Episode 260 - Ed Gaetjens

Discussing the Importance of Maintaining RelationshipsThe Hamptons can feel like a world-famous destination, but the way business works out here is pure small town: everyone’s connected, word travels fast, and your reputation is the real asset you can’t afford to gamble with. We start with a story about losing a listing, staying respectful anyway, and watching the relationship come back around, a reminder that “don’t burn bridges” isn’t just good manners, it’s smart real estate strategy.Then we get into the fun part: new construction and standout listings that are ready for summer. We spotlight a Southampton Village home at 109 David Whites Lane that’s beautifully built, walkable to the village, and somehow fits seven ensuite bedrooms into 4,200 square feet, plus entertaining-friendly outdoor spaces. We also run through multiple turnkey builds in Bridgehampton and Southampton, packed with the amenities buyers keep asking for right now: gunite pools, outdoor kitchens, theaters, saunas, cold plunges, and furnished options that make moving in feel effortless.To ground it all, we share this week’s Hamptons real estate market numbers including deals in contract, dollar volume, and the steady flow of new inventory as Memorial Day approaches. And because the East End isn’t only about houses, we wrap with Mother’s Day weekend restaurant specials and events across Montauk, Shelter Island, and Sag Harbor.
