Avoid this common residential real estate mistake in the East End:
“Consider the property’s future resale value and make design and building choices that will appeal to a broad market. (Obviously, this may not apply if there are unlimited means).”
My favorite beaches:
“Smaller beaches with fewer parking spaces are my go-to spots, such as Southampton’s Cryder Beach on the ocean and the north end of Sag Harbor’s Long Beach on the bay. Sagaponack’s Peters Pond Beach is also less trafficked, while Southampton’s Coopers Beach is one of the best for conveniences like concessions and restrooms.”
Boating tips:
“There are any number of options, but a good place to start is Joe Ialacci at Yacht Hampton for charters with great crews and staff.”
Hot Hoods:
“Coveted areas are anything on or near water, since it’s a rare and limited commodity. There are many special hidden spots along the waterfront, particularly bays and inlets—Peconic and Noyack bays into Sag Harbor and Gardiners Bay.”
