As a small firm competing with large firms, we differentiate ourselves by being flexible, capable and willing to adapt quickly to an ever evolving business environment, keeping abreast of changes in the real estate industry. Our goal is to use new technology to lower costs of the real estate transaction for the benefit of both buyer and seller, as well as increase our office efficiency.

We offer 5 star quality professional and customised real estate sales, rentals, and property management services, (please ask us for a copy of our Recommended Charter of Quality for Vacation Rental Owners and Property Managers ), and have no plans to expand into other business activities that are not the traditional domain of real estate firms. Rather, we prefer to remain independant, operating in a niche market, helping clients and customers achieve their dreams in a professional working atmosphere of trust, offering a la carte services on a sliding scale of fees with no hidden agendas. We offer a range of services payable by the hour, a flat fee, or percentage commission, to suit all projects and pockets. We ask only that you pay for the services you use.

All our agents are members of the National Association of REALTORS (R) (NAR) and The Hamptons and North Fork Realtors Association, (HANFRA). We offer MLS Brokerage Services, in a positive and cooperative environments with other agents in the area. This allows is to identify your special home or investment opportunity. We have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the area. Click here now to contact us in confidence to discuss your requirements for buyer or seller representation.

Thinking about Selling by Owner? Here are your choices:

:

• 1. Sell without professional representation -


Pros - you'll save money by not paying the listing commission. However, you will probably end up paying buyer's agent.
Cons - 86% of owners eventually list with a Realtor, so that means in most cases (about 90%) such listings never sell. Is not selling an option?




• 2. List with a Realtor


Pros - competent professional advice to help you determine your best course of action
- Listings sold by Realtors sell for an average of 16% more than homes sold without professional representation
- Homes sold with Realtor sell in fewer days on market, so you get out quicker
Cons - if you can think of one, please email us!




• 3. Stay put and try to get your lender to do a loan modification to lower your payment.


Pros - you get to stay in hour home
Cons - the lender may not agree, and if they do, you will damage your credit rating

You need someone who knows three things:
1. Your property
2. Your market
3. Your personal situation
