Meet Liz Harrington
Liz Harrington is the founder of Local Home Check and a licensed real estate salesperson with Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty. She helps homeowners, buyers, sellers, developers, and investors navigate the Hudson Valley by combining trusted local relationships with responsive, personalized service.
After more than 20 years building strategic partnerships and leading business development for organizations including the Associated Press, Getty Images, and emerging technology companies, Liz chose to bring her relationship-building expertise home to the Hudson Valley. She founded Local Home Check in 2018 with a simple mission: to provide homeowners with peace of mind while strengthening the local economy through trusted connections and exceptional service.
Today, Local Home Check offers professional Home Watch and Keyholder Services, preventative property care, real estate services, and access to a carefully vetted network of contractors, artisans, and local businesses. Liz believes homeownership doesn’t end at closing—it begins with trusted local relationships that help homeowners protect, maintain, and enjoy their investment for years to come.
Beyond serving homeowners, Liz is passionate about strengthening the Hudson Valley through entrepreneurship, education, and sustainable development. She has served as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence with the SUNY New Paltz Venture Hub, helping connect entrepreneurs, businesses, and community partners to opportunities that foster innovation and economic growth. She also teaches business and entrepreneurship at New Paltz High School, preparing students with the skills and confidence to become the next generation of business leaders.
Committed to sustainable homeownership, Liz completed the Empower Kingston Green Jobs Training Program to deepen her understanding of building science, energy efficiency, and high-performance homes. Her goal was to connect with builders creating workforce housing and passive or near-passive homes that reduce long-term maintenance and operating costs while supporting healthier, more resilient communities.
Liz also works with developers, municipalities, property owners, and investors as a trusted local liaison. She helps build relationships between developers, municipal leaders, community organizations, prospective commercial tenants, and other stakeholders, identifying opportunities and fostering collaboration that supports thoughtful, sustainable growth throughout the Hudson Valley.
A longtime Kingston resident, entrepreneur, educator, and community connector, Liz enjoys helping people discover not only the right property but also the lifestyle that comes with living in the Hudson Valley. Whether you’re looking for a weekend retreat, a family home, artist or maker studio space, access to tennis facilities, commercial opportunities, or simply a trusted local partner, Liz is dedicated to helping you build meaningful connections to the place you call home.
