James (Averitt) Buttry
Averitt began his real estate career in Manhattan and gradually grew more involved in the Hamptons market as friends and colleagues relied on him over the years to be their trusted Hamptons real estate guide. Although he now focuses exclusively on Hamptons properties, Averitt maintains a presence in both locations and enjoys connecting with clients across the map. Averitt is a licensed attorney in three states and the District of Columbia.
Prior to entering real estate, he was a litigation attorney for a multinational law firm and served as a law clerk for two Federal Court of Appeals judges. His strong legal background affords him expert negotiation skills, a sharp mind for practical reasoning, and an honest, nononsense approach in his dealings. Averitt is an undergraduate of Davidson College and holds a law degree from Wake Forest University.
He lives in an historic home in Southampton Village, and is active in various social and civic organizations in the Hamptons and New York City. He is especially passionate about the preservation of green spaces and historic properties, and serves as a Trustee for the Southampton History Museum.
Candice Postel
Born in Manhattan and raised in Palm Beach, you could say Candice has always had the best of both worlds. Though she loves the weather in Florida, living in Manhattan for the last 25 years, this city has captured her heart.
Real estate runs in her family. Candice has had the privilege of mentoring under her mother, the top broker in Palm Beach, where she is also licensed. Clients come to her for help with their real estate needs because of her expertise, exceptional service, and excellent results.
“I don’t stop until the job is done and everyone is happy,” says Candice. “I understand the luxury market well, not just because of my background and passion for real estate. I also spent most of my career bolstering luxury fashion brands as their publicist. I know what people are looking for in a place to live, and how to represent a home to a potential buyer. My commitment and dedication to my clients’ needs are unmatched, whether they are seeking a dream home or selling a prized property.”
Candice’s strong knowledge of Manhattan and finesse for business afford her clients the most satisfying, rewarding experience possible. Outside of work, she loves walking with her daughters and dog through Central Park to school, partaking in the finest restaurants in all five boroughs with her husband, and discovering hidden gems throughout New York with her friends. She takes full advantage of living in the greatest city in the world!

Client Testimonials
“ Noble Black and his team were smart, collaborative and didn’t put a foot wrong throughout the whole process. They moved with great efficiency to produce beautiful up-front materials and ensured that our loft looked the very best for photographs and for visits by potential buyers. They communicated flawlessly throughout, negotiated expertly and gave us great confidence. With this quality of performance, it wasn’t a surprise that we had an agreed offer for the apartment within 5 days of the first open house — and only 2 weeks after first meeting Noble. On top of selling our apartment, they also helped us find an ideal rental for the remainder of the year that we will be in NYC. They were brilliant and a pleasure to work with — we would recommend the Noble Black Team to anyone.”
— SIMON WILLIAMS FOUNDER & CEO, STERLING BRANDS
“
We feel very fortunate to have worked with the Noble Black Team in fi nding and securing our ideal place in a tight timeframe. Their honest and friendly approach helped move everything along and we are already looking forward to working with them again in the future. Having a dedicated team on your side that you can trust and communicate openly with makes the whole experience one that you want others to experience as well.”

The real difference about the Corcoran® brand is simple. We focus on people and their individual needs. Our vision sets the Corcoran brand apart and keeps us first in consumers’ minds. From our critically acclaimed brand campaigns to the marketing created for your listing, we make sure to connect with the consumer on a deeper level.
We are Corcoran®
Live who you are ® . Four simple words that mean so much. To our customers, it means “Imagine the best version of who you are... and now imagine home.” But “Live who you are” also says something about us. It says “We care enough to learn about you. We care enough to ask a little more, to dig a little deeper, to listen a little better. We care enough to use all that we learn to find you precisely the right home.”
“Live who you are” says that we have the craft and resource to make a home yours once we tind it. It says we are consultants and professionals of the highest order. It says “take a journey with a trusted friend.” And most of all it says our mission goes beyond selling.
Live who you are. It defines our mission as the best real estate company in the world — a mission we are all proud to make our own.
Corcoran. Live who you are.
