Jaw dropping, stunning .. w/lots of hiddent value throughout. L-Kane's post modern classic.. the staging & finish details will simply blow you away! Larry understands the spec market& his sense of vision gets-em everytime! outeast.com/properties/sal…


Great staging will use fine art to add color, texture & of course a visual emotion. In this example, there's a spark of joy & happiness! For specific & special commisioned art that adds color & a new dimension to any bland living space.. we know a guy! #DEBOART #TimothyGualtieri

Montauk has always been under-valued & often forgotten. The extra 20 min car ride was the biggest deterrent .. but all that has changed. Also meet the new breed of savvy MTK agents that know their stuff, w/the best listings in the Hamptons!

We're not big fans of showcasing a staircase w/a window back drop to the outside world. Mainly because it's never executed well, often off center or frankly the staircase is ugly .. however this one is spot on! Love it .. #Houzz #Pinterest #HGTV


HS also loves this color palette .. the classic gray tile floor is a great back drop to the turquoise walls that pops out of the shower. Not sure if this will stand the test of time, but in a summer beach house it rocks!

Interesting design & well executed .. we assume the hip-roof style & angulated design was intended to meet village set backs or the dreaded pyramid law ..

Make that 22 .. the phot appears to be an epic fail-why? We get the high-tech flushmount ceiling vent above the Island. Cool.. what we don't get is the cook top w/in inches of the seating area.. the concept of talking & cooking infront of guests is a disaster inwaiting..

Joanna Gaines is coming into her own as a designer & trend setter.. East End buyers have grown tired of the same old/s.o. .. note her new take on the Mission Craftmen door frame & the painted cement tiles. New & different is good, we love it!

Interesting read.. EastEnders/Developers agree, there's a rule of demishing returns on a #fixerupper vs #NewConstructition . It begins w/ the bones, cost to cure, but in the end boils down to land-values, new salescomps vs inventory#s. Enjoy! nytimes.com/2018/02/16/rea…

Mostly common sense .. building budget "boxes" & not going outside their lines is a big tip. However there's something to be said about understanding the cost of time & materials ..

Great article.. w/ some good advice. HS suggests you also ask a 30 yr const lending expert, Dan Gualtieri from LMC. He offer's bank direct const lending & multiple broker products! Call Dan & pick his brain .. 516-356-4834

Typically.. talk like this starts the ball rolling. 1st, a panic sell off. 2nd, cooling off, wait & see period of time, 3rd, bargain hunters pounce. This isn't good for any market .. every market suffers.

Here's our 2 cents on diversifying. Consider a Hamptons Rental Property in your future.. buy/fix up, rent, sell. Repeat, buy/fix up, rent. sell! Also,purchase in an LLC.

The truth about diversifying overseas: History of Dow crashes shows it doesn't help cnb.cx/2nN0jA1



Joanna Gaines has a unique eye for re-purposing .. old lockers, perfect to store towels in a pool house, laundry room.. in this example , she incorporated into a boys bath.. #DIY #Houzz #Pinterest #HamptonLuxuryHomes

I’ve had these lockers for years and saved them because I knew one day I’d find the perfect project for them. I just love them in the Copp boy’s washroom from this week’s #fixerupper #funandfunctional #magnoliadesignandconstruction

We elected a builder, so we guess it must be good for the const industry? Appears the new const biz is on track and doing well..
