Waverly, N.Y.-based United Country Real Estate | Tom Mullen & Associates, LLC specializes in single-family homes and other residential properties, farms, commercial properties, and all types of land for sale in Southern New York and Northern Pennsylvania.
The heart of our market is the Penn-York Valley (or “The Valley” to locals), encompassing Waverly, N.Y.; and Sayre and Athens, Pa., just across the border. The Valley has a unique geographic setting being framed by the beautiful Susquehanna River on the east and the ever-flowing Chemung River on the west surrounded by the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The 24,000 or so residents in the region reflect a combination of tradesmen, farmers, merchants, educators, medical professionals and others who are all proud to call the Valley their home. Military veterans in particular make up a large part of the demographic, with some 6,800 in Bradford County and more than 4,200 in Tioga County.
Our office serves multiple counties on both sides of the Pa.-N.Y. border. This includes Tioga, Chemung, Tompkins, Broome, Steuben and Schuyler counties in New York, and Bradford, Susquehanna, Tioga and Lycoming counties in Pennsylvania.
Essentially, we cover what’s known as the “Twin Tiers,” i.e., the Southern Tier of New York and the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania. In New York, from Waverly to Owego or Candor, over in Elmira or Horseheads, up to Ithaca or Newfield and elsewhere in the region … we’re available and ready to meet your real estate needs. And in Pennsylvania, we assist property buyers and sellers in Sayre, Towanda and Troy; over in Wellsboro; Montrose and Union Dale; down to Williamsport or Muncy and many other surrounding cities and towns.
Whether you’re looking east of our office in Binghamton, N.Y.; north in Spencer, Trumansburg or Watkins Glen; to the west in Corning or another location, we’re here to serve you. The same holds true to the south in Towanda, Montrose, Mansfield and Williamsport, Pa., just to name a few more examples in our market area.
New York and Pennsylvania’s Twin Tiers region is filled with the natural beauty of state parks, forested mountains, lakes and rivers — all providing the ideal backdrop for hiking, biking, boating, fishing, hunting and other outdoor adventures. There are thousands of acres of public hunting land provided in the Barclay Mountains area of Bradford County, and a substantial amount of state game/state forest land available for hunting in Southern Tier New York. For those who prefer fishing and watersports, Cayuga and Seneca lakes at Ithaca and Watkins Glen are just two spots among many to check out in the Twin Tiers.
It’s particularly stunning in the fall when those rolling, wooded hills become a patchwork of bright and blazing colors. You’ll find a lot of rural farmland here – including plenty of working dairy farms – along with charming small towns. In fact, the biggest factor keeping our dairy farms active and profitable is the Leprino Foods location in Waverly, which processes more than 2.4 million pounds of milk every day. Still, the urban amenities and perks of larger cities are never too far away.
In and around “The Valley,” the cost of living and the crime rate are both below the national average. There are also many well-rated schools across all levels, from public elementary to private colleges and universities. Ithaca is home to the famed Cornell University, but there are multiple other higher education institutions in the region, including six SUNY colleges — the well-respected and nearby Binghamton SUNY University being one of them.
There’s a diverse mix of factors driving the economy across the Twin Tiers. Bradford County, Pa., is the second-highest producer of natural gas in the U.S., just behind Texas. Gas drilling has added hundreds of millions of dollars to the local economy during the last decade. In addition, the Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, Penn., stands out nationally; it’s often called the “Mayo Clinic of the East,” through its modeling and inspiration. Guthrie’s five hospitals and 35 regional clinics serve some 1 million patients each year. Guthrie’s success has led many people to move to the Twin Tiers for closer access.
The dedicated property pros at United Country Real Estate | Tom Mullen & Associates rely on a proven blend of local expertise and national marketing to serve our clients. No competitor understands the homes, land and other real estate available in Southern New York and Northern Pennsylvania better than we do. Perhaps most importantly, our ability to reach potential buyers is unrivaled.
You might be looking to sell a large country estate with a pond, outbuildings and tillable land in Waverly, N.Y.; commercial development land with great visibility and highway access in Chemung County; a 15-acre rural retreat for weekend fishing getaways in Towanda, Pa.; or just a modest ranch-style home on a couple acres somewhere in town. We’ll make sure your listing gets wide exposure via creative marketing and advertising strategies designed to find the ideal buyer.
If you’re a buyer, options and variety are important as you search for a home or piece of land that fits your goals and lifestyle. Our brokerage can help you find a Susquehanna County, Pa., lakeside luxury home or build-ready riverfront lot near Elk Mountain Ski Resort; a commercial building for a retail business or office space in downtown Sayre; 100 undeveloped, timbered acres in Tioga County, N.Y, for big buck and bear hunting; or a Victorian farmhouse on a quite country road with views of rolling hills in Owego.
