About Chris Getman

Although I grew up on the Connecticut Shore and lived for many years in Provincetown on Cape Cod, I spent my childhood summers in the Adirondacks at our family camp. My summers in the Adirondacks have always felt like home to me. So when my husband, Joe, and I visited the Hudson River Valley for a wedding a few years ago, we very quickly knew that we would one day make this area our home.

Before that, my background includes many years in the retail profession both in Connecticut and New York – spending most of that time in the fashion industry before my last corporate gig with Apple where as a General Manager I oversaw the Greenwich, Connecticut store. After seven years with Apple, I decided to shake things up, and so with our Golden Doodle, Gracie, we decided to make our weekend home in Provincetown our full time residence. We left our Connecticut lives and careers to start our own business. We rescued an old health food store and recreated the space into a modern day market and cafe. Both a personal and professional success!

After living in the Hudson part-time for the past few years, we are thrilled to finally call the Hudson River Valley our full time home home. We have settled into our 1880’s Italianate-style home in the historic district of Hudson after an extensive renovation – a process not new to us and one which we enjoy very much.

Through my many years of working retail for both corporate America and as a small business owner, I find that the most rewarding aspect has been the relationships I have built with my clients and my teams, many with whom I still remain very close.

And I have always had a passion for all aspects of real estate – from the search for the right property, to design and landscaping to the unloading of the boxes. So once we settled into our new home and community, it was a natural decision for me to begin doing what I enjoy most: Real Estate. It is like a dream come true, and I am delighted to be part of the Houlihan Lawrence team!
