Michael Dunstan is a full-time Dutchess County real estate agent and Licensed Real Estate Salesperson with RE/MAX Town & Country. Born and raised in Dutchess County, Michael has a lifelong connection to the Hudson Valley and a detailed understanding of its communities, housing market and unique real estate challenges.
A graduate of Arlington High School and Marist College, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing, Michael spent 15 years building a successful career in Fortune 500 sales leadership before entering real estate. That experience strengthened the communication, marketing and negotiation skills that now help his clients successfully buy and sell homes throughout the Hudson Valley.
Michael has completed more than 200 real estate transactions and earned over 100 five-star reviews from buyers and sellers on Zillow. His professional accomplishments include induction into the RE/MAX Hall of Fame, RE/MAX Platinum Club recognition from 2020 through 2024, the 2024 RE/MAX Town & Country Office MVP Award, 2025 Re/Max Top Producer Award & Re/Max Chairman Award and recognition as a Hudson Valley Magazine Top Realtor.
Although production and awards demonstrate experience, Michael believes his greatest responsibility is guiding clients through one of the most important financial and personal decisions of their lives. He has built his business through honest communication, strong relationships, creative negotiation and a solutions-first approach. Michael remains directly involved from the initial consultation through closing, giving every client responsive, hands-on service.
For homeowners selling a property in Dutchess County or the surrounding Hudson Valley, Michael provides a customized strategy covering preparation, pricing, professional marketing, showings, offer evaluation, inspections, appraisals and closing. He has extensive experience helping sellers address open permits, missing certificates of occupancy, municipal searches, septic and well systems, radon concerns, underground oil tanks and other issues that can complicate a transaction.
Michael also works closely with first-time buyers, experienced homeowners, investors and people relocating to the Hudson Valley. He helps buyers evaluate properties, understand comparable sales, structure competitive offers and navigate inspections, financing, appraisal contingencies and attorney review. His professional network includes experienced local attorneys, lenders, inspectors, title professionals and contractors who can assist when specialized guidance is needed.
Michael’s real estate services include residential homes, condominiums, multifamily properties, rentals, land, estates, farms, investment properties and select commercial transactions. He serves communities throughout Dutchess County, including Poughkeepsie, LaGrange, Wappingers Falls, Fishkill, East Fishkill, Hopewell Junction, Hyde Park, Pleasant Valley, Beacon, Union Vale, Stormville and Pawling. He also represents clients in Putnam, Ulster and northern Westchester counties, including Carmel, Kent, Highland, Milton, Cortlandt and Pleasantville.
Outside of real estate, Michael is a devoted husband and father who has remained involved in the community through youth sports, LaGrange Little League and local autism-related organizations. His local roots and personal connection to the Hudson Valley are central to the way he works: every transaction is more than a sale, it represents an important transition in someone’s life.
Whether you are preparing to sell a home, searching for the right property or trying to resolve an issue before entering the market, Michael Dunstan offers local expertise, proven results and personal guidance from beginning to close.
