Hart is Where Your Home is!
I offer personalized guidance and a tailored strategy to achieve your real estate goals; with in-depth real estate market knowledge, the skills to negotiate and handle complex transactions, and quick responses, plus professional marketing.
In 1999 I chose to make Ithaca, NY my home when I moved from southern Pennsylvania to attend & graduate from Ithaca College's Park School of Communications.
My career started at RE/MAX in Motion in 2005.
In 2017, I founded the Hart and Homes Real Estate Team at RE/MAX. The team has become one of the most respected & successful in the Ithaca area; steeped in a work environment where collaboration, innovation, and client satisfaction are the top priorities.
In 2020 I became Co-Broker/Owner of RE/MAX in Motion alongside Melissa Miller Fedrizzi.
I've had the honor to be voted Finger Lakes Favorite REALTOR in 2021 and 2023. In 2017 I was voted Ithaca’s REALTOR of the Year. I've earned the RE/MAX’s 100% club award, Titan Team award and am a RE/MAX Hall of Fame Inductee and most recently received the RE/MAX Lifetime Achievement award (2024).
I am a 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 enjoy giving back to the community that has supported me and I volunteer my time with T-burg Takes on Pediatric Cancer as the Treasurer, while also supporting numerous other local charities.
You can find me in Trumansburg with my husband and two sons or working out at the gym (Orange Theory Fitness). I like to spend time with friends & family, watching movies, cheering on my favorite football team (The Steelers) and supporting the awesome local craft breweries & wineries and Finger Lakes restaurants.

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 19 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!
