BIO

A career in Real Estate
During the onset of the recession in 1989 through 1994, some of the worst years in recent real estate history, Cindy Stys, started a successful career as a Realtor at Coldwell Banker Phyllis Rubin Real Estate in Stroudsburg, PA. During that time Cindy was the recipient of several company marketing awards and had established her presence in the local market place as the horse property specialist. After getting married she moved to Switzerland teaming up with another Realtor. During month long visits back to the US, she would secure listings and develop marketing strategies once back in Europe while her partner would service the listings stateside. Her broker used to laugh and say that Cindy was earning more commissions living in Switzerland than some of her full time agents on site.


International Equestrian Federation, Lausanne, Switzerland
In 1995, Cindy secured a job at the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) in Lausanne, Switzerland working for the Olympic and Eventing Departments. Working there for over 2 years provided her with the knowledge of the inner workings of horse sport at the highest level. After moving back to the US, Cindy resumed selling real estate for several years.


United States Equestrian Federation, Inc.
In 1998 her employment with the FEI had led to a high profile job with the US Equestrian Federation in Gladstone, NJ, headquarters of the United States Equestrian Team. Her work experience in international horse sport with the FEI and fluency in French made her the perfect candidate to serve as "ambassador" for the Federation acting as liaison between foreign organizing committees and US competitors. She played a key role in the long battle for national governing body status between the United States Equestrian Team and the Federation. In October of 2001 she testified before the United States Olympic Committee as the only staff member. During her career in horse sports Cindy has built rapport with a wealth of riders, trainers and officials throughout the US and the world. She has worked with George Morris, Frank Chapot, Mark Philips and Klaus Balkenhol. She assisted the foreign organizing committees at the World Equestrian Games 1998 in Italy and in 2002 in Spain and at the 2005 inaugural combined World Cup Dressage/Jumping Final in Las Vegas as the International Relations Person.

Aside from her career in horse sport and college degree in equine studies, she has been an active rider since age 11 and is currently training her horse in dressage. Cindy's extensive administrative involvement with horse sports at the director level, business savvy, prior real estate experience and legal background have well prepared her for the creation of a niche brokerage firm focusing exclusively on equestrian and country properties.

Why work with Cindy Stys Equestrian Properties ?
For starters, we focus exclusively on equine & country real estate. If you're a seller and your property is not currently set up for horses, that's fine. Some buyers prefer to build their own barn, paddock, etc.

We are actively engaged in the local horse community - check out photos from our Equestrian Social held in Easton back in March at http://www.cshorseproperties.com/setteluna.html

Happy clients of Cindy Stys Equestrian & Country Properties...

Dear Cindy, We wanted to let you know how pleased we were with the professional job you did in the marketing and quick sale of our horse farm in Schnecksville, PA. After having our property listed with a local broker for over 6 months without any reasonable offer, we decided to list our property with you. Within a few days you completed a market analysis, told us what the appropriate price should be, listed and gave the property exposure in the horse community. We know now this was the ticket as we immediately began to get offers. It was great to be negotiating with two buyers at once, and even better to get the full price offer with no contingencies with 2 weeks to close! The fact that you accomplished this in a little over one month says a lot about your energy and ability to get things done. We appreciate that you did this all by email and fax, and were always available by phone to offer advice on the negotiations (you were superb on this!), and did a great job just keeping us informed. We really appreciate being able to handle all this from Georgia, although we regret that we never got to meet you in person. If you ever need a reference, please feel free to offer our names. We couldn't have been happier with the service you gave us on our transaction. Good luck with your future business. Brian and Debby Jury

Cindy did an excellent job as our real estate agent. She is very knowledgeable about the area, the equestrian community and the housing market. Not only did she help us find a home that we love but she also helped us connect with people in the horse industry. She was easy to work with and patient with our mission to find the right property.

There is an inherent conflict of interest in real estate (the buyer's agent wanting the buyer to bid high in order to increase the likelihood of the sale, as well as, to increase their commission). This was never the case with Cindy. It was clear from the beginning that she had our best interest at heart and, in fact, she helped us successfully negotiate a better deal than we would have initially sought. C & M

Thank you for all you've done. I couldn't have survived without your assistance. I really don't believe that anyone else would have been able to sell that property. It was too "unique" for a regular listing and you really came through with the marketing!
