About Mary Banker

A lifelong resident of Columbia County, New York, I was born and raised in Spencertown, where I also raised my family. Deeply rooted in the community, I proudly serve as an Emergency Medical Responder and as President of the Fireman's Auxiliary for the Spencertown Volunteer Fire Department. Horses have always held a special place in my heart. I’m the founder and manager of the Emily Eckstrom Equine Foundation, a nonprofit based on our 13-acre farm. The foundation rescues horses and provides horseback riding and boarding opportunities for individuals facing financial challenges. With over 35 years of hands-on experience in construction, renovation, and real estate investment throughout Columbia County and Northern Florida, I bring a wealth of practical knowledge to every real estate transaction. My expertise in building and design helps clients find homes and investment properties with confidence—and for those with equestrian needs, I offer a unique advantage in locating the perfect horse property. I’m honored to be part of The Kinderhook Group, where my deep local ties, professional background, and heartfelt approach help guide clients to the property of their dreams.
