21, High Peaks Realty, has joined their office
in Lake Placid, New York.
Mike Damp, broker/owner of Century 21

level of service and exposure to his agents and

Saranac Lake.
Damp, a native of Lake Placid, brings to Select

Real Estate expertise and nine agents and staff.
“As the local real estate market continues
to improve, I saw an opportunity to offer my
clients and agents global exposure as an enhancement
to our existing marketing toolset,”

for us since our goal is to sell the beautiful
lake and mountain properties that this region
has to offer.”
