Helping guide you home

My name is Ian Keir, and I’m the founder of This Upstate Home. I believe home is one of the most personal places in our lives. It shapes the way we live, gather, rest, and connect, and finding the right one is about more than square footage or a checklist. It’s about feeling rooted. It’s about beauty, belonging, and discovering a place that feels aligned with the life you want to create.

Through This Upstate Home, I help people navigate the Hudson Valley real estate market with honesty, care, and a strong sense of place. I’m inspired by the charm and character of upstate living, from historic houses and quiet roads to design-conscious spaces and close-knit communities, and I bring that perspective into every client relationship. I want people to feel supported not just in the transaction, but in the bigger picture of what home means to them.

My style is warm, transparent, and thoughtful. I care about good communication, grounded guidance, and making the process feel approachable and personal. Above all, I want my clients to feel seen, understood, and genuinely at home here.
