortunate to be listed in the top 10% in New York State with my inclusion in the 100% Club for 10 years as well as induction into the Hall of Fame, having earned over 1 million dollars in commissions.
First Class Service.
Who.
I am an NYS Associate Real Estate Broker, ABR, NYS Certified Paralegal, Mortgage Loan Originator (ML# 1626156), RE/MAX of New York Manager of the Year, Marketing Director for three of the Top Real Estate Companies in Syracuse and ranked in the top 10% of sales in the country.
What.
What I do differently starts with my slogan, You receiving First Class Service is the reason I have 100% repeat and referral business. Being called The First Class Agent is more about you, then it is about me. Read the many reviews by my current and past clients.
Where.
I serve all of Central New York. I have traveled as far North as The Thousand Islands, as far East as Oneida, as far West as Auburn and as far South as Cortland. I can also refer you to a real estate agent anywhere in the world. I refer many clients to Florida Realtors.
When.
I work seven days, and my phone is on 14 hours a day. If I will be unavailable, my message will tell you when you can expect a call back. Sometimes a text can work quicker, when it is not convenient to talk.
Why.
I entered the real estate industry to make a living and make a difference. There are now nearly 1,900 Realtors in our marketplace, but only one called “The First Class Agent.” Doesn’t everyone deserve First Class Service?
How.
It begins with Trust. I don’t care what type of service you are looking for, if you don’t trust what you are being told, get someone else. When you hire me, I will always tell you the truth.

Don was absolutely fantastic. We couldn’t have had a better person by our side during our first home purchase. He went above and beyond for us at every opportunity. He’s really nice and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is buying a home. We want to thank you again for helping us.

Choosing the right agent is so important, and anyone seeking the best should choose Don Gendron. Don is knowledgeable, skilled at pricing right and negotiating, and most importantly advocates for you and your interests when he represents you. He will give you sound advice, his honest opinion, and follow through on every step of the process. Don recently listed and closed the sale of my property. I HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone looking to sell or buy. He’s simply the best.

"We highly recommend Don Gendron. We had the best experience buying and selling and he is such a super nice guy. Everything went so smoothly, and we used people he recommended on his list. He knows this business well and has a legal background. He knows the entire CNY area and got us the TOP price for our home with no hassles in Liverpool. He did beautiful brochures/business cards/description/pictures of our home. We had 2 offers the first day! A realtor/friend you can trust! "
True thoughtfulness is lovely and rare. Thank you for all of your patience, hard work and support. It was very appreciated.
