I am certified NYS Real Estate Instructor and a 2018 graduate of NYSAR's Leadership Academy.
In 2019 I served as the NYSAR Southern Tier Regional Vice President. I also sat on the Ithaca board of REALTORS board of directors as local director (2011-13) Secretary/Treasurer (2014) President-Elect (2015), President (2016), Past-President (2017-18). I was NYSAR’s Southern Tier Region RPAC trustee (2016-17) and chaired numerous other local & state committees.
I was honored to be voted Finger Lakes Favorite REALTOR in 2021 and 2023. In 2017 I was voted Ithaca’s REALTOR of the Year. I have also received the Ithaca Board of REALTORS President’s award, RE/MAX’s 100% club, Titan Team award and am a RE/MAX Hall of Fame Inductee.
When I’m not helping clients or volunteering, you can find me supporting and promoting my favorite charities, working out at the gym (Orange Theory Fitness) entertaining friends and family, cheering on my Steelers, and supporting the amazing restaurants, breweries & wineries here in the Finger Lakes.
Helping people is what I do and when you love what you do, you never work a day in your life!

Are you looking for a real estate agent to help you buy, sell, or lease a home, land, or commercial space? One with knowledge of the local area and an upbeat, outgoing, and goal-oriented personality? Look no further, I’m your man! Hello everyone! My name is Colby Gee. When I started my real estate career, I knew I wanted to be surrounded by like-minded individuals, who strove for success as much as I do. When I found the Hart and Homes Team, I instantly felt that I was with my own kind.
With over a decade of combined experience in the real estate industry, the ladies of the Hart and Homes Team welcomed me in with friendliness, valuable lessons, and priceless connections. Lindsay Hart, the associate broker at RE/MAX in Motion and the leader of our team, has been in real estate for 13 years, and has amassed many accolades and awards along with professional recognition.
Growing up here in the Ithaca area, I’ve been able to experience first hand the rise of the flourishing real estate market in the city and surrounding areas. My childhood summers were spent at Cayuga Lake and baseball camps, with excursions to Purity Ice Cream and Ithaca College sports games. When it came time to choose a college, I knew I wanted to stay here in Ithaca. I graduated from Ithaca College in 2014, and have been working as a part of the community ever since.
I became a licensed real estate salesperson at the end of summer in 2017. During my first year, I gained first-hand experience in both the roles of buyers’ and sellers’ agent, as well as working with a commercial lease. I also walked countless acres of land, in the rain, snow, and sunshine.
When I’m your agent, there are no business hours. I pride myself in being available to my customers nearly 24/7, from simple contract questions to long and complicated contingency issues. My door is always open, my phone is always on. If I don’t know the answer, I will always find out!
When I am not showing homes or walking land, I spend my time riding my motorcycles, spending time with my dog, Calvin, and relaxing by the lake—any lake.
I always tell my clients that when buying or selling with me, it’s stress-free with Gee—and I mean it! My aim is to create a seamless home buying or selling process; let me do all the work! I am so honored and excited to be able to serve the local community as a real estate agent with the Hart and Homes Team. Contact me today! Let’s work together to find the home of your dreams, the perfect buyer to whom you will pass along your home, or the beautiful plot of land to plan your future. I’ll be waiting for your call! And remember, it’s always stress-free with Gee!

With 9 years of real estate experience under her belt, Tiffany already has raving fans and has earned RE/MAX's Executive club award, 100% club award and the Ithaca Board of REALTORS® Initiative Award.
Born with the heart of an adventurer, Tiffany did what many have thought to do but few have had the courage to execute: She chose a brand new home, literally, off a map. After college and living in Virginia, Tiffany and her husband decided to move to upstate New York and they fell in love with the Ithaca/Watkins Glen area. Sixteen years, three kids, three houses, and multiple pets later, they have become “locals” in the hometown they never knew they always wanted.
Tiffany’s love for Real Estate began as a supplement to her full-time job - motherhood. She was quickly reminded that being able to help people was in her blood, something she had first learned in her decade-long tenure with the American Cancer Society. This passion to help has been rekindled in a desire to assist people with their most personal possession – their home. Through personal experience, Tiffany has learned that having an agent who is truly on your side can make all the difference in the buying or selling process.
In 2021 Tiffany and her husband took their 3 kids, their 5th wheel and their dog Moose to travel the country. They homeschooled their children and visted 39 states. They realized along the way they had a passion for hospitality. They now have a couple of short term rentals and are the co-founders of a proprety management company( Branch Rental Management Solutions) that serves their owners with a custom management plan.
