Tammy Kruger

Land Specialist Manager

Tammy has been coaching New York Land & Lakes clients in their land endeavors since 1999. Now managing the team of land specialists at New York Land & Lakes, her first love remains connecting her clients with land that feeds their soul, family, portfolio or legacy. She aims to be the top educator of land in New York, as continuous research is applied to her own land investments as well. You may see her chatting with flowers or wildlife in the forest, reading a book by a stream, paddle boarding in a lake, swimming a day away or hammocking (she really wants this to be an acceptable word).

Eamonn Hinchy

Land Specialist

Connection with the Land transforms people. I spent my formative years camping and canoeing with my family. It deepened my relationship with them and set me on a path that remains, to this day, centered around Nature. When I taught Biology, my students came alive on walks in the woods. My adult clients do too. The inner child, it seems, is irrepressible on farms and fields and woods. It never gets old seeing people light up like this.
Land is so much to so many: security, food, sanctuary, investment, shelter, legacy, recreation. It’s amazing what one can discover on a walk in the woods.

COAL

Office Dog

Coal is the office dog. Owned by Bob Lesperence, Coal is a 4 year old Black Labrador Retriever. He can usually be found prowling around the office looking for someone to throw a ball for him. His favorite pastime, other than swimming, is to go out with the NYL&L staff to tour property. You might even see him at one of our events begging for treats from unsuspecting customers.
