ROUND TABLE
Inspired by the 86th Academy Awards on Sunday, March 2, the local experts on our Hamptons Real Estate Roundtable turn their eyes toward the silver screen to share their nominations for the best real estate movies of all time. And the winners are…
“My favorite real estate movie by far is the 1992 classic Glengarry Glen Ross. The movie depicts four real estate salesmen and what they have to do to save their jobs.

And American Beauty.”—Maz Crotty, Licensed Real Estate Salesperson, Nest Seekers “1. Field of Dreams—Because it’s so true: ‘If you build it, he will come’ 2.
