Kathy Sloane maintains a high profile in the New York, NY, real estate sphere and has attained in excess of $1 billion in New York sales over the years. One of her most prominent clients as a real estate agent has been the Clinton family. In the late 1990s, the then First Lady sought out Kathy Sloane’s assistance in helping her secure a residence that her family could comfortably live in following their time in the White House.
Ms. Sloane undertook an extensive search spanning more than 90 properties and seven counties in New York. The search was a complex one, given that not only the Clintons, but also the Secret Service, needed to approve the location. Finally, she found an ideal residence in Chappaqua. The 11-room Dutch Colonial was situated on a leafy cul-de-sac that was chosen partly for reasons of security.
After Hillary Clinton took a look and approved, her husband followed and they were joined by a few dozen members of the press. Bill Clinton quickly found friends in the neighborhood, inviting locals (and their dogs) to chat, and the couple decided to go ahead and purchase the $1.7 million property.
