Since the founding of the company in 1962, by Donald McGrath Senior, McGrath Realty has grown from a staff of one, working out of a small office in Katonah, into a full-service real estate and property management company with over 100 staff members and three offices throughout the Hudson Valley.
In these 60+ years, McGrath has become an acknowledged leader in the real estate industry. The company is considered the largest commercial land broker in the Hudson Valley, and is now run by Donald McGrath’s Son, Brian McGrath, and grandson, Ryan McGrath, who took over as managing partners in 2021 after the passing of Brian's brother and Ryan's father, Kevin McGrath.
Now, in its third generation, McGrath Realty continues to operate with the understanding that service is our business. Meeting the individual needs of our clients has been the foundation upon which we have grown.
No development, be it a 50-lot subdivision, a 5000-unit townhouse community, a 500,000 square foot redevelopment site, or a residential property has ever been — or will ever be — too large or too small for our staff to successfully market and sell.
As a homeowner we decided to go with Cafe Realty which is now McGrath Realty. Carol Christiansen and Walter Sadowski came to our house as real estate agents. They were so professional in how to go about with it. We had the open house the weekend we signed the contract. We hit it off with one buyer on that same weekend. The process was long with the negotiations but Walter Sadowski was just really amazing with the negotiations. Walter was always on hand to communicate with us even during off hours and even when he was on vacation. They helped us with the lawyer and we were really pleased with Atty. Michael Virga. We finally are going to close on 10/29. To the whole staff of McGrath realty our deepest gratitude and may you all be safe Cruz family Brewster NY

I can't say enough good things about Cafe Realty. From beginning to end, I was impressed with the whole team. They were genuinely concerned with doing what was in my best interests and my comfort levels, and provided excellent advice from start to finish. Walter's negotiating skill netted me extra dollars, always appreciated, and they were even able to take care of a closing day crisis when I was across the country (an unwelcome cat had taken up residence in the empty house). They went above and beyond the call of duty, both cat and closing saved! Highly recommend this team.
