The Real Estate Brokers Who Drive The Hamptons

 

Power Brokers have never looked so good. Our annual roundup of the East End’s most prolific realtors features rainmakers who land such dazzling listings as the ones spot-lit here, from an $80 million dollar waterfront property to a sprawling compound with two (legal!) guest houses. These men and women are also the tireless ambassadors who know best how to match you to your dream house-at any price-point. While photographing them at some of their current listings, we had the chance to ask them about the strength of the local selling market (vibrant!), about the way to thrive in the buyers’ current economic environment (cash is king!) and their favorite words to live by (location, location, location…and SOLD!).

 

 

Gary DePersia

Corcoran Group

 

DePersia was drawn to the East End in the 1980s to windsurf the blustery stretch of Napeague Baybut soon found himself immersed in the equally fast-paced, adrenaline-pumped business of real estate. With an acute knowledge of the market, as well as a penchant for risk-taking and the good life, DePersia was able to sell more than 30 properties in 2007 totaling more than $200 million. Among his career milestones is a 26-acre property he sold last year off Ocean Road in Bridgehampton for $37.5 million, the largest land transaction South of the Highway to date. His most recent clients include Rudy Giuliani and Steven Cohen, but he works the entire price spectrum. “My success comes from loving what I do. I enjoy every facet of this business, from a $320-million purchase to the most modest listings.” When he’s not selling homes, you might find him helicopter skiing in Canada, or, of course, taking in the waves of our own Napeague Stretch. One of his current listings, pictured here and priced at $19,995,000, is Stone Meadow Farm-an 18,000-square-foot, 10-bedroom estate with horse stables, expansive patios and stone courtyards, sprawling across 8 open acres in East Hampton.
