Roohan Realty

It is difficult to discuss Saratoga Springs without thinking about the Roohan family.

Their impact on the region, and commitment to the community, is evident everywhere. Whether it is placing thousands of American flags up and down Broadway, sponsoring our largest philanthropic events, or reimagining downtown, the Roohan family has helped to shape our city.

The Roohan legacy began in 1969 when the late John T. Roohan started what is now Roohan Realty. The first Roohan Realty office was established on Union Avenue, then moved to Court Street with a handful of employees.

After a few years of consistent growth, the office was moved into the historic district at 48 Union Avenue. This magnificent building had been part of old Saratoga and used as student housing by Skidmore and Verrazano College.

In 1996, with over 25 real estate agents, their office moved to 398 Broadway.

In 2002, the Roohan Realty team was still growing, and the company moved one last time to their current location at 519 Broadway – a prominent and historic downtown building that used to be the city’s community theater.

In the early 1970’s, the Roohan Realty team primarily focused on single family homes. Through growth, they progressed to specialize in residential, commercial, new construction and equine properties, serving eight counties in our region.

In 1979, John’s son, J. Thomas Roohan (“Tom”) earned his real estate license and joined the firm. More than fifty years later, Roohan Realty continues to flourish under Tom’s leadership.
