While growing up in Upstate New York I was an athlete and student in the Greater Binghamton area. I have been actively involved in coaching sports, most notably baseball for youth and adults. I obtained a degree in sports management with a concentration in business from the University of Phoenix.
I have also owned and managed several restaurants in the local area. Donating my time and money to local charities and community needs has always been something I pride myself on. My most treasured activity is being a parent to 8 amazing individuals.
My name is Bill Lidell. During my first 2 years in business as a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson I have covered a breadth of work with over 50
sales totaling over $9 million! This includes residential, commercial, and land sales! As a lifelong member of the Whitney Point and Greater Binghamton Community. I am here to help people achieve their goals in Real Estate! My work ethic is backed by honesty and integrity! Looking to buy, sell, rent, lease, or invest? No matter the situation I am here to provide guidance throughout the real estate process.
I am originally from Liverpool, NY and attended college at SUNY Brockport where I met my wife Lisa. Lisa accepted a position at Ithaca College which brought us to Cortland, NY where we’ve decided to settle and raise our family. We are blessed with two beautiful children who keep us active and involved with the community. I have been practicing real estate since 2010 and I truly love what I do!
What I enjoy the most about selling real estate is meeting new people and building relationships. This business, like many, comes with its share of challenges, but with every challenge there is a solution. My interpersonal skills, patience, and strong aptitude for this business allow me to best serve my customers and clients. I have a consistent record as a multi-million dollar producer, which means I’ve had the opportunity to help many individuals and families buy and sell real estate. I service the Central New York area with a focus in Cortland, Syracuse, and Ithaca.
The CNY area is truly beautiful and I feel grateful to have grown up here. When I am not selling real estate, I enjoy gardening, watching movies and spending time with my family.
