Delyse Berry

LICENSED PRINCIPAL BROKER

Delyse Berry is also the Founder and Principal Designer of Upstate Down, where she has built a reputation for pairing exceptional design with an intuitive understanding of the Hudson Valley’s most distinctive homes.

Since co-founding the company with her husband, Jon, she has helped shape one of the region’s most recognizable boutique real estate brands.


Before launching Upstate Down as an independent brokerage in 2021, Delyse and Jon spent eight years selling real estate with Houlihan Lawrence as the Upstate Down Team. Prior to real estate, the couple owned and operated a successful retail shop in Brooklyn, where they developed the creative vision and entrepreneurial foundation that would eventually become Upstate Down.
Delyse specializes in architecturally significant homes, exceptional country properties, and design-conscious clients who value craftsmanship, history, and a strong sense of place. Her background in interior design allows her to help both buyers and sellers see the full potential of a property, whether preparing a home for market or envisioning its next chapter. She is especially passionate about historic homes, thoughtful renovations, and preserving the unique character that makes each property special.
Outside of work, Delyse finds inspiration in gardening, walking the woods and fields of the Hudson Valley, and spending time with her family. Her deep connection to the landscape continues to shape both her design philosophy and the way she helps clients find homes that truly reflect the lives they want to build.

I have used Upstate Down to purchase and then renovate a home. Anthony Winters was my agent, and is both joyful and tireless. Anthony kept my family’s financial security front of mind, while finding properties that met our criteria. Without ever sacrificing on the qualities that would mean the house would grow in value. We had fun, he always took my call, and I closed on a great house. Immediately I began working with Delyse and her team to renovate the bathroom. The looks are stylish, timeless, and I’m impressed with the price points they were able to maintain . I ❤️ Upstate Down and you will too.

We had a great experience working with Jon and Delyse Berry from Upstate Down when selling our house in 2022. As foreigners selling a home for the first time in the US, we really appreciated how knowledgeable, calm, and supportive they were throughout the entire process. They gave expert advice at every stage, had a fantastic photographer, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and well managed. Highly recommended.

We had an extremely positive experience with Upstate Down. Hazel and Delyse were lovely to work with from renovation, to staging, to navigating the building department's rather involved permitting process. They were constructive, creative, upbeat, tasteful and talented throughout.

She was incredibly knowledgeable about the market, always available to answer questions, and genuinely took the time to understand my needs and preferences. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail was top notch.

We have had such a lovely experience with Anthony and the team at Upstate Down. We started our journey with them when Anthony found us our perfect off-market home in partnership with Delyse. It was a long and unconventional process but Anthony’s guidance and patience helped us stay the course and we couldn’t be happier. Anthony then listed our previous home and provided us multiple offers within the first 10 days. When choosing an agent and firm, we didn’t realize until we were in it how important it was for us to have a team not only with expertise but also with the design background and backing that made both our buying and selling process so much more successful. From staging to art direction with our home photoshoot, Anthony was dedicated to our vision every step of the way. Once the listing went live we were continually impressed by the style, taste and storytelling that made our home not only stand out but emphasized all the aspects of our home and neighborhood that we had grown to love while living there. The team at Upstate Down sold a lifestyle and a home - both in our purchase and our sale and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Upstate Down and Anthony Winters for real estate in the Hudson Valley!

Delyse and Jon are our go-to real estate partners. We've worked with them for the past several years, both for rentals and purchases, and they always bring an extremely informed view of the market to every house they show. They have so much experience in the area that they know the history to every previous sale or remodel, the broker community, and tons of off-market opportunities. Delyse and Jon have a good sense of what is needed to improve a house, and how to get it done. They also take the time to really understand their clients, in order to create an efficient process. As a result, they prevented us from wasting time looking at houses the knew we would never buy, and they were unbelievably helpful as we considered places that required work. Upstate Down is a one-of-a-kind real estate boutique. Their store in Rhinebeck is also worth checking out, especially if you need house gifts. Their style is impeccable. We won't work with anyone else!

We've worked with Upstate Down on selling a residential property, as well as listing and managing our ongoing summer rental. Delyse and Jon are both so knowledgeable and savvy, as well as wonderful to work with. We wouldn't consider working with anyone else, and highly recommend them on both the sales/purchasing as well as the rental side of the real estate market. Delyse also happens to be the most exceptional interior designer we've worked with. Highly recommend.
