Meet Carrie
I’m Carrie Smith with Krutz Properties. I live in Fort Plain and help buyers and sellers across Montgomery, Fulton, Herkimer, and Schoharie counties.
Before real estate, I spent nearly 30 years as a hairdresser and colorist. Health issues meant stepping away from color chemicals, so I pursued something I’d wanted to do since I was young. I still cut hair and still love it.
I bring the same standards to real estate: honest expectations, careful questions, and clear explanations. Tell me what you’re hoping to buy or sell. We’ll figure out where to start.
Full disclosure: these are my thoughts. AI helped organize them. If you’ve ever heard me tell a story, you understand why. 😂

Same Carrie.
Different kind of roots.
I spent about 25 years as a hairdresser and salon owner before real estate. Listening to people, talking through big changes, and having an opinion when they needed one? Plenty of practice.
Now I help people buy and sell homes around the place I call home. You’ll get honest conversations, clear next steps, and someone you can actually talk to.
A little more about me ↗Have a question?
Ask Carrie.
Send me the house. The question. The “is this crazy?” Tell me what you’re working toward, and we’ll start there.
