the most effective real estate brokerage firm in the hamptons Saunders & Associates was launched in 2008 in the midst of the global financial crisis. Led by Andrew Saunders, the firm has risen to become the most effective and largest locally owned brokerage firm in the Hamptons, exclusively representing $2 billion worth of Hamptons real estate. The firm continues to grow, has attracted 180 agents thus far and has expanded with offices in Southampton Village, Bridgehampton and East Hampton.

2015 was another significant year for the firm. We transacted $1.4 billion in Hamptons properties and were involved in 5 of the top 15 sales including the highest priced transaction, a $57.3M oceanfront property in East Hampton Village.

The firm also opened an elegant 5,200 sq. ft. East Hampton office and was involved in 40% of all transactions from Southampton to Montauk.

Executing a model that is unique in the industry, Saunders educates and empowers its agents to better serve their customers and clients and become trusted advisors. We mobilize significant creative and financial resources behind our agents to enhance their ability to get their listings seen and sold and to provide you with a higher form of realty.

in-house creativity The Saunders marketing mandate is to continually conceive and launch new responsive ways to connect with qualified buyers for Hamptons properties around the corner and around the world.

The firm has created a 12-person in-house creative studio that is staffed with fulltime photographers, graphic artists, internet specialists and writers. This team works closely with our agents in preparing sales strategies to get properties seen and sold. We help our agents to grow their business and craft promotional pieces that set them apart.

We also work with top branding and public relations firms to help develop messages to enhance the effectiveness of our endeavors and broaden our reach.

The Saunders brand mission is led by Gary Nolan, who was the first person to join Andrew Saunders in 2008 and is now the firm’s Senior Vice President of Business Development. He created an effective advertising, marketing and technology system that empowers our brokers and stimulates sales. As the former Director of Marketing & Advertising for the Corcoran Group and Allan Schneider Associates, he is one of the most respected luxury real estate marketing pros in the industry.
