About Us

Founded in 1986, CS Realty and Relocation Services helps clients buy, sell, and rent homes throughout Westchester County. Our agents specialize in residential sales, condominium and co-op sales, townhouse sales, and rental housing. This approach allows clients to work with an agent who understands their needs and knows the properties and communities that may suit them.

For founder Craig Scher, real estate has been his first and only career. He earned his New York State real estate salesperson’s license in 1984 at age 19 and his broker’s license in 1986, the year he founded CS Realty. His decades of experience continue to guide the company’s commitment to personal service and knowledgeable representation.

Craig’s use of technology began even before CS Realty launched its website. He created interactive property presentations on CD-ROM and produced the discs in his office, investing in CD-recording equipment that cost thousands of dollars at the time, well before it became commonplace. These presentations helped relocating clients explore properties, communities, schools, and local amenities. His work was featured in The Daily Item on August 18, 1995, in an article titled “House-hunters booting up.”

Craig was an early adopter of internet technology in Westchester County, registering csrealty.com in 1995. He was most likely the first Realtor in Westchester County to establish an internet presence with his own website and domain name. Archived pages from 1996 show CS Realty already providing property listings, rental-market information, and a mortgage-calculator link through its own website. That commitment continues today through practical online tools that help clients search, compare, and plan.

Our agents are the heart of CS Realty. Most have been with the company for more than ten years, and some for nineteen years or longer. Their talent, care, and dedication have helped build lasting relationships with clients and provide continuity throughout the buying, selling, and renting process.

For buyers and sellers, we offer experience across a wide range of property types, sizes, styles, and price points—from starter homes to waterfront estates, as well as condominiums, co-ops, and townhouses. Our agents help clients evaluate their options, understand the market, and negotiate price and terms.

For renters and landlords, our extensive rental experience and database of 3,561 landlords provide a broad range of opportunities throughout Westchester County. We offer furnished and unfurnished homes and apartments, with lease terms ranging from as little as three months to a year or more. Rentals may be available with 1–40 days’ notice, depending on the property. A rental representative will discuss your needs, arrange property visits, and help negotiate the price and terms of a suitable rental.

We have also helped thousands of relocating executives and families find homes throughout Westchester County. Whether your move is local or from outside the area, our goal is to make the search and transition well organized and straightforward.

At CS Realty, personal service means getting to know your priorities, answering your questions, and helping you make informed decisions. From the first conversation through the completed transaction, our team is committed to making your experience productive and enjoyable.
